Urshela is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

After missing four games with a hand injury, Urshela was cleared to start the first two of the Yankees' four games versus Toronto to begin the week. He'll take a seat Wednesday after going 1-for-7 between the first two contests, allowing Rougned Odor to pick up a start at the hot corner. Urshela will likely return to the lineup for Thursday's series finale.

Longoria isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Longoria went 1-for-6 with five runs, an RBI and three walks across the last two games, and he'll get a breather Wednesday. Kris Bryant will start at third base while Mike Yastrzemski starts in right field.

Bregman isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Bregman has recorded hits in each of his last eight appearances, and he slashed .375/.412/.500 with a home run, a double, five RBI and three runs during that time. Marwin Gonzalez will take his place at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Moncada went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Athletics.

A day after seeing his 17-game hit streak snapped, Moncada began a new one. The two doubles give him 25 for the season, second on the team behind Jose Abreu and Tim Anderson (hamstring).

Ramirez went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks and stolen base in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Minnesota.

The third baseman has logged seven of his 21 stolen bases this year in his last 16 games. Ramirez, along with Myles Straw, were the only Cleveland batters to reach base multiple times in Tuesday's low-scoring contest. Through 126 games, Ramirez is slashing .261/.352/.546 with 32 home runs, 86 RBI and 91 runs scored as the brightest star in Cleveland's offense.

Bregman went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and three RBI in Tuesday's victory against the Mariners.

The 27-year-old doubled and drove in teammate Michael Brantley in the third inning and singled in the fifth inning before tying the game in the ninth with a two-run blast off Paul Sewald. Since returning from the injured list Aug. 25, Bregman has secured at least one hit in 10 out of 11 games while batting .357 and striking out only three times in 42 at-bats.

Muncy will sit Tuesday against St. Louis, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Muncy has been in a slump over his last 16 games, hitting .133/.212/.283 while striking out 30.3 percent of the time, well above the 18.2 percent strikeout rate he'd managed prior to that point. He'll rest against lefty J.A. Happ, with Albert Pujols starting at first base against his former team.

Sosa is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The shortstop will receive the day off after appearing in the last four games for the Cardinals. Paul DeJong gets the start at shortstop and is batting seventh.

Urias (upper leg) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Kansas City.

Urias left Sunday's game against the Yankees due to upper leg soreness, and the issue will force him out of the lineup for a second straight contest. Kelvin Gutierrez will start at the hot corner and bat ninth.

Walls was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

Walls had been back with the big-league squad since the start of September but went just 2-for-15 at the plate in five games, dropping his season slash line to .203/.301/.305 across 147 plate appearances. He'll head to the minors as the Rays recall reliever Louis Head.
