Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Since returning Monday from a stint on the injured list due to an oblique strain, Urias went 3-for-8 with two walks, two RBI and two runs in the Orioles' first three games of the week. He looks on track to serve as the Orioles' primary third baseman moving forward, but he'll take a seat in favor of Jonathan Arauz in the series opener with the Angels.

Rivera went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Astros.

Rivera, who has supplied a home run in both of his past two starts, will crack the lineup again in Thursday's series finale in Houston, manning third base and batting fifth. The 26-year-old should continue to play regularly against left-handed pitching, but he'll likely lose out on a regular role against right-handers so long as Bobby Witt's hand injury doesn't force him to the 10-day injured list.

Donaldson went 2-for-5 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 16-0 victory over the Pirates.

Donaldson was all over the scoresheet in Wednesday's blowout win. He launched a solo homer in the sixth inning, then sent Aaron Hicks home on a sac fly in the eighth. The third baseman came around to score again in the ninth on a Kyle Higashioka single. Donaldson has four hits over his last four games, but he has also struck out five times during that span, something that has plagued him as he has more strikeouts than hits on the year. He has a .226 average on the season to go along with seven homers and 25 RBI.

LeMahieu went 3-for-6 with two RBI, two runs scored and a steal in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.

LeMahieu's two RBI came on a single in the first inning when he sent Joey Gallo and Isiah Kiner-Falefa home. LeMahieu came around to score in the eighth on an Aaron Judge homer, then again in the ninth thanks to an Aaron Hicks homer. He also added a steal, his fourth of the year. LeMahieu has two steals already this month after picking up just one in June. The infielder is batting .333 in July after Wednesday's three-hit outing. He has four hits in his last two games and is now slashing .267/.368/.406 on the season.

Urshela went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Wednesday against the White Sox.

Urshela took Matt Foster yard in the eighth inning to record his eighth homer of the season. He has four multi-hit games in his last nine starts, maintaining a .353 average with two home runs, five RBI and five runs scored in that span. Overall, Urshela has a .266/.314/.414 line across 287 plate appearances on the season.

Chapman went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's victory over the Athletics.

Chapman walked in the fifth inning before he later took James Kaprielian deep for a solo shot in the seventh frame. He also added a single in his final at-bat in the ninth. The homer was his 13th of the season and he has now gone deep in back-to-back games. Chapman came into Tuesday's contest in the midst of an 0-for-16 stretch from the plate, but he went 5-for-7 with two homers and three RBI in the final two games of the series to snap out of the cold spell.

Moncada exited Wednesday's game against the Twins due to a right foot contusion, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Moncada appeared to be walking gingerly after fouling a ball off his right foot in the fourth inning Wednesday and was ultimately replaced defensively in the top of the seventh. However, he underwent X-rays that came back negative, so he's considered day-to-day. If the 27-year-old misses additional time, Josh Harrison and Leury Garcia should see increased looks at the hot corner.

Moncada was removed in the top of the seventh inning of Wednesday's game against the Twins with an apparent foot injury, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. He went 1-for-3 with a base hit prior to his departure.

Moncada is believed to have suffered the injury during his fourth-inning plate appearance, when he looked to be in discomfort after fouling a ball off his foot. He initially stayed in the contest and came to the plate once more before departing three innings later, with Josh Harrison coming off the bench to replace him during a tie game. Expect the White Sox to provide another update on Moncada's condition after the game.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Devers won't start Wednesday against the Rays while tending to a "little bit" of right hamstring soreness and back tightness, Steve Hewitt of the Boston Herald reports.

When Devers sat out Tuesday's 8-4 loss, the prevailing thought was that he was receiving a routine maintenance day after starting each of Boston's previous 10 contests. However, Cora clarified Wednesday that the 25-year-old is banged up with multiple minor injuries, though none appear significant enough to result in a trip to the 10-day injured list. In fact, Cora indicated that Devers will be available off the bench if needed Wednesday, per Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe. Christian Arroyo will fill in at third base Wednesday in place of Devers, who could be ready to go for Thursday's series opener with the Yankees.

Paredes is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Red Sox, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Paredes will get a breather after he went 2-for-7 with an RBI and two walks in the first two games of the series. Ji-Man Choi will take over at first base and bat fourth against Boston.
