Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Smith will take a seat for the second game in a row, and the rookie seems to be losing his grasp on an everyday role after slashing just .205/.303/.359 over his first 89 big-league plate appearances. Zach Dezenzo has been swinging a hotter bat of late and seems to be getting prioritized in right field ahead of Smith, who could be headed to Triple-A Sugar Land in the near future if he's unable to turn things around.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

It's the first day off this season for Paredes, who has hits in 11 of the past 13 games and has a .292/.382/.438 slash line with four extra-base hits and a 7:6 BB:K during that span. Mauricio Dubon will shift to third base while Brendan Rodgers receives a start at the keystone.

Clement is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Clement will take a seat for the second game in a row and could be moving into more of a part-time role against right-handed pitching while the Blue Jays look to open up more playing time at third base for Addison Barger, who draws the start Sunday. Barger is capable of playing the corner outfield as well, so Clement could see his opportunities against right-handed pitching pick up if he performs well enough to warrant more at-bats. Clement has thus far offered little to get excited about for fantasy purposes, slashing just .225/.259/.275 with zero home runs and one steal over 86 plate appearances on the season.

Caminero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

He'll head to the bench for the first time since April 5 in what appears to be a planned rest day after 25 straight starts. Curtis Mead will fill in at third base Sunday, giving Caminero a chance to hit the reset button after a 1-for-16 stretch at the plate has brought his batting average down to .240.

Ramirez (ankle) is starting at third base and batting third against the Blue Jays on Sunday.

The 32-year-old was held out of Saturday's starting nine after he suffered an ankle sprain during Friday's contest, but he'll end up missing only one game. Ramirez is in the midst of a 10-game homer drought during which he has a .270/.289/.297 slash line with one double and five steals.

Wilson started at third base and went 0-for-2 in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Jose Ramirez was shelved after spraining his right ankle during Friday's game, which opened up the hot corner for Wilson. The Guardians have multiple options currently on the roster to fill in at third, but Ramirez's injury is not considered serious. Wilson has gone 3-for-16 with two walks and a run scored since being called up in April.

The Orioles placed Urias on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right hamstring strain, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Urias' hamstring has prevented him from playing since Friday, and now that he's on the IL, it will continue to keep him on the sidelines until at least May 13. Coby Mayo was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move and will presumably get regular work at third base until Urias or Jordan Westburg (hamstring) returns.

Urias (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Urias was a late scratch from Friday's lineup due to hamstring tightness, and he'll miss a second consecutive game Saturday while Emmanuel Rivera starts at third base. Baltimore hasn't provided any updates on Urias' status, but it seems likely that he's headed for the injured list with Coby Mayo set to come up from Triple-A Norfolk.

Ramirez (ankle) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto.

Ramirez suffered a sprained right ankle during Friday's contest and will be held out of Saturday's contest in order to recover. Will Wilson will pick up a start at the hot corner as a result and bat seventh.

Clement isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.

Clement will get a day off Saturday after making four consecutive starts, during which he went 3-for-14 with a run scored. Addison Barger will fill in at the hot corner and bat sixth.
