Paredes is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

After getting called up from the Tigers' alternate training site, Paredes started in each of the team's past three games at third base, going 1-for-9 with two walks, two RBI and a run scored. Willi Castro will get the nod at the hot corner Thursday, but expect Paredes to serve as the primary option at the position while he's up with the big club.

The Astros placed Bregman (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

He'll leave the Astros' ongoing road trip and return to Houston to undergo an MRI on his strained right hamstring, an injury he sustained in Wednesday's win over the Rockies. Bregman becomes the third major Houston hitter to land on the IL in the past week, joining Yordan Alvarez (knee) and Michael Brantley (quadriceps). A clearer timeline for Bregman's return should become available once his MRI results are read, but while he's sidelined, Abraham Toro, Jack Mayfield and Yuli Gurriel are the main candidates to see more time at third base.

Bregman (hamstring) is not in Thursday's lineup against the Rockies, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Given that he was diagnosed with a strained right hamstring after leaving Wednesday's game, it's not surprising to see him out of the lineup the next day. Abraham Toro will start at third base and hit seventh.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's loss against the Giants.

The Angels' offense went 6-for-33 against Giants pitching, and Rendon produced two of those hits, including one of the team's two extra-base knocks. The star third baseman got off to a slow start this season but has turned things around this month, and he is currently riding a nine-game hitting streak in which he's slashing .469/.553/.1.031 with five homers, nine RBI and a 1.584 OPS.

Toro entered Wednesday's game when third baseman Alex Bregman was removed with a hamstring injury. He went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in a 13-6 win over the Rockies.

Toro entered as a pinch runner in the fourth inning when Bregman limped into second base with a double. He's the top backup at third base with Aledmys Diaz (groin) unavailable. Bregman is not expected to play Thursday's series finale, so Toro, who had served as the designated hitter the previous three games, could return to the starting lineup.

Devers went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and an RBI double during Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.

The 23-year-old had his second consecutive three-hit game, and his run production Wednesday proved to be the difference in the contest. Devers is off to a slow start with a .231/.278/.407 slash line through 23 games, but he's shown signs of life over the past week, going 11-for-31 with five extra-base hits.

Donaldson (calf) took grounders at third base before batting practice on Wednesday and was scheduled to do some running, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. "The running and the movement and any sort of agility work would be certainly a step up from where we've been," said manager Rocco Baldelli.

He suffered the calf injury on July 31 and at first the injury was thought to be minor. He then was later placed on the 10-day IL retroactive to Aug. 4. His comeback from the injury had been stalled until earlier this week. While he's making progress, there's still no timetable for his return.

Bregman was diagnosed with a strained right hamstring after leaving Wednesday's win over the Rockies, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman sustained the injury running out a double during the fourth inning and was quickly removed after limping into second base. Manager Dusty Baker said he expects the 26-year-old to "be more sore in the morning than he is now," so he seems unlikely to be in the lineup for Thursday's series finale.

Ramirez went 0-for-3 but drew two walks, scored two runs, and stole two bases Wednesday against the Pirates.

Ramirez was hitless but found other ways to be productive, coming around to score both times he reached base on free passes. His pair of his stolen bases came in the eighth inning, when he stole second and third base one batter apart. Ramirez now has five stolen bases for the season, and is hitting .256/.364/.500 with five home runs, 19 runs scored and 18 RBI across 107 plate appearances.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the White Sox.

Detroit changed up its lineup in this one, moving Candelario up to the leadoff spot for the first time this season. The 26-year-old responded with a strong performance, and he's looked better lately after a slow start to the year. Over his last 12 games, Candelario is batting .327 with two home runs, eight RBI and 10 runs scored.
