Urias went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Rangers.

Urias was plunked by Spencer Howard in the third inning. The 28-year-old infielder followed that up by stealing second and scoring on Jorge Mateo's three-run home run. After a July surge at the plate, it appears Urias is returning to Earth -- he's gone 1-for-23 with three walks over his last seven games. He has a .248/.298/.429 slash line with 11 home runs, 36 RBI, 34 runs scored and a steal in 73 contests.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional RBI in a 2-1 win against Houston on Tuesday.

Returning from a 10-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Devers was responsible for both of Boston's runs with an RBI double in the fourth inning and what proved to be the game-winning solo home run in sixth. The 25-year-old slashed .300/.327/.660 across 13 July games and was able to carry over that performance to his first August contest. Through 88 games this season, Devers is slashing .326/.380/.612 with 23 home runs, 63 runs and 57 RBI.

Devers (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

The 25-year-old has been sidelined by the hamstring injury since July 23, and he'll rejoin the active roster Tuesday after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf. Devers hit .300/.327/.660 with five home runs and 10 RBI in 13 games during July before going down with the injury. The Red Sox have yet to release their official lineup for Tuesday's matchup with Houston, but he'll presumably be in the starting nine.

Burger (hand) was activated from the injured list and optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Burger owns a .760 OPS at the big-league level this season, but with the White Sox almost fully healthy, he will head to the minors for the time being. Expect him to rejoin the big club before the campaign comes to a close.

Toro will start at second base and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

With Julio Rodriguez (wrist) and Dylan Moore (back) recently heading to the injured list, Adam Frazier has been picking up more work in the outfield of late. Frazier's presence in the outfield has opened up the keystone for Toro, who will occupy the position for the third game in a row. Toro, who went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 7-2 loss, will likely be in danger of moving into a reserve role as soon as the Mariners get one of Rodriguez, Moore, Mitch Haniger (ankle) or Ty France (wrist) back in the lineup.

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.
