LeMahieu drilled a two-run double and stole third in the seventh inning. It was his third stolen base of the year and first since May 9.

Urias went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 12-1 loss to the White Sox.

The 27-year-old was a bright spot in a dismal loss for the Orioles, recording two of their seven hits and accounting for their only run of the night. Urias has been on a tear of late, hitting .366 with three home runs, eight RBI and just six strikeouts in his last 11 games. On the season, he now boasts a .287/.362/.468 slash line in 105 plate appearances.

Devers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a pair of walks in Friday's 11-5 win over Philadelphia.

The 24-year-old has added 72 RBI, 59 runs scored, three stolen bases and a .287/.356/.576 slash line through 360 plate appearances.

Burger is not in the starting lineup Friday against Baltimore.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a double and RBI on Wednesday against the Twins. He'll take a seat Friday as Gavin Sheets handles the DH duties.

Donaldson (hamstring) is starting Thursday's game against the Tigers.

Donaldson had missed the last four games due to right hamstring soreness, but he ran the bases as part of a full workout ahead of Thursday's matchup, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. He apparently checked out fine after his workout and will start at third base and bat second in his return to the lineup.

Chapman (illness) is starting Thursday's game against the Astros.

Chapman missed Wednesday's game while battling a stomach flu, but he'll start at third base and bat fifth in Thursday's series finale. The 28-year-old has gone 5-for-14 with a run and three strikeouts across his last three appearances.

Chapman is resting Wednesday due to a stomach flu, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Manager Bob Melvin said Chapman, who is dealing with dehydration, was briefly at the hospital before being released. Further updates should hint at whether the 28-year-old will return to the hot corner for Thursday's series finale in Houston.

Bregman (quadriceps) will hit on the field ahead of Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman began light running at the beginning of July, and he'll take another significant step in his recovery by hitting Wednesday. While the 27-year-old has indicated that he's way ahead of schedule in his recovery timetable, he won't return until sometime after the All-Star break.

Chapman isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Chapman had recorded hits in each of the last three contests, and he went 5-for-14 with a run and three strikeouts during that time. He'll get a rare day off while Chad Pinder starts at the hot corner and bats ninth.

Rivera (wrist) participated in fielding drills ahead of Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Rivera still had a cast on his left wrist during Wednesday's drills, but he was still able to do some light throwing during pregame warmups. It's still not yet clear when he could return to game action as he continues to recover from a left hamate fracture that has kept him sidelined since June 30, but it's encouraging that he's still able to participate in activities while he's in a cast.
