Urshela went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.

Urshela's 424-foot blast off Jesus Luzardo broke a 4-4 tie in the eighth inning and helped put an end to the Athletics' seven-game winning streak. The long ball was the fourth of the month for Urshela, who has compiled a stellar .902 OPS through 16 games in June.

Rendon (triceps) went 0-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in Saturday's 8-3 win over Detroit.

The third baseman was the only Angels starter that failed to record a hit in Saturday's contest. Rendon had been out since Tuesday with a strained right triceps. Prior to the injury, he had hit safely in 10 of 12 games, but he may need a couple days to round back into form at the plate.

Rendon (triceps) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers, batting fourth and playing third base.

Rendon exited Monday's game against the Athletics with the tricep issue and hasn't played since. He's progressed throughout the week, however, and feels ready to rejoin the lineup Saturday.

Paredes was recalled by the Tigers on Saturday.

The 22-year-old spent six days on the major-league roster earlier in June before getting optioned on Monday. He grabbed just three hits in six games and now owns a career .207/.273/.306 slash line in 132 plate appearances at the highest level. Niko Goodrum (finger) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Donaldson (calf) remains sidelined Saturday against the Rangers.

Calf issues are unfortunately nothing new for the veteran third baseman. His latest such problem popped up Wednesday against the Mariners, causing him to exit in the first inning. He'll sit for the second straight game, with Luis Arraez taking over at the hot corner.

Ramirez (foot) will not start Saturday's game against the Pirates, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Ramirez left Friday's game after getting struck in the foot by a pitch. It's not yet clear how much time he's expected to miss, but he'll sit for at least one contest, with Yu Chang taking over at the hot corner.

Astudillo was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Astudillo hadn't been receiving regular opportunities for the Twins, as his start at third base Friday against the Rangers was his first in 10 days. He was sent down to make way for the return of Byron Buxton (hip), though he'll likely be one of the first few names called upon if the team needs another bat in the future.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 loss to Kansas City.

The third baseman took Kansas City reliever Scott Barlow deep to center field in the eighth inning. In his last seven games, Devers has gone 11-for-29 (.379) with two homers, eight RBI and seven runs scored. The 24-year-old is slashing .283/.348/.574 with 17 homers, 56 RBI, 47 runs scored and three stolen bases across 279 plate appearances overall.

LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Athletics.

LeMahieu had lackluster results at the plate to begin the season, but he blasted his fifth home run of the year Friday and has now recorded four extra-base hits across the last seven games. During that time, he's gone 10-for-30 with two homers, two doubles, six RBI and four runs.

Ramirez was diagnosed with a left foot contusion after leaving Friday's game against the Pirates, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Ramirez immediately limped off the field after he was hit by a pitch in the top of the eighth inning. Prior to his departure, he went 0-for-2 with a run, a walk and a strikeout. If the 28-year-old misses any additional time, Yu Chang and Ernie Clement could see increased at-bats.
