Urias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Reds.

His third-inning blast off Sonny Gray got the Brewers on the board. The 23-year-old got the start at second base with Kolten Wong (right arm) sidelined, but the addition of Willy Adames to the Milwaukee lineup will relegate Urias to the bench when everyone is healthy. On the season, he's hitting just .211 with five homers and 20 RBI through 41 games.

Arraez experienced right shoulder discomfort during Saturday's loss to Cleveland, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

The 24-year-old played through the injury Saturday without exiting the contest and went 2-for-5 with a caught stealing. It doesn't appear to be a serious concern, so Arraez should be considered day-to-day.

Biggio was placed on the 10-day injured list with a cervical spine ligament sprain Saturday.

Biggio was held out of Friday's lineup with what was originally referred to as a sore neck. He wound up appearing off the bench, but the injury is evidently bad enough that he'll need to be shut down for at least 10 days. Whether or not he'll be able to return when first eligible at the start of June remains to be seen. Santiago Espinal will start at third base Saturday and could feature regularly until he returns.

Polanco (ankle) remains on the bench for Saturday's game in Cleveland, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Polanco left the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Angels with a sore right ankle and did not take part in Friday's contest. He'll remain on the bench Saturday, with Luis Arraez starting at second base.

Marte is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

It appears to be a regular day of rest for Marte, who has gone 2-for-10 since coming off the injured list. The 27-year-old was an offensive force, albeit in a small sample, before suffering the hamstring injury and will be one of his team's most valuable contributors once he gets back in the swing of things.

Semien went 3-for-6 with a double, a triple, a home run, three runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 9-7 extra-innings loss to the Rays.

The veteran infielder couldn't come up with the single he needed for the cycle, but it was still a very impressive performance. Semien has hit safely in five straight games with four of them being multi-hit efforts, and he's slashing a blistering .380/.430/.747 in May with six homers, two steals, 18 RBI and 19 runs in 19 contests.

Lowe went 2-for-3 with three walks, two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 9-7 extra-innings win over the Blue Jays.

He got the Rays on the board with a two-run shot in the third inning before adding a solo blast in the fifth, and Toronto pitchers wanted nothing to do with him after that. Lowe may be gearing up for one of his patented hot streaks (6-for-21 over his last five games with three homers and six RBI).

Altuve went 1-for-6 with an RBI in Friday's 7-5 extra-inning loss to the Rangers.

Altuve's eighth-inning single plated the game-tying run and extended his hitting streak to 15 games. The second baseman and leadoff hitter is 25-for-66 (.379) with four home runs, 10 RBI and 13 runs scored during the hit streak. His subpar 2020 season appears to have been a minor blip, as Altuve is slashing .308/.363/.455 in 34 games.

Marte batted leadoff and went 1-for-5 in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Rockies.

This was Marte's second start since coming off the injured list and first as the leadoff batter. He was the primary leadoff hitter before the injury but slotted in at the two hole Thursday before returning to his customary spot Friday.

Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a double and three runs scored in Friday's 12-3 win over the Cubs.

Hoerner doubled and scored in the fifth inning and later came around to score in both the seventh and eighth. He's riding a five-game hitting streak, going 8-for-20 with six runs scored during that span. Hoerner owns an .885 OPS through 18 games this season.
