LeMahieu (quad) remains out of the Yankees' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Twins.

LeMahieu felt some tightness in his quad Tuesday and will now sit out a second straight contest. He's considered day-to-day. The Yankees have Oswaldo Cabrera starting at third base in Thursday's series opener.

Farmer was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Twins on Thursday with a facial injury, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Farmer underwent surgery Wednesday on his lower lip and bottom teeth after being struck by a pitch in the face versus the White Sox. He was able to avoid a fractured jaw and a concussion, so things could have been worse. It's not clear when Farmer might be back.

Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Athletics, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

It's a routine day off after Urias had started each of the previous six contests. Gunnar Henderson is at third base and Adam Frazier is at second for Thursday's series finale.

Paredes is not in the Rays' lineup for Thursday's contest against the Red Sox.

It's a regular day off after he had started each of the last seven games. Paredes is off to an excellent start, posting a .925 OPS with three long balls.

Devers is absent from the Red Sox' lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

It's a routine day off for Devers with Tampa Bay throwing left-hander Jeffrey Springs. Bobby Dalbec will be at the hot corner and bat fifth Thursday.

Muncy went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in a 10-5 win over San Francisco on Wednesday.

Muncy entered the three-game series against the Giants with just one homer and a .121/.293/.212 slash line, but he turned things around quickly against his team's biggest rival. The third baseman feasted on San Francisco pitching to the tune of four homers and 11 RBI while going 5-for-9 in the series despite beginning the middle game on the bench. Muncy might be a surefire Hall of Famer if he could face the Giants every game -- he has 25 long balls and 55 RBI against them over 75 career contests spanning 296 plate appearances.

Arenado went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies.

Arenado has driven in multiple runs three times in his last five games. He's been excellent as usual to begin 2023, hitting safely in 11 of 12 games to start the season. The third baseman is slashing .327/.382/.490 with two homers, 13 RBI, six runs scored and two doubles through 55 plate appearances.

Maton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 10-inning loss to the Blue Jays.

Maton went deep in the fourth inning, giving him two long balls in as many days. The 26-year-old hit a career-high five home runs last season as a depth piece with the Phillies, but it seems like he'll see a lot more playing time with the Tigers this year, so he stands a good chance of surpassing that figure.

Farmer underwent successful surgery on his lower lip and bottom teeth Wednesday.

Farmer luckily avoided a fractured jaw after getting hit in the face in the fourth inning of Wednesday's 3-1 win over the White Sox. He's set to have external stitches removed in a week, making a stint on the 10-day injured list all but certain for the 32-year-old utility infielder. Kyle Garlick is a prime candidate to receive a call-up from Triple-A St. Paul to replace Farmer as a right-handed bat off the bench.

Bregman went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and two walks during Wednesday's victory over Pittsburgh.

Bregman has now extended his hitting streak to four games with a home run coming in each of his last two. After starting the year just 5-for-39 through his first nine games, the 29-year-old third baseman could finally be starting to heat up at the plate.
