Prieto has a .364/.411/.485 slash line with two home runs, three steals and more walks (seven) than strikeouts (five) through 107 plate appearances with Double-A Bowie.

The lefty-hitting Cuban infielder got $650,000 in January of 2022 due to the strength of his hit tool, and thus far he has shown major improvements in a repeat of Double-A, where he was below league average (77 wRC+) in 90 games last year. Prieto's 4.7 percent strikeout rate is by far the best mark in all of Double-A -- next best is Domingo Leyba's 10.1 percent strikeout rate. Prieto, who turns 24 this week, has seen time at second base (11 starts), shortstop (six starts) and third base (five starts).

Urias was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Orioles on Tuesday with a strained left hamstring.

Urias suffered the injury during Monday's loss to the Rays. The severity of the strain is unclear at the moment, and therefore, so is Urias' timetable. Urias is sporting a .756 OPS with one home run and two stolen bases in 30 games this season.

The Yankees placed Peraza (ankle) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

The move is retroactive to Saturday, which means Peraza will be eligible to return May 16. While he hadn't played in nearly a week, Peraza was said to be available off the bench in recent days, so it's reasonable to think he might be ready when his 10 days are up.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 loss against the Tigers.

Ramirez opened the scoring by grounding into a double olay in the first inning, but he wasn't credited with an RBI. His fourth home run of the season came in the fourth and cut Detroit's lead to 4-2, but he was retired his next two times up, including in the sixth when he accounted for the game-tying run. Ramirez has hit safely in seven straight games and is currently slashing .281/.361/.452 across 35 contests (155 plate appearances). Given his standards, the third baseman is struggling in the power department to start the year, but he has more walks (18) than strikeouts (13), which suggests the power numbers will come eventually.

Urias suffered a left hamstring strain during Monday's game against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. He went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks prior to departing.

Urias was forced from the contest in the bottom of the ninth inning after suffering the injury. He's likely headed for further evaluation to determine the extent of the strain.

Urias left Monday's game against the Rays due to an undisclosed injury, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Urias appeared to suffer the injury after singling in the bottom of the ninth inning. He'll be considered day-to-day until the extent of the injury becomes known.

Paredes is absent from the Rays' lineup for Monday's game in Baltimore, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

It's the second game out of the last three that Paredes has been on the bench. The Rays are going with Taylor Walls at third base.

Peraza (ankle) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Peraza hasn't started in a game in a week and hasn't made an appearance since last Wednesday while he contends with a right ankle sprain. The rookie appears to be reasonably healthy at this point, however, as manager Aaron Boone said prior to Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Rays that Peraza was available off the bench, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. Peraza looks as though he'll be limited to a utility role while he's with the big club.

Urshela went 3-for-5 and scored a run in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.

Urshela recorded his fourth three-hit game of the season in the loss, lifting his season slash line to .304/.328/.348. He's gone 6-for-10 over his past three games, but he hasn't collected an extra-base hit since since going deep against Boston on April 15.

Peterson is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Yankees.

Peterson will remain on the bench Monday as the Athletics face left-hander Nestor Cortes on the mound. Kevin Smith will draw the start at third base and bat eighth in the series opener.
