Urshela went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over Baltimore.

Urshela knocked in Aaron Judge with a double in the fourth inning and subsequently came around to score on a double by Gary Sanchez. The three-hit performance was his third straight in the series sweep of Baltimore in which Urshela went 9-for-14 while scoring five runs. Though his 356 plate appearances do not yet qualify for the batting title, he could challenge for the crown if he continues to start regularly the remainder of the season.

Moncada (hamstring) executed some running exercises prior to Tuesday's doubleheader, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Manager Rick Renteria could not provide an update on a return for the injured third baseman. "He continues to improve but I really don't have a window for you today," Renteria said. Moncada has been out since July 31. At that time, the team speculated he might require a two-week stay on the IL, but it looks like his return will take longer.

LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk during an 8-3 victory against the Orioles on Tuesday.

It wasn't a great night for the average, but LeMahieu added to his career-high mark in homers with a long ball to lead off the bottom of the first. LeMahieu should blow away his high-water marks in the home run and RBI categories and has a chance to set a new career high in runs as well. He also has firm control of the AL batting title race. LeMahieu is batting .337 with 19 home runs, 81 RBI, 84 runs and four steals in 442 at-bats this season.

Devers went 6-for-6 with four doubles, one run scored and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Indians. He was also caught stealing.

Devers got off to a rough start in August as he went 2-for-21 through his first five games, but over his last seven contests he's 14-for-32 with six doubles, two home runs and seven RBI. The 22-year-old is enjoying a breakout campaign with a .325/.373/.574 slash line, 43 doubles and 24 homers in 527 plate appearances.

Bregman has a sore shoulder and is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Bregman was expected to start the nightcap after sitting out Game 1, but he'll instead remain on the bench to nurse the shoulder issue. The 25-year-old sustained the injury Sunday against the Orioles when he was hit by a pitch. The injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern, as manager AJ Hinch hopes Bregman can return to the starting nine Wednesday, according to Jake Kaplan of The Athletic. Aledmys Diaz will remain in the lineup at the hot corner in his absence.

Reyes was promoted to Double-A Bowie on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

The 22-year-old corner infielder has languished at High-A Frederick for four years in a row. He hit .283/.320/.406 with eight home runs in 100 games this year, but his 73:11 K:BB leaves a lot to be desired, and he's still not accessing his plus raw power consistently in games.

Bregman is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

The 25-year-old has been hot recently, going 11-for-26 with one homer and six RBI over his past seven games, but he will get a breather for the first game of Tuesday's twin bill. Aledmys Diaz is starting at third base, batting seventh.

Duffy went 4-for-4 with three RBI from a pair of run-scoring singles and also drew a walk in a win over the Padres on Monday.

Duffy's perfect night at the plate pushed his average to .298 and served as his second multi-hit effort over the last three games. The veteran infielder is making good use of his opportunities after enduring another extended battle with nagging injuries, and with Yandy Diaz (foot) projected out for the remainder of the season, Duffy's playing time at third base should be locked in.

Urshela went 6-for-9 with a home run, a double and two RBI while crossing the plate four times in a pair of victories over Baltimore on Monday.

Urshela collected a pair of three-hit games in the doubleheader and has now racked up nine multi-hit performances during his current 15-game on-base streak. He has been on an otherworldly tear in August, slashing .476/.522/1.071 with seven homers, 14 RBI and 15 runs scored in 11 games. Needless to say, the 27-year-old has been one of the most pleasant surprises in baseball this season after hitting only .225 in 466 career at-bats prior to 2019.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a double in Monday's 6-5 win over Boston.

Ramirez gave Cleveland a 5-1 lead with his three-run homer in the third frame. He's up to 17 on the year with 12 coming since the start of July. The 26-year-old switch-hitter has improved his OPS from .634 to a respectable .767 during that span.
