Rendon (hamstring) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday and will undergo season-ending surgery to address a right hip impingement, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon had been on the injured list since July 4 due to a left hamstring strain, and he suffered a setback in mid-July. He continued to make slow progress recently, and he'll now be shut down for the remainder of the year due to a hip issue. The 31-year-old slashed .240/.329/.382 with six home runs, 34 RBI and 24 runs across 58 games during his second season with the Angels. Jack Mayfield and Phil Gosselin will continue to handle the duties at the hot corner in Rendon's stead.

Triple-A Charlotte placed Burger on its 7-day injured list Wednesday due to a bone bruise on his right hand, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Burger posted a strong .807 OPS over a 15-game stint with the White Sox in July before being optioned to Triple-A when the big club didn't have regular playing time available for him following Eloy Jimenez's return from the 60-day injured list. Upon returning to Charlotte, the 25-year-old third baseman played in just four games before going down with the injury. The White Sox haven't provided a timeline for Burger, but given the nature of his injury, he should have a good chance to return to action for Charlotte before the end of the minor-league season.

Rivera (wrist) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Rivera made five total rehab appearances, but he only required one game at Triple-A Omaha before he was cleared to return. During his rehab stint, he went 6-for-20 with a home run, three RBI, two runs, a stolen base and two walks. The 25-year-old will start at third base and bat sixth Wednesday against the White Sox, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Donaldson (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Donaldson's tight right hamstring will keep him on the bench for the fifth game in a row, but the Twins continue to hold out hope that he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. Luis Arraez will cover third base in Donaldson's stead.

Toro went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Rays.

The 24-year-old is looking like a shrewd pickup for the M's so far, despite the flak the front office received when it flipped Kendall Graveman at the trade deadline. In seven games for Seattle, Toro is slashing .440/.500/.920 with three of his nine homers on the season.

Manager Dusty Baker said that Bregman (quadriceps/hamstring) is slated to play the full game at Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday after being a late scratch from Monday's lineup, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman was removed from Sunday's rehab game after experiencing right hamstring tightness, and the issue later forced the infielder to be scratched Monday. The 27-year-old is set to give it a go Tuesday, and assuming all goes well, he'll likely avoid a significant delay in his return to the big-league roster, which could come within the next week.

Donaldson (hamstring) is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Reds, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

He tested his hamstring on the field for a few minutes and felt the minor tightness that has plagued him for the last several days, so he will miss a fourth straight game. Luis Arraez will start at the hot corner and bat fifth.

Paredes (hip) will be shutdown for five days due to a setback in his rehab, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

The infielder had appeared in three rehab games for Triple-A Toledo, going 1-for-7 with a double and two walks. It's unclear how significant the setback is, but the Tigers will certainly be cautious with the 22-year-old as he recovers from a right hip strain. More details about Paredes' condition and a timeframe for his return should become clear once he resumes his rehab assignment.

Rivera (wrist) will shift his rehab assignment from Double-A Northwest Arkansas to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Rivera played four games at Double-A, going 4-for-15 with a pair of walks. He'll likely start in multiple contests at Triple-A before the Royals presumably reevaluate him for a return from the 10-day injured list ahead of their weekend series in St. Louis. Once activated, Rivera will likely be limited to a backup role in the Kansas City infield, but he could also be optioned back to Omaha.

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.
