Devers (hamstring) is expected to return to action Tuesday against the Astros, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Devers landed on the injured list in late July, and it appears he will not miss more than the minimum 10 days he was required to sit out.

Bregman was placed on the paternity list Monday.

Bregman was scratched from Monday's lineup in order to be with his wife, and he wound up being excused from the team for the next 1-to-3 days. Taylor Jones was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land to take Bregman's place on the roster.

Nevin isn't in the lineup Monday against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Nevin should see additional playing time for the Orioles after Trey Mancini was dealt to the Astros on Monday, but Nevin will take a seat for Monday's series opener in Texas. Ryan Mountcastle is starting at first base while Terrin Vavra enters the lineup in left field.

Bregman was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Bregman is not dealing with any sort of injury, but his wife went into labor with the couple's child, and he will leave the team for the time being to be with her. Aledmys Diaz will take Bregman's place at third base, and Chas McCormick will replace Diaz in left field.

LeMahieu went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to Kansas City.

A day after swatting his 10th homer of the season, LeMahieu belted blast No. 11 off Zack Greinke in the fifth inning Sunday. This was the first time this season that the veteran infielder has gone deep in consecutive contests. LeMahieu enjoyed a productive July, slashing .344/.462/.490 with four homers, 11 RBI, two stolen bases and a 20:14 BB:K over 25 games.

The Twins reinstated Urshela (personal) from the paternity list ahead of Monday's game against the Tigers, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Urshela spent the maximum three days away from the team while observing the birth of his child. Now that he's back with the Twins, the new father should settle back into a near-everyday role at third base as the team begins a seven-game week.

Gelof (shoulder) has gone 8-for-37 (.216 average) with two home runs and a 9:12 BB:K over nine games since being reinstated from Double-A Midland's 7-day injured list July 14.

Gelof was sidelined for approximately a month and a half with a torn labrum in his left shoulder before rejoining the Midland lineup shortly before the All-Star break. Since the injury was to his non-throwing shoulder, Gelof has been able to pick up starts at both second and third base upon returning from the IL. The 22-year-old is slashing .298/.371/.444 with six home runs and eight stolen bases over 229 plate appearances for Midland in 2022.

Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Moncada will sit for the first time since the All-Star break after going 4-for-29 with three doubles, three runs and four RBI in the White Sox's first eight games of the second half. Leury Garcia will spell Moncada at third base.

Walls is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Walls will sit for the second time in three games, and his leash as the Rays' everyday shortstop could be loosening while he struggles to make a consistent impact at the dish. Unless he's deployed off the bench Sunday, Walls will finish July with a lowly .188/.296/.290 slash line over 23 games.

Garcia will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Garcia is picking up his fourth consecutive start, but his run of regular playing time could come to an end as soon as Bobby Witt is ready to play the field again. Witt is serving as the Royals' designated hitter Sunday in his second game back from a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury, so Garcia will get another turn at shortstop in Witt's stead.
