The Twins transferred Miranda (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Miranda was already expected to be out until late September, but his move to the 60-day IL ensures he's out until at least Sept. 15. His spot on the 40-man roster will be filled by Andrew Stevenson, who was selected from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Burger 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's win over the Nationals.

The 27-year-old slugger capped the scoring on the night by launching a Joe La Sorsa sinker over the wall in right-center field in the ninth inning. Burger's up to 28 homers on the season, and while Thursday's blast was only his third in 26 games since joining the Marlins, he boasts a .323/.380/.485 slash line with his new club.

Lipcius was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Lipcius has slashed .272/.363/.419 with 11 home runs in 97 games this season with Toledo. The 25-year-old can play all over the infield and can also handle left field in a pinch. He'll be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.

Busch went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in a loss to Atlanta.

Busch hit one of four Dodgers long balls in the contest, launching his to right field in the seventh inning. It was his second homer since being recalled from the minors Aug. 22, but just his third hit. Busch has struggled since the promotion, slashing .130/.192/.391 with eight strikeouts over 26 plate appearances.

Muncy went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in a loss to Atlanta on Thursday.

Muncy gave the Dodgers an early lead with an RBI fielder's choice in the first inning and added a solo shot to bring the team to within one run in the eighth. That homer gave the veteran slugger an extra-base hit in nine straight games, tying a franchise record. Muncy has hit safely in 10 consecutive contests overall, slashing .341/.413/.707 with three homers, six doubles, 13 RBI and eight runs over that stretch.

Riley went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-7 win against the Dodgers.

Riley accounted for the final run in a six-run second inning for Atlanta with his solo shot to center field. The long ball was his third over his past six contests to bring his total to 32 on the campaign. Riley finished August with four consecutive multi-hit games and slashed .289/.348/.537 with eight homers, 18 RBI, 23 runs and one steal over 29 contests during the month.

The Tigers will recall Lipcius on Friday.

Lipcius was impressive during spring training, posting a .909 OPS with three home runs across 41 at-bats. He's gone on to post a respectable season with Triple-A Toledo by maintaining a .272/.363/.412 line across 416 plate appearances, though that's translated to just a 96 wRC+. It's unclear what his role may be in Detroit, as both Matt Vierling and Zack Short are likely ahead of him on the third base depth chart.

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

Although Vargas is slashing .268/.294/.476 against left-handed pitchers this season, he'll retreat to the bench against Braxton Garrett and the Marlins on Thursday. Michael Chavis will fill in at the keystone and bat seventh.

Baty will be called up from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday when major-league rosters expand, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Baty has struggled to a .212/.284/.332 batting line in 353 big-league plate appearances since his debut in late 2022, but the 23-year-old was a preseason top-100 prospect and continues to crush it at the Triple-A level. The out-of-contention Mets might as well give him regular looks at third base as they play out the string. Ronny Mauricio is also reportedly getting the call, but he can cycle in at second base, left field and maybe some shortstop.

Muncy went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and three RBI in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

Muncy didn't take long to extend his on-base streak and hitting streak to 11 and nine games, respectively. After walking in his first plate appearance in the bottom of the first inning, Muncy delivered a two-run double in his third trip to the plate in the fourth. Muncy closed August with a .253/.388/.494 slash line to go with four home runs, 18 RBI and 15 runs in 23 games.
