Urias (elbow) returned to St. Louis to undergo an examination on his left elbow, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Urias landed on the 10-day injured list in early May due to right elbow lateral epicondylitis, but he came out of his rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Friday due to pain in his left elbow. The result of Saturday's tests will determine the next steps for Urias' rehab program.

Garcia (hamstring) will serve as the Royals' designated hitter and bat fourth during Saturday's game against the Twins.

Garcia missed six consecutive starts while recovering from a strained right hamstring, but he was able to work as a pinch hitter in both of the Royals' last two games. He's now been cleared to rejoin the starting nine, though the Royals will begin by using him as their DH while Josh Rojas mans the hot corner.

Vivas went 2-for-5 with a walk, a double and three RBI in Friday's rout of the Diamondbacks.

Getting the start at third base and batting sixth, Vivas smacked a two-run double down the right-field line in the third inning before adding an RBI single in the ninth. The 25-year-old infielder has also seen time at second base this season, and over 137 plate appearances in 2026 he's slashing .239/.326/.325 with one homer, zero steals, eight RBI and 16 runs.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple and an RBI in Friday's win over the Padres.

The 28-year-old infielder is locking in at the plate. Bichette has six hits in the last two games, and over his last 18 contests he's slashing .282/.333/.465 with two doubles, a triple, three homers, 10 runs and 14 RBI.

The Twins recalled Lewis from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

Lewis was sent down to Triple-A in mid-May but has officially earned a spot back on the major-league roster after slashing .340/.417/.868 with eight home runs, 19 RBI and 12 runs scored in 13 games with the Saints. It's unclear whether he'll reclaim the primary third baseman job from Brooks Lee now that he's back with the Twins, but Tristan Gray seems likely to be the player most affected by Lewis' return. James Outman was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Emerson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Tigers.

The 20-year-old rookie took Drew Anderson deep in the seventh inning as the Mariners tried in vain to rally from an early deficit. Emerson is finding his rhythm at the plate in the majors -- over his last 11 games, he's batting .316 (12-for-38) with eight extra-base hits, including three homers in his last six contests.

Paredes went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional RBI in Friday's win over the Athletics.

Paredes was responsible for the majority of the Astros' offense Friday, launching a three-run homer in the bottom of the first and later plating another run with a sac fly that scored Christian Walker in the third. Paredes has also homered in three games in a row and is up to nine long balls on the season, with four of those coming in an eight-game stretch in which he's posted a 1.103 OPS.

Groover went 0-for-4 in Friday's 14-1 loss to the Nationals in his major-league debut.

Groover is set for a short-side platoon role as a corner infielder. The 24-year-old hit .322 with an .873 OPS, three home runs, 39 RBI, 37 runs scored, 16 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 56 games prior to his call-up. Groover could challenge Ildemaro Vargas for playing time at first base, and he also offers some cover at third if Nolan Arenado needs to rest his legs.

Mayo went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during the Orioles' 13-3 win over the Blue Jays on Friday.

Mayo put the exclamation point on the Orioles' five-run sixth inning with a 396-foot, two-run home run off Trey Yesavage. It was the eighth home run of the season for Mayo, three of which have come over his last seven games. He has logged at least one hit in seven of his last eight games, and over that span he has gone 8-for-29 with five extra-base hits, seven RBI and nine runs scored.

Caminero went 3-for-3 with two walks, two doubles and three runs scored during the Rays' 6-0 win over the Marlins on Friday.

Caminero reached base safely in all five of his plate appearances Friday and came home to score in the first, fifth and seventh innings. His three hits were a season high, and it was his 16th multi-hit game of the year. Caminero is on a seven-game hitting streak, and in that span he has gone 12-for-24 with nine runs, three RBI and six extra-base hits.
