Suarez went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in an extra-inning loss to the Orioles on Sunday.

Suarez had gone the previous four games without an RBI, a modest stretch by most players' standards but a virtual eternity for one with as much of a penchant for timely hitting as the veteran slugger. Suarez's multi-hit effort was his fifth in the last 13 contests, and he's hit .333 with men in scoring position over 21 plate appearances during that span.

Ramirez was reinstated from the restricted list Monday after completing his two-game suspension.

Ramirez sat out games in Tampa Bay on Saturday and Sunday while serving the ban, which stemmed from with the White Sox's Tim Anderson on Aug. 5. The Guardians are off Monday, but Ramirez will be available for the start of their two-game set in Cincinnati on Tuesday.

Gelof went 4-for-5 with two home runs in Sunday's 8-7 loss against the Nationals.

Gelof opened the scoring with a solo home run off Trevor Williams in the first inning before adding a second long ball in the fifth. The 23-year-old second-baseman is up to eight homers this season, with three coming in his last four games. Gelof's now slashing .281/.343/.635 with 18 runs scored, 13 RBI and six stolen bases across 105 plate appearances in an impressive rookie campaign.

Urias isn't in the Orioles' lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

Urias extended his hitting streak to six games Friday but will sit for the second consecutive contest Sunday. His absence will allow Jordan Westburg to start at third base and bat eighth.

Paredes isn't in the Rays' lineup Sunday against Cleveland.

Paredes will get a break Sunday after going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during Saturday's contest. Curtis Mead will take over at third base and bat seventh in Paredes' place.

Chapman was scratched from Toronto's lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Cubs due to inflammation in his right middle finger, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

The severity of Chapman's injury is unclear, but it is apparently enough to keep him out of Sunday's contest. The Blue Jays will take a closer look at him and should offer more information in the near future. Meanwhile, Santiago Espinal will slide over to third base in Chapman's place, and Paul DeJong will enter at shortstop.

LeMahieu (calf) isn't in the Yankees' lineup Sunday against Miami.

LeMahieu's sore right calf will keep him out of the lineup for a fifth consecutive game Sunday, but the veteran third baseman will be available off the bench and could return to the lineup Monday against Atlanta, per Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will continue to start at third base, allowing Billy McKinney to man left field.

Devers isn't in the Red Sox's lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

After going 3-for-7 through the first two games of the series, Devers will get a day off for the first time since mid-July. Luis Urias will shift over to third base in Devers' absence, allowing Pablo Reyes to start at second.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.

Moncada tagged Brandon Woodruff for a solo shot to center field in the sixth inning, marking his first homer since returning from a lengthy stay on the injured list July 25. The third baseman has seen his power drop off since going deep 25 times in 2019, as he has since topped out at 14 homers over 144 contests in 2021. With just four long balls and one stolen base across 54 games, Moncada has been waiver-wire fodder in most fantasy formats this season.

Urias is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mariners, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Urias will get a day off after he went 2-for-7 with a triple and a run scored while starting the last two games following a one-game absence with a heel injury. Jordan Westburg will take over at third base and bat eighth against Seattle.
