Vargas is no longer in the starting lineup against the Angels on Saturday.

Vargas was originally slated to start at first base and bat cleanup, but he was removed from the lineup just before the start of the contest. It's not immediately clear what prompted his removal. Corey Julks is entering the starting nine in Vargas' place and is playing left field, while Lenyn Sosa is shifting from the keystone to first base, among other defensive changes.

Lugo was placed on the 7-day injured list at High-A Cedar Rapids on Friday with a thumb injury, Seth Stohs of TwinsDaily.com reports.

Lugo had been playing well since coming over in a trade for Jorge Alcala in June. He's hitting .297 with three home runs and a .855 OPS in 29 games for Cedar Rapids after hitting four home runs with a .757 OPS at High-A in the Red Sox organization.

Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Twins.

Ramirez tied the game at 4-4 with a two-run blast in the fifth inning, and he also scored the go-ahead run in the eighth on a Bo Naylor double. This was Ramirez's third multi-hit effort in his last four games, though the homer was his first since July 22. The third baseman batted .265 over 26 games in July -- while that's a fine number, it was lower than what he managed in both May and June. He's added plenty of category coverage in 2025, slashing .300/.375/.526 for the year with 22 homers, 59 RBI, 70 runs scored and 32 stolen bases over 107 contests. Ramirez posted his second 30-30 campaign in 2024 and could repeat the feat if his power stays strong over the final two months of this campaign.

Jung (calf) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Jung will take a third straight day off to recover from a sore calf. Josh Smith will pick up another start at third base as a result, with Rowdy Tellez starting at first.

Mayer received an injection in his right wrist Saturday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Mayer will be shut down from all activities for three days following his injection. Once they see how the 22-year-old responds to his treatment, the Red Sox will begin to plan out his next steps, which will likely involve him heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment at some point.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's 6-3 win over the Angels.

Rojas added a big insurance run to the White Sox's tally in the top of the ninth inning. That brings his total up to just two on the season -- an entirely forgettable campaign so far. The infielder is slashing a mere .176/.246/.261 on the season, with his .508 OPS being on pace to be the worst mark of his career in a season in which he's played at least 60 games.

Barger went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 9-3 loss to the Royals.

Barger made Friday's score a little bit more respectable after he smacked a two-run homer to right field off Thomas Hatch in the ninth inning. It was Barger's 16th home run of the season, which is tied with Vladimir Guerrero for second most on the Blue Jays behind George Springer's (concussion) 18. In the 15 games since the All-Star break, Barger has gone 16-for-58 (.276) with four doubles, three home runs and 12 RBI.

Lee went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Friday's 3-2 loss against the Guardians.

Lee had been serving in a utility infield role in recent weeks, but he's poised to serve as the Twins' everyday shortstop moving forward after Carlos Correa was traded to Houston on Thursday. While seeing sporadic playing time for much of July, Lee slashed just .164/.219/.269 with two home runs, 11 RBI, four runs and one stolen base on the month.

Jung (calf) is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Mariners on Friday.

With Jung working through calf soreness, Josh Smith will shift to third base while Rowdy Tellez starts at first. Jung is on a nine-game hitting streak since the All-Star break, going 11-for-30 (.367) with six runs, two homers and five RBI over that span.

The Twins recalled Fitzgerald from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Fitzgerald made his MLB debut with Minnesota earlier this season, receiving three plate appearances across two games. He scored one run but is still looking for his first major-league hit. Fitzgerald gives the Twins some infield depth following the trades of Carlos Correa, Willi Castro and Ty France.
