Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

Ramirez has six multi-hit efforts over his last nine games, and he's added three steals in that span. The third baseman is up to 25 thefts on the season, a mark he's achieved in 31 attempts. He's also slashing .279/.352/.482 with 23 home runs, 76 RBI and 82 runs scored over 143 contests.

Henderson went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's victory over the Rays.

Henderson scored in each of the first two innings, coming around to score after belting a leadoff single in the first before launching a two-run home run in the second off Tyler Glasnow. The long ball was Henderson's fifth of his last 12 games, a stretch in which he's 18-for-56 (.321) with 12 RBI and 11 runs scored.

Paredes is not starting in Saturday's lineup against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes will get a routine day of rest, with Curtis Mead taking over at third base and hitting sixth. Since returning from a hand injury Tuesday, Paredes has only one hit across 14 at-bats.

Walls was placed on the paternity list Saturday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Walls can be away from the team for up to three games. To take his spot on the roster, the Rays selected the contract of Tristan Gray.

Lewis went 1-for-2 with three walks, a grand slam, a second run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

Chicago's pitching staff wanted nothing to do with Lewis after he drove a Jesse Scholtens fastball over the fence in left field in the second inning with the bases loaded, giving Minnesota a lead it wouldn't relinquish. The 24-year-old third baseman also set a few different records with the blast. Per Joe Pollizze of MLB.com, his four grand slams in 2023 established a new franchise record for the Twins, while Sarah Langs of MLB.com notes that Lewis is the first player in MLB history with five slams among his first 16 career homers. His four grand slams in the last 18 games is also a new record, shattering the prior mark for the shortest such stretch -- 39 games by Don Mattingly in 1987. Lewis is putting together a massive September, slashing .288/.393/.615 through 14 games with five homers, 13 runs and 21 RBI as the Twins close in on an AL Central title.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Suarez has gotten his bat going again with three homers over his last nine games, a span in which he's gone 9-for-33 (.273). The third baseman opened the scoring with the fourth-inning blast, and he also hit into a double play in the sixth that allowed another run to score. For the season, he's at a .232/.324/.393 slash line with 21 homers, 88 RBI, 62 runs scored and two stolen bases over 137 contests.

Gelof went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Padres.

Gelof recorded his first game this month with just one hit -- he had seven multi-hit efforts and five hitless games to begin September. His power has taken a dip this month with six doubles and one home run over 13 contests, and this was his second steal in that span. Gelof is at a .268/.335/.516 slash line with 11 homers, 11 steals, 25 RBI and 33 runs scored through 54 games this season.

Rendon (lower leg) revealed Friday that he was diagnosed with a fractured left tibia in August, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The injury had been called a bone bruise ever since Rendon landed on the IL in mid-July, but at least there is now a bit more clarity as to why he's remained on the shelf. Rendon just recently resumed baseball activities and seems doubtful to return to the Angels' active roster before the end of the season.

The Angels placed Moustakas on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left forearm extensor strain.

This could be a season-ending injury for the veteran infielder given where it lands on the baseball calendar. Kyren Paris has been brought back from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding roster move ahead of Friday's series opener against the Tigers.

Henderson is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Friday versus the Rays.

The 22-year-old has mostly been hitting second for the Orioles in recent weeks, with Adley Rutschman handling leadoff duties, but those two will swap spots in Friday's game against Tampa Bay. Henderson is slashing .319/.355/.625 over his last 76 plate appearances dating back to Aug. 28.
