Kreidler (hand) returned to the lineup for Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

Kreidler returned from hand surgery in late May but appeared in just two games before being shut down again for nearly two weeks. He's ready to go again now and will look to build on his .243/.333/.446 slash line through his first 20 games.

LeMahieu is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cubs.

LeMahieu is the odd man out, with Gleyber Torres starting at second base and Josh Donaldson starting at the hot corner. LeMahieu is hitting .281 with two home runs in eight games this month.

Longoria (hamstring) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

With lefty Clayton Kershaw on the hill, the righty-hitting Longoria would surely be in the lineup if he were up for it physically. Wilmer Flores starts at third base as Longoria sits after exiting Friday's game with left hamstring tightness.

Urias was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left oblique strain.

Richie Martin's contract was selected from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Tyler Nevin has been starting at third base in recent days with Urias unavailable.

Rosario has swatted three home runs and knocked in seven runs while going 7-for-14 over his past three games with Triple-A El Paso.

Rosario hit only .160 during his first six games in June, but he's turned things around considerably with his three-game hot stretch. The 22-year-old broke through with 12 homers and 30 stolen bases in 114 Double-A games last season and is on a similar pace with six long balls and 10 thefts through 54 games in his first Triple-A stint this year. He's striking out at a 23.7 percent clip but has balanced that with an above-average 10.5 percent walk rate.

Lewis (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

It was reported Friday that Lewis would miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL, so Saturday's transaction was made to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Given the timing of the injury, don't expect to see Lewis back on the field until sometime next summer.

Urshela is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Urshela went 13-for-40 (.325) over his last 11 games, but he will get a day off after making five straight starts. Jose Miranda will man the hot corner in Urshela's place.

Rendon went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's loss to the Mets.

Rendon was activated from the injured list prior to the game and started at third base while batting third in the order. The veteran worked a walk in his third plate appearance but otherwise didn't make an impact offensively. Rendon is batting .237 on the season, putting him on pace for his worst average as a major-leaguer. He hit just .240 over 217 at-bats last season.

Senzel (back) is in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Senzel sat out three games with a lower-back injury, but he is ready to get back on the field. He will cover center field and lead off for the Reds on Saturday.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Athletics.

Ramirez's solo blast came in the bottom of the ninth inning, kicking off a three-run inning and helping Cleveland pick up a win. The three-hit effort bumped the third baseman's batting average up to .294. The home run was his second in as many games and his 16th on the season.
