Walls will sit Saturday against Seattle, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Walls hits the bench after starting 10 straight games, a stretch in which he hit just .143/.231/.286. Isaac Paredes will take over at the hot corner.

Madrigal will sit for the second part of Saturday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Madrigal went 0-for-3 in the first game of the day, dropping his season average to .225. Jonathan Villar will get the start at second base in the nightcap.

Davis isn't starting Saturday against the Phillies.

Davis will get a breather after going 2-for-6 with a double, an RBI and two walks over the last three games. Dominic Smith will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth.

Urshela isn't starting Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Urshela will get a breather after he went 2-for-13 with two doubles, a run and an RBI over the last four games. Jose Miranda will start at the hot corner and bat fifth.

Machado went 2-for-3 with a walk, run, RBI and stolen base in a 3-2 win against Miami on Friday.

Machado walked and scored in the first inning, singled and stole second in the fourth and singled home a run in the fifth. That's now three two-hit games in his last four for the veteran third baseman, who boasts a diverse combination of seven home runs and six stolen bases in addition to leading the league with a .382 average.

Miranda went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the A's.

In his fifth career MLB game, Miranda got the Twins on the board by taking Zach Logue deep in the second inning for his first career homer. The 23-year-old also flashed his defensive chops -- with the bases loaded and one out in the ninth inning, Miranda snagged a slow chopper off the bat of Seth Brown and fired home just in time to get the force out and preserve Minnesota's lead. A third baseman by trade, Miranda has started four games at first base with Miguel Sano (knee) on the shelf, and it looks like he could remain there for a while. Just like this Twins team, he's young, scrappy and hungry, and Miranda's not throwing away his shot at proving he belongs in the majors.

Suarez went 2-for-3 with a two home runs, three RBI, three runs scored and two walks in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Rays.

Suarez got the Mariners on the board early with his two-run shot off of Matt Wisler in the first inning before tacking on a solo home run in the ninth. He's now up to six homers on the year with three over his last three appearances after snapping a 13-game drought. He's slashing .219/.318/.490 with 17 RBI through 110 plate appearances.

Anderson (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Bryan De La Cruz was recalled in a corresponding move. Anderson is without a timetable to return. He had heated up somewhat of late, slashing .267/.333/.467 with one home run in 30 at-bats over his last eight games.

Lewis will still be called up by the Twins on Friday despite the fact that Carlos Correa doesn't have a broken finger, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Lewis looked to be in line for an extended run as the Twins' shortstop, as reports from Thursday indicated that Correa had fractured his right middle finger after getting hit by a pitch. A CT scan Friday revealed that Correa hadn't in fact suffered a fracture, so he'll avoid the injured list for now. Lewis should get at least a start or two until Correa's swelling goes down, but he'll be in a fight for at-bats elsewhere on the diamond once Correa is ready to go.

Burger (soreness) is starting at third base and batting seventh Friday against the Red Sox.

Burger sat out Wednesday against the Cubs while dealing with some soreness after a collision with the wall in foul territory, but he'll rejoin the lineup coming off Thursday's scheduled off day. The 26-year-old had two hits Tuesday to end a streak of three straight games without a hit.
