Toro is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

He'll be on the bench for the second time in four contests after having recently completed a nine-game run in the starting nine. With Jesse Winker set to return from suspension for Tuesday's game in Washington, Toro's opportunities may become more scarce in the final week before the All-Star break.

Chapman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Chapman will sit Sunday after posting a .597 OPS and 27.8 percent strikeout rate in his past nine games. Santiago Espinal will shift to the hot corner while Cavan Biggio starts at second base.

Candelario is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

With four hits -- including a home run -- to go with two walks, four RBI and four runs over his last four starts, Candelario's dormant bat is beginning to warm up. He'll give way at third base to Harold Castro in Sunday's series finale, but Candelario still looks like the top option on the depth chart.

Urshela is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Texas, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Urshela started the past three games and will receive Sunday off after going 5-for-12 with a double, a home run, two RBI and three runs scored during that stretch. Jose Miranda will take over at the hot corner in the series finale.

Miranda went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 9-7 loss to the Rangers.

Miranda launched a fourth-inning blast that scored Carlos Correa and Jorge Polanco. It was Miranda's seventh home run of the year and his second in his last four games. The infielder has four total hits and only one strikeout during that span. The outing helped bring his season batting average up to .243.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs and three RBI in a 13-1 win against the Royals on Saturday.

Ramirez was the driving force behind Cleveland's resounding victory with an RBI single in the first inning, two-run homer in the second and double in the fourth. The 29-year-old had been struggling through his first seven games of July with a .160/.222/.280 line and the long ball was his first since June 10. Through 79 games, Ramirez is slashing .291/.372/.585 with 17 homers, 12 stolen bases, 50 runs and 66 RBI.

Devers (back) isn't expected to hit the injured list but won't play until at least Monday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Devers left Friday's game against the Yankees and won't take part in the final two games of the series. Bobby Dalbec will be the third baseman Saturday and could be called on again Sunday, but Devers should have the chance to return for another key divisional matchup Monday against the Rays.

LeMahieu isn't starting Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

LeMahieu led off in the last four games and went 6-for-19 with four runs, two RBI and a stolen base during that time. He'll get a breather while Anthony Rizzo (back) returns to the lineup at first base with Matt Carpenter starting in left field.

Donaldson went 1-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 12-5 win over the Red Sox.

His first-inning blast off Connor Seabold got the ball rolling on another huge night for the Yankees offense. Donaldson has gone deep in three straight games, amassing nine RBI during his power surge, but on the season he still carries a sluggish .231/.318/.412 slash line with nine homers, two steals, 28 runs and 32 RBI through 65 contests.

Bregman went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in an 8-3 victory over the Athletics on Friday.

Bregman helped power his team to victory by plating Yordan Alvarez on his 11th home run of the season. The two-run blast gives Bregman 44 RBI and 46 runs on the season to go along with a .242/.362/.423 slash line. He's posted multiple hits in two of his last four games. Bregman should continue to post quality counting stat numbers as the veteran cleanup hitter knows how to handle the bat and is nestled in-between Alvarez and Kyle Tucker in the productive Astros lineup.
