Nevin (groin) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Nevin picked up his fifth consecutive start in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to Minnesota, but his night ended early after he experienced right groin soreness. The injury will keep him on the bench Wednesday, but the 24-year-old may have been headed for a reserve role moving forward anyway now that Trey Mancini is back in action after recently missing a few games with rib soreness.

Paredes went 1-for-2 with two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Athletics.

Paredes has drawn only one start since being recalled from Triple-A Durham on Sunday, though he entered Tuesday's game as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning. While he struck out in his initial plate appearance, Paredes redeemed himself with a two-run single in the following frame. There doesn't appear to be a consistent path to plate appearances for Paredes at this point, but he has collected two hits in first seven at-bats with the Rays.

The Royals recalled Rivera from Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

Kansas City optioned Rivera to Triple-A on Monday when the team needed to reduce its active roster from 28 to 26 men, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club just two days later since Carlos Santana (ankle) was moved to the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Though Santana's absence creates a void in the Royals' everyday lineup, Ryan O'Hearn and recent call-up MJ Melendez are expected to be bigger beneficiaries from playing-time standpoints than Rivera, who will likely serve as a utility infielder.

Burger went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Tuesday against the Cubs.

Burger entered the game having gone hitless in his last nine at-bats while striking out five times. While he struck out two more times Tuesday, Burger also drove in his seventh run of the season with an infield single in the second inning. Burger has seen an increased opportunity with Yoan Moncada (oblique) sidelined, though the former has struggled to a .250/.270/.383 line across 64 plate appearances. Burger's playing time is also likely to diminish significantly in the near future, as Moncada is currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte and could be activated from the injured list as early as Wednesday.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's victory over the Angels.

The third baseman took Noah Syndergaard deep in the bottom of the fourth inning, putting the Red Sox up 1-0. The long ball was his fourth of the season and he is now up to 10 RBI as well. Devers has posted a .297/.311/.485 slash this season and has been putting the ball in play consistently over 101 at-bats, posting a career-low strikeout percentage to this point.

Nevin was removed from Tuesday's game against the Twins with right groin soreness, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old went 0-for-1 with an RBI and was hit by a pitch before being pulling during the sixth inning. He was making his fifth straight start Tuesday since Ryan Mountcastle and Trey Mancini have dealt with some injuries of late but are now healthy, so Nevin's playing time is likely to dip regardless of the severity of the injury.

LeMahieu is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

The Yankees will roll out an infield of Anthony Rizzio, Gleyber Torres, Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Josh Donaldson while LeMahieu sits for only the third time this season. While starting in each of the Yankees' last 14 games, LeMahieu slashed .304/.361/.411 over 56 at-bats.

Urias is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Urias went 2-for-13 with a double, a walk, two runs and an RBI while starting each of the past four games for Baltimore. He'll get a routine maintenance day Tuesday, allowing Tyler Nevin to stick in the lineup as Baltimore's third baseman.

Prieto (hamstring) was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Prieto sustained a Grade 1 right hamstring strain Friday and will miss at least a week due to the injury. However, the Orioles are optimistic that the 22-year-old will be back in action following a short-term stay on the injured list.

Urshela is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

He'll give way at third base to Jose Miranda, who will make his MLB debut Monday after his call-up from Triple-A St. Paul. The addition of Miranda presents some competition for Urshela, though the 23-year-old prospect may also see at-bats at second base, first base or designated hitter. Urshela's absence from the lineup may be a byproduct of his 0-for-13 showing at the dish over his past three starts, but he's still holding down a serviceable .258 average on the season.
