Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Muncy has made three starts against left-handed pitchers this season but will take a seat Sunday versus Chicago southpaw Shota Imanaga. Miguel Rojas will man the hot corner and bat ninth.

Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Urias finds himself on the bench for the second straight day, though he's still started five of Baltimore's first nine games this season. Jordan Westburg will again move to third base while Jorge Mateo handles the keystone.

Newman signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on March 28.

Newman opted out of his minor-league deal with Arizona on March 27 after missing the Opening Day roster, but he re-signed with the organization a day later. The 30-year-old could receive a look in the big leagues since Geraldo Perdomo (knee) is soon heading to the injured list and top prospect Jordan Lawlar is out multiple months after thumb surgery.

Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in Saturday's 2-1 win against Boston.

Pitching was prevalent in the contest, as the teams combined for just three runs and nine hits. Rengifo had two of the Angels' six knocks, and his legs were critical in the lone inning during which the team scored, as he beat out a two-out grounder for an infield single, stole second base and eventually crossed the plate on a Rafael Devers error. Rengifo appears to be fully recovered after departing early from Wednesday's contest against Miami as a result of feeling lightheaded and subsequently sitting out Friday's series opener against the Red Sox.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's win over the Cubs.

Muncy doubled to lead off the top of the fourth but was left stranded. However, he got the Dodgers on the board in the next inning with a two-run single, scoring Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernandez. The third baseman was just 2-for-15 at the plate this month coming in, though Saturday did mark his third two-hit game of the season. Muncy has also struck out multiple times in five consecutive games and in all but two games so far during the campaign.

Candelario started at third base and went 1-for-3 with a walk, double and run scored in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Mets.

Candelario, who sustained a sore elbow Thursday, has not missed any time because of it. He started at designated hitter Friday then returned to the field Saturday. Candelario's batting just .200 through 30 at-bats, but he's hit safely in six of eight games played.

McMahon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Saturday against the Rays.

McMahon homered in his first plate appearance of the game, his second long ball of the season. While both of his long balls have come at Coors Field, McMahon has at least one hit in eight of nine contests to begin the campaign.

Paredes went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 8-6 victory versus the Rockies.

The Rays were down by three runs with two outs in the eighth inning before Paredes ignited a comeback with a solo shot to left field. Prior to that, he had produced Tampa Bay's first run with a single in the first frame. Paredes is off to a nice start to the campaign, slashing .258/.324/.548 with three homers and seven RBI through 34 plate appearances, though his 35.3 percent strikeout rate so far is almost double his mark from last season.

Gelof went 0-for-1 with three walks, three runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Tigers.

It was an impressive display of patience from the 24-year-old second baseman, who managed an 8.7 percent walk rate as a rookie in 2023 but routinely posted marks in double digits in the minors. Gelof has struggled so far this season when he's had to swing the bat, however, going 5-for-32 (.156) with 13 strikeouts to balance out his five free passes, while chipping in two doubles, two steals and five runs.

LeMahieu (foot) took part in on-field batting practice Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone noted that he believes LeMahieu could be ready to resume playing soon. The veteran third baseman started the season on the 10-day IL and is working through a bone fracture in his right foot. Oswaldo Cabrera and Jon Berti will continue to hold down third base in LeMahieu's absence.
