Miranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Miranda is 5-for-14 with a double, three home runs, four RBI and five runs scored over the past four contests, and he'll take a seat Sunday after starting Minnesota's first 28 games of the campaign. Willi Castro will step in at the hot corner for the Twins in the series finale.

Rendon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Rendon went 1-for-7 in the first two games of the series. Gio Urshela will be the starting third baseman for Sunday's finale against Milwaukee with Jake Lamb hitting eighth and playing first base .

Urias is not in the starting lineup against the Red Sox on Sunday.

Urias has failed to pick up a hit over seven at-bats in the series against the Tigers in two games of work. Gunnar Henderson will man the hot corner and hit sixth with Ryan O'Hearn hitting ninth as the designated hitter.

Devers went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Guardians.

Devers launched his AL-leading 10th home run in the first inning to give Boston an early lead. The third baseman is on pace for 60 homers over a 162-game season. He appears to have a made a conscious decision to leave the park more often, which has come at the expense of batting average. Devers has career highs in launch angle (15.0) and flyball percentage (33.3) in his pursuit of the long ball but is hitting just .239 (.208 BABIP).

Bregman went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Saturday's loss to Philadelphia.

Bregman struggled to put the ball in play Saturday, striking out three times, two of which came at the hands of Zack Wheeler. After hitting safely in 14 of 15 games from April 9 to April 24, the third baseman is 0-for-14 in his last four contests. Bregman should get the chance to break the slump Sunday in a matchup against projected starter Bailey Falter, who has given up five home runs and holds an 0-4 record through five starts this season.

Farmer (face) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday and hopes to be activated from the injured list May 9, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

He'll play with St. Paul for a week before undergoing oral surgery to remove wires in his jaw on May 8 that sounds like the last steep in his recovery process. Farmer underwent surgery on his lower lip and bottom teeth after being struck by a pitch in the face April 12.

Walls went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base Saturday against the White Sox.

Walls was in the lineup for the fifth time in five games, as his glove continues to earn him playing time. He has only two hits across his last 21 at-bats, however. Walls' primary contribution for fantasy purposes is his ability on the basepaths, and he has three stolen bases across his last nine games.

The Tigers optioned Nevin to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

Zach Short will remain on the active roster after being called up from Toledo to serve as the 27th man for Detroit's doubleheader against the Orioles on Saturday. In 27 plate appearances with the big club this season, Nevin slashed .091/.222/.227.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Red Sox.

Ramirez went 14 games without a steal after logging four thefts in his first 11 contests this season. The third baseman has a solid .273/.362/.475 slash line with three home runs, five steals, 16 RBI, 13 runs scored, nine doubles and a triple through 26 games in his usual everyday role.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Rays.

His second-inning shot off Zach Eflin proved to be the last gasp of offense Chicago could manage off Tampa Bay pitching. Burger has a clear path to regular playing time at third base with Yoan Moncada (back) not expected to return for at least a few more weeks, and the 27-year-old has earned it by slashing .259/.349/.722 through 63 plate appearances with four doubles, seven homers and 13 RBI.
