Devers went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two runs and three RBI against Texas in a 9-8 victory Thursday.

Devers came up big late in the contest, doubling home a run to kick off an eighth-inning Boston comeback that included his two-run double in the ninth. The big performance snapped a five-game drought during which the third baseman went hitless over 20 at-bats. Devers is tied for seventh in the league with 35 doubles on the campaign.

Peraza was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Peraza dealt with a minor hand injury in early August but missed less than a week. The 22-year-old had a somewhat slow start to the season but has slashed .312/.377/.546 with 13 home runs, nine doubles, 41 runs, 34 RBI and 22 stolen bases over 51 games since June 11. Peraza should push for playing time in the big leagues, and it's possible that he overtakes Isiah Kiner-Falefa as the Yankees' primary shortstop at some point.

Bride is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

Tony Kemp will check in at second base while Bride takes a seat after drawing starts at the position in six of the past seven contests. Since coming off the injured list July 25, Bride has posted a meager .639 OPS over 27 games, but the Athletics don't appear to have a viable threat to challenge him for an everyday role in the infield.

The Tigers selected Kreidler's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Kreidler will be on the bench for Thursday's series finale against the Mariners, but he's expected to start Friday against the Royals and could eventually challenge Willi Castro for the primary gig at second base while Jonathan Schoop (ankle) is on the shelf. Over 250 plate appearances with Toledo this season, Kreidler slashed .213/.352/.411 with eight home runs and 15 stolen bases. In addition to seeing time at the keystone, the 24-year-old Kreidler also picked up reps at shortstop and third base.

Toro went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's victory versus Detroit.

Toro singled in the second inning before he later took Alex Lange deep for a two-run shot in the top of the seventh. The homer was his ninth of the year and he has now gone 3-for-7 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored over his first two games back in the majors after being recalled Tuesday.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners.

Candelario has largely struggled this season, though he is now riding a six-game hitting streak, which has boosted his season batting average above .200. That's not saying a ton, though perhaps Candelario could deliver some fantasy value over the final month of the season even if his overall numbers are down from 2021.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's victory over the Tigers.

Suarez took Tyler Alexander deep for a two-run blast in the top of the first frame, driving in teammate Julio Rodriguez in the process. The long ball was his 25th of the season and sixth in his last 12 games. Suarez finished August on a hot streak, batting .310 with six home runs, 14 RBI and nine runs scored over the last 12 contests of the month.

Urias went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and three RBI in Wednesday's victory over the Guardians.

Urias walked with the bases loaded in the top of the third frame, driving in Rougned Odor from third base. He later added a two-run homer off Eli Morgan in the eighth inning, his 15th of the season. Urias will finish the month of August having hit .221 with four home runs, 14 RBI, 11 runs scored and a stolen base over 95 at-bats in 27 games during the month.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Guardians.

Henderson took Triston McKenzie deep for his first major-league homer in the top of the fourth inning, extending the team's lead to 2-0. The 21-year-old also added a single later in the contest. Henderson is expected to play multiple positions in the infield and should be in the lineup on an everyday basis moving forward.

The Tigers will select Kreidler's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Kreidler is among the Tigers' top prospects, and he'll join the major-league club once active rosters expand to 28 players Thursday. The 24-year-old has had a slight decrease in production at Toledo this year, slashing .218/.359/.421 with eight homers, 29 runs, 22 RBI and 15 stolen bases over 55 games in 2022. However, Kreidler should have a chance to carve out big-league at-bats over the final month of the season, especially while Jonathan Schoop (ankle) remains sidelined.
