The Rays optioned Paredes to Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes will lose his spot on the 26-man active roster after the Rays reinstated Ji-Man Choi (elbow) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his week-long stay with Tampa Bay, Paredes appeared in six games and went 5-for-19 with a double, two runs and two RBI.

Ramirez went 2-for-8 with a double, a walk and a stolen base during Saturday's doubleheader versus the Blue Jays.

Ramirez notched his third steal of the season during an 8-3 loss in the first game of the twin bill. His double came in the nightcap. The third baseman is 3-for-12 against the Blue Jays during this series. He's slashing .310/.407/.620 with seven home runs, 29 RBI, 15 runs scored and eight doubles in 118 plate appearances.

Donaldson is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Rangers.

With Donaldson and Isiah Kiner-Falefa both resting for the front end of the twin bill, the Yankees will deploy DJ LeMahieu (third base) and Marwin Gonzalez (shortstop) on the left side of the infield. Expect both Donaldson and Kiner-Falefa to rejoin the lineup for the nightcap.

Toro went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-2 loss to Tampa Bay.

Toro was unsuccessful in his first three at-bats but took reliever Ralph Garza deep to right in the ninth inning for his first extra-base hit since a home run on April 27th. The 25-year-old had been hitless in his last 13 at-bats prior to the long ball and is slashing a low .151/.221/.302 through 25 games.

White Sox manager Tony La Russa confirmed that Moncada (oblique) will be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's series opener against the Guardians, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

According to Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times, La Russa added that Moncada will be included in the lineup Monday as the No. 2 hitter, with Luis Robert moving into the cleanup spot to accommodate the 26-year-old for what will be his 2022 debut. Moncada was placed on the injured list after he strained his right oblique shortly before Opening Day, but he was cleared to start up a rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte in late April. Over his six games with the affiliate, Moncada hit .318 with two home runs, a double and two walks.

Devers went 2-for-4 with with a double, a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the White Sox.

Devers gave Boston a lead in the fifth inning, but the team's failing offense was unable to build on it, going 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position. Meanwhile, the bullpen blew its ninth save of the season. Devers has hit safely in 25 of 28 games to start the season, but the third baseman has struggled like the rest of the order with runners in scoring position. The Red Sox rank 28th in batting average (.210), and Devers is hitting just .192 in opportunities to drive in runs.

Walls will sit Saturday against Seattle, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Walls hits the bench after starting 10 straight games, a stretch in which he hit just .143/.231/.286. Isaac Paredes will take over at the hot corner.

Urshela isn't starting Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Urshela will get a breather after he went 2-for-13 with two doubles, a run and an RBI over the last four games. Jose Miranda will start at the hot corner and bat fifth.

Miranda went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the A's.

In his fifth career MLB game, Miranda got the Twins on the board by taking Zach Logue deep in the second inning for his first career homer. The 23-year-old also flashed his defensive chops -- with the bases loaded and one out in the ninth inning, Miranda snagged a slow chopper off the bat of Seth Brown and fired home just in time to get the force out and preserve Minnesota's lead. A third baseman by trade, Miranda has started four games at first base with Miguel Sano (knee) on the shelf, and it looks like he could remain there for a while. Just like this Twins team, he's young, scrappy and hungry, and Miranda's not throwing away his shot at proving he belongs in the majors.

Suarez went 2-for-3 with a two home runs, three RBI, three runs scored and two walks in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Rays.

Suarez got the Mariners on the board early with his two-run shot off of Matt Wisler in the first inning before tacking on a solo home run in the ninth. He's now up to six homers on the year with three over his last three appearances after snapping a 13-game drought. He's slashing .219/.318/.490 with 17 RBI through 110 plate appearances.
