LeMahieu went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Thursday in a 10-7 victory versus Minnesota.

There were nine total homers hit between the two teams in the contest, and LeMahieu got in on the action with a solo shot to center in the fifth inning. The long ball was his second in June and fifth overall this season. LeMahieu is batting .308 (8-for-26) with seven RBI and six runs in seven games this month.

Rendon (wrist) has been able to hit in a batting cage in addition to taking groundballs, Trent Rush of Angels Radio reports.

Rendon continues to take steps toward a return, though a definite timeline for his activation remains uncertain. He went on the 10-day IL with right wrist inflammation May 27 and has already exceeded the minimum required stay. Matt Duffy and Tyler Wade have logged the most time at third base while Rendon has been out.

Burger was removed from Thursday's game against the Dodgers prior to the ninth inning due to an apparent leg injury, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Burger appeared to be uncomfortable after fielding a grounder in the top of the sixth inning, and he seemed to be shaking out his leg while running the bases in the bottom of the eighth. The exact nature and severity of his injury aren't yet clear, but he was replaced defensively by Yoan Moncada in the top of the ninth inning. Burger was productive before leaving the game, as he went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, three runs, a walk and a strikeout.

Urias isn't starting Thursday against the Royals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Urias will get a day off after he went 1-for-10 with a homer, two runs and six strikeouts over the last three games. Tyler Nevin is starting at the hot corner and batting sixth.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with two walks in a win over the Astros on Wednesday.

The surging slugger has now reached safely in 11 consecutive games, a stretch during which he's forged an excellent .333/.440/.538 slash line while recording a pair of two-baggers, two home runs and nine RBI. Even when producing at that type of clip, Suarez remains saddled with his career-long albatross of inconsistent contact -- he's struck out at a 30.0 percent clip in the sample -- but the 30-year-old now appears on pace for a much better showing than the .198/.286/.428 tally he posted during 2021 campaign with Cincinnati.

Toro went 2-for-5 with a double and a run in a win over the Astros on Wednesday.

Toro stepped up with his first multi-hit effort since May 15 to help the Mariners to yet another win over the AL West-leading Astros. In the process, the 25-year-old snapped the 0-for-18 skid that had encompassed his last five games, but his unsightly .171/.224/.342 slash line is still dampening his fantasy value significantly.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.

Ramirez has recorded five of his nine steals this season in his last 11 games, despite hitting just .256 over that span. The third baseman continues to provide well-rounded production with a .285/.388/.611 slash line, 14 home runs, 54 RBI, 34 runs scored, 13 doubles and four triples through 227 plate appearances in an everyday role.

Moncada is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's contest against the Dodgers.

Moncada will get a breather after starting the first two games of the series, going 1-for-7 in those contests. Jake Burger will get the start at third base and bat fifth Thursday.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Burger provided the lone run for the White Sox by taking Tony Gonsolin yard in the fifth inning for his sixth homer of the season. He's quietly been a strong source of power of late, collecting four home runs, four doubles, 12 RBI and six runs scored across his last 11 appearances. He has also remained a regular in the lineup since the return of Yoan Moncada, though Burger could be in for another challenge for playing time when Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) is activated from the injured list.

Paredes is not in the starting lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

He will take a seat for a second consecutive game Thursday as Vidal Brujan will get another start at second base and bat ninth. Paredes is currently in the middle of a 2-for-17 dry spell, so it's possible the Rays are giving him an extra day of rest to get right.
