Newman went 2-for-5 with an RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 11-4 win over Cincinnati.

The two steals equal the number he'd totaled over his last 33 starts and give him eight on the year. Newman also broke out of a mini-slump Tuesday -- he had slashed .195/.250/.220 in his prior 45 plate appearances. After batting leadoff exclusively in June, he's hit first in eight July games and seventh in his 15 other starts. Newman's hit .313 with six homers and a surprising .785 OPS in his rookie campaign.

LeMahieu (groin) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

He'll stay on the bench for a third consecutive game while continuing to recover from the low-grade groin strain he sustained over the weekend against the Red Sox. Though the Yankees are labeling him as day-to-day, LeMahieu hasn't been used off the bench in either of the past two games, perhaps suggesting that a trip to the injured list is still under consideration. Gio Urshela will once again cover third base in LeMahieu's stead.

Devers went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Rays.

Devers walked off the field Tuesday with a .332 batting average, tying him for the AL lead with the Yankees' DJ LeMahieu. The 22-year-old third baseman is enjoying a breakout campaign and shows no signs of letting up. Since the beginning of May, Devers is slashing .344/.383/.647 over 75 games.

Moncada exited Tuesday's game against the Mets with right hamstring tightness, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Moncada was able to leave the field under his own power and should be considered day-to-day. According to Van Schouwen, the 24-year-old was receiving attention from the athletic trainer prior to batting practice, so it looks as though he attempted to play through the issue. Ryan Goins has taken over at third base for the White Sox.

Machado went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a 8-5 loss to the Orioles on Tuesday.

Machado increased the San Diego lead to 2-0 with a first-inning shot off Tom Eshelman. It was the 27-year-old's sixth homer in his last 17 games since the All-Star break, and he is 23-for-69 over that stretch. Machado has connected for 26 homers and 67 RBI in 400 at-bats this season, and now holds a .278/.348/.515 slash line.

Candelario is not starting Tuesday against the Angels.

Candelario has gone 3-for-26 at the plate over his last seven games. Harold Castro starts at the hot corner in his absence.

Muncy isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Colorado.

Muncy will head to the bench with a lefty in Kyle Freeland slated to toe the rubber for the opposition. Kris Negron is starting at the keystone and batting seventh with Muncy out of the mix.

Walding was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Tuesday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Walding was booted from the 40-man to make room for Blake Parker, who will be available to pitch for Philadelphia on Tuesday. Walding made a brief appearance in the majors this season, though he struck out in both of his at-bats.

LeMahieu is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

LeMahieu hasn't played since Friday while dealing with a low-grade groin strain. He's been considered day-to-day, but the fact that he's still not ready to go following Monday's scheduled off day is at least mildly concerning. LeMahieu himself doesn't appear to be particularly worried, however, as he expects to be back in action Wednesday, per Lindsey Adler of The Athletic. Gio Urshela starts at third base in his absence.

Segura (lower leg) is starting at shortstop and batting second Tuesday against the Giants.

Segura suffered a bruised right shin during Sunday's matchup, but he benefitted from a scheduled off day Monday and will be right back in the mix for the series opener. He's slashing .281/.323/.444 with 11 homers and 44 RBI over 93 games this season with Philadelphia.
