MLB Player News

Donaldson has been diagnosed with a high-grade strain/small tear in his right calf and is without a timetable for a return, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Donaldson was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a calf injury, and it's possible his season could be over after he received his MRI results. The team likely won't disclose a firm timetable for a return until later on in the recovery process, but this isn't the news the Yankees were hoping for after Donaldson exited Saturday's matchup in discomfort. Oswald Peraza, who led off Monday, should see an uptick in playing time over the rest of the season.

Peraza is starting at third base and batting leadoff Monday against the Angels, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Peraza didn't start his first game back in the majors Sunday, but he did deliver an RBI single and a stolen base off the bench. His reward is a spot atop the Yankees' lineup Monday.

LeMahieu is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Angels.

LeMahieu will get a breather after he went 6-for-13 with two doubles and two runs scored in the Yankees' series in Colorado. Oswald Peraza will take over at the hot corner and bat leadoff in the series opener in Los Angeles.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Taylor Walls will step in at third base after Paredes manned the hot corner for the final two games of the Rays' series with the Royals over the weekend. Paredes connected on his 17th home run of the season in Sunday's 8-4 win, giving him four long balls in seven games thus far in July.

Devers is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Athletics.

Devers will take a seat for the first time since June 14 as the Red Sox launch their three-game series in Oakland. The third baseman has been red-hot since returning to action following the All-Star break, going 6-for-13 with three solo homers, two doubles and five runs scored over Boston's series in Chicago. Justin Turner will start at third base while Adam Duvall enters the lineup in center field after some shuffling and will bat fifth in the series opener with the Athletics.

Peterson will sit Monday against the Red Sox, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Peterson will remain on the bench for a second consecutive game after he went 2-for-8 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base over Oakland's three-game series with the Twins. Jordan Diaz will draw the start at the hot corner and bat second in the series opener with Boston.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Garcia will take a seat for the first time since June 14, breaking a streak of 26 consecutive starts. The move to the bench comes after Garcia had fallen into a bit of a slump at the dish of late, as he's gone 3-for-26 over his last seven starts. Nicky Lopez will spell him at third base Monday.

Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday in a loss to the Astros.

Moustakas put the Angels on the board and tied the game in the second inning with a 415-foot blast to center field. It was the veteran slugger's second homer in as many days and his fourth in 14 games since joining the Halos on June 24. Moustakas is hitting just .240 with his new team, though, and has struck out at a troublesome 33.3 percent rate.

Burger went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against Atlanta.

Burger blasted a two-run homer in the second inning, his fourth long ball in his last 10 games. He's also chipped in seven runs scored and seven RBI in that span, while reaching base at a .351 clip. Over a larger sample, Burger has an elevated strikeout rate that will preclude him from being a well-rounded producer. However, with 21 home runs across 274 plate appearances on the season, he's a proven source of power so long as Yoan Moncada (back) is sidelined.

Shenton has been promoted from Double-A Montgomery to Triple-A Durham.

Shenton is already 25, so he is old for a player making his Triple-A debut. After being roughly league average at Double-A in 2021 (103 wRC+) and 2022 (100 wRC+), Shenton was 58 percent better than league average this year, slashing .307/.415/.567 with 15 home runs in 73 games. He received the majority of his starts at third base while at Double-A, but Shenton has been filling in at first base during his Triple-A time for Kyle Manzardo (undisclosed), who is on the injured list.
