Oswald Peraza 3B | LAA
Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Could play during doubleheader
Peraza (knee) could be available to play at some point during Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Peraza is not starting the first game of the double dip, which is the second straight contest he's been absent from the lineup. The swelling in his left knee has gone down, though, and while it doesn't sound like he'll start the nightcap, he should be available off the bench. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is handling third base in the first game.

Jordan Diaz 3B | ATH
Athletics' Jordan Diaz: Multi-hit effort in loss
Diaz went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a double in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.
Diaz produced his first multi-hit effort since Sept. 1, the last game before he fell into a 3-for-20, seven-game funk. The rookie snapped out of it to an extent Sunday with a performance that included his fourth extra-base hit and RBI of September. Diaz did whiff two more times, however, pushing his strikeout rate to 36.7 percent since the start of the month.
