Davis (groin) was cleared to begin walking on a treadmill Friday, the Associated Press reports.

Davis suffered the groin strain last Sunday against the Nationals, so the fact he's already able to do some accelerated walking less than a week later is a good sign. However, Davis has yet to resume any baseball activities, so it remains to be seen if he'll be deemed ready to return when first eligible Thursday.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Devers (knee) could return to action Tuesday against the Guardians, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Devers, who hasn't played since Wednesday, will miss a fourth game in Sunday's finale at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. The Red Sox are off Monday, which will give Devers five days off.

Dalbec started at third base and then moved to first base after Triston Casas (rib) was removed from Saturday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

Casas underwent testing to determine the severity of the injury and was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, per Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald. That suggests Dalbec could be in line as a replacement at first base for as long as Casas needs; however, Dalbec is batting just .038 (1-for-26) to start the season.

Rendon said after exiting Saturday's game against the Reds that his left hamstring is feeling "not too great," Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon tweaked the hamstring on the first play of the game and had to be removed for a pinch runner. It certainly sounds like a stint on the injured list could be in the offing, but the Angels could wait to see how Rendon feels Sunday before making a decision. If Rendon does need to miss time, Luis Rengifo would probably see the most action at third base, with Miguel Sano also a possibility to be mixed in there.

Rendon departed Saturday's game in Cincinnati with a hamstring injury, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon led off the game with an infield single but then immediately had to be lifted for a pinch runner. It's unclear at this point whether an MRI will be required, but the Angels should offer more clarity on his injury situation after the game. While he hasn't hit for much power at all, Rendon has been productive over the last couple weeks, coming into action Saturday hitting .381/.438/.429 over his last 10 games.

Sosa isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Saturday's game against Philadelphia.

Sosa is 0-for-8 in his last three games, so he'll get a chance to clear his head Saturday. While he sits, Braden Shewmake will pick up a start at third base and bat ninth.

Lewis (quad) has resumed baseball activity and is aiming to begin a running progression next week, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Lewis hit off a tee and stood in during a few bullpen sessions Saturday. Head trainer Nick Paparesta said he is pleased by the progress the 24-year-old infielder has made since straining his right quad on Opening Day, though he noted that Lewis still has a ways to go before the Twins can start thinking about a return.

Garcia went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Friday's 9-4 win over the Orioles.

Garcia was ice cold entering Friday, having gone 0-for-20 over his previous five games with six strikeouts in that span. The third baseman is batting just .167 with four steals, three home runs, 12 RBI and seven runs scored over 85 plate appearances. The overall success of the rest of the roster has covered Garcia's recent struggles, which haven't cost him playing time yet.

Devers (knee) isn't in Boston's lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republicanreports.

Devers will sit for the third straight game after being diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee Thursday. There has been no indication that the 27-year-old is moving toward a stay on the injured list, though his chances of playing this weekend against Pittsburgh are dwindling. Bobby Dalbec will draw another start at third base with Devers out.

The Tigers placed Urshela on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right hamstring strain.

Urshela suffered the injury while running to first base during Friday's win and had to be removed from the game in the second inning. Matt Vierling will start at third base Saturday and could be in line to do so regularly while Urshela is out, though the newly promoted Buddy Kennedy may also see a few starts.
