Farmer went 4-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Cardinals.

The shortstop put together his third multi-hit performance in the last six games and his third four-hit effort of the season, although it didn't lead to much actual production. Farmer continues to build on last year's breakout and has found another gear in June, batting .353 (12-for-34) through 10 games with a homer, two steals, four runs and nine RBI.

Nevin went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Royals.

Nevin gave the Orioles a 4-3 lead with his sixth-inning blast off Royals starter Daniel Lynch. In his last three games, Nevin is 3-for-10 with a pair of walks and three strikeouts. The 25-year-old is typically a utility man, but he has a chance to play regularly at third base with Ramon Urias (oblique) on the injured list. Nevin is slashing .237/.322/.329 with two homers, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and a double through 87 plate appearances.

Riley went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Pirates.

Riley tied the game at 2-2 with his first-inning solo shot. He also hit a single and scored on an Ozzie Albies grand slam in the seventh. Through 10 games in June, Riley has gone 13-for-43 (.302), hitting safely in seven of those contests with four homers, 10 RBI and 10 runs scored. The third baseman continues to provide power with 16 homers and an .864 OPS while adding 35 RBI, 34 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases through 59 games this year. Half of his long balls this year have come since May 25.

Chapman is dealing with wrist soreness, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The injury seemingly explains both why Chapman wasn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers and why he wasn't available to pinch hit with his side trailing in the ninth inning. As long as his diagnosis remains nothing worse than soreness, Chapman probably won't miss too many more games, but it's unclear whether or not he'll return to the lineup for Sunday's series finale.

Kreidler (hand) returned to the lineup for Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

Kreidler returned from hand surgery in late May but appeared in just two games before being shut down again for nearly two weeks. He's ready to go again now and will look to build on his .243/.333/.446 slash line through his first 20 games.

LeMahieu is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cubs.

LeMahieu is the odd man out, with Gleyber Torres starting at second base and Josh Donaldson starting at the hot corner. LeMahieu is hitting .281 with two home runs in eight games this month.

Longoria (hamstring) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

With lefty Clayton Kershaw on the hill, the righty-hitting Longoria would surely be in the lineup if he were up for it physically. Wilmer Flores starts at third base as Longoria sits after exiting Friday's game with left hamstring tightness.

Urias was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left oblique strain.

Richie Martin's contract was selected from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Tyler Nevin has been starting at third base in recent days with Urias unavailable.

Rosario has swatted three home runs and knocked in seven runs while going 7-for-14 over his past three games with Triple-A El Paso.

Rosario hit only .160 during his first six games in June, but he's turned things around considerably with his three-game hot stretch. The 22-year-old broke through with 12 homers and 30 stolen bases in 114 Double-A games last season and is on a similar pace with six long balls and 10 thefts through 54 games in his first Triple-A stint this year. He's striking out at a 23.7 percent clip but has balanced that with an above-average 10.5 percent walk rate.

Lewis (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

It was reported Friday that Lewis would miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL, so Saturday's transaction was made to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Given the timing of the injury, don't expect to see Lewis back on the field until sometime next summer.
