Farmer went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two additional RBI in Saturday's win over the Athletics.

After going without a home run for 23 games, Farmer took Freddy Tarnok yard in the seventh inning for his fifth long ball of the campaign. The multi-hit effort broke Farmer out of a slump during which he batted 5-for-34 (.147) over 14 games.

Donaldson will undergo an MRI on his right calf after it flared up on him again in Saturday's win over the Rockies, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Donaldson initially tweaked his calf a couple weeks ago and has often been limited to designated hitter of late as a result. He felt something in the calf again Saturday during his final plate appearance and will undergo testing. For what it's worth, Phillips notes that Yankees manager Aaron Boone "didn't sound optimistic" about Donaldson's condition.

Maton isn't in the Tigers' lineup Saturday against the Mariners.

Maton was called up from Triple-A Toledo on Friday and went 1-for-3 with a homer and two RBI in his first game back in the majors. He'll catch a breather Saturday while Andy Ibanez starts at second base and bats eighth.

Miranda was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right shoulder impingement.

Miranda was scratched Friday due to shoulder soreness, an issue which turns out to be serious enough to sideline him for at least 10 days. The young third baseman has dealt with shoulder issues this season dating back to spring training, which may partially explain his poor .211/.263/.303 slash line. Matt Wallner was recalled to take his place on the roster.

Cabbage grounded out as a pinch hitter in his only plate appearance against Houston on Friday.

Cabbage received his first major-league call-up Friday and pinch hit for Michael Stefanic in the eighth inning, grounding into a fielder's choice with a pair of runners on base and one out. Cabbage has impressed in the minors over the past two seasons, including at Triple-A this year, where he slashed .287/.358/.576 with 23 homers, 64 RBI and 24 steals -- albeit with a 31.3 percent strikeout rate -- over 81 games. The 26-year-old may get a decent look with the Angels currently wracked by injuries to multiple position players, but he isn't expected to see an everyday role.

Ramirez went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Friday's 12-4 loss to the Rangers.

Ramirez's steal was his 10th of the season and his first since June 29. The third baseman has hit safely in six straight games, going 7-for-23 (.304) in that span, though he has just one RBI on a solo home run during that stretch. He's maintained a strong .287/.362/.501 slash line with 14 homers, 53 RBI, 55 runs scored, 23 doubles and four triples through 87 contests.

Paredes will sit for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes had a very productive first half, hitting .265/.370/.504 with 16 homers in 80 games. Taylor Walls will start at second base in the first game of Saturday's twin bill, but Paredes could return for the nightcap.

Gelof, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the day, went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in his big-league debut against the Twins on Friday.

The 23-year-old prospect got his big-league career off to a noteworthy start by delivering an RBI double in his second plate appearance. Gelof had been running hot at the plate in Las Vegas with a .300 average and .921 OPS through 68 games, and he should get an extended look against big-league arms during the second half of the season.

Miranda is likely to be placed on the 10-day injured list due to a sore shoulder, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

MIranda was scratched with the issue before Friday's game. Miranda has been bothered by the shoulder since spring training and it's a bad sign he had a setback after resting during the All-Star break. Matt Wallner is likely to be recalled from Triple-A, with Kyle Farmer, Willi Castro and Donovan Solano likely to split time at third base until Royce Lewis returns.

Devers went 3-for-5 with two solo homers in Friday's win over the Cubs.

Devers wasted no time starting his second half off right with solo homers in the second and third innings. He's up to 22 long balls with an .841 OPS through 380 plate appearances. The 26-year-old slugger snapped a seven-game homerless drought and is now hitting .356 (21-for-59) with five home runs over the last 16 games.
