Ramon Urias 3B | STL
Orioles' Ramon Urias: Placed on 10-day injured list
Urias was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right adductor strain Wednesday.
Urias was scratched from Tuesday's lineup but appeared off the bench and went 1-for-1. However, he'll require a trip to the injured list after he was diagnosed with a right adductor strain. Whether the 27-year-old is cleared to return during the final series of the regular season remains to be seen, but Jahmai Jones should see time at second base after he was called up Wednesday.

Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL
Twins' Josh Donaldson: On base four times Tuesday
Donaldson went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, two runs and two RBI in a 9-5 win over the Cubs on Tuesday.
Donaldson also hit a sacrifice fly in the contest as part of a productive night at the plate. The veteran upped his season slash line to .251/.351/.480 and now has 24 doubles and 67 RBI to go along with 24 long balls. Donaldson has reached base safely in four straight games, going 6-for-13 with a pair of homers, five RBI and three walks over that stretch.

Oswald Peraza 3B | LAA
Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Promoted to Triple-A
Peraza was promoted from Double-A Somerset to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.
Peraza is set for his second promotion this summer after the infielder previously moved up to Double-A in early June. He continued to impress offensively at Somerset, slashing .294/.348/.466 with 12 homers, 51 runs scored, 40 RBI and 20 stolen bases across 79 games. At just 21 years of age, the Yankees will likely want Peraza to get plenty of at-bats in at Triple-A before considering him for a major-league call-up, but all signs so far point toward him having a chance to become an everyday player at the big-league level.

Abraham Toro 1B | BOS
Mariners' Abraham Toro: Not starting Tuesday
Toro is not starting Tuesday against the Athletics.
Toro is hitless in his last 23 at-bats dating back to Sept. 14 and he's hitting just .172/.250/.234 altogether in September. He'll look to reset Tuesday as Dylan Moore takes over at second base.

Alex Bregman 3B | CHC
Astros' Alex Bregman: Not starting Tuesday
Bregman is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Angels, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Bregman started the past five games and will receive a day off after going 4-for-20 with four walks, four RBI and three runs. Aledmys Diaz will cover the hot corner in his place Tuesday.

Ramon Urias 3B | STL
Orioles' Ramon Urias: Late scratch
Urias (upper leg) was scratched from the lineup Tuesday versus the Phillies, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
The 27-year-old was expected to make his return from a three-game absence Tuesday, but it appears he'll need at least another day off. Pat Valaika will shift over to second base and Richie Martin will enter the lineup and play shortstop, batting seventh.

Ramon Urias 3B | STL
Orioles' Ramon Urias: Good to go Tuesday
Urias (upper leg) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies after missing the previous three games, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
The infielder has battled an upper leg injury for the majority of September, and the issue became severe enough to sideline him for the last three games. He appears to be feeling better Tuesday, however, as he'll return to second base and bat fifth.

Taylor Walls 3B | TB
Rays' Taylor Walls: Takes seat Tuesday
Walls is not starting Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
The infielder singled and scored while starting at shortstop in Monday's win, but he'll retreat back to the bench for Game 2 of the series. Joey Wendle draws the start at shortstop while Yandy Diaz mans the hot corner Tuesday.

Taylor Walls 3B | TB
Rays' Taylor Walls: Singles in return to action
Walls (illness) went 1-for-4 with a run during a win over the Blue Jays on Monday in his return from a one-game absence.
The rookie also struck out on all three occasions in which he made an out, underscoring how much of a work in progress he still is against big-league arms. Walls hasn't generated an extra-base hit in his last 19 games at the major-league level, either, but the reps he's logging against the highest caliber of pitching is likely to pay off down the line.
