Garcia is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Garcia went 6-for-18 with a double, two RBI and a run while starting each of the Royals' past five games at shortstop, but he'll cede his spot in the lineup to fellow rookie Bobby Witt (hand), who is back in action Tuesday. Assuming Witt experiences no further setbacks with the hand and hamstring injuries that have caused him to miss time lately, Garcia could soon be headed back to the minors to play on a regular basis.

Nevin will remain on the bench for Tuesday's game against Texas, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Nevin appeared poised for regular at-bats after the Orioles traded away Trey Mancini on Monday, especially as he'd already been in the lineup for three of the final four games of last week. Instead, he's now been stuck on the bench for two straight games, with Ramon Urias again handling third base while Ryan Mountcastle starts at first.

The Astros activated Bregman from the paternity list Tuesday. He'll bat cleanup and play third base Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Bregman missed only one game while observing the birth of his child. He'll take a .242/.350/.423 slash line into the matchup with Boston.

Bregman was present at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday afternoon, according to Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle.

Bregman was placed on the paternity list Monday, but it appears he is ready to rejoin the team one day later. Bregman's status will be updated again if he is indeed activated by the Astros.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Yankees on Monday and has now hit safely in three straight games.

Suarez's .231 average continues to leave plenty to be desired, but he's carrying a respectable .745 OPS thanks in large part to a strong 11.9 percent walk rate and 36 extra-base hits overall. The veteran slugger is a good bit off his usual home-run pace, however, as he's averaging a round tripper every 27.3 plate appearances, as opposed to one every 18.5 trips to the batter's box in his final Reds season a year ago.

Urshela went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

In his first game back from paternity leave, Urshela celebrated the new addition to his family by taking Alex Lange deep in the 10th inning for his first career walkoff homer. The 30-year-old third baseman is slashing .268/.313/.431 on the season with 10 homers and 44 RBI through 87 games.

Miranda went 2-for-4 with a walk, three RBI and a run in Monday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

Miranda came up clutch again late in Monday's contest, plating two runs on an eighth-inning base hit to give him 42 RBI through 232 plate appearances on the season. Dating back to May 20, Miranda has been one of the top hitters in baseball, as he's produced a .339/.381/.570 slash line while striking out at an 18.8 percent clip over that 51-game stretch.

Devers (hamstring) is expected to return to action Tuesday against the Astros, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Devers landed on the injured list in late July, and it appears he will not miss more than the minimum 10 days he was required to sit out.

Bregman was placed on the paternity list Monday.

Bregman was scratched from Monday's lineup in order to be with his wife, and he wound up being excused from the team for the next 1-to-3 days. Taylor Jones was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land to take Bregman's place on the roster.

Nevin isn't in the lineup Monday against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Nevin should see additional playing time for the Orioles after Trey Mancini was dealt to the Astros on Monday, but Nevin will take a seat for Monday's series opener in Texas. Ryan Mountcastle is starting at first base while Terrin Vavra enters the lineup in left field.
