Urshela (foot) isn't starting Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Urshela was removed from Friday's win over the Blue Jays due to a sprain in the mid-arch of his right foot, and he'll be out of the lineup a day later. The 30-year-old is considered day-to-day for now, but Jose Miranda will start at the hot corner and bat fifth Saturday.

Miranda went 2-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in Friday's 9-3 win over the Blue Jays.

The rookie launched a solo shot off Yusei Kikuchi in the second inning and a two-run blast off Trevor Richards in the sixth as part of a five-homer night for the Twins' offense. Miranda has four hits in 14 at-bats since returning to the majors May 30, with three of them leaving the yard, but his five strikeouts over that stretch remain the biggest obstacle between the 23-year-old and a regular role in the big leagues.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

Suarez opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning, and he added a two-run homer in the ninth to put the Mariners ahead again. The third baseman has been warming up at the dish lately, going 7-for-23 (.304) in his last six games, which follows a three-game skid that came after his previous eight-game hitting streak. For the year, he has a .222/.304/.444 slash line with 10 homers, 28 RBI, 30 runs scored, 10 doubles and a triple in 51 contests.

Urshela left Friday's game against the Blue Jays with a sprain in the mid-arch of his right foot and is being listed as day-to-day, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

He is hitting .359 with two home runs over his last 10 games. Jose Miranda would presumably play third base if Urshela misses more time.

Urshela left Friday's game against the Blue Jays with an undisclosed injury, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

He appeared to get injured on a pick-off play earlier in the game. Jose Miranda moved to third base and Luis Arraez went to first base.

Bregman is not in Friday's lineup against the Royals.

He is 0-for-13 with three walks and one strikeout over his last four games. Aledmys Diaz is starting at third base and hitting fifth.

Urias is not in Friday's lineup against the Guardians, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

He has been hot at the dish, hitting .314/.352/.588 with three home runs in his last 51 at-bats. However, Tyler Nevin will start at third base while Rougned Odor starts at second base in this one.

Walls has been limited by a sore right calf but is available off the bench Friday against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He fouled a ball off his calf earlier this week, which is why he has been absent from the lineup the last two days. Walls' defensive ability and versatility are why he is still in the majors, as he is in the midst of a 5-for-70 slump since May 4.

Nevin was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and will start at third base and bat eighth Friday against the Guardians, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

The corner infielder is hitting .319 with three home runs in 24 games at Triple-A. He struggled to a .222 average and one home run with 17 strikeouts in 63 at-bats when he was up with the big club earlier this year.

Chapman isn't starting Friday's game against the Twins.

Chapman is in the midst of a six-game hitting streak in which he's hit .350 with a double, six runs and three RBI. Santiago Espinal will shift to the hot corner while Cavan Biggio starts at second base.
