Chapman is dealing with wrist soreness, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The injury seemingly explains both why Chapman wasn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers and why he wasn't available to pinch hit with his side trailing in the ninth inning. As long as his diagnosis remains nothing worse than soreness, Chapman probably won't miss too many more games, but it's unclear whether or not he'll return to the lineup for Sunday's series finale.

Kreidler (hand) returned to the lineup for Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

Kreidler returned from hand surgery in late May but appeared in just two games before being shut down again for nearly two weeks. He's ready to go again now and will look to build on his .243/.333/.446 slash line through his first 20 games.

LeMahieu is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cubs.

LeMahieu is the odd man out, with Gleyber Torres starting at second base and Josh Donaldson starting at the hot corner. LeMahieu is hitting .281 with two home runs in eight games this month.

Urias was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left oblique strain.

Richie Martin's contract was selected from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Tyler Nevin has been starting at third base in recent days with Urias unavailable.

Lewis (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

It was reported Friday that Lewis would miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL, so Saturday's transaction was made to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Given the timing of the injury, don't expect to see Lewis back on the field until sometime next summer.

Urshela is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Urshela went 13-for-40 (.325) over his last 11 games, but he will get a day off after making five straight starts. Jose Miranda will man the hot corner in Urshela's place.

Rendon went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's loss to the Mets.

Rendon was activated from the injured list prior to the game and started at third base while batting third in the order. The veteran worked a walk in his third plate appearance but otherwise didn't make an impact offensively. Rendon is batting .237 on the season, putting him on pace for his worst average as a major-leaguer. He hit just .240 over 217 at-bats last season.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Athletics.

Ramirez's solo blast came in the bottom of the ninth inning, kicking off a three-run inning and helping Cleveland pick up a win. The three-hit effort bumped the third baseman's batting average up to .294. The home run was his second in as many games and his 16th on the season.

Paredes went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Twins.

Getting the start at second base and batting sixth, Paredes got the Rays on the board in the second inning by taking Devin Smeltzer deep. The 23-year-old has started eight of the last 11 games with Brandon Lowe (back) and Wander Franco (quadriceps) sidelined and been productive, with Paredes slashing .208/.355/.542 over that stretch with two doubles, two of his five homers on the year and a 6:3 BB:K in 31 plate appearances.

Urias was removed from Friday's lineup against the Royals due to left side discomfort, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Urias was scratched from Friday's lineup shortly before the start of the game, and the Orioles revealed after the matchup that his removal was due to a side issue. He'll be re-evaluated Saturday, while Tyler Nevin should see additional time at third base if Urias misses more games.
