Rendon will sit Tuesday against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

This appears to be just a routine day off for Rendon. He got off to a slow start at the plate this season but has hit .361/.425/.556 over his last 10 games. Matt Duffy will start at third base.

LeMahieu was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against Baltimore due to left wrist discomfort.

As long as the issue remains nothing worse than discomfort, LeMahieu should be able to return within a few days, though it's of course always possible the injury turns out to be something worse than initially reported. With Josh Donaldson on the COVID-19 injured list, the Yankees are suddenly quite thin at the hot corner, leaving starts available for Marwin Gonzalez and Miguel Andujar.

LeMahieu was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles for undisclosed reasons.

LeMahieu was on the bench Monday but was originally supposed to lead off and play third base Tuesday. Aaron Hicks will jump up into the leadoff spot in his absence, while Marwin Gonzalez enters the lineup at the hot corner. Whether LeMahieu is dealing with anything which could develop into a long-term absence is not yet clear.

Gelof owns a .318/.374/.465 slash line with 14 extra-base hits and 25 RBI across 171 plate appearances with Double-A Midland.

The 22-year-old was running much hotter just a week ago, as he's currently mired in an 0-for-20 slump. The fact his numbers remain as impressive as they are despite the funk is a testament to how effective he's been at the plate. Gelof had a brief three-game stint with Triple-A Las Vegas last season in which he went 7-for-12 with a double and six RBI, and given how well his season with the RockHounds is going, it may not be long before he bumps up for another go-around with the Aviators.

Burger was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Burger will join the roster in place of Luis Robert, who landed on the COVID-19 injured list. He could have a path to playing time at the designated hitter spot if AJ Pollock shifts to center field to cover for Robert, leaving the outfield corners open for Andrew Vaughn and Gavin Sheets, though he could be stuck on the bench if the White Sox prefer better defense from their outfield trio. Burger spent the first month of the season on the active roster while Yoan Moncada was out with an oblique injury and didn't particularly impress, hitting .239/.276/.352 with a 35.1 percent strikeout rate in 21 games.

Madrigal (back) took part in hitting, fielding, running and throwing drills during an on-field workout Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Fellow injured middle infielder Nico Hoerner (ankle) also performed the same activities, as both look to be at similar spots in their respective rehab programs. Madrigal and Hoerner could both be ready to begin minor-league rehab assignments later this week before potentially returning from the 10-day injured list by the end of the month. Though both Madrigal and Hoerner handled everyday roles for the Cubs prior to hitting the shelf, the two may have to fend off Andrelton Simmons and Jonathan Villar for starts in the middle infield once they're back from the IL.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a win over the Athletics on Monday.

Suarez put the final runs of the night on the board for the Mariners with a 374-foot shot to left that plated Julio Rodriguez in the fifth inning. The veteran has hit safely in eight straight games and 10 of the last 11 overall, and he's now gone deep in back-to-back contests.

Farmer (general soreness) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Farmer will take a seat for the second game in a row due to the injury, which is believed to be a minor concern. Matt Reynolds will replace Farmer at shortstop Tuesday and bat ninth for Cincinnati.

Arenado went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 7-3 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.

Arenado entered Monday in a small skid, having gone 1-for-15 in his last four games. He changed that up with a multi-hit effort, his 12th such game this season. The third baseman was also caught stealing on his first attempt at a stolen base this year. He's slashing .294/.353/.556 with nine home runs, 32 RBI, 20 runs scored and 13 doubles through 41 contests overall.

Segura went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.

The steal was Segura's sixth of the year, but five of them have come in his last 11 games. The veteran infielder is slashing a blistering .357/.400/.557 through 19 games in May with four homers, 12 runs and 12 RBI in addition to his recent production on the basepaths.
