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.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Athletics.

Suarez entered Tuesday on an 0-for-11 skid. It took him until the seventh inning to put an end to that slump, when he hit the Mariners' third consecutive homer to establish a 7-0 lead. The third baseman continues to supply solid power with 13 homers and a .438 slugging percentage through 68 contests. He's added 36 RBI, 33 runs scored, 12 doubles and a .227 batting average, and it doesn't appear that his recent slump will lead to reduced playing time.

Lewis underwent knee surgery Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Lewis tore his right ACL for the second time in late May and will now embark on what's expected to be a year-long recovery program. The silver lining for Lewis is that he's already familiar with the process, but he'll carry significant injury concerns for the foreseeable future after undergoing the same major procedure twice in a 16-month span.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Urias is still rehabbing his strained left oblique but could be ready to resume hitting within the next few days, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Hyde didn't indicate that Urias suffered a setback or was plateauing in his recovery, but the 27-year-old looks as though he's progressing at a slower pace than the Orioles anticipated when he was placed on the 10-day injured list June 11. Even if Urias is able to take part in batting practice by the end of the week, he'll still need to prove he can run the bases and play the infield without discomfort before the Orioles send him out on a rehab assignment.

Burger will sit Tuesday against Toronto.

Burger should find himself in the lineup on a regular basis until Yoan Moncada returns from a hamstring injury, but he won't play every day. Danny Mendick will be the third baseman Tuesday, while Andrew Vaughn serves as the designated hitter.

Ramirez (thumb) will start at third base and bat third in Tuesday's game in Minnesota.

According to Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ramirez wasn't on the field for the Guardians' early batting practice session, but the veteran must have put in enough work behind the scenes for the coaching and training staffs to clear him to rejoin the lineup. Ramirez's return from a two-game absence due to a sore right thumb is a major boon for a Guardians squad that enters Tuesday's series opener trailing the Twins by just one game in the American League Central standings.

Rendon underwent successful surgery on his right wrist Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon is on the 60-day IL and is out for the season due to the surgery. He's expected to be ready to return by spring training next year. The 32-year-old hasn't played more than 58 games in a season since 2019.

Miranda is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

Miranda has posted an .884 OPS in June and seems to be hitting his stride after a rough start to his big-league career, but he may have to settle for a part-time role following the recent call-up of Alex Kirilloff from Triple-A St. Paul. The rookie will take a seat against a right-handed starting pitcher (Aaron Civale) for the second time in three games while Kirilloff starts at first base and Gary Sanchez serves as the Twins' designated hitter.

Moncada was placed on the 10-day inured list with a strained right hamstring Monday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The move was made retroactive to Saturday, so Moncada will be eligible to return next Tuesday, but it's not yet clear if he'll have the chance to do so. This is Moncada's second trip to the injured list, as he'd previously missed over a month with an oblique issue. Jake Burger should be the primary third baseman in his absence.
