Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Athletics.

Ramirez's solo blast came in the bottom of the ninth inning, kicking off a three-run inning and helping Cleveland pick up a win. The three-hit effort bumped the third baseman's batting average up to .294. The home run was his second in as many games and his 16th on the season.

Paredes went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Twins.

Getting the start at second base and batting sixth, Paredes got the Rays on the board in the second inning by taking Devin Smeltzer deep. The 23-year-old has started eight of the last 11 games with Brandon Lowe (back) and Wander Franco (quadriceps) sidelined and been productive, with Paredes slashing .208/.355/.542 over that stretch with two doubles, two of his five homers on the year and a 6:3 BB:K in 31 plate appearances.

Urias was removed from Friday's lineup against the Royals due to left side discomfort, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Urias was scratched from Friday's lineup shortly before the start of the game, and the Orioles revealed after the matchup that his removal was due to a side issue. He'll be re-evaluated Saturday, while Tyler Nevin should see additional time at third base if Urias misses more games.

Nevin was added to the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Nevin was initially slated to get a day off Friday. However, he'll start at the hot corner and bat eighth after Ramon Urias (undisclosed) was a late scratch.

Urias was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals for an undisclosed reason, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

The Orioles haven't yet provided a reason for removing Urias from the lineup minutes before the start of the game. Tyler Nevin will start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Rendon (wrist) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting Friday against the Mets, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Rendon resumed hitting in a cage while also taking groundballs recently, and he's been cleared to start at third base during Friday's series opener against the Mets. The 32-year-old was sidelined since May 27 but will reclaim his job as the Angels' everyday third baseman now that he's been activated. Over 41 games prior to his absence, he slashed .242/.335/.403 with five homers, 23 RBI, 15 runs and two stolen bases.

Lewis has been diagnosed with a partially torn right ACL and will miss the remainder of the 2022 season, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Lewis also sustained a torn right ACL in February of 2021, and he carries a return timetable of approximately 12 months after sustaining the same injury last week. It's a devastating blow for the 23-year-old, who made his major-league debut in May and slashed .300/.317/.550 with two homers, five runs and five RBI over 12 games with the Twins. It seems unlikely that Lewis will be able to handle much work during spring training in 2023, but he'll attempt to return to the field by next summer.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with a double, a run, an RBI and a stolen base Thursday in a 10-7 win against the Twins.

Donaldson knocked in the game's first run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning, and he collected a pair of hits in the offense-heavy affair. In the seventh, the veteran singled and stole second base for his first theft since the 2019 season. Donaldson has followed a six-game hitless streak with a modest four-game hitting streak, and he is batting .313 (5-for-16) over the latter stretch.

Burger (leg) will bat fifth and serve as the designated hitter Friday against the Rangers.

Burger exited late in Thursday's game against the Dodgers due to an apparent leg injury, but whatever was ailing him evidently wasn't particularly serious. He's been in great form recently, going 8-for-16 with three homers across his last five games, so it's great news for the White Sox that he won't miss any time.

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

Ramirez and Josh Naylor went back-to-back in the fourth inning to tie the game at 2-2. With seven homers and a .754 slugging percentage in his last 18 games, Ramirez has turned up the power over the last few weeks. The third baseman has 15 long balls, 55 RBI, 35 runs scored and nine stolen bases while maintaining a .284/.388/.619 slash line through 53 contests.
