LeMahieu (toe) said he'll remain out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, but he's available off the bench and will avoid a stint on the injured list, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

The Yankees are expected to announce multiple roster moves prior to Wednesday's contest, but LeMahieu apparently won't be deactivated to clear a spot for one of the new arrivals. He's seemingly made strides in his recovery from the right big toe inflammation that has kept him out of the lineup since Sunday, and if he incurs no setbacks in the next 24 hours, he said he expects to re-enter the starting nine for Thursday's series finale.

Urias went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.

The multi-hit effort was Urias' first since July 25, ending a 19-game stretched in which he batted just .164. Despite the extended slump, Urias doesn't appear to have lost hold of his near-everyday role at third base. He'll man the hot corner and bat fifth in Wednesday's series finale in Toronto, according to Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the White Sox.

Bregman doubled in consecutive plate appearances, and he tallied an RBI and run scored in the third inning. The effort extended Bregman's hitting streak to eight games, during which he's collected three home runs, four doubles, nine runs scored and 10 RBI. For the season, he now owns a .820 OPS, his highest mark since the 2019 campaign.

Miranda went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a walk in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Royals.

Miranda continues to hit well in August -- he's gone 17-for-55 (.309) through 14 games this month. Six of those have been multi-hit efforts. The corner infielder is up to a .283/.330/.461 slash line with 11 home runs, 49 RBI, 29 runs scored, one stolen base and 15 doubles through 288 plate appearances, and he's emerged as a fixture in the heart of the Twins' order.

Urshela went 4-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Royals.

Urshela contributed RBI singles in the seventh and eighth innings. This was his third multi-hit effort in 11 games in August, and he's hit .300 (12-for-40) this month with four extra-base hits. The third baseman is batting .269 -- his highest mark since June 11 -- while adding a .745 OPS, 11 home runs, 49 RBI and 41 runs scored through 97 contests.

LeMahieu (toe) remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Rays.

The 33-year-old is on the bench for a third straight game due to an inflamed right toe, but manager Aaron Boone expressed optimism that LeMahieu will rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's series finale, according to Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. LeMahieu has a pedestrian .682 OPS in 47 at-bats since the beginning of August.

Rafaela has hit just .194/.310/.333 over his last 10 games for Double-A Portland.

He's still managed to hit a homer and steal three bags in that time, so it hasn't been all bad. The 21-year-old still has a hearty .280/.340/.508 batting line in 48 games since being promoted to Double-A. With 18 homers and 25 steals across two levels this season, Rafaela has shown off an exciting tool set. His plate discipline could still use a bit of work, but Rafaela looks like he's on track to crack the majors at some point next season.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Monday against the Astros.

Moncada made his only hit of the day count, as he delivered the game-winning runs on a single in the eighth inning. Despite the positive performance Monday, Moncada is hitting only .196 across 54 at-bats in August. That's continued a disappointing campaign, as Moncada has maintained just a .199/.266/.314 line in 286 plate appearances.

Suarez is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Suarez is mired in a 4-for-32 (.125) slump, so manager Scott Servais decided to hold him out Monday for the first time since May 15 and just the third time all season. Jake Lamb will man the hot corner for the Mariners in Suarez's place.

LeMahieu (toe), who isn't starting Monday against the Rays, underwent an MRI that revealed inflammation, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

LeMahieu is out of the lineup for a second consecutive game and will receive treatment to help address the pain that he's felt while swinging recently. However, he isn't expected to require a cortisone shot and is considered day-to-day.
