The Twins will place Lewis on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left hamstring strain, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Lewis sat out Saturday's contest while the Twins ran tests on the hamstring that he injured Friday. He'll now spend at least the next 10 days on the shelf, though the Twins may take extreme caution bringing the 26-year-old back from the injured list since this is already the second time this season he's strained his left hamstring. Brooks Lee will likely pick up most of the starts at third base until Lewis returns.

Vientos (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse early next week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Vientos landed on the injured list June 3 with a right hamstring strain, but he's been progressing quicker than initially expected and is now close to returning to a competitive setting. The Mets haven't specified how long they plan on keeping the 25-year-old infielder in the minors, though a return to Queens before the end of the month seems likely.

DeJong (orbital) will meet with his surgeon Saturday and could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment early next week, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

DeJong has been out since taking a Mitch Keller fastball to the face April 15. He faced live pitching Wednesday for the first time since the incident, and came away feeling ready to ramp back up. Manager Dave Martinez indicated that DeJong would be brought along slowly once he kicks off his rehab stint, but the 31-year-old infielder remains on track to rejoin the Nationals in early July.

Lewis (hamstring) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup versus Houston.

This was the expected outcome after Lewis left Friday's game in the ninth inning and was later diagnosed with a left hamstring strain. Manager Rocco Baldelli indicated after the contest that the team is going to run more tests on Lewis on Saturday, so a clearer picture of how much time the young slugger is slated to miss could emerge shortly. Brooks Lee is starting at third base for Minnesota on Saturday while Kody Clemens is back in the lineup at second base.

McKinstry isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

McKinstry has been on a tear since the start of June, slashing .325/.372/.525 with seven runs scored across 43 plate appearances. He'll get a chance to catch his breath Saturday, moving Javier Baez to third base while Trey Sweeney starts at shortstop.

Garcia went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-4 loss to the A's.

The 25-year-old infielder continues marching toward a breakout campaign. Garcia has slowed down a bit in June, but over his last 26 games he's slashing .340/.393/.526 with three homers, four steals, 14 runs, 14 RBI and a 12.1 percent strikeout rate -- an improvement of more than 10 points on his 2023 mark.

McMahon went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and an additional RBI in Friday's 12-4 loss to Atlanta.

McMahon set a season high in RBI while also tallying his fourth game with at least three hits in 2025. The veteran third baseman's overall fantasy upside may remain capped by a woeful Rockies lineup around him, but he's still been one of the team's lone bright spots recently. Over his last 60 plate appearances, McMahon is slashing .280/.383/.538 with three big flies, four doubles, seven RBI and five runs scored.

Wagaman went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and a two-run single in Friday's 11-9 win over the Nationals.

Wagaman gave the Marlins a 4-0 lead in the third with an RBI double to right field, and he added to the run total with a two-run single in the eighth that extended Miami's lead to three. It was Wagaman's 13th multi-hit game of the season, three of which have come over his last six outings. He has slashed .272/.302/.358 with one steal, four doubles, one home run and 10 RBI in 86 plate appearances over his last 20 games.

Lewis suffered a left hamstring strain during Friday's loss against the Astros, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Manager Rocco Baldelli said after the game that Lewis' hamstring "tested relatively well upon examination," but the team plans to run more tests on him Saturday. The oft-injured Lewis missed the first month-plus of the season due to a strain in the same hamstring, and it remains unclear if his latest flare-up will send him back to the injured list.

Paredes was diagnosed with a strained left hamstring Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

After Paredes injured his hamstring during Thursday's contest, manager Joe Espada said Friday that the 26-year-old infielder may need to miss a few additional games while he recovers, but the team is hopeful that he will be able to avoid spending time on the injured list. Mauricio Dubon is likely to pick up starts at the hot corner until Paredes is ready to rejoin the starting nine.
