  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Rays' Isaac Paredes: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Paredes is not in Sunday's lineup against the Twins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Paredes is hitting .208 with two home runs, six walks and three strikeouts over his last 10 games. Vidal Brujan will start at second base and bat ninth.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Blue Jays' Matt Chapman: Still out Sunday

    Chapman (wrist) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Tigers.

    Chapman didn't play Saturday due to wrist soreness, an issue that is still bothering him. He hopes to be back in the lineup Monday or Tuesday, per Mitch Bannon of SI.com. Santiago Espinal moves to third base while Cavan Biggio starts at second base.

  • Tyler Nevin 3B | ATH

    Orioles' Tyler Nevin: Hits go-ahead homer

    Nevin went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Royals.

    Nevin gave the Orioles a 4-3 lead with his sixth-inning blast off Royals starter Daniel Lynch. In his last three games, Nevin is 3-for-10 with a pair of walks and three strikeouts. The 25-year-old is typically a utility man, but he has a chance to play regularly at third base with Ramon Urias (oblique) on the injured list. Nevin is slashing .237/.322/.329 with two homers, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and a double through 87 plate appearances.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Blue Jays' Matt Chapman: Battling sore wrist

    Chapman is dealing with wrist soreness, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The injury seemingly explains both why Chapman wasn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers and why he wasn't available to pinch hit with his side trailing in the ninth inning. As long as his diagnosis remains nothing worse than soreness, Chapman probably won't miss too many more games, but it's unclear whether or not he'll return to the lineup for Sunday's series finale.

  • Ryan Kreidler SS | MIN

    Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Back in action

    Kreidler (hand) returned to the lineup for Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

    Kreidler returned from hand surgery in late May but appeared in just two games before being shut down again for nearly two weeks. He's ready to go again now and will look to build on his .243/.333/.446 slash line through his first 20 games.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Out of Saturday's lineup

    LeMahieu is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cubs.

    LeMahieu is the odd man out, with Gleyber Torres starting at second base and Josh Donaldson starting at the hot corner. LeMahieu is hitting .281 with two home runs in eight games this month.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: To IL with oblique strain

    Urias was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left oblique strain.

    Richie Martin's contract was selected from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Tyler Nevin has been starting at third base in recent days with Urias unavailable.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Transferred to 60-day IL

    Lewis (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

    It was reported Friday that Lewis would miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL, so Saturday's transaction was made to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Given the timing of the injury, don't expect to see Lewis back on the field until sometime next summer.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Twins' Gio Urshela: Gets breather Saturday

    Urshela is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Urshela went 13-for-40 (.325) over his last 11 games, but he will get a day off after making five straight starts. Jose Miranda will man the hot corner in Urshela's place.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Hitless in return

    Rendon went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's loss to the Mets.

    Rendon was activated from the injured list prior to the game and started at third base while batting third in the order. The veteran worked a walk in his third plate appearance but otherwise didn't make an impact offensively. Rendon is batting .237 on the season, putting him on pace for his worst average as a major-leaguer. He hit just .240 over 217 at-bats last season.
