Paris went 1-for-3 with two RBI in a 5-2 win against Detroit on Saturday.

Paris plated a pair of runs with a sixth-inning single for his first RBI since April 9 -- a span of 18 games. After a scorching start to the season, the 23-tear-old went into a major funk, batting just .111 with a 48.3 percent strikeout rate during his slump. Paris has shown small signs of emerging from the cold spell over his past two contests, going 2-for-6 with a double, though he's also struck out three times. Despite the lack of production, Paris has managed to hold onto a near-everyday spot in the Angels' lineup, but it remains to be seen whether his role will change when Yoan Moncada (thumb) is ready to return from the injured list.

Campbell (ribs) is starting at second base and batting cleanup Sunday against the Twins, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

The 22-year-old sat out the past three games due to rib discomfort, but he's ready to go for Sunday's series finale versus Minnesota. Campbell has been a force at the plate in his first 29 MLB games with four homers, two steals and a .301/.407/.495 slash line in 123 plate appearances.

Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Southpaw Garrett Crochet is taking the hill for Boston, so Julien will remain on the bench for a second straight game. Brooks Lee will cover second base while Julien sits.

Albies went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in a loss to the Dodgers on Saturday.

Albies notched his first three-hit performance of the campaign and also snapped a 14-game homerless streak while swiping his third bag over his past seven contests. The veteran second baseman has had a relatively quiet start to the season with a .248/.302/.395 slash line through 32 games, but he's provided both some pop and some speed with five long balls and five thefts while knocking in 14 runs and scoring 19 times.

Clemens went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over Boston.

Clemens, who started at second base and batted seventh, gave the Twins a two-run lead in the sixth inning, when he took Hunter Dobbins deep to right field for a two-run homer. It was Clemens' first home run of the season, and he's started in three of the Twins' last four games due to injuries to Willi Castro (oblique), Matt Wallner (hamstring), Luke Keaschall (forearm) and Royce Lewis (hamstring).

Schneemann went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Getting the start at second base and batting sixth with Jose Ramirez (ankle) needing the day off, Schneemann did his best J-Ram impression in his place. With the Guardians down 3-0 heading into the eighth inning, the 28-year-old utility player took Chad Green for a solo shot before launching a grand slam off Yimi Garcia in the ninth. Schneemann has seen his playing time pick up in recent weeks and has taken advantage, and he's now slashing .276/.344/.552 through 24 games with four homers, eight runs and nine RBI.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora believes Campbell (ribs) will be able to play Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Cora hoped Campbell would be able to play Saturday, but he was instead held out for a third consecutive game due to rib discomfort. David Hamilton has filled at second base for all three contests.

Torres (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting third against the Angels on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Torres did not start in Friday's series opener after tweaking his hamstring against the Angels on Thursday, and one day off has been enough for him to return to the lineup. He's started the season slashing .300/.360/.475 with four stolen bases, 13 runs scored, four home runs and 15 RBI in 89 plate appearances.

Lopez was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right ankle sprain Saturday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Lopez felt discomfort in the ankle Friday and was seen wearing a walking boot Saturday. After receiving test results, the second baseman seems likely to require a stint on the injured list since it's a moderate sprain.

The Dodgers recalled Kim from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

News of this move first circulated early Saturday, and it came to fruition with Tommy Edman (ankle) landing on the injured list. Kim isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup against Atlanta, as Chris Taylor is getting the start as Edman's replacement at second base. However, it wouldn't be surprising if Kim gets regular opportunities against right-handed pitchers while Edman is on the shelf.
