Suarez went 3-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Angels.

Suarez had gone 15 games without a multi-hit effort, and he hit just .120 (6-for-50) in that span. All of the third baseman's hits Saturday were singles. He's not known to carry a high batting average, but his .216 mark through 63 contests is a bit light compared to the .236 he hit last year. Suarez has added a career-worst .638 OPS with 36 RBI, 23 runs scored and a stolen base over 270 plate appearances.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Yankees.

Yankees pitching seems to be the remedy for Devers' recent power drought -- he's homered in consecutive contests against New York after going 16 games without a long ball. The third baseman accounted for Boston's lone run Saturday. He's up to 15 homers and 16 doubles through 62 contests this season, but his .247 batting average is far below his established standard. He's also walking less (6.4 percent) and striking out a bit more (20.3 percent) than he did last year, though he's produced 51 RBI and 34 runs scored to be plenty useful in standard fantasy formats.

Urshela (back) is hitting eighth and playing first base versus the Mariners on Saturday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Urshela was a late scratch from the lineup Friday against Seattle, but it was described as precautionary and the infielder is feeling well enough to go for Saturday's contest. Jared Walsh heads back to the bench with Urshela handling first base.

Lewis will sit Saturday against Toronto.

Lewis grabbed four hits in Friday's series opener, raising his batting average from .182 to .270, but his reward will be a trip to the bench. The Twins seemingly want to avoid overworking him as he seeks to establish himself following a pair of seasons lost to ACL tears, as he's yet to start more than three games in a row in the field. Willi Castro will handle the hot corner in Lewis' absence Saturday.

Bride went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a run-scoring sacrifice fly in a win over the Brewers on Friday.

Bride extended his hitting streak to four games with Friday's timely knock, and his pair of RBI pushed his total to four over the last four games. The 27-year-old sports an impressive .308 average (8-for-26) since being promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas on May 30 and appears to be progressively strengthening his grip on the starting third base job.

Peterson went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a win over the Brewers on Friday.

Peterson cooled off at the plate somewhat after going 7-for-10 with two home runs and seven RBI over the last two games of the series against the Pirates. However, his seventh stolen base of the season leaves him just three shy of what would be a third straight double-digit tally in that category. Peterson's aforementioned two-game offensive outburst did give his batting average a much-needed boost over the Mendoza Line, but his current .655 OPS is still his lowest since 2019.

Paredes went 3-for-4 with an RBI double, a two-run home run and a three-run home run in Friday's 8-3 victory over Texas.

Paredes knocked in six of Tampa Bay's eight runs, marking the fifth time he's notched at least four RBI in a game this season. The 24-year-old is slashing .270/.352/.503 with 11 home runs, 44 RBI and 31 runs scored. Paredes remains on track for a career-best campaign and has seized an everyday role at third recently, with Taylor Walls moving to second while Brandon Lowe (back) is unavailable.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with three walks, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Astros.

Houston tried its best not to let Ramirez make a difference after he'd hammered three long balls the night before against Boston, but he still launched a game-tying homer off Rafael Montero in the seventh, kicking off a wild finish to the contest that saw Cleveland set a record for the modern era by coming back from five separate deficits in the seventh inning or later. Ramirez has found a groove at the plate after a sluggish start to the season, and over his last 14 games he's slashing .302/.343/.587 with four homers, 11 runs and 12 RBI.

Lewis went 4-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.

All four hits were singles, but considering Minnesota only managed seven knocks on the night against Toronto pitching, it was still an impressive performance. Lewis is batting .270 (10-for-37) with two homers, four runs and seven RBI through nine games since making his season debut, but his 0:11 BB:K is a sign he hasn't yet fully shaken off the rust from his long layoff.

Donaldson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss against Boston.

Donaldson launched a 448-foot blast in the sixth inning, giving him four home runs in five games since being activated off the injured list. The 37-year-old has been limited to just 10 games so far this season, batting just .161 with a 29 percent strikeout rate. With Aaron Judge (toe) sidelined, the Yankees will be counting on Donaldson to not only stay healthy but provide a consistent bat in the heart of their lineup going forward.
