Paredes went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in Monday's 5-1 win over the Yankees.

Paredes now has eight home runs through 20 games this month, including three in his last three contests. He's up to 21 long balls on the year, a new career high. Overall, the 24-year-old Paredes is slashing .258/.363/.516 with 63 RBI and 48 runs scored across 358 plate appearances this season.

Paredes underwent initial X-rays on Sunday that showed no fractures to his ribs, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes exited Sunday's matchup against the Mariners following a collision at third base, and he's been diagnosed with left rib discomfort.

Paredes was diagnosed with left rib discomfort after exiting Sunday's game against the Mariners, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Paredes was removed from Sunday's matchup immediately after a collision on the basepaths in the bottom of the third inning.

Paredes isn't in the Rays' lineup Saturday against Seattle.

The 24-year-old third baseman is 4-for-17 with an RBI and two runs scored over his last five games, and he'll get a breather Saturday. Yandy Diaz will shift to third base in Paredes' absence, moving Luke Raley to first base and allowing Harold Ramirez to serve as the Rays' designated hitter.

Paredes went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Paredes had half of the Rays' hits in the contest. This was the infielder's third multi-hit effort over his last 11 games, a span in which he's gone 12-for-35 (.343) with five extra-base hits. For the season, he's been solid with a .267/.367/.492 slash line, 13 home runs, 50 RBI, 38 runs scored and 14 doubles through 72 contests. He remains on pace for a career year almost across the board, though he has yet to log a stolen base or a triple.

Paredes is not starting Saturday's game against the Royals.

Paredes entered Saturday's game having started 16 consecutive games at third base. He'd hit .271 with an impressive 1.063 OPS in that span, so this should just be a regular day of rest. Vidal Brujan will enter the lineup at second base while Taylor Walls will shift to third base.

Paredes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Orioles.

Paredes launched his 13th homer of the season in the second inning off of Tyler Wells. He's in the midst of a nice seven-game stretch, during which he's gone 8-for-21 with a pair of home runs, four RBI and four runs scored. Paredes has benefitted from the absence of Brandon Lowe (back), as he's started 14 consecutive games at third base.

The 24-year-old is slashing .270/.352/.503 with 11 home runs, 44 RBI and 31 runs scored. Paredes remains on track for a career-best campaign and has seized an everyday role at third recently, with Taylor Walls moving to second while Brandon Lowe (back) is unavailable.

Paredes went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Twins.

His second-inning shot off Pablo Lopez looked like it might be the game's only offense until the final frame, but Paredes' biggest contribution to the outcome might have come on the defensive end. With Minnesota having tied the score in the top of the ninth and threatening to add more with the bases loaded and one out, the third baseman snared a scorching grounder down the line and started a slick inning-ending double play. He remains on pace for a career-best season at the plate, slashing .264/.350/.467 through 55 games with nine homers and 38 RBI, and Brandon Lowe's back injury has pushed Taylor Walls into a near-everyday role at second base -- leaving the hot corner in Paredes' capable hands.

Paredes will start at first base and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Paredes had begun to lose reps at third base to Taylor Walls at the end of May, but the Rays should have near-everyday roles in the infield available for both players for the foreseeable future after Brandon Lowe (back) was moved to the 10-day injured list Monday. While Lowe is on the shelf, Walls will likely take over as the Rays' primary second baseman, though the newly recalled Vidal Brujan will get the nod at the keystone Monday. Paredes, meanwhile, will slide across the diamond while primary first baseman Yandy Diaz gets a day out of the field to serve as the Rays' designated hitter.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Though Paredes made two straight starts at third base to close out the weekend series with the Dodgers and went 4-for-9 with a home run, a double and four RBI between those contests, he now finds himself on the bench for the third time in five contests. Paredes' downturn in playing time likely has less to do with his performance and more to do with Taylor Walls', who has seemingly moved out of a utility role and into a near-everyday gig. Paredes shouldn't fall out of the lineup entirely due to Walls' ability to pick up reps at second base and shortstop, but because he provides similar production to Paredes at the plate in addition to offering an upgrade as a defender and baserunner, Walls could become the preferred option at the hot corner more often than not.

Paredes went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer, four RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 11-10 victory over the Dodgers.

Paredes opened the scoring Sunday with a first-inning RBI single. He'd add two more RBI with a double in the second before adding a solo homer off Phil Bickford in the fourth. Paredes has gone 17-for-49 with four home runs and 16 RBI in his last 15 games. He's now slashing .282/.354/.491 with eight homers, 37 RBI and 27 runs scored through 181 plate appearances this season.

Paredes provided all of Tampa Bay's offense in the lopsided defeat with a solo shot off Jose Berrios in the fifth inning.

Paredes will start at third base Tuesday and bat seventh against the Blue Jays.

Paredes was initially absent from Tuesday's lineup, but Brandon Lowe's neck stiffness will force Paredes back into action. The 24-year-old third baseman has been on a mini cold-streak lately, slashing just .071/.133/.071 in his last five games.

Paredes isn't in the Rays' lineup for Tuesday's game against Toronto, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Paredes is absent from the Rays' lineup for Friday's game versus the Brewers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 24-year-old lifted his slash line to .289/.368/.492 with six homers, 28 RBI, 24 runs and a 9:24 BB:K over 144 plate appearances.

Paredes will sit Saturday against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Paredes has hit .255/.327/.431 with four homers in 24 games this season, good for a solidly above-average 117 wRC+, a near match for his 116 wRC+ from last season. That's not enough to exempt him from the Rays' policy of heavy rotation, however, so he'll sit here for the eighth time in the first 34 games. Taylor Walls will start at third base.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes will take a seat after he saw his four-game streak with multiple hits come to an end with an 0-for-3 showing in Tuesday's 4-1 win. Taylor Walls will spell Paredes at third base Wednesday.

Paredes went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 3-2 win over the White Sox.

After raking Lucas Giolito for a pair of two-baggers earlier in the game, Paredes played hero in the top of the ninth inning by crushing a 1-0 pitch from Kendall Graveman deep to left field. Paredes has three multi-hit performances in his last four games, and the streaky 24-year-old sports a .253/.326/.446 slash line through 92 plate appearances with four homers, 15 runs and 18 RBI. Few Tampa Bay position players have true everyday roles, but Paredes' work both at the plate and in the field has allowed him to start 21 of the Rays' 27 games to date.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes will take a seat after he started in each of the previous three games while reaching base five times in 12 plate appearances during that stretch.

Paredes will sit Saturday against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes has homered three times in 18 games this season, not far from his pace of 20 homers in 111 games last year, but his overall .219/.286/.375 slash line is unimpressive. Taylor Walls will get the start at third base in his absence.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Paredes is 4-for-22 over his past six contests and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Toronto. Taylor Walls will man the hot corner and bat sixth.

Paredes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Red Sox.

His fourth-inning blast off Garrett Whitlock was the first of four Rays homers on the night. Paredes has emerged as a consistent starter for Tampa Bay in the early going rather than a utility player, and through 11 games he's batting an impressive .314 (11-for-35) with three homers and 10 RBI.

Paredes went 1-for-3 with three RBI on Saturday against the Athletics.

Paredes has served as the team's primary third baseman through eight games this season, though he has ceded some at-bats to Taylor Walls against right-handed pitching.

Paredes will be on the bench Saturday against Detroit, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes was the No. 3 hitter and third baseman against his former team on Opening Day and went 1-for-4 with a run scored. Taylor Walls will take over at the hot corner Saturday.

Yandy Diaz is expected to play primarily at first base in 2023, leaving Paredes with an opportunity to be the team's primary third baseman, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Though the Rays continue to boast impressive infield depth in both the majors and upper levels of the minors, the departure of Ji-Man Choi relieved some of the playing time jam. Paredes will seek to take advantage of the opportunity after posting 20 home runs, 48 runs scored and 45 RBI across 381 plate appearances with the Rays last season. However, he hasn't acquitted himself particularly well this spring, as he has gone only 5-for-26 with no extra-base hits combined between the World Baseball Classic and spring training contests.

Paredes will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He'll stick in the lineup for the 11th time in 14 games while Yandy Diaz remains bothered by a sore left shoulder, an injury he aggravated in his return from an eight-game absence in Friday's win over the Astros. The Rays seem to be viewing Diaz as day-to-day as the team begins its final series of the regular season, so Paredes' hold on an everyday role could be tenuous.

Paredes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Astros.

Paredes took Lance McCullers yard in the seventh inning to tally his 20th homer of the season. He's held a fairly regular role in the Rays' lineup since Brandon Lowe (back) has been sidelined, maintaining a .318 average with two homers, five RBI and four runs scored across his last nine starts spanning to Sept. 13. Though he's struggled to hit for a decent average, Paredes has a 127 wRC+ and .338 wOBA across 343 plate appearances on the campaign.

Paredes went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Paredes has become a regular in the Rays' lineup once again due to the absence of Brandon Lowe (back). He's collected at least one hit in each of his last three starts, and Thursday's performance was highlighted by a solo home run to lead off the seventh inning and an RBI single two frames later. Paredes now has 19 homers on the season while hitting .219/.302/.465 across 325 plate appearances.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes will take a seat after going 0-for-10 with a walk and six strikeouts while starting each of the past three contests. Though his ability to play three infield spots creates multiple pathways to playing time, the righty-hitting Paredes may settle into more of a short-side platoon role moving forward after the Rays reinstated the lefty-hitting Brandon Lowe (triceps/elbow) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Paredes isn't starting Saturday against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes returned to the lineup Friday against the Yankees but will head to the bench for the third time in the last four games. Jonathan Aranda will take over at the keystone and bat third.

Paredes (undisclosed) is starting at second base and batting seventh Friday against the Yankees, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Paredes has been held out of the lineup the past two games but will rejoin the starting nine Friday. The 23-year-old finished August with a .235/.338/.471 slash line, four home runs, 11 RBI and a 10:10 BB:K in 25 contests.

Paredes (undisclosed) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes should have a clear path to a full-time role in the infield for at least the next week after Brandon Lowe (triceps) was placed on the injured list Wednesday, but he'll first have to overcome his own injury. The 23-year-old will be on the bench for a second straight contest due to the unspecified issue, which caused him to be scratched ahead of Tuesday's 7-2 win.

Paredes was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Marlins.

The 23-year-old was initially penciled in to start at first base Tuesday, but he was replaced by Christian Bethancourt when Tampa Bay released a revised starting nine. It's unclear if Paredes is dealing with an injury or if manager Kevin Cash simply decided on a late lineup change.

Paredes went 2-for-2 with two home runs, three RBI and three walks in Sunday's 12-4 win over the Red Sox.

In the seven-game stretch during which his playing time has ticked up, Paredes is hitting .227/.320/.591 with three RBI and four runs scored.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

The righty-hitting Paredes started in each of the previous five games, but three came with the opposition bringing lefties to the hill. Paredes' ability to play first base, third base and second base will allow him to receive occasional opportunities against right-handed pitching, but Ji-Man Choi, Yandy Diaz, Taylor Walls and Brandon Lowe are the primary candidates to fill out the four infield spots in those matchups.

Paredes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's 11-1 win over the Angels.

Paredes singled in the second inning before taking Jose Suarez deep for a solo homer in the bottom of the sixth. He later added a walk and came around to score again in the seventh frame. The long ball was the 23-year-old's 15th of the year and first since July 26. Paredes is now batting .218 with a home run, six RBI and eight runs over 55 at-bats in August.

Paredes will start at first base and bat third in Monday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He'll pick up his fourth consecutive start Monday after going 2-for-11 with two doubles and a run over the final three contests of the Rays' weekend series with the Royals. The righty-hitting Paredes should be a fixture in the lineup against southpaws moving forward, but his opportunities versus same-handed pitching will likely be more sporadic. He'll be spelling the lefty-hitting Ji-Man Choi in the lineup Monday with southpaw Tucker Davidson taking the hill for Anaheim.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The righty-hitting Paredes should be a fixture in the Tampa Bay lineup versus lefty pitching moving forward, but his opportunities against right-handers are expected to take a hit after Tampa Bay brought Harold Ramirez back from the injured list Tuesday. Paredes is on the bench Wednesday for the third time in the past six contests.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes will take a seat for the second time in four games while Ji-Man Choi and Brandon Lowe pick up starts at first base and second base, respectively, closing off Paredes' primary paths to playing time. Though he closed the weekend with a pair of two-hit games, Paredes has generally struggled since the All-Star break, producing a .208/.291/.333 slash line with just one home run in 13 games.

Paredes isn't starting Saturday against the Guardians, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes is getting a day off after he went 3-for-16 with a solo homer, a walk and four strikeouts over the last four games. Ji-Man Choi is starting at first base while Randy Arozarena serves as the designated hitter.

Paredes went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Orioles.

Paredes singled in the first inning before later taking Spenser Watkins deep for a solo shot in the top of the fourth frame. The homer was his 14th of the year and first in 14 games. After a red-hot stretch from June 20 to July 5 where he launched eight homers and drove in 16 runs, Paredes has gone 5-for-40 with just two extra-base hits and one RBI over his last 11 contests. Overall, the 23-year-old is batting .224 with 14 homers, 29 RBI and 29 runs over 174 at-bats over 54 games in his first season with the Rays.

Paredes isn't in the lineup Monday against the Orioles, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Paredes went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Sunday's loss to the Rays and is out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Ji-Man Choi is starting at first base while Luke Raley serves as the designated hitter.

Paredes isn't starting Saturday against the Royals.

Paredes started the last four games and went 1-for-14 with two runs, four walks and two strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Ji-Man Choi starts at first base with Josh Lowe serving as the designated hitter.

Paredes isn't starting Thursday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes started in the last two games and went 1-for-7 with a double, a run, a walk and a strikeout. However, he'll take a seat for the second time in the last four games while Ji-Man Choi starts at first base with Jonathan Aranda taking over at the keystone.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

With 13 home runs in just 46 big-league games this season, Paredes has emerged as a surprising source of power for Tampa Bay and has stepped into an everyday role as a result. However, after going 1-for-12 with four strikeouts in the Rays' weekend series in Cincinnati, Paredes will get a day off to clear his head. The newly recalled Jonathan Aranda will pick up his second big-league start in place of Paredes, manning second base and batting out of the cleanup spot.

Paredes is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Red Sox, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Paredes will get a breather after he went 2-for-7 with an RBI and two walks in the first two games of the series. Ji-Man Choi will take over at first base and bat fourth against Boston.

Paredes went 4-for-10 with a double, two home runs, five RBI and four runs scored while starting both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.

By homering in both ends of the doubleheader, Paredes upped his total to 13 in just 40 games this season. Eight of those 13 home runs have come in Paredes' last 10 games. Paredes has a .916 OPS, and while it can be dangerous to go chasing hot streaks, this one should at least solidify his playing time for a stretch.

Paredes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Jays.

Paredes took Yusei Kikuchi yard in the fourth inning to tally his 11th homer of the season -- six of which have come in his last seven starts. He's taken over the primary starting role at first base and has likely done enough to maintain everyday at-bats even once the likes of Brandon Lowe (back) and Kevin Kiermaier (hip) return from the injured list.

Paredes went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

While making his fifth start in six games Sunday, Paredes continued his sizzling ways at the plate. Over those five starts, Paredes has produced an otherworldly 2.093 OPS and seven extra-base hits (five home runs and two doubles) in 21 plate appearances. Paredes' hot streak is likely enough for him to hold down a regular role in the Tampa Bay lineup for the time being, with the 23-year-old capable of filling in at first base, third base or second base.

Paredes will start at first base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Even with Wander Franco (quadriceps) making his return from the 10-day injured list Sunday, the righty-hitting Paredes will stick in the lineup against Pirates right-hander Yoansy Contreras. After going 8-for-16 with five home runs and eight RBI across his previous four games, Paredes will pick up his fifth start in six contests. He looks like he could get a look in a near-everyday role for Tampa Bay while he continues to swing a hot bat.

Paredes went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and three RBI in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Pirates.

Paredes singled in the bottom of the sixth before launching a solo homer off Chase De Jong in the bottom of the eighth frame. He later delivered a walkoff two-run single in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving the Rays the 6-5 victory. The long ball was the 23-year-old's 10th of the season and he has now gone deep in three straight games, delivering five homers and eight RBI over those contests. Paredes is now batting .232 with 10 home runs, 20 RBI and 17 runs over 95 at-bats in 33 games this year.

Paredes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Yankees on Wednesday.

After going deep three times against New York on Tuesday, Paredes swatted a solo shot in his first at-bat of Wednesday's contest. His unexpected power surge has Paredes up to nine major-league homers on the campaign to go along with the four long balls he swatted in 25 games with Triple-A Durham. He has never been a prolific home-run hitter in the minors, but there is the possibility that he is learning to tap into his raw power.

Paredes went 3-for-3 with three home runs and four RBI Tuesday against the Yankees.

It was his first multi-hit game since May 30, and he is now hitting .200/.284/.600 with eight home runs over his last 65 at-bats. The Rays have dealt with several injuries to outfielders lately, and while Paredes plays the infield, he could see somewhat regular playing time in the short term if he can continue to make an impact offensively.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes started in four of the Rays' past five games while playing three different positions, but he'll shift back to the bench for the series finale. The righty-hitting Paredes will likely see most of his playing time versus left-handed pitching moving forward.

Paredes is not in Sunday's lineup against the Twins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes is hitting .208 with two home runs, six walks and three strikeouts over his last 10 games. Vidal Brujan will start at second base and bat ninth.

Paredes went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Twins.

Getting the start at second base and batting sixth, Paredes got the Rays on the board in the second inning by taking Devin Smeltzer deep. The 23-year-old has started eight of the last 11 games with Brandon Lowe (back) and Wander Franco (quadriceps) sidelined and been productive, with Paredes slashing .208/.355/.542 over that stretch with two doubles, two of his five homers on the year and a 6:3 BB:K in 31 plate appearances.

Paredes is not in the starting lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Paredes will take a seat for a second consecutive game Thursday as Vidal Brujan will get another start at second base and bat ninth. He is currently in the middle of a 2-for-17 dry spell, so it's possible that the Rays are giving him an extra day of rest to get right.

Paredes is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Paredes started in the last five games and went 2-for-13 with a homer, three runs, three RBI and five walks. Vidal Brujan will take over at the keystone and bat sixth Thursday.

Paredes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the White Sox.

Paredes led off the fifth frame with his fourth home run of the season. He's hit just .161 across his last 10 games, yet has slugged .419 while also collecting six RBI and four runs scored. Paredes figures to maintain increased playing time due to the absences of Wander Franco (quadriceps) and Brandon Lowe (back), but he will also compete with Vidal Brujan and Taylor Walls to be in the lineup.

Paredes went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored Monday against the Rangers.

Paredes was in the lineup for the first time in three games and continued to showcase his ability to hit for power. Across his last six starts, Paredes has three home runs and two doubles while driving in six and scoring five runs. Though he hasn't been able to find a regular starting role in the absence of Brandon Lowe (back), it's possible that Paredes begins to pick up additional playing time over either Taylor Walls or Vidal Brujan -- both of whom have struggled at the plate of late.

Paredes went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs Wednesday against the Tigers.

Paredes was in the lineup for the first time since being recalled to the majors Monday while starting at third base and hitting sixth. He took advantage of the opportunity, slugging homers in the third and eighth frames. Paredes figures to serve a utility role so long as Brandon Lowe (back) is sidelined, and he has collected seven hits across 25 plate appearances this season.

Paredes was recalled by the Rays on Monday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Paredes joins the team with Brandon Lowe (back) hitting the injured list. He could spend some time filling in for Lowe at second base, though Vidal Brujan will start there Monday against the Tigers and may be the preferred option.

The Rays optioned Paredes to Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes will lose his spot on the 26-man active roster after the Rays reinstated Ji-Man Choi (elbow) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his week-long stay with Tampa Bay, Paredes appeared in six games and went 5-for-19 with a double, two runs and two RBI.

Paredes went 1-for-2 with two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Athletics.

Paredes has drawn only one start since being recalled from Triple-A Durham on Sunday, though he entered Tuesday's game as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning. While he struck out in his initial plate appearance, Paredes redeemed himself with a two-RBI single in the following frame. There doesn't appear to be a consistent path to plate appearances for Paredes at this point, but he has collected two hits in first seven at-bats with the Rays.

Paredes went 1-for-4 with a strikeout Sunday against the Twins.

Paredes was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Sunday after Ji-Man Choi (elbow) was placed on the injured list. Paredes was immediately inserted into the lineup, starting at third base and hitting seventh. He could see regular playing time with Choi sidelined, as Yandy Diaz is capable of serving as the first baseman in a shift that would open playing time at the hot corner.

The Rays recalled Paredes from Triple-A Durham on Sunday.

He'll join the big club for the first time after the Rays optioned him to Durham following his acquisition from the Tigers on April 4. The 23-year-old infielder got off to a hot start to the campaign at Durham, slashing .270/.356/.500 with 10 extra-base hits and 15 RBI across 87 plate appearances. The righty-hitting Paredes could be an option to fill a short-side platoon role at either third or second base while he's up with the Rays.

Paredes was traded to the Rays on Monday in exchange for Austin Meadows and a 2022 draft pick, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Paredes has shown that he can play all over the infield, adding future versatility for Tampa Bay. The infielder was optioned to Triple-A just a few days earlier, so unless the Rays decided to bump him up to the Opening Day roster over the next few days, he'll begin the year at Triple-A Durham.

Paredes was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Pareds missed some time during camp with a hand injury and won't end up making Detroit's Opening Day roster. He had a .625 OPS in 23 big-league games during 2021 and could receive a call-up when the Tigers require infield depth this season.

Paredes (hand) is listed as an available reserve for Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Paredes hasn't played since exiting Sunday's game against the Orioles after taking a pitch off his right hand, but he looks like he could see some action off the bench Wednesday. Assuming his hand doesn't bother him heading into Opening Day, Paredes could break camp with the Tigers as a utility infielder.

Paredes was hit by a pitch on his right hand and exited Sunday's Grapefruit League game, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Initial reports suggest Paredes avoided serious injury, with manager A.J. Hinch stating that "initial indications are positive." Nevertheless, Paredes will be re-tested Monday and is officially deemed day-to-day. He's projected to a fill a utility infield role for the Tigers once the regular season begins.

Paredes will sit Friday against the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Paredes hits the bench for the second time in three games. Willi Castro starts at second base.

Paredes isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Paredes had started each of the last four games, and he went 4-for-14 with two doubles, a run, an RBI, two walks and two strikeouts. Harold Castro will take his place at the keystone and bat sixth.

Paredes will start at second base and bat sixth Monday against the White Sox.

Making his third straight start at the keystone Monday, Paredes appears to have usurped Willi Castro as Detroit's preferred option at the position heading into the final week of the season. Since his Sept. 19 call-up from Triple-A Toledo, Paredes has appeared in four contests for Detroit while going 2-for-12 with a double, three walks, an RBI and a run.

Paredes went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and an RBI in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Royals.

Paredes doubled home a run in the ninth inning against Kansas City closer Scott Barlow, providing all of Detroit's offense on the day. The 22-year-old has only seen 18 games of action at the MLB level this season but may get a longer look down the stretch for the 75-80 Tigers. His two hits Sunday were his first in the majors since July, and his RBI was his first since June.

Paredes was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The 22-year-old has been in the minors the past month after recovering from the hip injury, and he'll rejoin the Tigers on Sunday with Derek Hill (knee) and Gregory Soto) finger) heading to the injured list.

Paredes (hip) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.

Paredes spent just under a month on the injured list with a right hip strain, but he began a rehab assignment last week. The 22-year-old went 2-for-11 with a homer, four runs, three RBI and six walks across four games with Low-A Lakeland and Triple-A Toledo, and he'll remain with the Triple-A club now that he's back to full health.

Paredes (hip) began a rehab assignment with Low-A Lakeland Thursday.

Paredes has been sidelined since July 22 and was expected to be back shortly a minimum stint on the injured list. However, he suffered a setback in his initial attempt to return. After taking batting practice Sunday, Paredes is now ready for game action once again should be activated within roughly a week assuming he suffers no additional soreness or discomfort.

Paredes (hip) took live batting practice Sunday against rehabbing left-hander Matthew Boyd (triceps) at the Tigers' spring training facility in Lakeland, Fla., Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Paredes was pulled off his rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo last week after suffering a setback in his recovery from a strained right hip, but his ability to get back on the field to take swings suggests he hasn't been shut down entirely. The Tigers may want to see Paredes resume defensive drills in the field before sending him back out on the rehab assignment.

Paredes (hip) took live batting practice Sunday against rehabbing left-hander Matthew Boyd (triceps) at the Tigers' spring training facility in Lakeland, Fla., Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Paredes was pulled off his rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo last week after suffering a setback in his recovery from a strained right hip, but his ability to get back on the field to take swings suggests he hasn't been shutdown entirely. The Tigers may want to see Paredes resume defensive drills in the field before sending him back out on the rehab assignment.

Paredes (hip) will be shutdown for five days due to a setback in his rehab, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

The infielder had appeared in three rehab games for Triple-A Toledo, going 1-for-7 with a double and two walks. It's unclear how significant the setback is, but the Tigers will certainly be cautious with the 22-year-old as he recovers from a right hip strain. More details about Paredes' condition and a timeframe for his return should become clear in five days when his rehab will likely resume.

Paredes (hip) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Friday, going 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run in the affiliate's 11-1 win over Omaha.

Paredes was up with the big club for less than a week before he suffered a right hip strain that resulted in him being placed on the injured list July 22. Before being placed on the shelf, Paredes had been serving as the Tigers' primary second baseman, but those duties have since fallen to Willi Castro.

The Tigers placed Paredes on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right hip strain.

Paredes had been withheld from the lineup the previous two days with what was described as a sore hip, but upon further evaluation, the Tigers reclassified the infielder's injury as a strain. The transaction is retroactive to Tuesday, so Paredes will first be eligible to return from the IL on July 31. Detroit called up Willi Castro from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move, and he and Harold Castro will likely share second base until either Paredes or Niko Goodrum (calf) is back in action.

Paredes (hip) was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

According to Evan Woodbery of MLive.com, the Tigers believed Paredes was ready to return from a one-game absence, but his sore hip was apparently still presenting issues for him when he went through a workout earlier Wednesday. Harold Castro will pick up another start at second base in place of Paredes, who is considered day-to-day.

Paredes (hip) will start at second base and bat sixth Wednesday against the Rangers, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Paredes checks back into the lineup after a sore hip relegated him to a bench role in Tuesday's 4-1 win. He'll likely serve as Detroit's primary option at the keystone until Niko Goodrum (calf) is ready tor return from the injured list.

Paredes (hip) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Paredes picked up a sore hip during Monday's 14-0 win, so he'll get Tuesday off to recuperate. Harold Castro fills in at second base for Paredes, who went 3-for-3 with a double and a run in the blowout victory.

Paredes is being considered day-to-day due to hip soreness, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Paredes appears to have suffered the injury during Monday's matchup, and the team will closely monitor his status moving forward. His availability for Tuesday is currently in question.

Paredes was added to the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Paredes was initially slated to get a day off Monday, but he'll join the starting nine after Jake Rogers (arm) was a late scratch. He'll play third base and bat eighth.

Paredes isn't starting Monday's game against the Rangers.

Paredes had started in two of the last three games, and he went 2-for-7 during that time. Jonathan Schoop will take over at the keystone while Miguel Cabrera starts at first base.

Paredes is starting at second base and batting sixth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Paredes started one of the two games in Saturday's doubleheader and will start again to wrap up the series. It looks like the 22-year-old will get plenty of playing time at the keystone for however long Willi Castro remains at Triple-A, with Harold Castro sticking in his utility role.

Paredes is starting at second base and batting sixth in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Paredes was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday but didn't get the chance to play when the twin bill was rained out. The 22-year-old is slashing just .172/.297/.345 in 11 games this season, but the Tigers likely want to evaluate their young players a bit more in the second half, so Paredes could see fairly regular playing time while he's with the big club.

Paredes was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

The 22-year-old was sent to Triple-A in late June but will rejoin the Tigers to open the second half of the season. Paredes is 5-for-29 with a homer, four RBI and three runs in 11 major-league games in 2021, but more playing time should be available at the keystone with Willi Castro optioned to Toledo in a corresponding move.

Paredes was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros.

Paredes recorded two hits in eight at-bats since being recalled June 19. He'll return to the minors for the time being, though he's a strong candidate to rejoin the club at some point later this summer. Zack Short remained on the 26-man roster after serving as the 27th man for the twin bill.

Paredes will start at shortstop and bat eighth against the Cardinals.

Since Niko Goodrum sustained a sprained finger Friday that resulted in his move to the injured list, the Tigers have split the starts at shortstop between Harold Castro and Paredes, who will enter the lineup for the second time in three days. Both of the right-handed Paredes' starts have come against right-handed pitching, so the Tigers don't appear to be entertaining the idea of a platoon between Paredes and the lefty-hitting Castro.

Paredes was recalled by the Tigers on Saturday.

The 22-year-old spent six days on the major-league roster earlier in June before getting optioned on Monday. He grabbed just three hits in six games and now owns a career .207/.273/.306 slash line in 132 plate appearances at the highest level. Niko Goodrum (finger) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Paredes was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

The 22-year-old was promoted from Triple-A last week and went 3-for-21 with a home run, two RBI and two runs in six appearances during his brief time with the team. Paredes could rejoin the Tigers later in the season when the team requires infield depth.

Paredes isn't starting Monday against the Royals.

Paredes had started each of the last six games, but he'll get a breather after he went 0-for-5 with two walks and two strikeouts across his last two appearances. Harold Castro will take over at third base and bat second.

Paredes is starting at shortstop Friday against the White Sox.

Paredes's starting nod at shortstop comes as a bit of a surprise given that he was called up to fill in for Jeimer Candelario (personal) at third base, and is widely expected to see the bulk of his innings at the hot corner or second base in the coming years. Per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com, manager A.J. Hinch wants to give Paredes a look at shortstop, saying the prospect received "favorable reviews" during his time at the position during the minors.

The Tigers recalled Paredes from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

While he's up with the big club, Paredes should get the chance to fill in at third base for Jeimer Candelario (personal), who was placed on the bereavement list in a corresponding move. Paredes maintains a .732 OPS through 125 plate appearances at Triple-A this season, but he was far less impressive at the big-league level in 2020. He slashed .220/.278/.290 in 34 games with the Tigers last season, producing only five extra-base hits (one home run, four doubles) and no stolen bases across 108 plate appearances.

Paredes was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Paredes was thought to be in the mix for a starting role despite hitting .220/.278/.290 in his 34-game debut last season, but his .435 spring OPS didn't exactly help his case. His demotion could open up starts for non-roster invitee Renato Nunez, though the team could also turn to utility players Harold Castro or Niko Goodrum.

Paredes went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.

Paredes was a late arrival to camp due to visa issues, but he's jumped out to a 3-for-9 start at the plate with the one home run. The 22-year-old recently played some second base in a Grapefruit League game, though he projects as the Tigers' regular third baseman once the regular season begins.

Paredes looked good at second base in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Paredes made a few diving catches and received strong reviews from teammates for his play at the keystone. The 22-year-old exclusively played third base during his debut 2020 season, but the ability to play several infield positions could help him earn more at-bats this season. Jonathan Schoop, who arrived at camp Sunday after being delayed due to visa issues, figures to be the regular second baseman for the Tigers once he clears intake testing and gets up to speed.

Paredes (visa issues) is scheduled to make his Grapefruit League debut Wednesday against the Phillies, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Paredes didn't arrive last week for the start of workouts for position players, but he's since resolved his immigration status. Though he'll be on the bench for Monday's game against the Yankees, the Tigers want him to put in another workout or two before clearing him for his spring debut. The 22-year-old is the leading candidate to serve as the Tigers' Opening Day starter at third base.

Paredes won't be available for Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies while he waits to pass a physical, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

After his arrival to spring training was delayed by visa issues, Paredes wasn't scheduled to start in Sunday's spring opener, but the 22-year-old has at least completed his COVID-19 intake testing. Passing the physical should merely be a formality for Paredes, who could be ready to play as soon as Monday's game against the Yankees.

Paredes' arrival at camp has been delayed due to visa issues, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Paredes is one of six Tigers who have yet to report for similar reasons. With Opening Day still more than a month away, he'll have plenty of time to get ready for the start of the season assuming the delay doesn't stretch on for too long.

Paredes went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Twins.

Paredes collected three hits in a game for just the second time this season, and it was his first multi-hit effort of any kind since Aug. 25. The 21-year-old rookie hasn't done much at the plate with a .590 OPS across 30 games this year, though he should factor into the 2021 plans for the rebuilding Tigers.

Paredes was added to Saturday's lineup against Cleveland.

Paredes was initially slated to get a day off, but he'll enter the lineup after Miguel Cabrera was scratched with an illness unrelated to COVID-19. Harold Castro will serve as the designated hitter with Paredes taking over at third base.

Paredes isn't starting Saturday against Cleveland.

Paredes has recorded hits in each of his last five games, but he'll get a breather for Saturday's contest. Harold Castro will start at third base in his absence.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

He'll give way to Sergio Alcantara at third base in the series finale after starting in five of the previous seven contests. Since his Aug. 17 callup, Paredes is slashing .179/.236/.269 over his first 72 plate appearances in the big leagues.

Paredes will be on the bench Saturday against the White Sox.

Paredes has struggled at the plate in his debut season, hitting .155/.222/.224 through his first 21 games. Sergio Alcantara starts at third base in his absence.

Paredes isn't in the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Paredes will take a seat for Thursday's nightcap after generating one single in three at-bats during Game 1. Sergio Alcantara will take over at third base during the second game.

Paredes isn't in Tuesday's lineup against the Brewers.

Paredes has gone 0-for-18 with seven strikeouts over the past seven games, and he'll get a day off Tuesday. Sergio Alcantara will start at the hot corner in his place.

Paredes is not starting Tuesday against the Brewers.

Paredes has been decent at the plate through his first 11 big-league games, hitting .258/.361/.387. Willi Castro will take over at third base Tuesday.

Paredes isn't in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Paredes will take a breather after starting eight of the last 10 games at third base. Willi Castro will serve as the third baseman for Saturday's matinee.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Twins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Paredes has started eight of 10 games at third base since making his big-league debut Aug. 17, but he'll take a seat for Friday's Game 1, though he could still start the nightcap. He has a .269/.367/.423 slash line with one homer through 30 plate appearances. Willi Castro starts at third base for the Tigers in the matinee.

Paredes isn't in the lineup Monday against the Cubs.

Paredes has gotten the bulk of playing time at third base since joining the active roster and went 3-for-4 with a double and a strikeout Sunday. However, he'll get a breather Monday with Willi Castro starting at the hot corner.

Paredes went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's 10-5 win over Cleveland.

Parades picked a good time for his first MLB home run, as his fourth-inning grand slam was part of a seven-run frame for the Tigers as they completely erased a 5-0 deficit. The rookie struck out in his other three at-bats, and he's still batting just .154, so continued growing pains are to be expected for the 21-year-old, though he figures to keep playing regularly at third base for a rebuilding Detroit squad.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

After getting called up from the Tigers' alternate training site, Paredes started in each of the team's past three games at third base, going 1-for-9 with two walks, two RBI and a run scored. Willi Castro will get the nod at the hot corner Thursday, but expect Paredes to serve as the primary option at the position while he's up with the big club.

Paredes went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 7-2 loss to the White Sox.

Parades plated Detroit's only runs of the night on a fourth inning single. The 21-year-old is one of the organization's top prospects, and he should see regular action at third base or shortstop moving forward. He started at third in this one, with Willi Castro starting at short. Regular shortstop Niko Goodrum is day-to-day with a back injury, and it will be interesting to see what role Paredes has once Goodrum returns.

The Tigers selected Paredes' contract from their alternate training site Monday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Detroit called up three of their top prospects Monday, with starting pitchers Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize also making the jump from the alternate site. Skubal is slated to start Tuesday's game against the White Sox while Mize is scheduled to pitch Wednesday, so Paredes should be the first of the trio to debut, as general manager Al Avila said he expects the 21-year-old to be included in the lineup for Monday's series opener, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Paredes is expected to see most of his action at third base or shortstop, where Willi Castro and Niko Goodrum, respectively, have been serving as Detroit's top options. Since Goodrum is day-to-day with a back injury, Castro could temporarily slide over to shortstop to open up reps at the hot corner for Paredes, who slashed .282/.368/.416 with 13 home runs, five stolen bases and a 57:61 BB:K over 552 plate appearances at Double-A Erie last season.

Paredes was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Friday but will remain at the Tigers' alternate training site.

A positive COVID-19 test cost Paredes most of summer camp, though he likely wouldn't have been a favorite for a roster spot even if healthy. He's yet to reach Triple-A but did record a solid .282/.368/.416 slash line in 127 games for Double-A Erie last year.

Paredes will open the year at the Tigers' alternate training site.

This isn't a surprise, despite the fact Paredes is on the 40-man roster. He missed time in February with a sore right shoulder and then tested positive for COVID-19. Paredes only rejoined the team last weekend, so he is behind the rest of the position players from a reps standpoint. Manager Ron Gardenhire noted that the infielder needs to get back into baseball shape. It's possible that we will see him make his MLB debut later this summer, but it's much more likely that he doesn't debut until 2021.

The Tigers plan to proceed slowly with Paredes due to the time he's missed over the spring and early summer, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Back in late February, Paredes missed some time in camp due to a sore right shoulder. The 21-year-old also has missed time since the team started summer camp, and he acknowledged that was due to a positive COVID-19 test. He was cleared to rejoin the team Friday and said he's feeling better, but the team won't rush him along. "He's missed a lot of time," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We're going to let him ease back into this thing. He needs to get back into baseball shape, so we don't expect him to do too much here." Parades has yet to appear above Double-A, so he was unlikely to debut in the majors this year anyways, but his lost offseason should pretty much guarantee that he won't see MLB action until 2021 at the earliest.

Paredes (undisclosed) was cleared to join his teammates Friday.

Paredes had been on the 10-day injured list for unspecified reasons. He'll be part of the Tigers' player pool this season but isn't a strong candidate for big-league at-bats, as he's yet to reach Triple-A.

Paredes was placed on the 10-day injured list for undisclosed reasons Friday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

The Tigers wouldn't legally be allowed to confirm whether or not Paredes' absence is related to COVID-19. It's not clear when Paredes is expected to return to the field, though he's unlikely to play a major role in Detroit this season even if healthy, as he's yet to advance beyond Double-A.

Paredes will probably get 400-500 at-bats at the Triple-A level before making his MLB debut, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Paredes would have likely made his MLB debut at some point this season if there was a normal schedule, but with play currently delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, it's unclear how soon he'll be able to log those Triple-A at-bats. The 21-year-old has never appeared above Double-A, so it makes sense that the Tigers want to get him some extended time at Triple-A before pushing him to the majors. Paredes may now have to wait until 2021 for his big league debut.

Paredes was optioned to Triple-A Toledo.

The move was officially made March 10. He went 0-for-5 in three spring games for Detroit. Paredes would have likely made his MLB debut at some point this season if there were a full 162 games, but a shortened season could delay his big-league debut until 2021.

Paredes (arm) is listed as an available reserve option on the lineup card for Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Paredes looks like he may be in store for his spring debut after previously tending to a sore right arm early in camp. Since the 21-year-old isn't a serious candidate for the Opening Day roster, he may only make a few appearances in the Grapefruit League slate before heading to the Tigers' minor-league camp.

Paredes is dealing with right arm soreness, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Paredes has been focusing on developing at third base this spring, but he'll likely be limited for several days as he's experiencing pain in his throwing arm. The 20-year-old is expected to begin the season with Triple-A Toledo, but he could make his major-league debut at some point in 2020 if he cam play well in the minors.

Paredes, who split last season between third base and shortstop, is focusing on third this spring, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

The 20-year-old is not known as a strong defender at shortstop, and his 5-foot-11, 225-pound frame likely plays better at third base moving forward. Paredes is expected to begin the year at Triple-A Toledo, and if he plays well there, he could debut with the Tigers at some point this season.
