LeMahieu isn't starting Monday against the Orioles.

LeMahieu started in the last four matchups, but he'll get a chance to reset after he went 0-for-8 over the last two games. Gleyber Torres will start at second base and bat cleanup.

The Orioles promoted Prieto from High-A Aberdeen to Double-A Bowie on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

A two-week stint on the injured list earlier this season wasn't able to derail Prieto, who moves up to Bowie after slashing .340/.381/.619 across 105 plate appearances in 25 games with Aberdeen. The 23-year-old infielder showed impressive contact skills, as he struck out in only 15.2 percent of his plate appearances.

Donaldson isn't starting in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Donaldson will get a chance to reset after he went 0-for-4 in Sunday's matinee. DJ LeMahieu will shift to third base while Gleyber Torres starts at the keystone.

Duffy (face) is starting at first base and batting cleanup Sunday against Oakland, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The 31-year-old hasn't been in the lineup since suffering a facial laceration Tuesday, but he'll enter the lineup Sunday with lefty Cole Irvin pitching for the A's. Duffy also spent the first half of May on the COVID-19 injured list, and he's 0-for-8 with three strikeouts in four games since his activation.

Nevin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

With Ryan Mountcastle making his way back from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Nevin's time as a regular in the Baltimore lineup looks to be over. He started each of Baltimore's last 14 games at either a corner-infield or corner-outfield spot, slashing .245/.309/.327 during that stretch. Nevin's ability to play four defensive positions and serve as an option at designated hitter still gives him avenues to playing time when one of the Baltimore regulars need a rest, but he'll likely have to settle for more of a part-time role while the team is back to full strength.

Moncada (leg) will start at third base and bat leadoff in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

The 26-year-old was originally absent from the lineup but will end up starting with Tim Anderson (undisclosed) being a late scratch. Moncada was scratched Saturday due to a leg injury but made an appearance off the bench, and his return to the lineup Sunday confirms the injury isn't a serious issue.

Moncada (leg) is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

Moncada was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to a leg injury and will remain out of the starting nine for Sunday's matinee. However, the 26-year-old entered as a pinch hitter and remained in the game defensively Saturday, so he could be in the lineup for Game 2 of the twin bill.

Toro was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a sprained left shoulder.

Toto presumably sustained the injury during Saturday's matchup with Boston, when he went 1-for-2 before exiting during the third inning. It's unclear exactly how long the 25-year-old is expected to be sidelined, but he'll be eligible to be activated June 1. Dylan Moore is likely to see more playing time while Toro is on the shelf.

Urshela is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Kansas City, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Urshela has a .170/.242/.340 slash line through 16 games in May and will head to the bench Sunday. Jose Miranda will start at the hot corner in his place.

Moncada (leg) went 0-for-1 in Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Moncada was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to a leg issue that first popped up Thursday. However, he entered the game as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and remained in the contest to man third base. While it's unclear if Moncada will be in the lineup Sunday, the appearance seemingly indicates that he will avoid a stint on the injured list.
