Madrigal isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Madrigal will get a breather after he went hitless with a walk in three at-bats Tuesday. Danny Mendick will start at second base and bat ninth.

LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rangers.

The Yankees' leadoff man established a new season high in RBI after plating a pair of runs on a fourth-inning double and scoring another on a sixth-inning sacrifice fly. LeMahieu has been running hot over the Yankees' last five games, going 7-for-19 with a 3:3 BB:K, four runs and four RBI.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs scored and two RBI on Tuesday against the Mariners.

Candelario took Justin Dunn yard in his first at-bat of the game to record his fourth home run of the season. He remained productive for the remainder of the contest, driving in a run in the third inning while also racking up his seventh double and subsequently coming around to score in the eighth frame. Candelario is riding a four-game hitting streak and has maintained a .291/.367/.419 line with 15 RBI and 21 runs scored across 40 games for the campaign.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Angels.

Ramirez opened up the scoring in a five-run first inning with a two-run blast off Andrew Heaney for his 12th homer of the year. The 28-year-old has historically been a player who starts off slow and finds his groove as the season goes on, but he's been very solid through the first six weeks of the season with a slash line of .264/.349/.583. His 12 long balls are tied for second in baseball as he's also got 27 runs scored, 25 RBI, four stolen bases and an 18:21 BB:K.

Rendon went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 7-4 win over Cleveland.

Rendon entered Monday's game in a 1-for-11 skid since he was activated off the injured list but knocked three singles against Cleveland. He raised his season slash line to .274/.349/.425 with 12 RBI through 83 plate appearances. It was his first multi-hit game since May 1.

Donaldson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 16-4 loss to the White Sox.

The Twins were already down 14-1 when Donaldson took Dallas Keuchel deep in the sixth inning. The veteran third baseman is one of the few Minnesota players performing up to expectations so far this season, hitting .274 with five homers and 16 RBI through 28 games.

Madrigal went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 16-4 rout of the Twins.

He took J.A. Happ deep in the third inning, giving the light-hitting second baseman the first homer of his career. Madrigal came into Monday mired in a miserable May, slashing .200/.200/.220 through 12 games, but this performance could signal the start of a hot streak.

Candelario (knee) will bat third and play third base Monday against the Mariners, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Candelario left Saturday's game against the Cubs after getting hit in the knee by a pitch. He didn't play in Sunday's contest but is ready to go again following a day off.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and two strikeouts in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Angels.

Devers capped off a four-run rally in the fifth inning Sunday with his second home run in as many games to put the Red Sox in the lead. The 24-year-old is now slashing .278/.354/.583 with 11 home runs, 34 RBI and 26 runs this season.

Chapman went 3-for-4 with three RBI in Sunday's 7-6 win over Minnesota.

Chapman opened the game's scoring with his RBI single in the second inning. He later plated runs in the fifth and seventh innings on a sacrifice fly and another base knock. The slugging third baseman has just two multi-hit games this month, both coming in his last seven appearances. Chapman is slashing .225/.327/.387 with 18 RBI through 42 games.
