Burger went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over Atlanta.

Burger has logged five multi-hit efforts in his last eight games, and he's added five homers, eight RBI and a double over that span. The infielder got Miami on the board with his third-inning solo shot and added another RBI with a single in the fifth as part of the comeback effort. Burger's power was largely absent early in the season, as he hit just four homers over his first 38 games, but he's up to 17 long balls, 46 RBI, 40 runs scored, no stolen bases and a .242/.288/.434 slash line through 88 contests this year.

The Angeles placed Rengifo on the 10-day injured list Saturday with right wrist inflammation.

Rengifo had his right wrist injury flare up in Friday's loss to the Mets and he'll now be forced to miss at least the next week. In a corresponding move, the Angels called up infielder Charles Leblanc from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Rengifo (wrist) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mets, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rengifo was removed from Friday's 5-1 loss early with right wrist irritation and he'll be forced to sit out Saturday. Brandon Drury will slide over to third base while Michael Stefanic enters the lineup at second base and bats ninth against New York.

Urshela is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Urshela will begin Saturday's game in the dugout after going 1-for-6 over the first two games of the series. Andy Ibanez will start at the hot corner and bat fifth against Royals right-hander Michael Lorenzen.

Garcia is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Garcia will get a breather Saturday after going 2-for-10 with two runs scored and two stolen bases over the first two games of the series. Michael Massey will start at second base and bat sixth.

Vargas went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Twins.

Vargas has immediately stepped into a significant role with his new club, and he served as the leadoff hitter Friday. His homer in the third inning marked his first hit with the White Sox and fourth long ball of the season.

Bride went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Atlanta.

Slotting in as the depleted Marlins' cleanup hitter for the third straight game, Bride went yard for the second time during that stretch and the second time this season as he took Spencer Schwellenbach deep in the first inning. Bride has gone 7-for-23 (.304) in seven games since being called back up from Triple-A in late July, but his 2:10 BB:K -- not to mention his career .204/.299/.264 slash line over 347 plate appearances in the majors -- makes it tough to trust that his current hot streak will last much longer.

Clement went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and three RBI in Friday's win over the Yankees.

Getting the start at third base and batting sixth, Clement delivered his fourth multi-hit performance in the last eight games. The 28-year-old old utility player has become a fixture at the hot corner thanks to a .281/.307/.448 slash line since the beginning of July with three homers, two steals, nine runs and 18 RBI in 26 contests.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 11-6 win over the Rangers.

Devers had another multi-hit effort to extend a hit streak to nine games. In seven of those nine contests he's had multiple knocks, including nine doubles, one triple and two home runs. That power surge has driven his season OPS to 1.002 (fourth in MLB).

Espinal started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Friday's 3-0 loss to San Francisco.

Espinal, who made a fifth consecutive start, saw an end to a nine-game hit streak (as a starter). He entered Friday's game in a 19-for-35 stretch over the previous 12 games, which led to an increase in playing time, including starts at third base the last two games. The primary starter at the hot corner, Noelvi Marte, is batting .177 since coming back from a suspension and could be susceptible to losing playing time to Espinal.
