Devers went 3-for-5 with a homer, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's victory over the Blue Jays.

Devers put the Red Sox on top 2-1 with his two-run home run in the top of the third and again added to Boston's lead with an RBI single in the fifth. The third baseman reached base three times in the contest and fell a triple short of a cycle while launching his third homer in his last eight games. He's hitting .344 over that eight-game stretch with six RBI and seven runs scored.

The Twins recalled Miranda from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. He'll start at third base and bat seventh in the Twins' series finale in Baltimore.

Miranda is back in the big leagues for the first time since early May, rejoining the Twins as a replacement on the 26-man active roster for Royce Lewis (oblique), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Though he wasn't able to build on his promising rookie campaign during his time in the majors earlier in 2023, Miranda's dormant bat has awoken at St. Paul. He finished June with a .287/.362/.436 slash line while striking out just 17 times in 23 games, and Miranda should now get another chance to step in as the Twins' primary option at third base while Lewis is on the mend.

The Twins placed Lewis (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Lewis will be sidelined at least through the All-Star break after suffering a left oblique strain in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Orioles. The Twins recalled Jose Miranda from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move, and he's expected to step in for Lewis as Minnesota's primary third baseman in the short term.

Rendon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Rendon had one of just three hits for the Angels, leading to their only run against Ryne Nelson and two Arizona relievers. This was Rendon's second game back from a wrist injury. The third baseman has played in just 10 contests since the start of June, going 3-for-37 with a home run, two RBI and two doubles as he navigates another injury-plagued season. He's slashing just .243/.360/.329 with two homers, 22 RBI, 23 runs scored and two stolen bases through 40 contests on the year.

Miranda was scratched from the Triple-A St. Paul lineup Saturday and is expected to be called up after Royce Lewis left Saturday's Twins game with a strained oblique muscle, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports

Miranda began the season as Minnesota's everyday third baseman, but he was sent to Triple-A on May 10 after hitting just .220/.275/.318. Miranda hasn't been much better at Triple-A, as he's hit just .255/.326/.360 in 39 games. However, he has shown some progress lately, hitting .305/.374/.476 with two home runs in his last 20 games.

The Twins will place Lewis on the 10-day injured list after he suffered a left oblique strain during Saturday's game against Baltimore, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

After grabbing at his left side while running to first base, Lewis had to exit the game with a trainer in the third inning. No official move has been made yet, but Jose Miranda was scratched from Triple-A St. Paul's lineup Saturday, so it seems pretty close to a done deal at this point. Lewis was 8-for-20 with two RBI and two runs across his last five games entering Saturday, and he'll be eligible to return right after the All-Star break.

Moustakas isn't in the Angels' lineup Saturday against the Diamondbacks, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Moustakas is 4-for-17 with a home run and two RBI through five games since joining the Angels, and he'll get a day off Saturday. Hunter Renfroe will make a rare start at first base in Moustakas' absence, allowing Mickey Moniak to start in right field and bat in the leadoff spot.

Paredes isn't in the Rays' lineup Saturday against Seattle.

The 24-year-old third baseman is 4-for-17 with an RBI and two runs scored over his last five games, and he'll get a breather Saturday. Yandy Diaz will shift to third base in Paredes' absence, moving Luke Raley to first base and allowing Harold Ramirez to serve as the Rays' designated hitter.

Lewis was pulled from Saturday's game against Baltimore due to a left oblique strain, Audra Martin of Bally Sports North reports.

Lewis was grabbing at his left side while running to first base on a groundout in the third inning and had to be replaced at third base by Kyle Farmer. The severity of his injury is unclear, though an IL stint is certainly possible. The 24-year-old infielder is slashing .333/.361/.484 on the season through 97 plate appearances.

Lewis was removed from Saturday's game against the Orioles with an apparent injury, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Lewis appeared to be grabbing at his left side while running to first base and walked off the field alongside a trainer. Kyle Farmer has entered the game to cover third base, while Lewis will presumably undergo imaging to determine what the issue is. He should be considered day-to-day for now.
