Clement went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

Clement's playing time was on the decline about a week ago, but he should be able to see steady at-bats while Andres Gimenez (quadriceps) is on the 10-day injured list. Over his last five contests, Clement has helped his own case to stay in the lineup by going 7-for-20 (.350). The versatile infielder is batting .248 with a .587 OPS, no home runs, six RBI, nine runs scored, two steals and six doubles over 109 plate appearances. Clement has started all three games at second base since Gimenez was injured, allowing Addison Barger to take over at third, at least against right-handed pitchers.

Vargas is not in Saturday's lineup against the Marlins, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Vargas has been a mainstay in the White Sox's order, as this marks his first day off since April 22. He's split work between first and third base, though the addition of Tim Elko has the potential to disrupt Vargas' position in the lineup. Per Jack Ankony of SI.com, the White Sox plan to mix and match Elko, Vargas and Andrew Vaughn between designated hitter and first base.

Sogard was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

Romy Gonzalez (back) landed on the injured list Saturday, creating an opening at first base for the Red Sox. Sogard appears set to get some chances against lefties, as he's in the lineup and hitting seventh versus Royals southpaw Cole Ragans on Saturday. Sogard earned 86 plate appearances with the Red Sox in 2024 and hit .273/.326/.325 with eight RBI and 13 runs scored.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-0 win over the Phillies.

Ramirez finished off the scoring with his homer in the seventh inning. It was his first long ball in 15 games and sixth of the season. It didn't take long for Ramirez to shake off the ankle injury that forced him to miss one game. In the five games since, he's 6-for-20 with a home run, two doubles and three RBI.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters Friday that Westburg (hamstring) won't play a rehab game with Triple-A Norfolk until late next week, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Westburg landed on the 10-day injured list April 28 due to a left hamstring strain. The injury is more severe than originally thought, and the 26-year-old third baseman will stick to baseball activities before embarking on a rehab assignment in Triple-A. Prior to his placement on the IL, Westburg was slashing .217/.265/.391 with 12 runs scored, four home runs and six RBI in 98 plate appearances.

The Angels recalled Lugo from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Lugo wasn't able to make the Angels' Opening Day roster, but he's now on the 26-man roster following Gustavo Campero's placement on the 10-day injured list due to left ankle inflammation. Lugo was acquired by the Angels from the Red Sox in July, and in Triple-A this season he is slashing .212/.292/.364 with two stolen bases, 22 runs scored, four home runs and 18 RBI in 168 plate appearances. With Campero and Mike Trout (knee) both on the IL, Lugo should have an opportunity to see some playing time in the outfield as a defensive substitute for Kyren Paris, Taylor Ward and Jo Adell.

The Orioles optioned Mayo to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

Mayo had some defensive lapses and went just 1-for-12 at the plate during his brief stint with the big club. The 23-year-old has nothing left to prove in the minors, but he will nonetheless head back to Norfolk to clear space on the roster for the return of Tyler O'Neill (neck).

Miranda (hand) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Miranda is in St. Paul's lineup at third base Friday after missing the previous month with a strained left hand. He hit just .167 over 12 games with the Twins prior to his demotion in mid-April.

Ibanez went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

Ibanez helped lead the Tigers to an easy 10-2 win then began the nightcap on the bench, though he did enter the contest late as a defensive replacement. The utility player has a solid .259 batting average and .746 OPS to go along with two home runs and 12 RBI in 25 games, but his inconsistent playing time limits his overall fantasy appeal.

Caminero went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional RBI in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

It was the slugging third baseman's first multi-RBI effort since April 17. Caminero also has just one multi-hit effort in his last 15 outings, but he has consistently occupied a premium spot in Tampa Bay's batting order. It's also worth noting he's thrived at hitter-friendly George M. Steinbrenner Field this season, as Caminero is batting .298 with an .891 OPS over 94 at-bats at home while hitting a paltry .122 with a .330 OPS across 41 at-bats on the road.
