The Tigers optioned Nevin to Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

The move comes as a result of Kerry Carpenter (shoulder) returning from the 10-day injured list. Nevin was recalled from Triple-A on May 30 and went just 3-for-17 (.176) at the plate after being promoted. The 26-year-old infielder holds a .331/.387/.477 slash line in the minors this season and could return to Detroit later this summer.

Moncada went 1-for-8 with a solo home run across both games of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

Moncada took Luis Severino deep in the third inning of the opening game to tally his third home run of the season, though he also struck out three times across the twin bill. It was his first long ball in 28 games, which encompasses most of his season due to injury. Moncada currently has a .675 OPS across 131 plate appearances, his second consecutive year under .700. Even so, he remains the primary starter at third base.

Ramirez went 3-for-5 with three home runs and five RBI in Thursday's 10-3 win over the Red Sox.

This was the first three-homer game of Ramirez's career. The third baseman hadn't gone yard since May 21, batting .212 (14-for-66) over his 15-game power drought. On the season, he's up to nine homers and 36 RBI in 59 games, and his .807 OPS would be his lowest mark since 2019.

Bregman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, his ninth long ball of the season, in Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Bregman has been red hot of late, as he has hits in 13 of his last 14 games with three homers, 14 RBI and a .358 (19-for-53) batting average over that stretch. Fantasy managers can only hope that it's not a mirage, as the third baseman has had a pedestrian campaign by his standards. Although it's still early, his .403 SLG and .751 OPS would be the lowest marks of his career.

Burger went 2-for-8 with a two-run home run and a double across both games of Thursday's twin bill against the Yankees.

All of Burger's production came in Game 1, when he went 2-for-4 with a two-run shot off Luis Severino. The third baseman has started each of Chicago's past three games after coming off the bench in each of the three prior contests. Burger was the team's DH in the opening contest Thursday before shifting to first base in the nightcap, and he's also logged starts at third and second base this season. That positional flexibility should help him see frequent enough starts to still be relevant in fantasy.

LeMahieu is out of the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

LeMahieu started at third base in the opening game of the day and went 0-for-3 with a walk. He'll give way to Josh Donaldson for the night contest as the duo continues to alternate starts at third base.

Henderson went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 6-3 victory over the Brewers.

Henderson put the Orioles ahead 4-3 in the eighth inning, launching a two-run, opposite-field homer off Peter Strzelecki. It's Henderson's second homer in five games, though he's struggled to a .185 average (5-for-27) in his last nine contests. The 21-year-old third baseman is now slashing .206/.332/.400 with seven homers, 17 RBI and 30 runs scored through 196 plate appearances this season.

Urias went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a stolen base in Thursday's victory over the Brewers.

Urias got the Orioles' comeback started with a solo home run off Joel Payamps, cutting the deficit to 3-1 in the seventh inning. It was Urias' second homer of the season and his first since Opening Day. The 29-year-old infielder had been stuck in a 4-for-36 slump (.111) coming into Thursday's contest, as he's retreated to a bench role in Baltimore. Overall, Urias is slashing .260/.343/.386 with 18 RBI and 15 runs scored through 143 plate appearances while going 3-for-4 on stolen base attempts.

Rendon is absent from the lineup Thursday against the Cubs.

Rendon has been making early exits from games since he returned Tuesday from a groin strain, and he'll apparently get a full night off Thursday. Gio Urshela is starting at third base and batting fifth versus the Cubs and left-hander Drew Smyly.

Donaldson is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

The Yankees will go with DJ LeMahieu at the hot corner for the afternoon contest. Donaldson -- who has homered three times in three games since returning from the injured list -- will likely be back out there for the nightcap.
