Donaldson (hamstring) isn't starting Saturday against the Cardinals.

Donaldson was scratched from Friday's lineup due to minor right hamstring tightness, and he'll be unable to return after he was re-evaluated Saturday. He should still be considered day-to-day, while Luis Arraez (knee) will return to the lineup at the hot corner and bat fourth.

Duffy isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.

Duffy will get a day off after he went 1-for-11 with a run, a walk and two strikeouts while drawing starts in each of the last three games. David Bote will shift to third base while Andrew Romine enters the lineup at shortstop.

Urshela (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

It's Urshela's second straight day on the bench as he deals with a hamstring injury, but his appearance as a pinch hitter Friday suggests he's close returning to the lineup. Tyler Wade is playing third base and batting eighth Saturday.

LeMahieu (triceps) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

The infielder is omitted from the lineup for a second straight day as he deals with a minor triceps issue, although he did enter Friday's contest as a pinch hitter. LeMahieu figures to be available off the bench Saturday as well, but it's unclear when he'll be back in the lineup. Rougned Odor is starting at second base and batting sixth.

Segura (knee) is batting leadoff and playing second base Saturday against the Pirates.

The infielder, hitting .236 with two home runs and seven RBI 14 games since the All-Star break, returns to action after missing Friday's contest with a minor knee issue.

McMahon went 3-for-3 with a grand slam, an additional run scored and two walks in Friday's win over the Padres.

McMahon made his presence felt in the first inning, as he launched a bases-loaded blast off Ryan Weathers that set the tone for the rest of the game. The third baseman has hit safely in all but one of his last 10 games and is hitting an impressive .361 with a 1.017 OPS in that span.

Machado went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in Friday's loss to Colorado.

Machado produced nearly all of San Diego's offense in the loss, as he collected half of the team's hits and drove in all four of its runs. The multi-homer game was Machado's second of the season, both of which have come in July. On the month, he is slashing .360/.430/.744 with eight homers, 25 RBI and an 11:13 BB:K over 24 games.

LeMahieu (triceps) singled in his only at-bat during Friday's 3-1 win over Miami.

The infielder was kept out of the starting nine due to the triceps issue, but manager Aaron Boone called on him to enter the game defensively after Gleyber Torres was ejected in the seventh inning. LeMahieu played the remainder of the contest and contributed an infield single in the ninth inning. Given his ability to finish off the game, it's unlikely that LeMahieu will miss much more time.

Urshela (hamstring) singled in his only at-bat during Friday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.

The hamstring issue kept Urshela out of the starting lineup, but it is certainly a positive that he was healthy enough to enter the game as a pinch hitter. Urshela singled to right in the eighth inning and was immediately replaced on the basepaths by Nestor Cortes. It's unclear how long the Yankees plan to hold him from the starting nine, but it appears that Urshela will be available to hit off the bench in the meantime.

Arenado (forearm) went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a win over the Twins on Friday.

The veteran slugger was thought to have a good chance of not missing any additional time beyond his early exit from Wednesday's game after getting plunked in the forearm, and that ultimately proved correct. Arenado is wrapping up July wielding a hot bat, as Friday's production pushed his slash line over the last nine contests to an outstanding .324/.410/.676 across 39 plate appearances.
