The Tigers optioned Nevin to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

Zach Short will remain on the active roster after being called up from Toledo to serve as the 27th man for Detroit's doubleheader against the Orioles on Saturday. In 27 plate appearances with the big club this season, Nevin slashed .091/.222/.227.

Sosa is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Astros.

Sosa tallied two doubles and two runs scored in the Phillies' defeat of the Astros on Friday, but he'll grab some rest Saturday in the second game of the three-game set at Minute Maid Park. Alec Bohm is at third base and Kody Clemens will play first.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Red Sox.

Ramirez went 14 games without a steal after logging four thefts in his first 11 contests this season. The third baseman has a solid .273/.362/.475 slash line with three home runs, five steals, 16 RBI, 13 runs scored, nine doubles and a triple through 26 games in his usual everyday role.

Muncy went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks, a run and an RBI in Friday's 7-3 win over St. Louis.

Muncy spent time on the paternity list this week before being activated ahead of Friday's contest. The third baseman picked up where he left off prior to his brief absence, drawing multiple walks for the fourth time in his past seven games. Over that stretch, Muncy is slashing .375/.630/1.188 with four homers, five runs and seven RBI.

Maggi was optioned Saturday to Triple-A Indianapolis but will remain with the Pirates as the 27th man for their doubleheader against the Nationals.

Maggi gets one more day in the majors before heading back down to the farm Sunday. The career minor-leaguer appeared in a big-league lineup for the first time Thursday at age 33. He went 0-for-3.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Rays.

His second-inning shot off Zach Eflin proved to be the last gasp of offense Chicago could manage off Tampa Bay pitching. Burger has a clear path to regular playing time at third base with Yoan Moncada (back) not expected to return for at least a few more weeks, and the 27-year-old has earned it by slashing .259/.349/.722 through 63 plate appearances with four doubles, seven homers and 13 RBI.

Paredes went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 3-2 win over the White Sox.

After raking Lucas Giolito for a pair of two-baggers earlier in the game, Paredes played hero in the top of the ninth inning by crushing a 1-0 pitch from Kendall Graveman deep to left field. Paredes has three multi-hit performances in his last four games, and the streaky 24-year-old sports a .253/.326/.446 slash line through 92 plate appearances with four homers, 15 runs and 18 RBI. Few Tampa Bay position players have true everyday roles, but Paredes' work both at the plate and in the field has allowed him to start 21 of the Rays' 27 games to date.

Miranda went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's victory over Kansas City.

After slashing just .226/.287/.247 through the first 24 games of the season, Miranda has hit three home runs in his last three contests. The slow start didn't impact his job security as he's played in every game for the Twins, with 22 starts at third base and two at designated hitter.

Urshela went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Friday's loss to Milwaukee.

Urshela drove in the Angels' only run of the night with a fourth-inning single. He was on base three times Friday, but the Angels couldn't bring him home. Urshela is batting .297, but he has just one homer and is slugging .352 in 2023.

The Dodgers activated Muncy (personal) off the paternity list Friday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Muncy ended up being out of the lineup for three days while on paternity leave. Luke Williams was sent down to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding transaction.
