Urshela (hand) will start at third base and bat ninth Monday against the Blue Jays.

He'll check back into the starting nine for the first time since last Tuesday after a sore left hand kept him out of the lineup for each of the previous four games. Urshela was able to make a cameo off the bench in Sunday's 8-7 loss to Baltimore as a pinch hitter, which was apparently enough to convince the Yankees that he was ready to return to an everyday role in the field. With Urshela back in the fold, Rougned Odor is expected to move back into a utility role.

Rivera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Rivera will sit for the third time in four games and looks to have lost out on reps as a result of Adalberto Mondesi's return from the injured list Sept. 1 in addition to the promotion of outfielder Edward Olivares on Aug. 27. Given that Rivera has delivered a modest .649 OPS in 98 plate appearances with the big club this season, he may not have a strong case for recapturing a full-time role in September.

Moncada went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Royals.

Moncada, who sat out Saturday due to wrist soreness, saw an end to a 17-game hit streak with Sunday's 0-fer. However, manager Tony La Russa told Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times that the league will be asked to review a play and perhaps take an error away from Kansas City second baseman Whit Merrifield.

Toro went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs, two RBI, a strikeout, a stolen base and a caught stealing in a 10-4 extra-innings triumph over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Toro recorded an RBI fielder's choice and was caught stealing second in the fourth inning, doubled and scored in the seventh, stole second after hitting into another fielder's choice in the ninth, and knocked an RBI single before scoring in the 11th. The infielder has now posted consecutive multi-hit games while the theft was his first since July 28. He appears to have entrenched himself as Seattle's regular second baseman, at least for the remainder of the season.

Urias left Sunday's win over the Yankees due to upper leg soreness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Urias missed several games in mid-August due to upper leg soreness, and the issue apparently flared up in Sunday's series finale. Prior to his departure, the 27-year-old went 1-for-2 with a run and a walk. It's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time due to his current injury.

Rivera is on the bench for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Rivera went 1-for-4 with a double Saturday and is now hitting .242 with three doubles and two RBI in his last 10 games. Adalberto Mondesi is playing third base Sunday while Carlos Santana occupies the DH spot.

Moncada (wrist) is batting second and playing third base Sunday against the Royals, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Wrist pain kept Moncada on the bench Saturday but he's back in action for Sunday's series finale. The switch-hitting third baseman has hit .350 with three doubles and three RBI in his last 10 games.

Ramirez is not in the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox.

Ramirez started the past 27 games and will receive a well-deserved day off in the series finale at Boston after posting a 1.000 OPS during that stretch. Owen Miller will take over at the hot corner Sunday for Cleveland.

Urshela (hand) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Urshela hasn't played since Tuesday, when he injured his hand during a defensive play. Even with expanded rosters, the Yankees must expect him back soon, considering they haven't placed him on the injured list. Rougned Odor is playing third base and batting eighth Sunday.

Devers isn't in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against Cleveland.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Saturday and is now hitting .273 with four home runs and nine RBI in his last 10 games. Bobby Dalbec is starting at third base Sunday, with Travis Shaw getting the nod at first.
