Ramirez went 1-for-5 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Twins.

Ramirez was pivotal in the Guardians' walk-off win, singling in the tying run then scoring the winning run after he stole second base. With the steal, he entered the record books as the first player in Cleveland history to record 250 stolen bases and 250 home runs in his career. The steal was his seventh of the season.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Thursday that Sewald's recovery from a shoulder strain is "going to be a while," MLB.com reports.

That sounds like Sewald will require more than the 15-day minimum. He was lifted from a game earlier this week after facing two batters. Sewald had a good start to the season but had a troublesome five-game stretch (12.27 ERA) leading up to his placement on the IL.

Angels manager Ron Washington described Joyce as "moving along, slowly" in his recovery from right shoulder inflammation, per MLB.com.

Joyce has been on the injured list since April 11 due to the shoulder injury. Though the right-hander is technically eligible to be activated, it doesn't appear that he's close to a return. Joyce put up a 6.23 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 4.1 innings prior to getting hurt, but all three of the runs he allowed came in his final appearance before landing on the IL, and he notably experienced diminished velocity in that outing.

Gelof (wrist) is 1-for-4 with a walk for Triple-A Las Vegas in the first two games of a rehab assignment that began Tuesday.

Gelof underwent surgery in March to repair a fractured hamate bone in his right wrist. He'll likely need a week or more of rehab games before he's ready to be activated from the injured list.

O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Tigers.

O'Hoppe turned in his seventh multi-hit performance of the season Thursday. The 25-year-old backstop entered Thursday with an elite 21.8 percent barrel rate on the season, and he appears to be starting another power surge after homering in five of his first seven outings of the year. Across his last seven games, O'Hoppe is batting .269 (7-for-26) with four long balls and six RBI.

Torres is dealing with a hamstring injury and will not be in the lineup Friday against the Angels, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Torres was removed from Thursday's game after singling to lead off the eighth inning. Manager A.J. Hinch stated after the contest that Torres was set for a day off Friday regardless of the injury, so there doesn't seem to be much concern about the issue at this point.

Dingler went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in Thursday's win over the Angels.

It was the second three-hit attack of the campaign by Dingler, who also matched a season high with three RBI on Thursday. Over his last 17 outings, the catcher is hitting .284 (19-for-67) with three homers, four doubles, nine RBI and five runs scored as Detroit's primary backstop. Dingler has zero walks through 87 plate appearances, so his plate discipline remains a work in progress.

Loaisiga (elbow) has made two appearances with Single-A Tampa but isn't expected to be activated from the injured list for "a few weeks," per MLB.com.

Loaisiga has excelled so far in his pair of rehab outings, posting a 4:0 K:BB and allowing just one hit over two scoreless innings. However, he hasn't pitched in a major-league game since last April, so he won't be rushed back into big-league action. The Yankees will likely move Loaisiga's rehab stint up to Double-A or Triple-A in the near future and want him to pitch on back-to-back days before they consider activating him from the injured list.

Montgomery allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk while striking out two Thursday against the Royals.

Montgomery has pitched in some high-leverage spots for the Rays early on this season. He's entered contests in the seventh inning or later with a run differential of two or less in six of his 11 appearances, and he's recorded three holds. His surface results have been mediocre as he's allowed an earned run in four of his outings and has a 5.06 ERA, though he does have an impressive 15:4 K:BB.

Trout (knee) will be placed on the injured list due to a left knee bruise, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Trout has been dealing with the injury since Wednesday and was out of the lineup Thursday. The Angels have consistently downplayed the injury, and manager Ron Washington said that there is no structural damage. It's anticipated that Trout will be sidelined for a relatively short period, though no timeline has been announced.
