Miranda is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Miranda has produced three home runs while batting .318 over his last six starts, but his playing time could grow more scarce with Max Kepler recently returning from the restricted list and with Carlos Correa (illness) on track to come off the COVID-19-related injured list Wednesday. The rookie will be taking a seat Tuesday for only the third time in the Twins' last nine contests.

Rendon (wrist) took grounders before batting practice Monday, but a timetable for his return remains uncertain, the Associated Press reports.

Rendon has been showing improvement, and a recent medical evaluation indicated that he is healing as expected. The third baseman went on the 10-day injured list with right wrist inflammation May 27 and is eligible to return, but it appears that he'll need additional time before rejoining the big-league club. It's uncertain if Rendon will need to go on a rehab assignment once he's able to play.

Candelario was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder subluxation Tuesday.

Candelario suffered the injury Sunday against the Yankees. The transaction was backdated by one day, meaning Candelario will be eligible to return next Thursday, but it's not yet clear whether that's a potential target date. A subluxation is a minor dislocation, so the third baseman's recovery time will depend on just how minor his particular dislocation is. Harold Castro is the only other Tiger to play third base thus far this season, so he'll likely spend a fair amount of time there in Candelario's absence.

Toro is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

Toro will retreat to the bench after he went 2-for-19 with two runs and an RBI over his five games (four starts) since he returned from the 10-day injured list last Wednesday. With Taylor Trammell handling designated-hitter duties Monday in place of Toro, Dylan Moore will enter the starting nine in the outfield.

The Orioles promoted Henderson from Double-A Bowie to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

He'll be joined in Norfolk by fellow infield prospect Jordan Westburg, who also received a promotion from Bowie on Monday. The 20-year-old Henderson was slashing .312/.452/.573 with eight home runs and 12 stolen bases in 208 plate appearances at Bowie this season.

Paredes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the White Sox.

Paredes led off the fifth frame with his fourth home run of the season. He's hit just .161 across his last 10 games, yet has slugged .419 while also collecting six RBI and four runs scored. Paredes figures to maintain increased playing time due to the absences of Wander Franco (quadriceps) and Brandon Lowe (back), but he will also compete with Vidal Brujan and Taylor Walls to be in the lineup.

Walls went 1-for-4 on Sunday against the White Sox.

Walls returned from a three-game absence that was caused by a calf issue and hit ninth while starting at shortstop. With Wander Franco (quadriceps) and Brandon Lowe (back) sidelined, Walls should continue to get considerable playing time. However, he'll need to hit better to hold off Isaac Paredes, as Walls has hit just .087 with one RBI and three runs scored across his last 15 games.

Burger went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Rays.

Burger entered the starting lineup in place of Yoan Moncada, who was out for rest. Burger took advantage and drove in both his runs in the first frame on a ground rule double. He has delivered four extra-base hits in his last four starts and is seemingly challenging Gavin Sheets for playing time as designated hitter.

The Tigers will make a determination about whether Candelario (shoulder) needs to be placed on the injured list ahead of Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Candelario felt his shoulder shift when he dove and hit the ground before exiting Sunday's game. Hinch added that he doesn't want to play with a limited roster, so it sounds like an IL stint for Candelario is likely, although he will get a "battery of tests" before then, according to Hinch. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, that decision may not be made until Tuesday, as the Tigers are off Monday.

Chapman went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-6 loss to Minnesota.

Chapman hammered a solo shot in the seventh inning and scored a second run on Santiago Espinal's homer in the ninth. His 415-foot blast ended a 15-game homerless drought; he hit .245 with just four RBI during that span. On the year, Chapman is now slashing .215/.307/.373 with 14 extra-base hits through 52 contests.
