Miranda went 0-for-5 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox. He's hitting .209 (14-for-67) with just two extra-base hits in 17 games this season.

Miranda is off to a slow start, but there's been no sign of him potentially losing his job as he's been a fixture at third base. He's making contact (18.4% K%) and has a .286 xBA (according to Baseball Savant), so there is some hope for a turnaround soon.

Walls went 4-for-5 with a triple, two home runs, four RBI and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 10-0 victory over the Reds.

Walls had a massive night Tuesday, homering from each side of the plate while coming a double shy of the cycle in the Rays' blowout victory. The switch-hitting utility infielder has played 10 games for Tampa Bay this season, slashing .351/.429/.730 with seven RBI and 15 runs scored through 37 at-bats. Walls' has gotten the majority of starts at second base against left-handed pitching, and his positional versatility should earn him a fairly regular role in a potent Rays lineup.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Donaldson (hamstring) is still dealing with tightness and will be evaluated Wednesday before a decision is made on when he might return from the 10-day injured list, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Donaldson went 1-for-3 in the first game of his rehab assignment Tuesday at Double-A Somerset before he was replaced by Delvin Perez. The veteran third baseman has a chance to return to the Yankees on Wednesday, but if he's still feeling tightness in his right hamstring, the club will wait another day or two before adding him back to the roster.

Peterson (wrist) is back in the lineup and hitting fifth while playing third base against the Cubs on Tuesday.

Peterson missed Monday's game while dealing with a wrist injury he suffered during Sunday's game against the Mets. Aledmys Diaz is the designated hitter for Tuesday's game and Jesus Aguilar will begin the contest on the bench.

Donaldson (hamstring) has commenced a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset starting Tuesday.

Donaldson will get back on the field for the Patriots in Double-A before rejoining the Yankees as soon as Wednesday. The infielder should return to starting at third for the Yankees well before the end of the week at the latest.

Urias has cleared concussion protocol and is available off the bench for the Orioles on Tuesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Urias hasn't played since being hit in the head by a pitch during Saturday's game against the White Sox, but he's avoided a concussion and is now ready to go when called upon. The infielder has a .788 OPS with one home run in 13 contests this season.

Urshela is starting at second base and batting seventh for the Angels in Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Urshela has now made starts at every infield position this season and should continue to play regularly even if he doesn't have a set position. He's sporting a .780 OPS with one home run over 14 games.

Peraza is starting at second base and batting sixth for the Yankees in Tuesday's game versus the Angels.

Gleyber Torres is getting a day at designated hitter, allowing Peraza to slide into the lineup at the keystone. With Josh Donaldson (hamstring) due back Wednesday, Peraza could be headed back to the minors soon.

Urias (ear) remains out of the Orioles' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

Urias was hit by a pitch in the head during Saturday's game against the White Sox. While it appears he avoided a concussion, he has a bruise behind his ear and is surely still sore. It's not clear whether Urias is available off the bench.

Burger is unlikely to be used at second base once Yoan Moncada (back) returns, White Sox manager Pedro Grifol intimated to Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com on Tuesday.

Burger dabbled at second base briefly with the White Sox last season and has seen a little action at the position in the minors, as well. However, Grifol doesn't seem to view Burger as a realistic option at the keystone, citing the shift restrictions making the position more demanding. It's possible the White Sox will look for other ways to keep Burger's bat in the lineup if he continues hitting, though. Burger entered play Tuesday with home runs in three straight games and four overall in eight games this season.
