Urias was pulled from Thursday's game against the Cubs in the fourth inning due to an apparent injury to his lower half, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Urias tweaked something while legging out a double in the top of the fourth inning. He initially stayed in to run the bases but did not return to the field for the bottom of the frame. The Blue Jays should offer an update on Urias' status shortly.

Foscue went 1-for-2 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-0 win over San Francisco.

Foscue played a role in Texas' four-run third inning, connecting for the first triple of his career, which drove in two runs. He also scored in that inning. He served as the designated hitter with a left-hander on the bump for the Giants, and as has often been the case for the right-handed-batting Foscue, he was removed for a pinch hitter when a right-handed reliever entered the contest.

Altuve went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays.

Altuve opened the scoring in the third inning with a 401-foot blast off Jameson Taillon, his 13th homer of the season and his first extra-base hit in 14 games. While Altuve hasn't mustered much power, Wednesday's performance did mark his fourth straight multi-hit game -- he's gone 9-for-18 with four RBI in that span. Overall, Altuve is slashing .244/.305/.398 across 391 plate appearances this year with 54 runs scored, 34 RBI and a pair of stolen bases.

Clement went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Astros.

The All-Star second baseman took Bennett Sousa deep in the top of the 10th inning to break a 3-3 tie. It was Clement's first long ball since the All-Star break, snapping an 18-game drought, and on the season he's produced a .285/.310/.415 slash line with nine homers, four steals, 38 RBI and 48 runs in 112 contests.

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

Keaschall will get the evening off after he made starts in each of the Twins' last eight games while going 8-for-27 (.296 average) with two home runs and four RBI. Minnesota will roll out a starting outfield of Trevor Larnach, Kody Clemens and Austin Martin from left to right.

Seigler is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Seigler looked as though he would settle back into a regular role at second base after Curtis Mead fractured his wrist in his team debut July 27, but the Red Sox have instead prioritized Nick Sogard ahead of him. Sogard will make a third consecutive start at the keystone Wednesday, with Seigler having been left out of the lineup for each of those contests. Seigler hasn't helped his case for playing time by going just 1-for-20 at the plate over his last eight contests.

Sogard will start at second base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

After Curtis Mead fractured his left wrist in his team debut July 27, Sogard has emerged as the Red Sox's preferred option at the keystone. Sogard will draw his fifth consecutive start and has received the nod at second base over Anthony Seigler in four of those games. The 28-year-old also appears to be gaining traction as the Red Sox's table setter, with Sogard earning the appointment atop the lineup by getting on base at a .417 clip since he was called up from Triple-A Worcester a week ago.

McNeil will start at first base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Reds.

McNeil will be included in the lineup for a third straight game and appears to have reclaimed a regular starting role against right-handed pitching in the wake of Nick Kurtz's (thumb) move to the injured list. The 34-year-old has been dialed in at the dish since the All-Star break, slashing .413/.438/.522 with one home run, two steals, nine RBI and six runs in 15 games.

Williamson was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rockies due to a hamstring injury, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Williamson seemingly injured himself while running to first base in the ninth inning and had to be helped down the steps into the dugout. The Rays will take a closer look at him and should provide more information on his status ahead of Friday's series opener in Seattle.

Altuve went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.

It's the third straight multi-hit game for Altuve, who's gone 7-for-13 in that span, though all seven hits have been singles. Altuve has gone 13 contests without an extra-base hit -- he's batting .278 (15-for-54) in that span, albeit with a .581 OPS. Overall, Altuve is slashing .241/.304/.389 through 386 plate appearances this season with 12 homers, 33 RBI, 53 runs scored and two steals.
