Henderson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 2-0 victory versus the Pirates on Saturday.

Henderson hit one of two homers for Baltimore in the win, going deep to right-center field in the second inning. The hit was just the second in the past seven games for the 21-year-old, who has gone 2-for-21 over that stretch. Henderson has had a rough campaign with a .175 batting average over 129 plate appearances, though he's still managed a solid .341 on-base percentage thanks to a 19.4 percent walk rate.

Moncada went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored Saturday against the Astros.

Moncada returned from the injured list Friday after missing a month due to back discomfort. He went hitless in his return but appeared to have knocked off the rust Saturday by tallying his second multi extra-base hit game of the campaign. Moncada has been limited by a few different injuries in the first six weeks of the season, though he's managed to maintain a .319 average and .386 wOBA across 48 plate appearances.

Lewis (knee) went 2-for-3 with a double, stolen base, three runs scored and a walk in a rehab game with Double-A Wichita on Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Lewis went 0-for-3 in his rehab debut with Wichita on Friday but turned things on in his second opportunity. The shortstop is working his way back from the torn ACL he suffered last summer while making a spectacular catch in the outfield as a member of the Twins. Lewis will likely need a lengthy rehab assignment, but he should be up with Minnesota sometime this summer as a player that offers significant fantasy upside.

Rendon was removed from Saturday's game against the Guardians with left groin tightness.

Rendon was replaced by Luis Rengifo with Rengifo moving to second base, Gio Urshela going from first to third and Brandon Drury heading from second to first. Rendon should be considered day-to-day, but it seems likely he'll undergo further testing before his availability is determined for the coming days.

Burger (oblique) has joined the team and will likely be activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Astros, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Burger hit .224 with seven home runs, 11 runs and 14 RBI in 23 games prior to suffering a mild left oblique strain in early May. Yoan Moncada has since returned from his injury, but Eloy Jimenez's emergency appendectomy likely opens up regular work for Burger in the short term.

Mead is on the 7-day injured list with Triple-A Durham after getting hit on the wrist by a pitch April 29 and he could miss four weeks, according to Bulls play-by-play voice Patrick Kinas.

If he misses four weeks, that would have him returning around Memorial Day weekend. It's been a disappointing start to the season for Mead, as he was hitting .221 with two home runs and a 22:9 K:BB in 22 games prior to suffering the injury.

Rendon went 3-for-5 with a double and a run in Friday's 5-4 win over Cleveland.

Rendon recorded his eighth multi-hit performance over his past 15 games in the victory, and he's slashing .382/.500/.491 over that span. Only four of the third baseman's 21 hits during the hot streak have gone for extra bases, but he's still been able to knock in 10 runs and score 13 over the stretch. A big part of Rendon's recent success has been his discerning eye at the plate -- over the 15-game span, he's drawn 10 walks while striking out just nine times. His excellent hitting of late has raised his season average to .307, ninth highest in the American League.

Urias (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined two to three weeks, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Urias has reported improvement with his left hamstring strain, but he's still going to need multiple weeks of down time. The infielder suffered the injury Monday and was placed on the IL on Tuesday.

Moncada (back) was activated Friday from the 10-day injured list.

Moncada is set to return to action for the White Sox in Friday night's series opener against the visiting Astros after missing a full month due to lingering lower-back discomfort. He was off to an encouraging start before the early season injury, boasting a .308/.325/.564 batting line with two home runs and four doubles through nine games. He'll hit cleanup Friday.

Farmer is batting cleanup for the Twins on Friday against the Cubs, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Farmer is 2-for-6 with a homer since returning Wednesday from surgery to repair his lower lip and bottom teeth, the aftermath of a brutal hit-by-pitch to the jaw back in early April. He could continue to get semi-everyday looks at third base as Jose Miranda works on his craft at Triple-A St. Paul.
