Urshela went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-1 loss to Cleveland.

The infielder got the Yankees on the board in the third inning, but that was their only run of the game. Urshela has posted three multi-hit efforts in his last six games, going 8-for-22 (.364) in that span. He's up to a .261/.297/.418 slash line with 13 homers, 46 RBI, 35 runs scored and a stolen base through 397 plate appearances overall.

Urias (upper leg) was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Urias has battled the upper leg injury over the past few weeks and was scratched from Sunday's lineup after the injury flared up while going through warmups. Richie Martin will start at shortstop while Pat Valaika shifts to the keystone.

Walls (illness) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to an illness, and he'll remain on the bench for Sunday's contest. The 25-year-old is apparently dealing with a non-COVID-19 illness and should be considered day-to-day. Joey Wendle will remain at shortstop while Yandy Diaz starts at the hot corner.

Paredes was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The 22-year-old has been in the minors during the past month after recovering from a hip injury, and he'll rejoin the Tigers on Sunday with Derek Hill (knee) and Gregory Soto (finger) heading to the injured list.

Devers went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and an RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win over Baltimore.

Devers got the Red Sox on the board in the first inning, singling home Enrique Hernandez to cut the Orioles' lead to 2-1. He later added a double and another single for his first multi-hit game in nearly two weeks. Devers has gone yard just twice in his last 18 games, but he's still slashing a terrific .274/.351/.532 with 34 homers and 104 RBI in 612 plate appearances on the year.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, three runs scored and a pair of walks in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Yankees.

Ramirez put the finishing touches on Cleveland's offensive outburst, taking Andrew Heaney deep to left field in the eighth inning to make it an 11-1 game. It was the 34th long ball of the year for Ramirez, who is nine RBI away from reaching the century mark for the second time in his career. The 29-year-old superstar has put together hits in four consecutive games, going 6-for-13 (.462) during that stretch.

Donaldson went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

Donaldson homered yet again off the Blue Jays on Saturday, taking Steven Matz deep in the first inning to give the Twins a 2-0 lead. The 35-year-old will have plenty more opportunities to enact revenge against his former team this season, as Minnesota and Toronto will meet five more times before the year is out.

Walls was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers due to illness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls hasn't been placed on the COVID-19 injured list, so there's yet to be any indication that this is anything other than a normal sickness. Joey Wendle will take over at shortstop.

Maggi's contract was selected by the Twins on Saturday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

The 32-year-old was drafted all the way back in 2010 but has yet to make his major-league debut. He'll get his chance after hitting .261/.364/.486 with 16 homers and 12 steals in 86 games for Triple-A St. Paul, though his 31.0 percent strikeout rate suggests that expectations for him should be modest.

Urias will sit Saturday against Boston, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Urias has been hot at the plate recently, hitting .324/.419/.500 over his last 23 games, though his 30.2 percent strikeout rate over that stretch suggests he's due to regress. Pat Valaika takes over at second base Saturday.
