Lewis (shoulder) gave up one run in two innings with three strikeouts and one walk Friday during his first rehab outing with the FCL Twins.

Lewis was one of the top lower-level arms in the Twins organization in 2023, as he compiled a 2.49 ERA and 118:33 K:BB in 101.1 innings between Single-A Fort Myers and High-A Cedar Rapids. He had not pitched this season prior to Friday due to a right shoulder impingement. He'll likely move to Double-A Wichita when he finishes his rehab assignment.

The White Sox optioned DeLoach to Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Three days after coming up from the minors and making his MLB debut, DeLoach will return to Triple-A to make room on the roster for Bryan Ramos (quad), who returned from the injured list Saturday. DeLoach came up hitless through five at-bats to begin his big-league career, though he could have another opportunity to play in the majors if the White Sox run into outfield depth issues later in the year.

The White Sox reinstated Ramos (quadriceps) from the injured list Saturday.

Ramos landed on the injured list May 17 due to a left quadriceps strain, and he will now return to the White Sox's lineup after a minimum-length stay. The 22-year-old infielder played two rehab games at Triple-A Charlotte, going 2-for-4 with two walks and a run scored, and he figures to reprise his role as Chicago's everyday third baseman now that he's healthy. Zach DeLoach was optioned to Charlotte in a corresponding move.

Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a walk and a double in Friday's loss to the Tigers.

It marks the fourth time in the last seven games that Guerrero has banged out multiple hits. The first baseman has put a sluggish start to the season behind him, and over the last month he's slashing .382/.455/.517 in 23 games with two homers, a steal, 13 runs and 14 RBI.

Torkelson isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Torkelson will get a day to clear his head after going 0-for-16 across his last five contests. Mark Canha will cover first base for the Tigers on Saturday, moving Colt Keith into the DH spot while Zach McKinstry starts at second.

Ramos (quadriceps) is expected to be activated to start at third base Saturday against the Orioles, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Nothing's official yet, but it sounds like Ramos will return against right-hander Albert Suarez after missing the minimum 10 days with a left quad strain. Ramos, 22, has displayed an impressive skill set during his time in the minors, and that's made him one of the organization's top prospects, though his ceiling is up for some debate. Regardless, the White Sox have every incentive to give Ramos at-bats this season if he can hold his own.

Hamilton started at shortstop and went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Brewers.

Hamilton started for the seventh time in the last eight games and is batting .375 with a 1.108 OPS during that stretch. With Hamilton producing at the plate and improving defensively, manager Alex Cora can deploy him at shortstop while moving Ceddanne Rafaela back to center field. Add in Jarren Duran and the Red Sox have some speedsters that can put pressure on the opposition. After a shaky start, Hamilton is up to .261/.320/.435 with five steals.

Smith went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Brewers.

He took Bryse Wilson deep in the sixth inning for his first long ball of the year. Smith has taken over a starting role while Garrett Cooper deals with a slump and a sore shoulder, and Smith has responded by batting .281 (9-for-32) over his last 10 games with two doubles and eight RBI.

Crawford (2-3) took the loss Friday, coughing up six runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.1 innings as the Red Sox fell 7-2 to the Brewers. He struck out four.

It was the worst performance of the season for the right-hander, who failed to complete five innings for the first time since April 5 and got tagged for more than three earned runs for just the second time in 11 starts. Crawford will take a 2.89 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 61:20 K:BB through 62.1 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Baltimore.

Casas (ribs) took grounders at first base Friday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Casas began throwing during Boston's previous homestand and has also been running and lifting. The next step for Casas will be swinging a bat, which requires rotation and puts more stress on the ribs and torso. No target date has been set for that yet.
