Urias went 3-for-5 with one RBI in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Angels.

Urias has logged multiple hits in four of his last five games, going 10-for-20 (.500) in that span. The infielder's playing time has dropped with the arrival of top prospects, but he's still doing fairly well when he gets the chance to play. For the season, Urias has a .266/.330/.384 slash line with four home runs, 39 RBI, 41 runs scored and three stolen bases over 97 contests. He'll continue to fill a utility role around the infield.

Walls (groin) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox but could be available off the bench, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 27-year-old indicated he's fully recovered from the groin issue that's sidelined him the past couple days, but he'll still be held out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale. Walls is expected to rejoin the starting nine Thursday versus Seattle but could see more regular off days going forward in an attempt to manage the injury. Osleivis Basabe will receive another start at shortstop in his place.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the White Sox.

Nick Loftin will man third base while Garcia receives a day off. Garcia is in the midst of a modest six-game hitting streak.

Chapman is still waiting for the swelling and inflammation in his right middle finger to go down before ramping up baseball activities, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Chapman is able to field grounders, but he's not clear to throw yet or swing a bat. He will be re-evaluated when the Blue Jays return home to Toronto on Friday. Presumably, the hope is that he will have made enough progress by then to ramp things up.

LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Tigers in a 5-1 win Tuesday.

LeMahieu led off the bottom of the first inning with a solo shot to give the Yankees an early lead. It was the continuation of a recent power surge that has seen the veteran infielder go deep seven times over his past 13 games. Prior to the hot streak, LeMahieu had gone 20 contests without a long ball and had hit just eight homers over the first 104 games of the campaign.

Moncada went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run Tuesday against the Royals.

Moncada homered for the sixth time this season, half of which have come in his last 21 games. He's also chipped in 12 RBI while hitting .333 in that span, albeit with a 28.9 percent strikeout rate. Moncada has inched closer to being a league-average hitter this season, though his fantasy profile is still underwhelming as he has only one stolen base with 30 RBI and 26 runs scored across 284 plate appearances.

Manager Kevin Cash said Walls (groin) is feeling better but isn't expected to rejoin the Rays' lineup until Thursday's game against the Mariners, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls is sitting for the second straight game Tuesday due to a groin issue, and it appears he'll also be sidelined for Wednesday's series finale versus Boston. It doesn't appear to be a serious injury, so the 27-year-old should be back by the end of the week. Vidal Brujan is making a second consecutive start at shortstop Tuesday.

Suarez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Suarez has started at third base or designated hitter in all 137 of Seattle's games so far this season, but he'll finally step out of the starting nine Tuesday while in the midst of a 4-for-33 slump. Jose Caballero will take over at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Walls (groin) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Red Sox.

Walls is a little banged up with minor groin soreness, though the Rays seem confident it's merely a day-to-day situation. He had just returned over the weekend after being out more than six weeks with an oblique strain. Vidal Brujan is getting another start at shortstop while Walls recuperates.

Farmer went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Monday's 20-6 win over the Guardians.

Farmer slugged one of the Twins' three home runs against position player David Fry, who covered the final four innings of the contest to save the Guardians bullpen in a game Cleveland was already trailing by 10 runs when he took over in the top of the sixth. The 33-year-old utility player is now up to nine home runs on the season, with three coming in his last seven games.
