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

Candelario will exit the lineup for the first time since June 26, ending a streak of 73 consecutive starts. Though he doesn't stand out in any one counting-stats category except for doubles (41), Candelario's status as one of the game's top ironmen in 2021 has made him a useful compiler for fantasy managers. Across 588 plate appearances, Candelario has delivered a solid .273 average to go with 16 home runs, 72 runs and 65 RBI.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, a walk and a strikeout in 3-2 win over the Angels on Sunday.

Chapman doubled in the second inning, homered in the fourth and walked in the 10th to reach base three times for the second time this weekend. Despite a slow September thus far, Chapman had a strong series against Los Angeles, going 4-for-11 with three walks.

Ramirez went 4-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and four runs scored in Sunday's 11-1 win over the Yankees.

It was a perfect day at the dish for the third baseman, and his teammates were efficient in getting him around the bases when he got aboard. Ramirez has gone 10-for-17 (.588) with two homers, seven RBI and 10 runs scored in his last five games. The 29-year-old is up to a .265/.357/.552 slash line with 35 long balls, 94 RBI, 103 runs scored and 24 stolen bases through 575 plate appearances overall.

Urshela went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-1 loss to Cleveland.

The infielder got the Yankees on the board in the third inning, but that was their only run of the game. Urshela has posted three multi-hit efforts in his last six games, going 8-for-22 (.364) in that span. He's up to a .261/.297/.418 slash line with 13 homers, 46 RBI, 35 runs scored and a stolen base through 397 plate appearances overall.

Urias (upper leg) was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Urias has battled the upper leg injury over the past few weeks and was scratched from Sunday's lineup after the injury flared up while going through warmups. Richie Martin will start at shortstop while Pat Valaika shifts to the keystone.

Walls (illness) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to an illness, and he'll remain on the bench for Sunday's contest. The 25-year-old is apparently dealing with a non-COVID-19 illness and should be considered day-to-day. Joey Wendle will remain at shortstop while Yandy Diaz starts at the hot corner.

Paredes was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The 22-year-old has been in the minors during the past month after recovering from a hip injury, and he'll rejoin the Tigers on Sunday with Derek Hill (knee) and Gregory Soto (finger) heading to the injured list.

Devers went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and an RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win over Baltimore.

Devers got the Red Sox on the board in the first inning, singling home Enrique Hernandez to cut the Orioles' lead to 2-1. He later added a double and another single for his first multi-hit game in nearly two weeks. Devers has gone yard just twice in his last 18 games, but he's still slashing a terrific .274/.351/.532 with 34 homers and 104 RBI in 612 plate appearances on the year.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, three runs scored and a pair of walks in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Yankees.

Ramirez put the finishing touches on Cleveland's offensive outburst, taking Andrew Heaney deep to left field in the eighth inning to make it an 11-1 game. It was the 34th long ball of the year for Ramirez, who is nine RBI away from reaching the century mark for the second time in his career. The 29-year-old superstar has put together hits in four consecutive games, going 6-for-13 (.462) during that stretch.

Donaldson went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

Donaldson homered yet again off the Blue Jays on Saturday, taking Steven Matz deep in the first inning to give the Twins a 2-0 lead. The 35-year-old will have plenty more opportunities to enact revenge against his former team this season, as Minnesota and Toronto will meet five more times before the year is out.
