The Yankees placed Donaldson on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right calf strain.

Donaldson's right calf gave him problems once again during Saturday's win over Colorado, and he'll now be placed on the shelf for 10 days after an MRI revealed a strain. Oswald Peraza was brought up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Saturday in a 6-5 victory versus Atlanta.

Burger produced arguably the biggest hit of the contest, swatting a solo shot off Spencer Strider in the sixth inning to snap a 4-4 tie. The long ball was the 20th of the season for Burger, fifth-most in the American League. That power has helped Burger remain in the lineup most days despite a 33.0 percent strikeout rate and .222 batting average.

Moustakas went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 13-12 extra-inning win over the Astros.

Moustakas' seventh-inning blasted tied the game at 9-9, erasing a six-run deficit. He's hit three homers in 13 games with the Angels after swatting just four in 47 contests with the Rockies to begin the year. The infielder is slashing .261/.341/.435 with 24 RBI, 27 runs scored and seven doubles over 185 plate appearances overall, primarily serving in a strong-side platoon role.

LeMahieu went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

LeMahieu has hit safely in five straight games, going 8-for-20 (.400) in that span after batting just .150 over his previous 17 contests. The infielder's recent slump cratered his OPS to a low point of .645 on July 5, but he's up to a .232 batting average and .666 OPS with seven home runs, 27 RBI, 29 runs scored, 15 doubles and two triples through 78 games overall.

Farmer went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two additional RBI in Saturday's win over the Athletics.

After going without a home run for 23 games, Farmer took Freddy Tarnok yard in the seventh inning for his fifth long ball of the campaign. The multi-hit effort broke Farmer out of a slump during which he batted 5-for-34 (.147) over 14 games.

Donaldson will undergo an MRI on his right calf after it flared up on him again in Saturday's win over the Rockies, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Donaldson initially tweaked his calf a couple weeks ago and has often been limited to designated hitter of late as a result. He felt something in the calf again Saturday during his final plate appearance and will undergo testing. For what it's worth, Phillips notes that Yankees manager Aaron Boone "didn't sound optimistic" about Donaldson's condition.

Maton isn't in the Tigers' lineup Saturday against the Mariners.

Maton was called up from Triple-A Toledo on Friday and went 1-for-3 with a homer and two RBI in his first game back in the majors. He'll catch a breather Saturday while Andy Ibanez starts at second base and bats eighth.

Miranda was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right shoulder impingement.

Miranda was scratched Friday due to shoulder soreness, an issue which turns out to be serious enough to sideline him for at least 10 days. The young third baseman has dealt with shoulder issues this season dating back to spring training, which may partially explain his poor .211/.263/.303 slash line. Matt Wallner was recalled to take his place on the roster.

Cabbage grounded out as a pinch hitter in his only plate appearance against Houston on Friday.

Cabbage received his first major-league call-up Friday and pinch hit for Michael Stefanic in the eighth inning, grounding into a fielder's choice with a pair of runners on base and one out. Cabbage has impressed in the minors over the past two seasons, including at Triple-A this year, where he slashed .287/.358/.576 with 23 homers, 64 RBI and 24 steals -- albeit with a 31.3 percent strikeout rate -- over 81 games. The 26-year-old may get a decent look with the Angels currently wracked by injuries to multiple position players, but he isn't expected to see an everyday role.

Ramirez went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Friday's 12-4 loss to the Rangers.

Ramirez's steal was his 10th of the season and his first since June 29. The third baseman has hit safely in six straight games, going 7-for-23 (.304) in that span, though he has just one RBI on a solo home run during that stretch. He's maintained a strong .287/.362/.501 slash line with 14 homers, 53 RBI, 55 runs scored, 23 doubles and four triples through 87 contests.
