Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Urias is still rehabbing his strained left oblique but could be ready to resume hitting within the next few days, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Hyde didn't indicate that Urias suffered a setback or was plateauing in his recovery, but the 27-year-old looks as though he's progressing at a slower pace than the Orioles anticipated when he was placed on the 10-day injured list June 11. Even if Urias is able to take part in batting practice by the end of the week, he'll still need to prove he can run the bases and play the infield without discomfort before the Orioles send him out on a rehab assignment.

Burger will sit Tuesday against Toronto.

Burger should find himself in the lineup on a regular basis until Yoan Moncada returns from a hamstring injury, but he won't play every day. Danny Mendick will be the third baseman Tuesday, while Andrew Vaughn serves as the designated hitter.

Ramirez (thumb) will start at third base and bat third in Tuesday's game in Minnesota.

According to Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ramirez wasn't on the field for the Guardians' early batting practice session, but the veteran must have put in enough work behind the scenes for the coaching and training staffs to clear him to rejoin the lineup. Ramirez's return from a two-game absence due to a sore right thumb is a major boon for a Guardians squad that enters Tuesday's series opener trailing the Twins by just one game in the American League Central standings.

Rendon underwent successful surgery on his right wrist Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon is on the 60-day IL and is out for the season due to the surgery. He's expected to be ready to return by spring training next year. The 32-year-old hasn't played more than 58 games in a season since 2019.

Miranda is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

Miranda has posted an .884 OPS in June and seems to be hitting his stride after a rough start to his big-league career, but he may have to settle for a part-time role following the recent call-up of Alex Kirilloff from Triple-A St. Paul. The rookie will take a seat against a right-handed starting pitcher (Aaron Civale) for the second time in three games while Kirilloff starts at first base and Gary Sanchez serves as the Twins' designated hitter.

Moncada was placed on the 10-day inured list with a strained right hamstring Monday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The move was made retroactive to Saturday, so Moncada will be eligible to return next Tuesday, but it's not yet clear if he'll have the chance to do so. This is Moncada's second trip to the injured list, as he'd previously missed over a month with an oblique issue. Jake Burger should be the primary third baseman in his absence.

Moncada (hamstring) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Moncada has been diagnosed with a mild hamstring strain and will be unavailable for a third consecutive game. While he's tentatively considered day-to-day, the White Sox are still evaluating whether he'll require a trip to the injured list. If the 27-year-old lands on the IL, Jake Burger, Josh Harrison and Danny Mendick will see additional playing time at third base.

Rivera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Rivera will sit out for the second time in four games and looks to be moving into more of a part-time role while manager Mike Matheny has given Nicky Lopez more opportunities at third base of late. The downturn in playing time comes while Rivera has slashed .163/.212/.224 through his first 15 games of June.

Walls will be on the bench Monday against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls hits the bench after starting 13 games at shortstop. He struggled to a .451 OPS over that stretch, though that wasn't much worse than the .490 OPS he'd managed up to that point. Vidal Brujan will be the shortstop Monday.

Donaldson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to Toronto.

The Yankees hit five homers in the contest, though Donaldson's two-run, third-inning shot was the only one that wasn't of the solo variety. The blast snapped Donaldson's 17-game stretch without a long ball and was his sixth overall this season. The veteran hit 26 home runs with Minnesota last season but is well below that pace through 49 contests with New York in 2022.
