Twins' Royce Lewis: Returns to minors
The Twins optioned Lewis to Triple-A St. Paul following Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Athletics, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
With Carlos Correa (finger) due to return from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Lewis' time as Minnesota's everyday shortstop was set to end, and the organization decided the 22-year-old was best off playing on a regular basis at Triple-A rather than more sporadically as a super-utility man in the big leagues. Lewis ended his first stint in the majors with a bang, going 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Tuesday to bring his OPS up to .889 through his first 11 MLB games. According to Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Lewis will see most of his action at shortstop as a he returns to Triple-A, though the Twins plan to move him around and give him some exposure to different positions in an effort to increase his pathways to at-bats when he makes his return to the big club.

Ramon Urias 3B | STL
Orioles' Ramon Urias: Homers in Tuesday's loss
Urias went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Yankees.
Urias got the Orioles on the board with a solo shot in the second inning. In the fourth, he forced an error that led to another run scoring. The 27-year-old has moved over to shortstop in the last two games to cover for Jorge Mateo (shoulder/chest), but he'll likely move back to third base full-time once his teammate is ready to play. Urias has hit safely in 11 of 14 games in May, though only two of those have been multi-hit efforts. He's up to a .212/.257/.317 slash line with two homers, nine RBI, eight runs scored and five doubles through 113 plate appearances.

Devers went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run in a 13-4 loss to Houston on Tuesday.
Devers opened the scoring with a solo home run in the first off Houston starter Jose Urquidy, doubled and scored in the third and tacked on a single in the fourth for his second three-hit game in his last three. The 25-year-old has an 11-game hit streak going, during which he's 20-for-45 with nine extra-base hits. Devers is currently fifth in MLB with a .333 average.

Matt Duffy 3B | TEX
Angels' Matt Duffy: Leaves early Tuesday
Duffy was removed from Tuesday's win over the Angels with a facial laceration after colliding with Adolis Garcia during the eighth inning, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Duffy was apparently mostly unaffected from the collision itself, but the ball popped out of his glove and struck him in the face, resulting in the laceration. The 31-year-old appears to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day.

Jean Segura 3B | CLE
Phillies' Jean Segura: Steals base, extends hit streak
Segura went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Padres.
The shortstop reached on an error in the bottom of the second and subsequently stole second base. Segura now has five swipes on the season, four of which have come in the last five games. He also extended his hit streak to 13 consecutive games Tuesday, adding a single in the bottom of the seventh. Over that stretch, Segura has batted .417 with four homers, nine RBI, 12 runs and four stolen bases. The hot stretch has raised his season-long batting average from .227 to .307 over 114 at-bats.

Jeimer Candelario 3B | LAA
Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Pops third home run
Candelario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-1 loss to the Rays.
Candelario hit his third home run of the season in the fifth inning, but as has often been the case this year, the Tigers struggled to get much else going offensively. The third baseman has contributed to those struggles at times with his .203 batting average, but he's at least been better in May with a .254 mark for the month. Candelario hit .271 in 2021 and .297 in 2020, so his track record suggests he'll continue trending upward.

Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN
Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Belts seventh homer Monday
Suarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Monday.
Suarez offered one of the few noteworthy moments for the Mariners' offense Monday, lacing a 382-foot solo shot to left field in the seventh. The slugger's homer marked his first time leaving the yard since May 6, and he's now hit safely in three of his last four games.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Sitting Game 2
Arenado is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Arenado went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Game 1 and will take a seat for the nightcap after starting 15 consecutive games. Brendan Donovan will shift to the hot corner while Edmundo Sosa starts at shortstop.

Jace Peterson SS | ARI
Brewers' Jace Peterson: Takes seat Tuesday
Peterson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
Peterson will head to the bench after starting seven of the last eight games while seeing action at three different positions. Andrew McCutchen (illness) is expected to return from the COVID-19 injured list later this week and close off a potential avenue to playing time in the outfield, but Peterson could continue to pick up starts in the infield if Willy Adames (ankle) is forced to the 10-day IL.
