Urias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 7-1 win over the Yankees.

Urias hit Baltimore's fourth and final homer off Yankees starter Andrew Heaney. The 27-year-old infielder has hit safely in five of his last six games, going 7-for-20 (.350) with a homer and two doubles in that span. He's seen regular playing time at shortstop thanks to a solid .284/.358/.426 slash line through 173 plate appearances this year. With Richie Martin (wrist) activated from the 60-day injured list Monday, Urias will need to continue hitting well to avoid losing playing time.

Urshela (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.

Urshela has missed four straight contests due to a hamstring injury. Manager Aaron Boone noted that Urshela is doing well in his recovery and that the team will likely backdate his move to the IL. The Yankees have yet to announce a corresponding move.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-2 extra-inning win over Toronto.

The third baseman extended Cleveland's lead to three runs with his extra-inning blast. Ramirez has homered four times in his last eight games, giving him 23 on the year. He's put up a solid but unremarkable .255/.344/.525 slash line with 64 RBI, 68 runs scored and 11 stolen bases through 392 plate appearances. Ramirez has also played in six straight contests -- he's battled elbow soreness recently but it appears it's not limiting him as much as it did a couple of weeks ago.

Lewis (knee) resumed throwing and fielding last week at the Twins' spring training facility in Fort Myers, Fla., Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The Twins likely aren't counting on Lewis to play at any point before the 2021 minor-league season comes to an end, but his ability to resume baseball activities five months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee indicates he's making excellent progress in his recovery. Lewis is expected to resume jogging in the coming weeks, and he should gradually increase the intensity of his running program throughout the summer and fall. The 22-year-old looks well on his way to entering 2022 spring training without any restrictions.

Toro went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

Donning a Mariners uniform has undeniably agreed with Toro, who now boasts a .500 average (9-for-18) with three doubles, two home runs, four RBI, one walk, one stolen base and five runs over his first five games with Seattle. The 24-year-old was already making a strong case to keep primary duties at the keystone with those numbers, but that has been further cemented by Shed Long's (lower leg) placement on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Bregman (quadriceps/hamstring) was scratched from Monday's lineup at Triple-A Sugar Land, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman exited Sunday's rehab game due to right hamstring tightness, and he'll be out of the lineup for at least one game while he recovers. The 27-year-old had appeared in five rehab games prior to Sunday's injury, so he's approaching his return to the major-league roster as long as his recent injury doesn't present a major setback in his recovery process. According to Jake Kaplan of The Athletic, Bregman is scheduled to run Monday, and after that the next step in his rehab program will be determined.

Urshela (hamstring) isn't starting Monday's game against the Orioles.

Urshela will be excluded from the lineup for a fourth straight game due to a hamstring issue. The 29-year-old is still considered day-to-day, and Rougned Odor will take his place at the hot corner and bat sixth.

LeMahieu (triceps) is starting Monday's game against the Orioles.

As expected LeMahieu will be back in the starting nine for Monday's series opener after a three-game absence due to a triceps strain. The 33-year-old will start at the keystone and lead off.

Rendon (hamstring) has not restarted baseball activities and remains without a timetable for a return, per MLB.com.

The third baseman is coming up on a month since he last saw game action, but he "hasn't made any noticeable strides in his recovery to the point where he could take the next step in his rehab." According to the Associated Press, Rendon has been putting in work in the training and weight rooms, though that doesn't give much indication about the status of his injured left hamstring. Jeff Fletcher of The Orange Country Register notes that in a conversation with Angels manager Joe Maddon, Rendon didn't seem optimistic about his recovery.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Orioles.

Candelario has played well recently, as he's riding a seven-game hitting streak and is batting .393 during that span. For the season, the infielder is batting .276. Candelario should remain locked in as one of Detroit's top offensive options, though he hasn't delivered great counting stats this year with just seven home runs and 36 RBI across 98 games.
