Duffy went 2-for-3 with a double and a run in a win over the Mariners on Friday.

Duffy laced his fourth double of the season -- his first extra-base hit since July 30 -- off Marco Gonzales in the win. The veteran infielder has yet to go deep since finally making his season debut July 23, but he's hitting a solid .265 over the first 12 games in which he's recorded at least one official at-bat.

Devers is not in Saturday's lineup against the Angels.

He is hitting .306/.336/.628 with eight home runs in 28 games since the All-Star break. Michael Chavis will start at third base while Brock Holt will man the keystone.

Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

Cleveland has now climbed into a tie atop the AL Central with Minnesota, and Ramirez has been a big factor in that surge up the standings. The 26-year-old has an eight-game hitting streak going, slashing .448/.500/.897 with two homers, two steals, eight RBI and eight runs over that stretch.

Devers went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 16-4 victory over the Angels.

Devers knocked home a pair of runs in the sixth inning on a single to right field, and he smacked a solo home run over the fence in right to close out his night. The 22-year-old continues to impress at the dish this season, as he's now slashing .319/.366/.567 with 24 homers, 90 RBI and eight stolen bases over 115 contests.

Rendon went 2-for-5 with a triple, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored Friday night against the Mets.

Rendon knocked home a run in the fourth inning with a triple to right center, and he cranked a two-run homer in the seventh to give his club the lead. He continues to impress this season in Washington, slashing .315/.400/.608 with 25 homers and 90 RBI over 101 contests.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.

His fourth-inning blast off Yu Darvish proved to be the winning run on the night. Suarez now has 31 homers on the season, with 11 of them coming in 27 games since the All-Star break -- a stretch during which the 28-year-old is slashing a robust .284/.381/.674.

Groshans (foot) has been shut down for the rest of the season, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

He was in the midst of a breakout season but an undisclosed left foot injury limited him to just 23 games for Low-A Lansing. In that time, he hit .337/.427/.482 with two home runs and one steal in 96 plate appearances. Groshans has a chance to develop into a five-category fantasy contributor on the left side of the infield. If he really impresses in spring training, it's possible he could open the year at High-A, but he will likely head back to the Midwest League to begin 2020.

Rendon (toe) is in the lineup and hitting third Friday against the Mets, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

He left Wednesday's game after getting hit in the right big toe by a pitch, but after Thursday's off day he is ready to take the field. Rendon is 5-for-20 with one home run in six August games.

Urshela went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Thursday's win over the Blue Jays.

The red-hot third baseman got the Yankees on the board with a two-run shot in the first inning, then replicated the feat with another long ball in the third. The performance was Urshela's second straight three-hit, two-homer, four-RBI effort and marked the third consecutive game in which he has left the yard. In his first season with the Yankees, the 27-year-old has come from nowhere to post an astonishing .323/.367/.568 slash line with 16 homers and 59 RBI in 330 plate appearances.

LeMahieu went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI while scoring twice in Thursday's win over Toronto.

LeMahieu led off the game with a double and came around to score on Gio Urshela's home run, then singled and scored on another long ball by Urshela in the third. He later plated a pair of runs with a single in the sixth inning. The multi-hit effort was his fourth in a torrid August in which LeMahieu has batted .406 (13-for-32) with three homers and eight RBI over eight games.
