  • Ramon Urias 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Activated, starting at third base

    The Orioles activated Urias (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

    The 30-year-old missed the last three weeks of action with a sprained ankle but has been cleared to return after going 3-for-9 with a home run in three rehab contests with Triple-A Norfolk. Urias is starting at third base and batting eighth Sunday versus the Tigers in his return to action.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Returns from IL, starting at 2B

    The Orioles activated Westburg (hand) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

    Westburg hasn't played since July due to a fractured right hand but is ready to roll after reaching base six times and hitting a home run in three rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk. He played second base twice and third base once at Norfolk and is starting at second base for the Orioles on Sunday in his return to the lineup. With Ramon Urias (ankle) also back from the IL, Jackson Holliday could be in line to see his playing time dip.

  • Jon Berti 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Jon Berti: Swipes bag, reaches three times

    Berti went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's win over Oakland. He was also hit by a pitch.

    Berti singled in his second trip to the plate before eventually stealing third as part of a double steal with Anthony Volpe. The infielder would go on to reach three times in the contest after also being hit by a pitch in the eighth, showing that he can be a solid contributor for the Yankees in his first start since May 24. It marked Berti's fourth multi-hit performance this season, while the stolen base was his fifth on the campaign.

  • Ezequiel Duran 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Starts at third base

    Duran started at third base and went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Mariners.

    Duran got the nod at the hot corner as Josh Jung (wrist/hand) was unavailable for a second consecutive game. Jonathan Ornelas and Duran have filled in for Jung the last two games and could finish out the season in that role. Saturday's loss eliminated the Rangers from the postseason, which could prompt the team to shut down Jung for the rest of the season.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Goes deep again Saturday

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double Saturday in a loss to the Cardinals.

    Ramirez helped Cleveland mount a late rally, belting a three-run shot to left field in the eighth inning to reduce a five-run deficit to just two runs. The star third baseman has homered in each of his past two games and has gone 5-for-8 with five RBI during the pair of contests. Ramirez's long ball Saturday was his 37th of the season, bring him to within two of the career-best mark of 39 that he established in 2018.

  • Josh H. Smith 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Smith: Homers in loss

    Smith went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Mariners.

    Smith singled in the first inning and then tied the game with a two-run blast in the third. The long ball was his first since Aug. 5, but he has now hit safely in five straight contests. On the season, the 27-year-old is hitting .262 with 13 homers, 59 RBI, 64 runs scored and 10 steals across 564 plate appearances.

  • Jazz Chisholm 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Getting breather against LHP

    Chisholm isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Saturday's game against Oakland.

    Chisholm will get a day off Saturday as the Yankees opt to sit most of their left-handed bats against southpaw JP Sears. Jon Berti will take over at the hot corner and bat sixth.

  • Rafael Devers 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Lands on injured list

    The Red Sox placed Devers on the 10-day injured list Saturday with left shoulder inflammation, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    Devers received an MRI on both of his shoulders Saturday and will officially land on the IL with a left shoulder issue, even though manager Alex Cora said Friday that the third baseman's right shoulder was the main concern. Either way, his move to the injured list will officially put an early end to his season. Romy Gonzalez and Nick Sogard will split reps at third base the rest of the way, and Mickey Gasper will come up from Triple-A Worcester to fill the open spot on the active roster.

  • Ernie Clement 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Sitting Saturday

    Clement is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

    Clement will get Saturday off after making nine consecutive starts for Toronto. In his place, Leo Jimenez will play shortstop while Davis Schneider plays the keystone. Clement is 11-for-38 (.289) across his last 10 games.

  • Jace Jung 3B | DET

    Tigers' Jace Jung: Getting breather versus LHP

    Jung isn't in Detroit's lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    The lefty-hitting Jung will get a chance to rest Saturday as the Tigers prepare to face the lefty-throwing Cade Povich. Matt Vierling will start at the hot corner in Jung's stead, opening up right field for Wenceel Perez.
