Lewis (hamstring) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup versus Houston.

This was the expected outcome after Lewis left Friday's game in the ninth inning and was later diagnosed with a left hamstring strain. Manager Rocco Baldelli indicated after the contest that the team is going to run more tests on Lewis on Saturday, so a clearer picture of how much time the young slugger is slated to miss could emerge shortly. Brooks Lee is starting at third base for Minnesota on Saturday while Kody Clemens is back in the lineup at second base.

McKinstry isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

McKinstry has been on a tear since the start of June, slashing .325/.372/.525 with seven runs scored across 43 plate appearances. He'll get a chance to catch his breath Saturday, moving Javier Baez to third base while Trey Sweeney starts at shortstop.

Garcia went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-4 loss to the A's.

The 25-year-old infielder continues marching toward a breakout campaign. Garcia has slowed down a bit in June, but over his last 26 games he's slashing .340/.393/.526 with three homers, four steals, 14 runs, 14 RBI and a 12.1 percent strikeout rate -- an improvement of more than 10 points on his 2023 mark.

Lewis suffered a left hamstring strain during Friday's loss against the Astros, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Manager Rocco Baldelli said after the game that Lewis' hamstring "tested relatively well upon examination," but the team plans to run more tests on him Saturday. The oft-injured Lewis missed the first month-plus of the season due to a strain in the same hamstring, and it remains unclear if his latest flare-up will send him back to the injured list.

Paredes was diagnosed with a strained left hamstring Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

After Paredes injured his hamstring during Thursday's contest, manager Joe Espada said Friday that the 26-year-old infielder may need to miss a few additional games while he recovers, but the team is hopeful that he will be able to avoid spending time on the injured list. Mauricio Dubon is likely to pick up starts at the hot corner until Paredes is ready to rejoin the starting nine.

Lewis was removed from Friday's game against Houston due to an apparent injury, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.

Lewis pulled up while running to first base on his ninth-inning single and was immediately lifted for a pinch runner, ending his night after he'd gone 2-for-4 with a solo home run. The severity of his injury isn't immediately clear, but Minnesota should have more details on his status after they take a closer look at him. If the 26-year-old ends up needing to miss any amount of time, there would be room in the lineup for Willi Castro and Brooks Lee to play every day.

Paredes (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Paredes is out of the Astros' lineup for a second consecutive game Friday due to an unspecified left hamstring injury. The third baseman will undergo further testing to provide more clarity surrounding the injury. Keep an eye out for a status update within the next 24 hours.

Mastrobuoni is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Guardians on Friday.

Mastrobuoni has been out of the lineup in three of the Mariners' last four games, and his playing time could diminish further with Luke Raley (oblique) close to returning from the 10-day injured list. Randy Arozarena, Julio Rodriguez and Dominic Canzone will start in the outfield for Seattle.

Westburg isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

Westburg went 3-for-11 with two homers and four RBI during his first series back from the injured list, and he'll now get a chance to rest during Friday's series opener. Ramon Urias will start at third base and bat seventh in Westburg's place.

Paredes (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Paredes sustained a left hamstring injury during Thursday's game while trying to beat out a double-play ball. The issue will keep him out of the lineup for Friday's series opener against Minnesota. Mauricio Dubon will fill in at third base.
