Miranda went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 9-7 loss to the Rangers.

Miranda launched a fourth-inning blast that scored Carlos Correa and Jorge Polanco. It was Miranda's seventh home run of the year and his second in his last four games. The infielder has four total hits and only one strikeout during that span. The outing helped bring his season batting average up to .243.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs and three RBI in a 13-1 win against the Royals on Saturday.

Ramirez was the driving force behind Cleveland's resounding victory with an RBI single in the first inning, two-run homer in the second and double in the fourth. The 29-year-old had been struggling through his first seven games of July with a .160/.222/.280 line and the long ball was his first since June 10. Through 79 games, Ramirez is slashing .291/.372/.585 with 17 homers, 12 stolen bases, 50 runs and 66 RBI.

Devers (back) isn't expected to hit the injured list but won't play until at least Monday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Devers left Friday's game against the Yankees and won't take part in the final two games of the series. Bobby Dalbec will be the third baseman Saturday and could be called on again Sunday, but Devers should have the chance to return for another key divisional matchup Monday against the Rays.

LeMahieu isn't starting Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

LeMahieu led off in the last four games and went 6-for-19 with four runs, two RBI and a stolen base during that time. He'll get a breather while Anthony Rizzo (back) returns to the lineup at first base with Matt Carpenter starting in left field.

Donaldson went 1-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 12-5 win over the Red Sox.

His first-inning blast off Connor Seabold got the ball rolling on another huge night for the Yankees offense. Donaldson has gone deep in three straight games, amassing nine RBI during his power surge, but on the season he still carries a sluggish .231/.318/.412 slash line with nine homers, two steals, 28 runs and 32 RBI through 65 contests.

Bregman went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in an 8-3 victory over the Athletics on Friday.

Bregman helped power his team to victory by plating Yordan Alvarez on his 11th home run of the season. The two-run blast gives Bregman 44 RBI and 46 runs on the season to go along with a .242/.362/.423 slash line. He's posted multiple hits in two of his last four games. Bregman should continue to post quality counting stat numbers as the veteran cleanup hitter knows how to handle the bat and is nestled in-between Alvarez and Kyle Tucker in the productive Astros lineup.

Suarez went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 5-2 extra-innings win over the Blue Jays.

Suarez delivered the biggest hit of the contest, a walkoff blast in the 11th inning for his 15th homer of the year. He's seeing the ball well in July -- he's gone 9-for-27 (.333) with two homers and a double in his last seven contests. The third baseman's recent surge has him up to a .243/.334/.447 slash line with 44 RBI, 41 runs scored and 17 doubles through 84 contests.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 win over the White Sox.

Candelario belted a two-run homer off Lucas Giolito in the sixth inning before hitting an RBI single and scoring in the seventh. It was his sixth home run of the year and first since May 29. The 28-year-old registered a brutal .483 OPS during his 20-game homerless drought and he's now slashing .191/.257/.320 through 65 games this season.

Devers (back) won't play Saturday against the Yankees, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Devers tweaked his back while hitting the railing on a foul ball Friday and was ultimately removed from the game in the top of the fifth inning. However, the right-hander is considered day-to-day and hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's series finale against the Yankees.

Devers exited Friday's game against the Yankees due to low back pain, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Devera appeared to tweak his back injury during an at-bat in the bottom of the fourth inning, and he was replaced defensively for the top of the fifth. He was sidelined for two games earlier in the week due to a combination of hamstring and back tightness, but it's unclear whether his current injury will impact his availability any further.
