Miranda is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

Miranda has posted an .884 OPS in June and seems to be hitting his stride after a rough start to his big-league career, but he may have to settle for a part-time role following the recent call-up of Alex Kirilloff from Triple-A St. Paul. The rookie will take a seat against a right-handed starting pitcher (Aaron Civale) for the second time in three games while Kirilloff starts at first base and Gary Sanchez serves as the Twins' designated hitter.

Moncada was placed on the 10-day inured list with a strained right hamstring Monday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The move was made retroactive to Saturday, so Moncada will be eligible to return next Tuesday, but it's not yet clear if he'll have the chance to do so. This is Moncada's second trip to the injured list, as he'd previously missed over a month with an oblique issue. Jake Burger should be the primary third baseman in his absence.

Moncada (hamstring) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Moncada has been diagnosed with a mild hamstring strain and will be unavailable for a third consecutive game. While he's tentatively considered day-to-day, the White Sox are still evaluating whether he'll require a trip to the injured list. If the 27-year-old lands on the IL, Jake Burger, Josh Harrison and Danny Mendick will see additional playing time at third base.

Rivera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Rivera will sit out for the second time in four games and looks to be moving into more of a part-time role while manager Mike Matheny has given Nicky Lopez more opportunities at third base of late. The downturn in playing time comes while Rivera has slashed .163/.212/.224 through his first 15 games of June.

Walls will be on the bench Monday against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls hits the bench after starting 13 games at shortstop. He struggled to a .451 OPS over that stretch, though that wasn't much worse than the .490 OPS he'd managed up to that point. Vidal Brujan will be the shortstop Monday.

Donaldson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to Toronto.

The Yankees hit five homers in the contest, though Donaldson's two-run, third-inning shot was the only one that wasn't of the solo variety. The blast snapped Donaldson's 17-game stretch without a long ball and was his sixth overall this season. The veteran hit 26 home runs with Minnesota last season but is well below that pace through 49 contests with New York in 2022.

Candelario (shoulder) was activated off the injured list as expected Monday.

Candelario wound up missing two weeks with a left shoulder subluxation, but he's good to go after grabbing six hits (including two doubles and a homer) across four rehab games. The Tigers will hope to see more performances like that going forward and fewer of the games which saw him slump to a .181/.236/.319 line prior to the injury.

Candelario (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game at Boston, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Candelario has been sidelined with a left shoulder subluxation since June 5, but he's ready to rejoin the Tigers after going 6-for-16 with a home run and two doubles during a four-game rehab stint with Triple-A Toledo. The 28-year-old has an awful .555 OPS through 52 games this season, but perhaps he'll reward patient fantasy managers and continue the strong performance from the rehab assignment upon his return to the big-league club.

Moncada (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Moncada suffered an injury to his right hamstring Friday and sat out Saturday while undergoing an MRI, though the imaging results have yet to be disclosed. The 27-year-old should continue to be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status, while Jake Burger receives another start at the hot corner for Chicago.

Duffy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Duffy started the past five games and will take a seat after going 3-for-20 with an RBI, a run and five strikeouts. The 31-year-old should continue to see increased playing time with Anthony Rendon (wrist) out for the season, though Tyler Wade, who is starting at third base Sunday, could take on a larger role should Duffy's offensive struggles persist.
