Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run, two runs scored and a stolen base Saturday against the Twins.

Ramirez took Rich Hill yard in the fourth inning to record his 11th home run of the season. After missing one game with a hand injury Thursday, Ramirez has now homered in consecutive contests. He also chipped in his 10th stolen base of the campaign in the eighth frame with Tyler Clippard on the mound. Overall, Ramirez is hitting .259/.361/.512 with 34 runs scored and 28 RBI across 194 plate appearances.

Reynolds was designated for assignment by the Royals on Saturday.

Reynolds spent just four days on the Royals' roster, going 0-for-11. The move clears space for Kelvin Gutierrez (elbow) to return from the 45-day injured list.

Paredes will be on the bench Saturday against the White Sox.

Paredes has struggled at the plate in his debut season, hitting .155/.222/.224 through his first 21 games. Sergio Alcantara starts at third base in his absence.

Chapman (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday and will undergo surgery to address a torn right hip labrum, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Chapman has been sidelined for the past seven games while dealing with right hip tendinitis, and he'll miss the remainder of the season as a result. The 27-year-old had started all but one of the Athletics' games prior to his injury, slashing .232/.276/.535 with 10 home runs and 25 RBI. Whether he'll be ready for spring training in 2021 remains to be seen. Seth Brown was recalled in a corresponding move, while Chad Pinder and Vimael Machin should see playing time at third base in Chapman's absence.

Chapman will sit for the seventh straight game with right hip tendinitis Saturday against Texas.

Chapman still hasn't been placed on the injured list, though if he had been when he first suffered the injury, he'd be eligible to return next Thursday. Given that he's still yet to resume baseball activities and doesn't have a timeline to do so, it's quite possible he won't return before that date. Vimael Machin will serve as the third baseman Saturday.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Friday but the Indians fell to the Twins, 3-1.

Ramirez had been in and out of the Indians' lineup throughout the week while dealing with a left hand bruise and returned Friday with a ninth-inning home run to left. The 28-year-old is hitting .252/.353/.491with 10 long balls and 27 RBI and appears healthy enough to return as an everyday starter moving forward.

LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during a 6-0 win over the Orioles in the first game of Friday's doubleheader.

He stayed hot in the nightcap, going 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and two runs scored. LeMahieu is slashing a dazzling .359/.410/.550 through 35 games with six homers, two steals, 14 RBI and 27 runs from the top of the Yankees' batting order.

Ramirez (hand) is starting at third base and batting third Friday at Minnesota.

The 27-year-old has been battling a left hand bruise throughout the week and will return to the lineup after sitting out Thursday's game. Ramirez is 3-for-19 with one homer, two RBI and three walks over his past six games.

Moncada is not in the lineup Friday against the Tigers.

Moncada started the past two games and will head to the bench despite going 4-for-10 with a double, two runs and two RBI. Yolmer Sanchez will take over at the hot corner Friday for the White Sox.

Devers went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Rays.

Devers took Josh Fleming yard in the the third inning to record his 10th homer of the season. He now has four long balls in his past four games, also driving in nine runs and scoring four times. After a slow start to the season, Devers is hitting .275/.328/.533 with 26 runs scored and 31 RBI across 180 plate appearances.
