Farmer was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Twins on Thursday with a facial injury, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Farmer underwent surgery Wednesday on his lower lip and bottom teeth after being struck by a pitch in the face versus the White Sox. He was able to avoid a fractured jaw and a concussion, so things could have been worse. It's not clear when Farmer might be back.

Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Athletics, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

It's a routine day off after Urias had started each of the previous six contests. Gunnar Henderson is at third base and Adam Frazier is at second for Thursday's series finale.

Paredes is not in the Rays' lineup for Thursday's contest against the Red Sox.

It's a regular day off after he had started each of the last seven games. Paredes is off to an excellent start, posting a .925 OPS with three long balls.

Devers is absent from the Red Sox' lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

It's a routine day off for Devers with Tampa Bay throwing left-hander Jeffrey Springs. Bobby Dalbec will be at the hot corner and bat fifth Thursday.

Maton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 10-inning loss to the Blue Jays.

Maton went deep in the fourth inning, giving him two long balls in as many days. The 26-year-old hit a career-high five home runs last season as a depth piece with the Phillies, but it seems like he'll see a lot more playing time with the Tigers this year, so he stands a good chance of surpassing that figure.

Farmer underwent successful surgery on his lower lip and bottom teeth Wednesday.

Farmer luckily avoided a fractured jaw after getting hit in the face in the fourth inning of Wednesday's 3-1 win over the White Sox. He's set to have external stitches removed in a week, making a stint on the 10-day injured list all but certain for the 32-year-old utility infielder. Kyle Garlick is a prime candidate to receive a call-up from Triple-A St. Paul to replace Farmer as a right-handed bat off the bench.

Bregman went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and two walks during Wednesday's victory over Pittsburgh.

Bregman has now extended his hitting streak to four games with a home run coming in each of his last two. After starting the year just 5-for-39 through his first nine games, the 29-year-old third baseman could finally be starting to heat up at the plate.

Detroit recalled Nevin from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.

Before suffering an oblique injury in early March and beginning the season on the injured list, Nevin appeared to have a good chance at making the Tigers' Opening Day roster. He'll now get the opportunity to join the big club, as he was called up after starting pitcher Matt Manning (foot) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. A career .205/.312/.292 hitter in the big leagues, Nevin could get a look in an everyday role at third base if Detroit shifts Nick Maton to second base, a position where the team has struggled to get production thus far in 2023.

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said after Wednesday's 3-1 win over the White Sox that Farmer will need surgery to realign his teeth, John Shipley of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Farmer avoided a fractured jaw after getting struck in the face by a Lucas Giolito pitch in the fourth inning of Wednesday's contest, but he's going to need extended time off following the dental procedure. Kyle Garlick could be called up from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of Thursday's game against the Yankees with the likelihood that Farmer is placed on the 10-day injured list. Farmer had been getting regular playing time as a utility infielder in the early part of the season while batting .226 with a .641 OPS through 35 plate appearances.

Farmer appears to have avoided a fractured jaw after getting hit by a pitch Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Farmer took a Lucas Giolito delivery to the face in the fourth inning of Wednesay's game against the White Sox. He has a laceration and needs dental work, per Hayes, but the early indications are that no bones were broken. It's unclear whether the infielder will require an IL stint.
