Burger went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Astros.

Burger gave the Sox life after launching a first pitch curveball that just snuck over the left field wall to bring his squad within a run. The 27-year-old now has eight homers in just 81 plate appearances on the year and should find himself in a daily role as long as Eloy Jimenez (abdomen) is out with injury. Burger is now slashing .239/.321/.648 with 16 RBI, 12 runs and a 7:26 BB:K.

Walls went 3-for-4 with a triple, a homer, four RBI and a steal in Sunday's victory over the Yankees.

Walls filled up the stat sheet Sunday, logging three hits, including a triple and a grand slam, powering the Rays to an 8-7 victory. Walls now has seven homers in 92 at-bats this season, one shy of his career high set in 407 at-bats last year. The 26-year-old infielder is slashing .281/.373/.583 with 22 runs scored, 18 RBI and seven stolen bases through 110 plate appearances while carving out a regular role in Tampa Bay's lineup.

Farmer went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Cubs.

Farmer has hit safely in five straight games since returning from a mouth injury. Sunday marked his first multi-hit effort in that span, as he led the Twins with three hits in the contest. The hot return to action puts the infielder at a .286/.345/.449 slash line with two home runs, eight RBI, 11 runs scored, two doubles and no stolen bases through 55 plate appearances. Farmer has started all five games since his return at third base, including four contests versus right-handed pitchers, so it appears he's closer to maintaining an everyday role than falling back into a platoon with utility man Willi Castro.

Peterson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Peterson has a .229/.308/.314 slash line and 28.2 percent strikeout rate through 11 games in May and will head to the bench Sunday with southpaw Andrew Heaney pitching for Texas. Aledmys Diaz (hamstring) will start at the hot corner in his return from the injured list.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters Sunday that Urias (hamstring) is "much improved" and he was able to hit in the batting cages prior to the game against the Pirates, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Urias is currently on the injured list with a hamstring strain he suffered May 8 against the Rays, and while he is expected to miss around two to three weeks, it's a positive development that he's feeling better and able to get swings in. He should be back in the Baltimore lineup by the end of May if there are no setbacks, with a chance for him to start a rehab assignment in the next week or so.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Paredes is 5-for-10 with a double, an RBI and a run through the first three games of the series but will take a seat for Sunday's finale. Taylor Walls will man the hot corner and bat sixth versus New York righty Clarke Schmidt.

The White Sox reinstated Burger (oblique) from the 10-day injured list prior to Sunday's game against the Astros, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Burger will hit seventh and serve as Chicago's designated hitter in Sunday' series finale. The 27-year-old spent the minimum 10 days on the shelf due to the oblique strain and was deemed fit to rejoin the White Sox after a two-game rehab stint with Triple-A Charlotte. Though fellow third baseman Yoan Moncada narrowly beat Burger back from the IL, the latter should have a fairly clear path to steady playing time at DH while Eloy Jimenez (appendectomy) is sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Maton is starting at designated hitter and batting fifth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Andy Ibanez is continuing to see time at third base, so Maton will serve as the DH for the second straight game. He's batting just .157 with a .570 OPS, so he may continue to cede playing time to Ibanez at the hot corner, while DH starts aren't guaranteed moving forward either. Maton will need to start hitting more consistently soon to maintain a regular role with the Tigers.

Peraza (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Peraza will get a chance to get back on the field after being out for over a week with his right ankle sprain. The 22-year-old will likely need at least a couple of rehab games before he's ready to return from the 10-day injured list next week.

Rendon (groin) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon will take a seat for the series finale in Cleveland after he exited early in Saturday's 8-6 loss with left groin tightness. The Angels appear to be viewing Rendon as day-to-day for the time being, with his availability for Monday's series opener in Baltimore seemingly up in the air. Gio Urshela will spell Rendon at third base Sunday.
