Paredes was recalled by the Tigers on Saturday.

The 22-year-old spent six days on the major-league roster earlier in June before getting optioned on Monday. He grabbed just three hits in six games and now owns a career .207/.273/.306 slash line in 132 plate appearances at the highest level. Niko Goodrum (finger) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Donaldson (calf) remains sidelined Saturday against the Rangers.

Calf issues are unfortunately nothing new for the veteran third baseman. His latest such problem popped up Wednesday against the Mariners, causing him to exit in the first inning. He'll sit for the second straight game, with Luis Arraez taking over at the hot corner.

Ramirez (foot) will not start Saturday's game against the Pirates, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Ramirez left Friday's game after getting struck in the foot by a pitch. It's not yet clear how much time he's expected to miss, but he'll sit for at least one contest, with Yu Chang taking over at the hot corner.

Astudillo was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Astudillo hadn't been receiving regular opportunities for the Twins, as his start at third base Friday against the Rangers was his first in 10 days. He was sent down to make way for the return of Byron Buxton (hip), though he'll likely be one of the first few names called upon if the team needs another bat in the future.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 loss to Kansas City.

The third baseman took Kansas City reliever Scott Barlow deep to center field in the eighth inning. In his last seven games, Devers has gone 11-for-29 (.379) with two homers, eight RBI and seven runs scored. The 24-year-old is slashing .283/.348/.574 with 17 homers, 56 RBI, 47 runs scored and three stolen bases across 279 plate appearances overall.

LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Athletics.

LeMahieu had lackluster results at the plate to begin the season, but he blasted his fifth home run of the year Friday and has now recorded four extra-base hits across the last seven games. During that time, he's gone 10-for-30 with two homers, two doubles, six RBI and four runs.

Ramirez was diagnosed with a left foot contusion after leaving Friday's game against the Pirates, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Ramirez immediately limped off the field after he was hit by a pitch in the top of the eighth inning. Prior to his departure, he went 0-for-2 with a run, a walk and a strikeout. If the 28-year-old misses any additional time, Yu Chang and Ernie Clement could see increased at-bats.

Ramirez left Friday's game against the Pirates in the top of the eighth inning with an apparent foot injury, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Ramirez was hit by a pitch on his foot to lead off the eighth inning Friday, and he immediately limped off the field. The nature and severity of the injury aren't yet known, and whether the third baseman misses additional time remains to be seen.

Moncada said Friday that he still isn't feeling "100 percent" after returning from a sinus infection Thursday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Moncada missed three consecutive games earlier this week before returning to the lineup Thursday. He was able to remain in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros, though he's still not feeling totally right physically. With this update in mind, it wouldn't be surprising for Tony La Russa to give the infielder another day off in the next few games.

Rendon (triceps) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Detroit.

Rendon is out of the starting nine for the fourth straight game after he exited Monday's contest in Oakland due to a triceps issue. The third baseman appears to be progressing, however, as manager Joe Maddon said that he could be an option to pinch hit Friday, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.
