Bride (shoulder) went 3-for-12 with two walks and two runs in three games for Single-A Stockton against Fresno over the weekend.

Bride has now appeared in seven rehab games overall and played a full nine innings at third base in two of the three weekend contests with the Ports, seemingly indicating he'd be ready for activation. Given he's been eligible to come off the IL since earlier in July, it's certainly possible Bride is reinstated to the active roster ahead of Monday night's series opener against the Astros.

Henderson has hit .268/.386/.496 with six home runs, three steals and a 22:38 BB:K in 35 games since being promoted to Triple-A Norfolk.

He's been unable to sustain his tremendous plate-discipline numbers from Double-A, where Henderson put up a spectacular 41:38 BB:K through 47 games to open 2022. His strikeout rate has spiked by 6.5 percent (to 24.8) and his walk rate has dipped by 5.9 percent (to 14.8) since his promotion, but those are still acceptable figures for a 21-year-old on the doorstep of the majors. Henderson opened his time with Norfolk by putting up a 1.077 OPS with five home runs through his first 19 games, then went 4-for-33 with 15 strikeouts over his next nine games before recovering more recently, putting together a seven-game hitting streak that includes a homer Sunday -- his first since June 28. If he can get a little more consistent, a second-half call-up could very well be in the cards.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-4 victory over the Red Sox.

Chapman scored on a Raimel Tapia triple in the first inning, then again on a Danny Jansen groundout in the fifth. He also picked up two hits in the game, his fourth multi-hit performance in his last six games. Chapman has gone 11-for-24 during that stretch, raising his batting average from .226 to .237. The third baseman is batting .288 in July after batting .223 from April through June.

Toro went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Astros.

Toro entered the game when outfielder Jesse Winker (ankle) exited the contest following a collision on the field. Toro was part of the Mariners' two bursts of offense in the seventh and eighth innings, including a homer in his second plate appearance of the day. The 25-year-old infielder has seen limited playing time lately -- his last start was last Saturday. He owns an uninspiring .179/.242/.329 slash line with eight homers, 24 RBI, 29 runs scored and a stolen base in 76 contests. Even if Winker has to miss extra time, his absence will likely be covered by Adam Frazier and Dylan Moore.

Miranda went 3-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored and a hit-by-pitch in a 9-1 win Sunday in Detroit.

Miranda drove in a run after being beaned in the first, singled and scored in both the seventh and eighth innings and drove in a run with a single in the ninth. It was the rookie's third three-hit game of the season. After struggling in his first month in the big leagues, the 24-year-old has produced a .322/.370/.534 line with six homers in 127 plate appearances dating back to June 3. All three of his hits came against right-handed pitchers, albeit the last one coming off a position player, raising his average to .252 against righties.

Urias went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a double in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Yankees.

Urias has hit safely in 11 of his last 13 games, surging to a .413/.438/.739 slash line in that span. He provided some insurance Saturday with a two-run blast in the eighth inning to extend the Orioles' lead to three. The infielder has a career-high 10 homers with 34 RBI, 32 runs scored, 13 doubles and a .264/.308/.459 slash line in 238 plate appearances. His recent surge has earned him a near-everyday role since he returned from an oblique injury in early July.

Ramirez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale versus the White Sox.

Ramirez will get a breather Sunday after he went 3-for-12 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored over the first three games of the series. Ernie Clement will take over at the hot corner and bat seventh in the series finale.

Donaldson will sit Sunday versus the Orioles.

Donaldson will get a breather after he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Saturday's loss. DJ LeMahieu will start at third base while Joey Gallo enters the lineup in left field after some shuffling and will bat ninth in the series finale.

Candelario is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Candelario started the second half with three straight starts at third base, but he'll get a break Sunday. It looks like the 28-year-old will be given the chance to start most days at the hot corner moving forward, though he was losing playing time to Willi Castro before the All Star break. Candelario has struggled this season with a .586 OPS, so he'll need to get the bat going to hold onto a regular role.

Moncada went 2-for-8 with two doubles, a walk, three RBI and a run scored across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Moncada continues to heat up at the plate, as he's maintained a .323 average with a home run, five RBI and 10 runs scored across his last seven starts. He's still hitting only .212/.266/.339 across 203 plate appearances on the season but appears to be fully healthy and getting on track at the dish.
