Madrigal was diagnosed with a separated left shoulder and will be placed on the 10-day injured list, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The 23-year-old suffered the injury Tuesday as his left arm was jammed into the ground on a feet-first slide attempt. Madrigal is expected to be sidelined for at least a few weeks, but the White Sox hope he'll be able to return by the end of August. Tim Anderson (groin) is also on the IL, leaving Leury Garcia and Danny Mendick as the top options to work in the middle infield.

Urshela will sit for the first half of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

The Yankees are able to rest several players given the expanded rosters this season. Miguel Andujar starts at the hot corner for Game 1 of the doubleheader, but there's a good chance Urshela will be in the lineup for Game 2.

Donaldson (calf) will sit for the fifth straight game Wednesday against the PIrates.

Donaldson has been on the shelf with right calf tightness since leaving Friday's game against Cleveland due to the injury. The issue is apparently not too serious, but the veteran has had calf issues in the past, and the Twins can afford to be quite cautious due to the expanded playoffs and their 9-2 start. Ehire Adrianza will be the third baseman in this one, with Marwin Gonzalez shifting over to first base.

Bregman went 1-for-5 in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Bregman didn't have a standout performance Tuesday, but he managed to extend his hitting streak to four games. He has gone 5-for-20 (.250) with one home run, one double, two RBI and two runs scored during that stretch.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

Chapman lifted his second homer of the year against Rangers starter Lance Lynn in the seventh inning. The third baseman then got aboard with a single and scored on Stephen Piscotty's walk-off grand slam in the ninth. Chapman has posted four RBI and five runs scored with a .222/.255/.422 triple-slash line in 11 games this year, but it appears he's heating up with hits in three straight contests.

Madrigal exited Tuesday's game against the Brewers with a left shoulder injury.

The 23-year-old was thrown out attempting to go first-to-third on a single up the middle during the third inning, and his left arm was jammed awkwardly into the ground on his feet-first slide. Madrigal will be further examined Wednesday and should be considered day-to-day until more is known on the injury.

Madrigal was removed from Tuesday's game at Milwaukee with an apparent left wrist injury, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The 23-year-old collected a hit during his first at-bat Tuesday, but he hurt himself sliding into third base as he mistakenly decided to test the arm of Avisail Garcia by going first-to-third on a hit up the middle. Madrigal appeared to be in considerable pain and was cradling his wrist as he walked off the field, which is the same wrist he fractured in early 2018. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but he seems likely to be sidelined for at least a few days.

Urshela went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a win over Philadelphia on Monday.

Urshela struck out twice in the contest, but he more than made up for the whiffs with a three-run shot in the sixth inning to break the game open. The 28-year-old has followed a breakout 2019 campaign with a strong start this season, slashing .300/.400/.667 with three homers and nine RBI through 35 plate appearances.

LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over Philadelphia on Monday.

LeMahieu got the Yankees off to a quick start with a solo home run leading off the bottom of the first inning. He also notched an infield single in the fifth inning to register his fourth multi-hit game of the campaign. LeMahieu is batting a tidy .412/.429/.618 with two homers and five RBI in eight games this season.

Donaldson (calf) remains sidelined Tuesday against the Pirates.

Donaldson is set to miss his fourth straight game after leaving Friday's game against Cleveland due to a tight calf. Marwin Gonzalez remains the third baseman in his absence. Donaldson is expected to travel with the Twins on their upcoming road trip, which begins Wednesday, though it remains unclear exactly when he'll return to the lineup.
