Urias went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Monday's 10-0 win over the Red Sox.

Urias' lone hit of the game was a third-inning two-run blast off Red Sox starter Rich Hill. In the fifth, Urias picked up another RBI on a groundout. The 27-year-old infielder has gone 13-for-40 (.325) in his last 10 contests. He's posted a .230/.279/.362 slash line with four homers, 15 RBI, 18 runs scored and eight doubles through 42 games.

Rivera went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Guardians.

Rivera took Cleveland starter Zach Plesac deep in the third inning to tie the game at 1-1. In his last five games, Rivera is 5-for-20 (.250) with three RBI and three runs scored. The third baseman is up to four homers, 12 RBI, 13 runs scored and a .230/.288/.486 slash line through 80 plate appearances this season. As long as the Royals' outfield depth is tested by absences -- forcing Whit Merrifield to move from second base -- Rivera should see fairly regular playing time at the hot corner.

Urshela went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's loss to Detroit.

Urshela knocked a solo home run off of Beau Brieske in the sixth inning and added an RBI double in the eighth. The 30-year-old has produced three hits on three occasions over his last seven games, boosting his season slash line to .272/.331/.401 through 166 plate appearances. During that seven-game stretch, Urshela is hitting .414 with three extra-base hits and eight RBI.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Monday's 7-3 win over the Royals.

Ramirez opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning before adding a two-run homer in the fifth. He's posted multiple RBI in five of his last nine contests, and he leads the majors with 51 this season. The star third baseman has added a .297/.391/.648 slash line with 13 homers, 28 runs scored, six stolen bases, four triples and 11 doubles in 44 games overall.

Miranda was recalled by the Twins on Monday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Miranda was optioned Sunday that Royce Lewis could take his place on the roster, but he'll return one day later as Lewis hits the injured list with a bone bruise in his right knee. Miranda hit a very disappointing .164/.200/.284 in 19 games prior to his demotion, but that brief stretch isn't enough to conclude that he doesn't have what it takes to succeed at the highest level.

Lewis (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right knee bone bruise.

After being recalled Sunday, Lewis suffered the knee injury while making a catch in the fourth inning and he will now be out for at least 10 days. The 22-year-old has produced a .300 average with two homers, four doubles, five RBI and five runs over 40 at-bats in 12 games with the Twins this season. Jose Miranda was called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday to take his spot on the 26-man roster.

Walls went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Yankees.

Walls snapped a 58 at-bat stretch without an extra-base hit by smacking his second homer of the season. He's continued to get consistent playing time at third base with Brandon Lowe (back) sidelined but has hit just .096 with two RBI and five runs scored across his last 23 games. Walls' primary fantasy appeal comes from his speed, as he has managed five stolen bases while being caught once on the campaign.

Ramirez went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers.

Ramirez has notched three of his six stolen bases this year in his last six games. The third baseman saw his five-game hitting streak snapped Sunday, but he's had only two stretches this season with consecutive 0-fer performances. Overall, he's at a .292/.388/.634 slash line with 12 home runs, 48 RBI, 27 runs scored, 11 doubles and four triples in 43 contests.

Burger went 1-for-5 with a walk and an RBI on Sunday against the Cubs.

Burger had an uninspiring performance until the 12th inning when he delivered a walk-off single. He has swung a hot bat since being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte May 24 by slugging two home runs, six RBI and scoring two runs across five games. Burger's at-bats are likely to dry up once Yoan Moncada (quadriceps) can return to the lineup, though he could see sporadic run at any of second base, third base or DH.

Moncada (quadriceps) entered Sunday's game against the Cubs as a pinch hitter and grounded out in his only plate appearance.

Moncada was out of the lineup for the third consecutive game Sunday, which led to some concern that he would need a stint on the injured list. While that remains a possibility, Moncada's appearance as a pinch hitter is a good sign for his potential availability to begin the team's series against Toronto on Tuesday.
