Toro was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a sprained left shoulder.

Toto presumably sustained the injury during Saturday's matchup with Boston, when he went 1-for-2 before exiting during the third inning. It's unclear exactly how long the 25-year-old is expected to be sidelined, but he'll be eligible to be activated June 1. Dylan Moore is likely to see more playing time while Toro is on the shelf.

Urshela is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Kansas City, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Urshela has a .170/.242/.340 slash line through 16 games in May and will head to the bench Sunday. Jose Miranda will start at the hot corner in his place.

Moncada (leg) went 0-for-1 in Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Moncada was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to a leg issue that first popped up Thursday. However, he entered the game as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and remained in the contest to man third base. While it's unclear if Moncada will be in the lineup Sunday, the appearance seemingly indicates that he will avoid a stint on the injured list.

Devers went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Mariners.

Both homers came off Chris Flexen, a solo shot in the first inning and a two-run blast in the fifth that helped chase the Seattle starter from the game. Devers continues to rake in May, slashing .392/.430/.770 through 18 games on the month with six of his nine home runs on the season, along with 14 runs and 15 RBI.

Rivera went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Twins.

Rivera has homered in back-to-back games, and all three of his long balls have come in his last seven contests. The third baseman is 8-for-25 (.320) in that span. For the season, he's up to a .255/.300/.574 slash line with nine RBI, nine runs scored, two triples and two doubles through 50 plate appearances.

LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk in Saturday's victory over the White Sox.

The 33-year-old launched a grand slam off Dallas Keuchel in the bottom of the second frame, capping off a five-run inning for the Yankees. LeMahieu now has three long balls on the season and the slam ended a 20-game homerless streak for him. After having four doubles over three games between May 10-May 12, he hadn't had an extra-base hit in six games prior to Saturday. LeMahieu has a .267/.349/.400 slash line over 135 at-bats in 2022, which is incredibly similar to his production from last season.

Urias isn't starting Saturday against the Rays.

Urias started in the last seven games and hit just .148 with a homer, a double, three runs and two RBI during that time. Tyler Nevin will start at the hot corner and bat seventh Saturday.

Toro went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Red Sox on Friday.

Toro uncorked a 429-foot shot to right field with Eugenio Suarez aboard in the fifth, slicing a four-run deficit in half at the time. The 25-year-old is now riding a modest four-game hitting streak, one that includes a pair of round trippers and three RBI overall.

Moncada was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Yankees due to a leg injury, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Moncada felt discomfort in his leg Thursday against the Royals but played through the issue in Friday's series opener against the Yankees. While he was a late scratch prior to Saturday's matchup, manager Tony La Russa said the 26-year-old will be available off the bench. Josh Harrison will shift to third base while Leury Garcia enters the lineup at the keystone.

Rivera went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Twins.

This was Rivera's third multi-hit game in his last six, a surge that's allowed him to see more regular playing time at third base. The 25-year-old's homer came in the ninth inning, though it wasn't enough to spark a comeback push for the Royals. For the season, he's slashing .256/.304/.535 with two long balls, eight RBI, eight runs scored, two triples and two doubles through 46 plate appearances. The absence's of Michael Taylor (illness), Salvador Perez (thumb) and Edward Olivares (quadriceps) should allow Rivera to carve out a semi-regular role in the short term.
