Candelario went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Rangers.

Candelario played a key role in a rare Detroit offensive explosion. He hit his 11th home run of the season in the sixth inning against Dallas Keuchel with a runner on and also drove in another run on a ninth inning ground out. It's still been a struggle this year for Candelario, who has a .603 OPS after recording a .794 OPS in 2021.

Candelario went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and three total RBI in Saturday's 11-2 victory versus the Rangers.

Candelario's sixth-inning two-run homer gave Detroit a 7-1 lead, and he added an RBI on a fielder's choice groundout in the ninth. The long ball was his first since July 26 -- a span of 25 games. Candelario knocked only four extra-base hits (all doubles) and batted a meager .160 during the power drought, so he's mostly fallen off the fantasy radar.

Burger is expected to miss several weeks due to a non-displaced left wrist fracture, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Burger dealt with a hand issue earlier this season and sustained his most recent injury when he was hit by a pitch Aug. 20. The 26-year-old was placed on the 7-day injured list this week but will likely need to spend more than the minimum amount of time on the shelf prior to returning to action at Triple-A Charlotte.

Moncada was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Saturday, retroactive to Aug. 26.

Moncada exited Thursday's matchup against the Orioles due to a hamstring issue, and the injury will ultimately sideline him for at least a week and a half. It's not yet clear when the White Sox expect him to return, but Josh Harrison and Romy Gonzalez are strong candidates to see increased playing time at third base, particularly after Leury Garcia (back) was reinstated from the injured list Saturday.

Candelario went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Friday's loss to the Rangers.

Candelario is now riding a modest two-game hitting streak, though he's batting just .129 this month and .196 for the season. The 28-year-old should continue to see regular playing time at third base the rest of this season, but it remains to be seen what his role might be in 2023, as his current contract expires at the end of the year.

Urias went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 2-0 victory over the Astros on Friday.

Urias came up big for his team by launching a towering home run onto the train tracks in Minute Maid Park to break a scoreless tie and power the Orioles to a road victory. It was the third baseman's 14th homer of 2022. He is slashing .232/.261/.366 with three long balls in August.

Bride went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and three strikeouts in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Yankees.

Bride got the Athletics on the board in the seventh inning with a solo shot, his first big-league homer. It came in his 36th game with Oakland, and it was just his fourth extra-base hit in 117 at-bats. It wasn't all positive for the infielder, as he also posted his first three-strikeout game, though facing Yankees ace Gerrit Cole didn't help his cause there. For the season, Bride is slashing .222/.308/.274 with six RBI, 10 runs scored and a stolen base, though he should retain fairly regular playing time for a team that's nowhere near contention.

Moncada (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Moncada exited Thursday's contest with tightness in his left hamstring, and he'll be sidelined for at least one game. Josh Harrison will shift to the hot corner while Romy Gonzalez starts at second base.

Devers is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Devers had started all 21 games since returning from the injured list Aug. 2, but he'll receive a day off after posting a .626 OPS during that stretch. Christian Arroyo will shift to third base and Enrique Hernandez to second while Jarren Duran starts in center field.

Paredes went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run homer Thursday against the Angels.

After sitting Wednesday, Paredes returned to the lineup to hit fifth in the order and play second base with a lefty on the mound. He's started six of the team's last seven games, though four have come against southpaws. He took advantage of his opportunity Thursday, slugging his 16th homer of the season and second in his last three games. In the seven-game stretch during which his playing time has ticked up, Paredes is hitting .227/.320/.591 with three RBI and four runs scored.
