Urshela was added to the active roster prior to Saturday's game against Boston.

In order to make room for Urshela on the 25-man roster, Dalton Pompey was sent back to Triple-A Buffalo. Urshela will serve as a reserve infielder after coming over from Cleveland earlier this week.

Moustakas was 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 10-9 victory over Cleveland.

Moustakas hit an RBI double during the Royals' three-run sixth inning to help overcome a 9-4 deficit. The 29-year-old has continued his strong start to the season and is slashing .301/.335/.569 with 10 home runs and 29 RBI in 153 at-bats.

Ramirez was 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Friday's loss to the Royals.

The 25-year-old gave the Indians an early 2-0 lead with the two-run shot in the first inning, driving in Michael Brantley. Ramirez has a .287/.374/.587 slash line with 11 home runs and only 16 strikeouts in 143 at-bats this season.

Machado went 2-for-4 with two home runs and six RBI in Friday's 9-4 win over the Rays.

After launching a two-run shot off Jake Faria in the first inning, Machado blew the game open with a grand slam off Ryne Stanek in the seventh, giving him 12 homers on the year and 150 for his career. Machado now boasts a .354/.440/.667 slash line on the season, and his plate discipline has taken a huge step forward -- he now has a 23:21 BB:K through 38 games, putting him on pace for career bests in walk rate and strikeout rate.

Devers is not in Friday's lineup against the Blue Jays, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.

Devers will get a breather following 12 straight starts, during which he's hit .255/.269/.471 with three home runs, five RBI and 16 strikeouts. Eduardo Nunez will man third base in his place while Brock Holt gets a start at second. Expect Devers back in the lineup Saturday.

Alvarez (hamstring) is not in the lineup against Tampa Bay on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Alvarez was forced to leave Thursday's contest with a hamstring cramp and will remain on the bench for the series opener. It doesn't appear as though this is anything more than a minor injury, so consider him day-to-day ahead of Saturday's doubleheader.

Segura went 4-for-6 with a double and two runs in a win over the Blue Jays on Thursday.

Dee Gordon was given the night off to rest a sore toe, pushing Segura into the leadoff spot. He turned in a performance befitting of the role, setting the table throughout the night in the blowout win. The hot-hitting shortstop has boosted his average a whopping 45 points over the last two games of the series against the Blue Jays, going 7-for-11 with a pair of two-baggers, an RBI and three runs.

Senzel (vertigo) was placed on the 7-day disabled list at Triple-A Louisville, David Jablonski of the Dayton Daily News reports. "We are being very cautious with Nick. He's had this before. We feel we've got a good treatment plan in place. We do think it's realistic to expect to see him back on the field in fairly short order," general manager Dick Williams said.

The Reds plan to activate Senzel when he is symptom free, and based on Williams' comments, it sounds like that could be later in May. There is no denying his talent when he is on the field, and the only knock against him as a long-term fantasy asset is that he has now missed time with vertigo twice in less than a 10-month span (he was shut down in late August last year with the same ailment). The Reds' top prospect, who has been a third baseman for most of his pro career, was moved to second base this year, as he is blocked by Eugenio Suarez at the hot corner in Cincinnati. Senzel was hitting .271/.351/.459 with three home runs and three steals in 97 plate appearances prior to exiting the game May 3 with dizziness. Once healthy, he could earn a promotion to the majors this summer, but his health issues cloud his timetable for advancement.

Kieboom went 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, five RBI and a walk in Thursday's game for High-A Potomac.

He got off to a slow start to the season, but is hitting .350 with two home runs and a 4:9 K:BB over his last 40 at-bats, which has upped his season line to .243/.360/.412. Any opportunity to buy low has probably passed at this point, as Kieboom appears to be rounding into form.

Machado went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and drew a pair of walks in Thursday's win over the Royals.

Machado broke out of a mini-slump Thursday by getting on base four times and going yard for the first time this month. He's slashing .350/.439/.629 on the year with 10 home runs and nine doubles. Machado has also walked (23) more than he's struck out (21) through 37 games.
