Paredes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Yankees on Wednesday.

After going deep three times against New York on Tuesday, Paredes swatted a solo shot in his first at-bat of Wednesday's contest. His unexpected power surge has Paredes up to nine major-league homers on the campaign to go along with the four long balls he swatted in 25 games with Triple-A Durham. He has never been a prolific home run hitter in the minors, but there is the possibility that he is learning to tap into his raw power.

Urshela went 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple, three RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 11-10 loss to the Guardians.

Urshela was productive Wednesday, with his three-run homer in the seventh inning giving the Twins a 10-7 lead. He hadn't homered since May 30, and his last multi-hit game before Wednesday was June 8. He's still holding down a regular role at third base with a steady .260/.315/.400 slash line, six homers, 29 RBI, 27 runs scored, 10 doubles and a triple through 63 contests overall.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 11-10 win over the Twins.

Ramirez missed two games with a thumb injury over the weekend, but it hasn't slowed him down at the plate. He's hit safely in his last 11 contests, going 18-for-46 (.391) in that span. The third baseman has also picked up four steals in that stretch, giving him 12 in 15 attempts this year. For the season, he's slashing a stellar .302/.393/.630 with 16 home runs, 62 RBI, 44 runs scored, 21 doubles and four triples in 62 games.

Bregman went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 5-3 win versus the Mets. He was also hit by a pitch.

The 28-year-old delivered a two-run homer during the opening frame, which was immediately followed by a solo shot from Yordan Alvarez. Bregman entered Wednesday's contest with a .655 OPS in June, but he's now in the midst of a five-game hit streak, during which he's gone 7-for-16 with two home runs, four walks, four RBI and five runs scored.

Urias (oblique) resumed baseball activities Wednesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Urias has been sidelined with a left oblique strain since June 11, and he made slow progress in his recovery during his first few days on the IL. However, he's trending in the right direction now that he's participating in baseball activities once again. The 28-year-old will need to ramp up his workload before he's activated, so it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action.

Candelario isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Boston.

Candelario returned to the field Monday against the Red Sox and went 2-for-8 with two strikeouts over the last two games. He'll get a breather while Harold Castro starts at the hot corner and bats fifth.

Devers isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Devers will get a rare day off after he went 3-for-9 with a double, an RBI, two walks and two strikeouts over the last three games. Jeter Downs is making his major-league debut at third base Wednesday.

Bride went 2-for-4 with a pair of hits in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Mariners.

Since going 0-for-3 in his MLB debut June 14, Bride has proceeded to record at least one hit in each of his subsequent six starts. Only one of his eight big-league hits has gone for extra bases, but Bride's high-contact approach -- he's struck out just once in 25 plate appearances -- should allow him to stick around as a lineup regular against both left- and right-handed pitching. Bride is expected to see most of his work at third base and second base, but he could be catcher-eligible in some leagues after logging 11 starts behind the plate for Triple-A Las Vegas this season prior to his call-up.

LeMahieu went 2-for-2 with a double, a walk and two RBI in a 5-4 loss to the Rays on Tuesday.

LeMahieu came into the game batting .192 (2-for-26) over the last seven days, but he rapped out a couple of hits and reached on a walk once to break out of his slump. His .341 OBP is likely good enough to keep him locked in atop the Yankees' AL-leading offense in runs scored, which bodes well for his counting stats. LeMahieu's 34 runs tie him for ninth amongst second basemen.

Paredes went 3-for-3 with three home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.

It was his first multi-hit game since May 30, and he is now hitting .200/.284/.600 with eight home runs over his last 65 at-bats. The Rays have dealt with several injuries to outfielders lately, and while Paredes plays the infield, he could see somewhat regular playing time in the short term if he can continue to make an impact offensively.
