Bride will sit Saturday against the Orioles.

Bride finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games, though that follows a stretch in which he started six out of seven contests. He hasn't hit the ball with much authority through his first 40 major-league games, slashing .231/.318/.285 with a 1.9 percent barrel rate. Tony Kemp will handle second base Saturday.

Paredes isn't starting Saturday against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes returned to the lineup Friday against the Yankees but will head to the bench for the third time in the last four games. Jonathan Aranda will take over at the keystone and bat third.

Devers went 2-for-2 with a double, two runs scored, one RBI and two walks in Friday's 9-1 win over Texas.

Devers scored a run in the fourth inning before knocking an RBI double and scoring again in the fifth. He's gone 4-for-7 with three doubles over his last two games after snapping an 0-for-20 skid. The star third baseman is now slashing .291/.349/.537 with 62 extra-base hits and 70 RBI through 115 games.

Candelario is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

Candelario started the past eight games and had a .944 OPS with two home runs, three doubles and eight RBI during that span, but he'll head to the bench for Friday's series opener. Prospect Ryan Kreidler will man the hot corner and could cut into Candelario's playing time down the stretch.

Paredes (undisclosed) is starting at second base and batting seventh Friday against the Yankees, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Paredes has been held out of the lineup the past two games but will rejoin the starting nine Friday. The 23-year-old finished August with a .235/.338/.471 slash line, four home runs, 11 RBI and a 10:10 BB:K in 25 contests.

Henderson went 1-for-4 with one steal in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Guardians.

Henderson stole second base off Bryan Shaw in the ninth inning. This was just the second major-league game of the 21-year-old's career, and he tallied a home run in his debut Wednesday.

Devers went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two runs and three RBI against Texas in a 9-8 victory Thursday.

Devers came up big late in the contest, doubling home a run to kick off an eighth-inning Boston comeback that included his two-run double in the ninth. The big performance snapped a five-game drought during which the third baseman went hitless over 20 at-bats. Devers is tied for seventh in the league with 35 doubles on the campaign.

Peraza was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Peraza dealt with a minor hand injury in early August but missed less than a week. The 22-year-old had a somewhat slow start to the season but has slashed .312/.377/.546 with 13 home runs, nine doubles, 41 runs, 34 RBI and 22 stolen bases over 51 games since June 11. Peraza should push for playing time in the big leagues, and it's possible that he overtakes Isiah Kiner-Falefa as the Yankees' primary shortstop at some point.

Bride is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

Tony Kemp will check in at second base while Bride takes a seat after drawing starts at the position in six of the past seven contests. Since coming off the injured list July 25, Bride has posted a meager .639 OPS over 27 games, but the Athletics don't appear to have a viable threat to challenge him for an everyday role in the infield.

The Tigers selected Kreidler's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Kreidler will be on the bench for Thursday's series finale against the Mariners, but he's expected to start Friday against the Royals and could eventually challenge Willi Castro for the primary gig at second base while Jonathan Schoop (ankle) is on the shelf. Over 250 plate appearances with Toledo this season, Kreidler slashed .213/.352/.411 with eight home runs and 15 stolen bases. In addition to seeing time at the keystone, the 24-year-old Kreidler also picked up reps at shortstop and third base.
