Lewis was promoted to Double-A Pensacola on Saturday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Lewis had an uninspiring .238/.289/.376 slash line with 10 homers in 94 games with High-A Fort Myers, but he's looked much better over the last 22 games with an .831 OPS and five home runs in 101 plate appearances. The Twins' top prospect will look to carry over his recent success for the tail end of the season with the Blue Wahoos.

Moncada went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Twins.

He did commit an error that led to Minnesota's only run on the night, but Moncada more than made up for the defensive gaffe at the plate. Over his last 10 games, the 24-year-old is slashing .325/.372/.700 with four homers and 10 RBI, a surge that has gotten him to the 20-HR plateau for the first time in his career.

Urshela went 4-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI, a home run and a double in Saturday's 9-5 loss to the Red Sox.

Urshela also rolled his ankle but never exited the contest, and manager Aaron Boone indicated after the game the team believes he's okay, per Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger. The 27-year-old has a .318/.333/.705 slash line with four home runs and five doubles in 13 games since the All-Star break.

LeMahieu has a low-grade groin strain and is considered day-to-day, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

LeMahieu was withheld from Saturday's lineup due to the issue, but it's currently unclear whether he'll be available for Sunday's series finale. The infielder believes he can play through the injury, but it remains to be seen whether the team feels the same way.

LeMahieu is dealing with groin tightness, which is why he is not in Saturday's lineup against the Red Sox, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

He had an MRI on Saturday, and manager Aaron Boone does not think it is a major injury, per Ackert. Gio Urshela is starting at third base in his stead and would figure to continue to get starts at the hot corner if LeMahieu needs more than one day off.

LeMahieu is not in the lineup Saturday against the Red Sox, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

Gio Urshela will start at third base and hit seventh against left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. LeMahieu will get the day off after appearing in eight consecutive games while slashing .379/.471/.621 with two home runs.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run in Friday's 8-3 win over the Royals.

His sixth-inning blast ended up providing the winning runs for Cleveland after a late spark of offense from Kansas City. Ramirez is finally looking like his old self, slashing .345/.367/.702 through 20 games in July with seven homers, four steals, 19 runs and 21 RBI.

Candelario could begin seeing reps at first base within the next week, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Candelario has exclusively played at the hot corner during his time with the Tigers, though he did play one game at first base with the Cubs in 2017. Dawel Lugo is hitting .335/.375/.502 at Triple-A Toledo, so Candelario seeing action at first base could help open up some playing time for another young player the club would like to take a longer look at.

Ramirez went 3-for-6 with a solo home run and two doubles in a 14-inning victory over Kansas City on Thursday.

Almost five hours into the extra-inning affair, Ramirez stepped up to the plate in the top of the 14th inning and belted a 396-foot home run to untie the score. The blast was Ramirez's 11th of the season -- six of which have come in July. After struggling mightily to begin the campaign, the 26-year-old has driven in 18 runs while hitting .338 (27-for-80) this month to lift his season slash line to .240/.318/.400 in 425 plate appearances.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with a home run and another run scored in Thursday's 10-3 loss to the Twins.

Moncada got the White Sox on the board with a solo homer off Jose Berrios in the second inning for his lone hit of the night. The 24-year-old has been enjoying a breakout campaign atop the White Sox lineup, slashing .299/.356/.526 with a career-high 19 homers, 57 RBI and 56 runs scored.
