Paredes will not start Saturday's game against Atlanta, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Pardes has swung a hot bat recently, homering four times in his last 18 games while slashing .291/.459/.564. He'll get a rest Saturday with Taylor Walls taking over at the hot corner.

Peterson will hit the bench against lefty James Paxton and the Red Sox on Saturday.

Peterson started against a lefty in Friday's series opener, but Brennan Bernardino was merely an opener in that contest. Peterson owns a career 52 wRC+ against southpaws, so it's no surprise to see him sit against Paxton. Aledmys Diaz will take over at the hot corner.

Burger went 2-for-2 with a home run, a double, three RBI, two runs scored and two walks in Friday's win over St. Louis.

Burger had a perfect day at the plate highlighted by his solo shot in the fifth inning to kick-start the White Sox's offense. The 27-year-old slugger is up to 19 homers this year, though he has just three with a .588 OPS over his last 20 games. His season slash line sits at .223/.282/.528 with 32 extra-base hits and 41 RBI through 255 plate appearances.

Rendon (shin) remains out of the lineup Friday.

Rendon has been sidelined since fouling a ball off his left shin Tuesday in San Diego. He's appeared in only 43 of a possible 89 games so far this season. Mike Moustakas is covering third base Friday at Dodger Stadium, while Hunter Renfroe will get the start at first base.

Garcia went 0-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Guardians.

Garcia's six-game hitting streak came to a close, but he drew multiple walks for the second time in his last four contests. The infielder's plate discipline is solid, with an 8.3 percent walk rate and 23.0 percent strikeout rate through 55 contests. He's displayed a solid hit tool by batting .291 with a .372 BABIP, and he's added three home runs, 14 stolen bases, 21 RBI and 26 runs scored through 222 plate appearances. He's settled into the leadoff spot over the last week after spending much of June moving around the lineup.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-1 win against Kansas City on Thursday.

Ramirez launched a solo shot to left field in the sixth inning to give Cleveland its first lead of the game. The long ball was his first in what has been a quiet start to July, as he's slashing .217/.333/.391 without a steal so far this month. Ramirez started June off quietly as well, but he picked things up with a .392/.462/.772 slash line, seven homers, 22 RBI and four thefts over his final 20 games of that month.

Henderson went 4-for-7 with a solo homer, a three-run homer, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Thursday's win over the Yankees.

Henderson was unstoppable through the first four innings, going 4-for-4 with a pair of home runs to collect a total of five RBI and three runs scored. The outing marked Henderson's first career multi-homer game while also setting a career high in RBI despite him going 0-for-3 in his final three plate appearances. Through 76 games, the second-year infielder is slashing .246/.339/.465 with 13 home runs and five stolen bases but is striking out at a 30.8 percent clip.

Walls went 0-for-3 with a walk and two steals in Thursday's 3-1 loss against the Phillies.

Walls continued to run all over the Phillies, racking up his second and third stolen bases of the series Thursday. The pair of swipes pushed him to 20 on the season, the ninth most in baseball. Though he's managed to produce in the steal column lately, Walls is going through a mini-slump, having gone hitless in each of his last four games (10 at-bats).

Suarez went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double, three RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Astros.

Suarez opened and closed the scoring Thursday, smashing a two-run blast in the second inning and adding a solo shot in the ninth. This was his first multi-homer game of the season. He's been hitting better of late, going 16-for-49 (.327) over his last 14 games while racking up four homers and 13 RBI in that span. The third baseman is up to a .230/.318/.383 slash line with 11 long balls, 52 RBI, 35 runs scored, 15 doubles and a stolen base through 86 contests.

Detroit optioned Nevin to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Nevin, 26, has posted an ugly .122/.214/.184 batting line in 22 games this season at the major-league level. Akil Baddoo (quad) is expected to return from the injured list Friday to fill the vacant 26-man roster spot.
