Robinson is not in the lineup Thursday against the Red Sox.

The 26-year-old has a modest four-game hit streak going right now, but he also has nine strikeouts combined in those contests. Robinson will head to the bench for a night off against southpaw David Price, allowing Renato Nunez to enter the starting nine in his stead.

Moncada (hamstring) is not in the lineup against the Twins on Thursday.

The second baseman was lifted from Wednesday's contest with left hamstring tightness after coming up lame during a slide into third base. Moncada will receive a day off to recover from the injury while Yolmer Sanchez starts at the keystone. Consider him day-to-day moving forward.

Segura went 2-for-5 with an RBI single in a loss to the Athletics on Wednesday.

Segura notched his 24th RBI of the season, one-third of which have come in the last four games alone. The 28-year-old couldn't come through in the ninth, however, as his groundout to third with the bases juiced ended the game. Despite coming up short, Segura is still hitting an eye-popping .471 over his 38 plate appearances with men in scoring position.

Ramirez (groin) will play third base and bat third in the order against Toronto in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Ramirez received a day off Wednesday in order to get some rest while dealing with mild right groin/hip soreness. Manager Terry Francona implied that Ramirez could've played during Wednesday's game against Texas, so expect the 25-year-old to be fully operational moving forward.

The Blue Jays activated Donaldson (shoulder) from the 10-day disabled list Thursday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Donaldson missed just over three weeks with right shoulder inflammation, but the Blue Jays are confident the star third baseman won't experience any further issues with his throwing after taking the time off to recover from the injury. The 32-year-old recently completed a two-game rehab assignment at High-A Dunedin, going 2-for-5 with a walk in those contests. Perhaps more importantly, Donaldson logged seven innings at the hot corner Tuesday and made crisp throws on each of three occasions he needed to retire a batter at first base. The Blue Jays haven't revealed their lineup for the first game of their doubleheader Thursday against the Indians, but it's generally expected that Donaldson will start at third base in at least one of the contests while heading to the bench or serving as the designated hitter for the other contest.

Valencia (hamstring) is starting at third base and hitting fifth Wednesday against the Angels, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.

Valencia is good to go after missing the last two games with hamstring tightness. The 33-year-old was starting to find his swing prior to picking up the minor ailment over the weekend, collecting five hits in his past three games, so he'll look to pick up right where he left off in his return to action.

Peterson is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.

Peterson has started every game since joining the Orioles at the end of April, but he's hitting just .136/.269/.227 over that stretch, so he'll head to the bench to clear his head while Engelb Vielma picks up a start at the keystone.

Donaldson (shoulder) will join the Blue Jays in Cleveland on Thursday and will likely be activated from the 10-day disabled list prior to Thursday's series opener against the Indians, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Donaldson played seven innings at third base in his second rehab game with High-A Dunedin on Tuesday and reported no issues, clearing the way for him to rejoin the big club after spending the past two and a half weeks on the shelf with shoulder inflammation. The 32-year-old, who was hitting .239/.352/.457 with three homers prior to landing on the DL, will immediately slot back into the heart of the Blue Jays' lineup once activated.

Moncada was removed from Wednesday's game due to left hamstring tightness.

It appeared as though Moncada sustained a knee injury after sliding awkwardly into third base, but the club revealed that he's only dealing with a minor hamstring issue and that he's day-to-day for the time being. Though he will likely be healthy enough to play during Thursday's series opener versus Minnesota, manager Rick Renteria may choose to give the 22-year-old a day off.

Moncada was taken out of Wednesday's game with an apparent knee injury after awkwardly sliding into third base.

Moncada suffered the injury during the eighth inning after going from first to third on a Yolmer Sanchez single. The White Sox stated that they will provide more information when it becomes available, so expect an update on his status in the coming hours.
