Burger (quad) is in the lineup for the Marlins' series opener versus the Brewers on Friday.

Burger had to be removed from Wednesday's contest against the Mets with right quad tightness, but he won't have to miss any starts after getting an off day Thursday to recover. The slugger is playing third base and batting fifth for the Marlins on Friday.

The Rays selected Caminero's contract from Double-A Montgomery on Friday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

One of the top prospects in all of baseball, Caminero will skip the Triple-A level and report to the big leagues after turning 20 in July. He earned the promotion by slashing .324/.384/.591 with 31 home runs and 94 RBI between High-A Bowling Green and Montgomery, with 20 of those homers coming at the Double-A level. While primarily a third baseman, Caminero has experience at all four infield positions and could potentially take over at shortstop for the Rays.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.

Ramirez has multiple hits in seven of his last 14 games, going 20-for-56 (.357) while adding three home runs and five steals in that span as he continues to be a true five-category contributor. The third baseman is slashing .279/.354/.481 with 24 homers, 27 thefts, 79 RBI and 84 runs scored across 148 games this season, numbers that represent a bit of a down year for the 31-year-old.

Davis isn't starting Thursday against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

After going 2-for-11 with an RBI and three runs scored across his last four games, Davis will get a day to rest Thursday. His absence will allow Wilmer Flores to start at third base and bat second.

Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Cleveland.

Urias started Wednesday in Houston, but he's now been in the lineup just three times over the Orioles' last 10 contests. Adam Frazier is at second base and Jordan Westburg will patrol third Thursday.

Vargas isn't in the Nationals' lineup Thursday against Atlanta, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Although the switch-hitting Vargas holds a .773 OPS against left-handed pitchers this season, he'll get a day off against Max Fried on Thursday. Carter Kieboom will start at third base instead while batting fifth.

Peraza is not in the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Peraza will get a day of rest after making seven straight starts at third base while going 6-for-27 (.222) with a homer and a double. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is manning the hot corner for the Yankees in Thursday's series finale versus Toronto.

Donaldson is not in the lineup Thursday at St. Louis.

This looks to be a planned day of rest for the 37-year-old third baseman, who slugged a three-run homer in the Brewers' 8-2 win over the Cardinals on Wednesday. Andruw Monasterio will man the hot corner and bat sixth in Thursday's series finale.

Muncy went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Tigers.

Muncy's blast got the Dodgers on the board in the sixth inning against Tigers starter Reese Olson. It also extended Muncy's hitting streak to 11 games, though he's gone 13-for-43 (.302) with just two multi-hit efforts in that span. The infielder matched his career high with his 36th homer of the season, and he's got a decent chance to set a new personal best with 11 contests left on the schedule. He's added a .213/.335/.496 slash line with 102 RBI, 89 runs scored, a stolen base, 16 doubles and a triple through 126 games this season.

Hayes went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's 13-7 win over the Cubs.

Hayes has five multi-hit efforts over his last seven games, going 13-for-29 (.448) in that span. He's produced one home run, five RBI and a stolen base in that span. The third baseman has been steady this season, batting .276 with a .771 OPS, 14 homers, 60 RBI, 59 runs scored and 10 stolen bases through 116 contests overall. With his three-hit effort Wednesday, he now has a career-high 126 hits for the season.
