Duffy isn't starting Friday against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Duffy started the last three games and went 3-for-10 with two runs, an RBI, a walk and two strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Luis Rengifo starts at the hot corner and leads off.

Moncada (foot) is starting at third base and batting sixth Friday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

After missing the last two games due to a bone bruise on the top of his foot, Moncada is officially good to go again. He will return to face Yu Darvish, whom he is 1-for-9 against in his career with four strikeouts.

Donaldson isn't starting Friday against the Orioles.

Donaldson started the last three games and went 1-for-13 with two runs, an RBI and eight strikeouts. DJ LeMahieu will start at third base and bat fifth after being reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

LeMahieu (toe) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

LeMahieu was trending toward a return Friday, and he'll officially be activated by the Yankees prior to Friday's series opener against the Orioles. Manager Aaron Boone said last week that LeMahieu is unlikely to be 100 percent healthy upon his return, but he should be available for the team's final few games of the regular season.

Candelario will sit Thursday against the Twins.

Candelario has gone 8-for-20 with four doubles across his last six games, though that's only been enough to drag his season-long slash line up to .210/.267/.360. Harold Castro will start at third base Friday.

Reynolds isn't in the lineup Friday against the Cubs.

Reynolds started six of the last seven games and went 4-for-17 with a double, an RBI, four walks and six strikeouts. He'll get a breather since Donovan Solano is starting at first base and batting fifth in his return to the lineup.

Toro stole a base as a pinch runner in Thursday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Rangers.

Toro swiped third base in the 10th inning but was stranded. It was just his second steal in 104 contests this season after he swiped six bags in 95 games last year 2021. The 25-year-old infielder has a .183/.238/.320 slash line with nine home runs, 30 RBI, 34 runs scored, 13 doubles and a triple, and he's into a reserve role since Eugenio Suarez returned from the injured list.

Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and an RBI in Thursday's win over the Phillies.

Wisdom had two of his team's seven hits, leading the Cubs to a 2-0 victory. The infielder is batting just .212 this season with a strikeout rate of 33.7 percent, though he's provided decent fantasy value with 25 home runs, 27 doubles and 66 RBI across 130 games. This was his first multi-hit game since Aug. 14.

McMahon isn't starting Thursday against the Giants, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

McMahon is getting a day off after he went 3-for-18 with two solo homers, three runs and nine strikeouts over the last four games. Alan Trejo will take over at the hot corner and bat second.

Walls is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Walls has a .561 OPS through 21 games in September and will head to the bench for Thursday's series finale. Jonathan Aranda will step in at the keystone and bat leadoff.
