Candelario is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Candelario gets Sunday off after starting at the hot corner Saturday, with Ryan Kreidler taking over. The rookie Kreidler is seeing more playing time as the 54-85 Tigers look toward the future, so Candelario's fantasy value will likely take a hit down the stretch as he sees his playing time reduced.

LeMahieu (toe) hopes to return to action during the Yankees' homestand that begins Sept. 20, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

LeMahieu landed on the injured list Thursday, and it appears he will miss more than the minimum 10 days. However, he might not be out much beyond that. Gleyber Torres will likely remain the Yankees' primary second baseman until LeMahieu is ready to return.

Segura is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, according to Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Segura has not sat much since returning from the injured list in early August, but he will get a day off after making 18 straight starts. Nick Maton will cover the keystone Sunday for the Phillies.

Henderson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, according to Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun.

Henderson tallied three hits over his last two games, but manager Brandon Hyde decided it was time for his first day off as a big-leaguer. Jesus Aguilar will join the lineup with Henderson opening the game on the bench.

Escobar went 3-for-5 with one double, one homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Marlins.

Escobar gave the Mets the lead with an RBI double in the fourth inning and led off the seventh with a home run off righty reliever Jeff Brigham. The third baseman has been on a great run in his last eight games with a .500 average and 1.496 OPS in 32 plate appearances. After going 18 games without a home run, the 33-year-old has hit four in his last eight games.

Devers went 3-for-5 with a home run and five RBI in Saturday's 17-4 win over Baltimore.

Devers ended a 21-game run without a home run early in the contest, connecting on a first-inning grand slam. His 425-foot no-doubter also lifted the third baseman from a 1-for-13 funk over the last four games, during which he left 12 men on base.

Maton went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Saturday's win over the Nationals.

Maton homered with two out in the fifth off righty reliever Andres Machado to push Philadelphia's lead to four. The 25-year-old has now homered in back to back starts after struggling to find the lineup for most of the season. The utility man has been versatile in his few appearances, spending time at second base during seven games and in the outfield during 13 games.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over Atlanta.

Suarez hit one of two Seattle solo homers off Atlanta starter Max Fried in the contest, launching a 423-foot shot in the sixth inning. The long ball was his third over his past three games and pushed his season total to 28. Suarez went deep 31 times last season but finished below the Mendoza Line with a .198 batting average. He's maintained the power while improving his slash line to .233/.333/.456 in 2022.

Machado went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

The Padres weren't able to muster much offense against their rivals until the ninth inning, but Machado provided some firepower with solo homers off Julio Urias in the third and sixth frames. The All-Star third baseman is up to 28 long balls on the campaign, matching his mark from last season. If he goes deep twice more in the regular season, Machado will notch his sixth career campaign of 30-plus homers, which would be his first since 2019.

Castro went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Cardinals.

Five of Castro's seven homers on the year have come in his last 17 games, including a first-inning solo shot Saturday. In that span, he's hit .242 (15-for-62) with eight RBI, six runs scored, a double, five walks and 25 strikeouts. The infielder is up to a .232/.295/.417 slash line with 13 RBI, 14 runs scored and four stolen bases, and it appears he has the inside lane over Kevin Newman for playing time at second base down the stretch.
