LeMahieu (toe) took part in defensive drills and batting practice prior to Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

LeMahieu's exact timetable for a return remains unclear, but it's reassuring that he's continuing to ramp up baseball activities. According to Rivera, the Yankees will re-evaluate the infielder in the coming days to determine the next steps in his rehab. The club remains optimistic that LeMahieu will be ready to be activated from the 10-day injured list before the end of the regular season.

Urias (neck) isn't in the lineup Monday against the Red Sox.

Urias has been in and out of the lineup with spasms in his neck area since he was scratched early from Friday's game against Houston. While he sits, Rougned Odor will start at second base and bat seventh.

Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said Suarez (finger) will likely be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Suarez was placed on the IL on Sept. 17 due to a small fracture in the tip of his right index finger, but after he was able to take swings without any discomfort over the past few days, he looks like he'll be ready to go when Seattle kicks off a three-game series with Texas on Tuesday. Dipoto noted that Suarez will likely serve as the Mariners' designated hitter Tuesday, so expect Carlos Santana to head to the bench for that contest.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 4-1 loss to Detroit.

The White Sox were unable to generate much offensive production Sunday, but Moncada accounted for the team's lone run with his home run to lead off the bottom of the fourth inning. He has three extra-base hits over his last five games, and he's gone 3-for-20 with two solo home runs, a double, a walk and four strikeouts over that stretch.

Devers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Devers will step out of the lineup for the first time since Sept. 7, and he had an .815 OPS with two home runs and 11 RBI during that 13-game stretch. Bobby Dalbec will step in at the hot corner and bat seventh in Sunday's series finale.

Donaldson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Donaldson started the past 12 games and will head to the bench after he posted an .864 OPS with three home runs during that span. Marwin Gonzalez will take over at the hot corner in Sunday's series finale.

Duffy is not in Sunday's lineup against the Twins.

Duffy is hitting .267 with one home run and four RBI over his last 10 games. Michael Stefanic is starting at second base, pushing Luis Rengifo to third base.

Urias is day-to-day with back/neck spasms, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Manager Brandon Hyde said Sunday that Urias would miss a day or two, so it sounds like he should return either Monday or Tuesday in Boston. Rougned Odor is starting in his place Sunday.

Walls (groin) is starting at second base and hitting ninth Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Walls had been making appearances off the bench this weekend, but this is his first start since Thursday. He is hitting .171 with one home run and two steals in 18 games this month.

Urias is not in Sunday's lineup against the Astros, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Urias is hitting .220 with zero home runs in 20 games this month. Rougned Odor will start at second base while Gunnar Henderson starts at third.
