Donaldson (shoulder) could be activated from the injured list when first eligible later this week, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Donaldson recently had a cortisone injection that appears to have done its job, as the third baseman is "really encouraged with where his shoulder is at," according to manager Aaron Boone. Donaldson is still awaiting the result of his appeal of a one-game suspension, but he'll be eligible to return from the IL on Thursday, per Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News.

The Mariners reinstated Toro (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Toro isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Baltimore, but he should be primed to take on a regular role at either third base or designated hitter beginning Thursday after Seattle placed another everyday player in Kyle Lewis (concussion) on the 7-day injured list. Toro produced a .603 OPS in 135 plate appearances before he landed on the IL on May 22 with a sprained left shoulder, but he was reinstated on the first day he was eligible to return from the shelf.

Moncada (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Toronto.

The White Sox have thus far resisted placing Moncada on the 10-day injured list, but he'll be on the bench for a fifth consecutive game due to his sore quad. Jake Burger will pick up another start at third base Wednesday while the White Sox continue to evaluate Moncada on a game-by-game basis.

Ramirez went 1-for-2 with three walks, two runs and a stolen base during Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Royals.

The 29-year-old was intentionally walked twice and was retired only once in five plate appearances. Ramirez slumped briefly in early May but came alive during the second half of the month, going 15-for-47 (.319 average) with six home runs, 19 RBI, 11 runs and four stolen bases in his last 13 games.

Toro (shoulder) reported to High-A Everett for a rehab assignment Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The 25-year-old landed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left shoulder May 22, and Wednesday is the first day he's eligible to be activated. Toro could be back on the active roster before the end of the current series in Baltimore, which finishes up Thursday.

LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Tuesday's victory over the Angels.

LeMahieu ripped an RBI double in the bottom of the second inning off Noah Syndergaard before later adding another RBI, a single and a walk. The second baseman has now secured a hit in all three games since returning from a wrist injury, going 4-for-12 with two doubles and two RBI over those contests. LeMahieu is now batting .256 over 156 at-bats this season, though that figure represents his lowest mark since his debut season with the Cubs in 2011.

Urshela is out of the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.

Urshela will receive a breather for Game 2 after he played all nine innings while going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the Twins' 8-2 win in the early game. Jose Miranda replaces Urshela at the hot corner, batting sixth.

Moncada (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Though he was able to make a cameo as a pinch hitter in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cubs and had the benefit of a team off day Monday, Moncada's sore quad will keep him on the bench for a fourth consecutive contest. Jake Burger will pick up the start at third base in Moncada's stead and will bat out of the cleanup spot.

Paredes went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored Monday against the Rangers.

Paredes was in the lineup for the first time in three games and continued to showcase his ability to hit for power. Across his last six starts, Paredes has three home runs and two doubles while driving in six and scoring five runs. Though he hasn't been able to find a regular starting role in the absence of Brandon Lowe (back), it's possible that Paredes begins to pick up additional playing time over either Taylor Walls or Vidal Brujan -- both of whom have struggled at the plate of late.

Urias went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Monday's 10-0 win over the Red Sox.

Urias' lone hit of the game was a third-inning two-run blast off Red Sox starter Rich Hill. In the fifth, Urias picked up another RBI on a groundout. The 27-year-old infielder has gone 13-for-40 (.325) in his last 10 contests. He's posted a .230/.279/.362 slash line with four homers, 15 RBI, 18 runs scored and eight doubles through 42 games.
