Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

He'll give way to Sergio Alcantara at third base in the series finale after starting in five of the previous seven contests. Since his Aug. 17 callup, Paredes is slashing .179/.236/.269 over his first 72 plate appearances in the big leagues.

Urshela went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and three runs in a 20-6 victory over the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Urshela returned to the starting nine after a minimum stay on the 10-day IL and demonstrated little rust, notching his second three-hit performance of the season. It was technically his fourth straight multi-hit game, though there was a 12-day pause since his previous contest due to the injury. Urshela is hitting a healthy .290/.376/.542 on the season.

LeMahieu went 4-for-6 with two doubles, a home run, three runs scored and five RBI in Tuesday's 20-6 rout of the Blue Jays.

His eighth-inning solo shot came off shortstop Santiago Espinal, who got pressed into duty on the mound to save the Toronto bullpen, but it still counts all the same for LeMahieu. The 32-year-old extended his hitting streak to eight games with the performance, during which he's slashing .364/.447/.758 with three homers, seven RBI and 11 runs.

Candelario went 3-for-5 with two runs scored during Tuesday's 6-0 victory over the Royals.

Candelario stranded four men on base, but nonetheless had a productive outing. He has raked over his last 15 games, slashing .404/.483/.673 with three home runs. He improved his average to .333 for the season.

Chapman underwent successful surgery to repair a torn right hip labrum and has a four-month recovery timeline, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The 27-year-old finishes 2020 with a .232/.276/.535 slash line, 10 homers and 25 RBI in 37 games. If all goes well in his recovery, Chapman should be healthy for the start of spring training in February, though any minor setbacks could bring a delayed arrival to camp. Jake Lamb is likely to see the bulk of the time at third base for the A's since Chad Pinder (hamstring) is also sidelined.

Reynolds cleared waivers Tuesday and was outrighted to the Royals' alternate training site.

Reynolds was designated for assignment Saturday, but he'll remain in the organization after failing to secure a spot on another 40-man roster. The 29-year-old went 0-for-11 during his four days on the major-league roster this year.

Urshela (elbow) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Urshela was sidelined with a bone spur in his right elbow, but he spent the minimum amount of time on the injured list. He participated in a simulated game Monday and will now be available to return to game action. Urshela should resume his role as the Yankees' primary third baseman going forward.

Urshela (elbow) is expected to return Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Urshela has served the required 10 days on the injured list while he recovers from a bone spur in his right elbow. He participated in a simulated game Monday and should be able to follow that up with a real game Tuesday.

Moncada went 3-for-4 with a double and one RBI in Sunday's 5-2 win over Detroit.

Moncada got the White Sox on the board with his RBI double in the second inning. The 25-year-old has three multi-hit performances in the last four games, bringing his average from .237 to .258 during that span.

The Yankees could activate Urshela (elbow) from the 10-day injured list as soon as Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Urshela reported to the Yankees' alternate training site in Moosic, Pa. this weekend and has been getting in at-bats in simulated games as he prepares for a return to the big-league roster. The Yankees will presumably check back in on Urshela during Monday's off day, and if the team's medical staff determines that he's good to go after battling a bone spur in his right elbow, he'll slot back in as team's everyday third baseman right away. Before getting hurt, Urshela had more or less repeated his 2019 breakout, posting an .873 OPS over 120 plate appearances.
