Devers went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.

With his little brother, Jose, getting the start at shortstop for Miami, Devers showed him how it was done, collecting his fifth multi-hit effort in the last 12 games. The 24-year-old is hitting .326 (15-for-46) over that stretch with five homers, 11 runs and 13 RBI.

Moncada went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and an additional run scored in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

Moncada reached base in three of his four plate appearances and made the most of his lone knock, as he blasted his fourth long ball of the campaign during the sixth inning off reliever Shawn Armstrong. Moncada ended a poor stretch in the opening game of the twin bill, as he had gone 2-for-14 in his previous four contests.

Urshela will sit Saturday against the Tigers.

Urshela is technically sitting for the second time in three days, though he did start the nightcap of Thursday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays after sitting for the afternoon game. DJ LeMahieu will shift over to third base in his absence, with Mike Ford starting at first.

Walls isn't starting Saturday's game against the Phillies, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games after he went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk Thursday. Joey Wendle will shift to shortstop while Yandy Diaz starts at third base.

Nevin was recalled by the Orioles on Friday and will make his big-league debut against the White Sox, batting eighth and playing first base.

Nevin joined the Orioles last season in the Mychal Givens trade. He had some decent numbers in the Rockies' system prior to the move but isn't a highly rated prospect and hit just .212/.260/.470 in his first taste of Triple-A action in 17 games for Norfolk this year.

Moncada is not in the lineup Friday against Baltimore.

Moncada is 2-for-14 with four walks and five strikeouts over the past five games, and he'll head to the bench for the third time this season. Danny Mendick will start at the hot corner Friday for the White Sox.

Toro (oblique) was activated from the 7-day injured list and will be in the lineup Friday for Triple-A Sugar Land, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old landed on the minor-league injured list in early May with a strained right oblique, but he'll make his season debut for Sugar Land on Friday. Toro appeared in six games for the Astros in April and went 1-for-12 with one walk.

Groshans went 2-for-5 with his first home run of the season for Double-A New Hampshire on Thursday.

Out since May 18 while managing a sore back, Groshans made a quick impact in his return to the lineup Thursday. The 21-year-old has a seven-game hitting streak extending back to before his layoff, and he's slashing .261/.358/.370 with a 7:15 BB:K through 12 contests in his first look at upper-minors pitching.

Madrigal batted leadoff for a second consecutive day and went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Thursday's 5-1 win over Baltimore.

He filled in at leadoff for Tim Anderson, who sat out games Wednesday and Thursday due to a sore left thumb. Madrigal reached base seven times in 10 plate appearances during those two games and has a .908 OPS when batting leadoff this season. Anderson is due back Friday, so Madrigal could return to his customary nine hole, or bat second if Adam Eaton (hamstring) remains out.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Thursday's 5-2 win over Detroit.

The third baseman has been a bit cold in the last week, going 5-for-25 (.200) with two doubles, an RBI and five runs scored in his last seven games. Ramirez's multi-hit effort Thursday was his first since May 15. The 28-year-old has a .256/.347/.535 slash line with 12 home runs, 26 RBI, 34 runs scored and six stolen bases through 199 plate appearances.
