The Brewers placed Escobar on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained right hamstring.

Escobar will miss extended time after exiting Sunday's game against the Nationals with a right hamstring issue, now diagnosed as a strain. He's eligible to return at the start of September, although it's unclear whether the 32-year-old will be ready by then. Pablo Reyes was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to take Escobar's spot on the active roster.

Escobar (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Escobar exited Sunday's game with a right hamstring issue and should still be considered day-to-day until the Brewers provide an update on his condition. Luis Urias is starting at third base and batting sixth Tuesday.

McMahon is not starting Tuesday against the Cubs.

McMahon will take a seat against lefty Justin Steele after going 0-for-4 during Monday's loss. Taylor Motter is set to man the hot corner and bat seventh.

Toro went 3-for-4 with a run in a win over the Athletics on Monday night.

The 24-year-old extended his hitting streak to six games with his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 11. Toro has been a force at the plate throughout the month, with Monday's production bringing his August slash line to .304/.396/.392 over 91 plate appearances.

Chapman (foot) will bat sixth and play third base Tuesday against the Mariners.

Chapman was scratched from the lineup for Monday's contest with a bruised left foot, but the issue evidently wasn't a particularly serious one. He hit .429 with five homers over a recent nine-game stretch before going hitless in his last two games.

Hayes went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks and an RBI in Monday's 6-5 win over Arizona.

He reached base three times for the second time since July and stole his third base since June. The rookie also avoided ignominy when a Diamondbacks challenge that Hayes missed second base was denied. The third baseman is slashing .230/.296/.297 with a homer and two steals in August as his up-and-down season continues.

Bregman (quadriceps, hamstring) went 3-for-5 with a run scored for Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday.

Monday's game was the third of Bregman's second rehab assignment and the second straight in which he's played nine innings. He's seemingly ready to rejoin the Astros after going 6-for-13 with a home run, four RBI and three runs scored. He will likely be evalutated at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday.

Rivera went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 7-1 win over Houston.

The 25-year-old recorded his third multi-hit effort in his last seven games. In that span, Rivera has gone 10-for-26 (.385) with a home run, three RBI and five runs scored. The third baseman is up to five RBI and seven runs scored through 18 games, and he should be able to maintain a regular role now that he's in a groove at the plate.

Chapman has been scratched from Monday's lineup against the Mariners due to a left foot contusion, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Chapman recently underwent X-rays and was diagnosed with a bruised left foot. He'll be considered day-to-day until further notice. Josh Harrison will take Chapman's place at the hot corner as a result Monday evening.

Urshela (hamstring) will play in another rehab game Tuesday and could be activated Thursday against Oakland, Sweeny Murti of Sports Radio 66 WFAN reports.

A strained hamstring has kept Urshela out for the entirety of August. He looked healthy in a rehab game Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a double, and it doesn't look as though he'll need to do much more to convince the Yankees he's ready to return.
