Espinal started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two stolen bases in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

Espinal has now started six of the last seven contests and will continue to vie for playing time at third base, especially with fellow third baseman Noelvi Marte struggling with a .488 OPS. The versatile Espinal has started at second base, shortstop, third base, left field and designated hitter this season, batting .243 with eight home runs, 30 RBI, 21 runs scored and eight stolen bases across 77 games played.

Rendon (back) was spotted fielding groundballs Sunday and is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The 34-year-old hasn't seen game action since July 26 due to lower-back inflammation, but he's poised to rejoin the active roster after spending the 10-day minimum on the IL. Rendon had been serving as the Angels' leadoff hitter prior to the injury, but he won't immediately reclaim that role once reinstated.

Duran will start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Duran will get his third consecutive start, with all three coming in the corner outfield. The last two have come in place of Wyatt Langford, who is battling a tight back but doesn't appear at risk of landing on the injured list. Assuming Langford is back in the lineup within the next few days, Duran will fade back into a bench role.

Lee is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Lee started the past 24 games after being called up from Triple-A St. Paul for his big-league debut in early July, but he'll sit Sunday after he posted a .250/.311/.326 slash line with two home runs, 14 RBI and eight runs in his first 103 plate appearances. Willi Castro will shift to shortstop while Austin Martin receives a start at the keystone.

Sosa will start at third base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

After starting each of the previous three games at the keystone, Sosa will man the hot corner Sunday while Miguel Vargas gets a day out of the infield and serves as the club's designated hitter. Sosa has gone 1-for-12 through four games since receiving a promotion from Triple-A Charlotte, and he'll likely need to pick up the pace at the plate in order to hold down a full-time role with the big club for the balance of the season.

DeJong went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Tigers.

DeJong has started three of the Royals' last four games at third base and looks to be the team's top option there. Maikel Garcia provides the Royals with infield flexibility, and DeJong's increased role has led to a drop in playing time for second baseman Michael Massey. DeJong has gone 10-for-26 during his active eight-game hitting streak that dates back to July 25 when he was with the White Sox. For the year, he's produced a .233/.279/.437 slash line, 19 homers, 45 RBI, 41 runs scored, two stolen bases and 14 doubles over 105 contests. For now, it looks like manager Matt Quatraro will ride the hot hand when filling out his lineup card for second base and third base.

Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Hayes appears to be receiving some maintenance after he went 8-for-35 (.229 average) with two stolen bases, six runs and two RBI while starting each of the Pirates' last nine games. Jared Triolo will spell Hayes at the hot corner.

Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, two runs and two RBI in Saturday's 10-0 win over Oakland. He also pitched one inning, giving up a hit and no runs.

Hernandez was part of a late-game explosion by Los Angeles' offense, as he doubled home a run in the eighth inning and added another RBI on a single in the ninth. Those contributions helped the Dodgers build a 10-0 lead, and manager Dave Roberts consequently let Hernandez pitch the ninth. He did well in lobbing pitches to A's hitters, giving up a two-out double but nothing more. Hernandez has gone 4-for-7 with two walks over the first two games of the weekend set versus Oakland.

Bohm went 1-for-5 with three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's loss to Seattle.

Bohm drove in Philadelphia's first three runs of the game and also came around to score himself in the fifth on a Brandon Marsh single. The third baseman has now hit safely in five consecutive games and in eight of his last nine overall, tallying six doubles and a triple over that latter stretch to go along with five RBI and four runs scored. Bohm also swiped his fifth bag of the season in Saturday's loss, and it was his first since June 24 against the Tigers.

Berti (calf) has increased his running intensity to 80 percent, and Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that the utility man is "trending back in a good direction," per MLB.com.

Berti has been on the injured list since late May after suffering a left calf strain. He resumed running in late July and has since upped his intensity, though he remains without a definite timeline for a return. Boone did mention Saturday that Berti is closer than Anthony Rizzo (forearm) to rejoining the Yankees, according to the Associated Press.
