MLB Player News

Newman is not in the lineup Sunday against the Cubs, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Newman is 4-for-34 across his past nine games and will head to the bench Sunday. Cole Tucker will start at shortstop and bat seventh in his place for the series finale at Chicago.

Hayes (hand) is starting at third base and batting leadoff Sunday against the Cubs, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

A trip to the injured list was being considered given Hayes sat out the past five games with a bruised right hand, but he'll rejoin the lineup Sunday while making the first start of his MLB career at the top of the order. The 24-year-old is hitting .223/.291/.319 in 26 games since the start of August and will attempt to get back on track following the absence.

Rivera is on the bench for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Rivera went 1-for-4 with a double Saturday and is now hitting .242 with three doubles and two RBI in his last 10 games. Adalberto Mondesi is playing third base Sunday while Carlos Santana occupies the DH spot.

Moncada (wrist) is batting second and playing third base Sunday against the Royals, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Wrist pain kept Moncada on the bench Saturday but he's back in action for Sunday's series finale. The switch-hitting third baseman has hit .350 with three doubles and three RBI in his last 10 games.

Segura is out of the lineup Sunday at Miami, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Segura started the past 26 games at the keystone for Philadelphia and will take a seat Sunday despite having an .886 OPS in the past nine contests. Freddy Galvis will take over at second base in the series finale versus the Marlins.

Ramirez is not in the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox.

Ramirez started the past 27 games and will receive a well-deserved day off in the series finale at Boston after posting a 1.000 OPS during that stretch. Owen Miller will take over at the hot corner Sunday for Cleveland.

Kieboom went 4-for-8 with a double, three runs scored and an RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader split with the Mets.

The young third baseman has caught fire over the last week, batting .348 (8-for-23) over his last six games with two homers, four RBI and six runs. The hot streak has pushed Kieboom's slash line on the year up to .248/.344/.419, and a big September would go a long way toward locking him into the starting job at the hot corner for 2022 and beyond.

Urshela (hand) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Urshela hasn't played since Tuesday, when he injured his hand during a defensive play. Even with expanded rosters, the Yankees must expect him back soon, considering they haven't placed him on the injured list. Rougned Odor is playing third base and batting eighth Sunday.

Devers isn't in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against Cleveland.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Saturday and is now hitting .273 with four home runs and nine RBI in his last 10 games. Bobby Dalbec is starting at third base Sunday, with Travis Shaw getting the nod at first.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Boston.

The 28-year-old reached the 20-steal mark for the fourth time in his nine-year career when he stole second in the sixth inning. Ramirez has been one of Cleveland's most productive players this year, adding 32 home runs, 86 RBI, 90 runs scored and a .260/.349/.549 slash line through 524 plate appearances. He'll likely remain in his usual No. 3 spot in the order, as he's started in 27 straight games -- the elbow soreness that bothered him in late July seems to be behind him now.
