Caminero is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Blue Jays, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Caminero was promoted from Double-A Montgomery to the big leagues Friday, but he will have to wait to make his first start. Being on the bench wouldn't seem to be a great sign for his playing time outlook down the stretch, although Tampa Bay could just want to give the top prospect a day to settle in. Curtis Mead is at third base Friday and Osleivis Basabe is handling shortstop.

LeMahieu is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.

It looks to be a routine day off after LeMahieu had started each of the previous seven contests. Jake Bauers is handling first base and Estevan Florial has been elevated to the leadoff spot.

Burger (quad) is in the lineup for the Marlins' series opener versus the Brewers on Friday.

Burger had to be removed from Wednesday's contest against the Mets with right quad tightness, but he won't have to miss any starts after getting an off day Thursday to recover. The slugger is playing third base and batting fifth for the Marlins on Friday.

The Rays selected Caminero's contract from Double-A Montgomery on Friday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

One of the top prospects in all of baseball, Caminero will skip the Triple-A level and report to the big leagues after turning 20 in July. He earned the promotion by slashing .324/.384/.591 with 31 home runs and 94 RBI between High-A Bowling Green and Montgomery, with 20 of those homers coming at the Double-A level. While primarily a third baseman, Caminero has experience at all four infield positions and could potentially take over at shortstop for the Rays.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.

Ramirez has multiple hits in seven of his last 14 games, going 20-for-56 (.357) while adding three home runs and five steals in that span as he continues to be a true five-category contributor. The third baseman is slashing .279/.354/.481 with 24 homers, 27 thefts, 79 RBI and 84 runs scored across 148 games this season, numbers that represent a bit of a down year for the 31-year-old.

Davis isn't starting Thursday against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

After going 2-for-11 with an RBI and three runs scored across his last four games, Davis will get a day to rest Thursday. His absence will allow Wilmer Flores to start at third base and bat second.

Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Cleveland.

Urias started Wednesday in Houston, but he's now been in the lineup just three times over the Orioles' last 10 contests. Adam Frazier is at second base and Jordan Westburg will patrol third Thursday.

Vargas isn't in the Nationals' lineup Thursday against Atlanta, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Although the switch-hitting Vargas holds a .773 OPS against left-handed pitchers this season, he'll get a day off against Max Fried on Thursday. Carter Kieboom will start at third base instead while batting fifth.

Peraza is not in the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Peraza will get a day of rest after making seven straight starts at third base while going 6-for-27 (.222) with a homer and a double. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is manning the hot corner for the Yankees in Thursday's series finale versus Toronto.

Donaldson is not in the lineup Thursday at St. Louis.

This looks to be a planned day of rest for the 37-year-old third baseman, who slugged a three-run homer in the Brewers' 8-2 win over the Cardinals on Wednesday. Andruw Monasterio will man the hot corner and bat sixth in Thursday's series finale.
