The White Sox reinstated Ramos (quadriceps) from the injured list Saturday.

Ramos landed on the injured list May 17 due to a left quadriceps strain, and he will now return to the White Sox's lineup after a minimum-length stay. The 22-year-old infielder played two rehab games at Triple-A Charlotte, going 2-for-4 with two walks and a run scored, and he figures to reprise his role as Chicago's everyday third baseman now that he's healthy. Zach DeLoach was optioned to Charlotte in a corresponding move.

Ramos (quadriceps) is expected to be activated to start at third base Saturday against the Orioles, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Nothing's official yet, but it sounds like Ramos will return against right-hander Albert Suarez after missing the minimum 10 days with a left quad strain. Ramos, 22, has displayed an impressive skill set during his time in the minors, and that's made him one of the organization's top prospects, though his ceiling is up for some debate. Regardless, the White Sox have every incentive to give Ramos at-bats this season if he can hold his own.

Smith batted third and went 1-for-3 in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.

Smith, who made a 10th consecutive start, batted out of the three hole for a second straight game. Earlier in the week, he batted cleanup. He's been an under-the-radar producer for the Rangers, ranking second among the team's regulars with a .782 OPS, and he has been rewarded with a promotion in the order against right-handers.

Arias went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-4 win over the Angels.

Arias had gone 5-for-34 (.147) over his first 14 games in May, so it's no surprise his playing time has been sparse lately. His last multi-hit effort was April 20. The 24-year-old is sporting a poor .224/.248/.337 slash line with one home run, four steals, nine RBI, 10 runs scored, six doubles and a triple over 101 plate appearances in a utility role.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's victory over the Angels.

With his performance against the Angels, Ramirez collected his 24th career multi-homer game. The veteran third baseman also moved atop the RBI leaderboard, pacing the league with 49. Ramirez has been on an absolute tear in May, hitting .277 (23-for-83) with nine homers, 15 runs scored, 25 RBI, and three steals this month.

Berti was removed from Friday's game against the Padres with an apparent leg injury, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Berti collapsed to the ground running out of the batter's box and was in visible pain after hitting a groundball to second base in the ninth inning. Athletic trainers immediately began tending to his lower left leg -- near his Achilles tendon -- and the 34-year-old infielder couldn't put any weight on his left leg as he was helped off the field. The Yankees will presumably take Berti in for imaging, and it's very possible he requires a trip to the injured list.

Cabrera is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Padres.

Cabrera will take a seat Friday after starting each of the last three games, as Jon Berti gets the nod at third base against Padres right-hander Yu Darvish. Cabrera is slashing .256/.298/.349 with one home run and four RBI in May.

The Athletics optioned Harris to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Harris came up from the minors May 3 in hopes of landing a starting job at third base for the A's, but he will now return to Las Vegas after slashing .116/.291/.326 through 55 plate appearances to begin his MLB career. The 25-year-old infielder was finding consistent success in Triple-A before getting called up, and it's still possible he enjoys another stint with the big-league club if his bat returns to form with the Aviators. Miguel Andujar (knee) was activated off the injured list Friday to take Harris' roster spot.

Lewis (quadriceps) had a successful workout Friday and will report to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday to begin a rehab assignment, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Lewis has been sidelined since he suffered a right quadriceps strain Opening Day, but he's now in the final stages of his rehab program. The 24-year-old will likely need at least a handful of games in the minors before rejoining the Twins.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Washington.

With Seattle facing southpaw MacKenzie Gore, Rojas will take a seat. Dylan Moore will start at third base and bat second.
