Devers (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day disabled list and will bat eighth and play third base Wednesday against Toronto, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Devers ended up missing the minimum amount of time with a hamstring strain, as expected. Prior to the injury, Devers had gone 8-for-27 in seven games since the All-Star break. His return will bump Eduardo Nunez from third base, leaving him to fight for playing time with Brock Holt at second.

Duffy went 2-for-4 with a run in a win over the Orioles on Tuesday.

Duffy produced a pedestrian .250 average in July after an outstanding first three-plus months of the season, but he looks to be heating back up as August unfolds. Factoring in Tuesday's production, the 27-year-old has hit safely in five of the first six games of the month, and eight of his last nine overall. What's largely been missing this season has been power, as Duffy has only four home runs and hasn't gone deep since June 16.

Moncada went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Yankees.

Moncada has whiffed 20 times in his last 32 at-bats, including seven times in his last nine. He leads all of baseball with 161 strikeouts and has a 34.5 strikeout percentage. "At some point you hit a point of frustration where you say, 'I have to start swinging at pitches,'' manager Rick Renteria told the Chicago Sun-Times' Daryl Van Schouwen. "I think he's finally reached that point.'' Moncada's average has dropped to .217.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with a home run, double and three RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Angels.

Candelario got the Tigers on the board early with an RBI ground-rule double in the first inning, then later deposited a two-run shot in the fifth. The 24-year-old suffered through a difficult June and July -- hitting below .200 in both months -- but he's gotten off to a better start since the calendar flipped to August. In 23 at-bats in the month, he's hitting .261/.320/.435 with a pair of extra-base hits and four RBI.

Devers (hamstring) will be activated off the 10-day disabled list Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Devers will rejoin the Red Sox in Toronto for Wednesday's game after a short stint on the disabled list. The 21-year-old should make his return to the starting lineup as he was showing progress prior to landing on the shelf, going 7-for-19 in five games.

Segura will take a seat Tuesday against the the Rangers, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

The rest will be Segura's first since late June. In 35 games since his last day off, he's hit a modest .243/.282/.321, a stark contrast to the .334/.329/.480 line he posted through his first 71 games. Those two sections of the season are separated by a forearm infection which cost Segura four games. It's not inconceivable that the issue is having lingering effects. Andrew Romine will be the Mariners' shortstop Tuesday.

Lewis went 4-for-6 with a pair of home runs and five RBI for High-A Fort Myers in its 13-0 win over Lakeland on Monday.

Lewis' stat line is notable even without context, but it's rendered even more impressive in that two of his hits -- including the first of his two long balls -- came off Casey Mize, the Tigers' top pitching prospect and the 2018 No. 1 overall pick. The shortstop has turned in multi-hit efforts in five of his last 10 games and is hitting .329/.418/.506 with three home runs and four steals through his first 21 games in the Florida State League.

Chapman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a win over the Tigers on Sunday.

Chapman continued blasting the cover off the ball after having laced a three-bagger and solo homer in Saturday's contest. The infielder has hit safely in five straight games overall, and factoring in his production in the shutout win, he's now raised his average 43 points to .271 since May 31.

Devers (hamstring) is expected to join the Red Sox in Toronto and be activated off the disabled list when eligible Wednesday, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

Devers will suit up for short-season Lowell on Monday. If all goes well, he'll fly to Toronto to rejoin his Red Sox teammates. He had been hitting .292 with an .827 OPS in his last 19 games before getting hurt.

Segura went 2-for-4 with a run scored and stolen base Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Segura has gone just 8-for-40 across his last 10 games but managed to steal his 16th base of the season. It was only his second save since June -- he's been caught four times -- though he is still ninth in the American League for the season. He's remained in his customary second spot in the Mariners lineup, so even with a pedestrian .338 on-base percentage, he should have run-scoring upside.
