Urshela (hamstring) isn't starting Monday's game against the Orioles.

Urshela will be excluded from the lineup for a fourth straight game due to a hamstring issue. The 29-year-old is still considered day-to-day, and Rougned Odor will take his place at the hot corner and bat sixth.

LeMahieu (triceps) is starting Monday's game against the Orioles.

As expected LeMahieu will be back in the starting nine for Monday's series opener after a three-game absence due to a triceps strain. The 33-year-old will start at the keystone and lead off.

Rendon (hamstring) has not restarted baseball activities and remains without a timetable for a return, per MLB.com.

The third baseman is coming up on a month since he last saw game action, but he "hasn't made any noticeable strides in his recovery to the point where he could take the next step in his rehab." According to the Associated Press, Rendon has been putting in work in the training and weight rooms, though that doesn't give much indication about the status of his injured left hamstring. Jeff Fletcher of The Orange Country Register notes that in a conversation with Angels manager Joe Maddon, Rendon didn't seem optimistic about his recovery.

Segura went 2-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's win over Pittsburgh.

Segura was another top performer for Philadephia on Sunday, but the reality is that the second baseman has been seeing the ball extremely well over the last few weeks and has hit safely in all but one of his last 13 games, posting a .278/.355/.463 slash line with two homers, 10 RBI, four doubles, seven runs scored and a 6:6 BB:K in that span.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Orioles.

Candelario has played well recently, as he's riding a seven-game hitting streak and is batting .393 during that span. For the season, the infielder is batting .276. Candelario should remain locked in as one of Detroit's top offensive options, though he hasn't delivered great counting stats this year with just seven home runs and 36 RBI across 98 games.

Bregman (quadriceps) was removed from Sunday's rehab game at Triple-A Sugar Land due to right hamstring tightness, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman was appearing in his fifth rehab game, and the Astros called his removal from the contest precautionary. Prior to his departure, he went 0-for-1 with a strikeout. The 27-year-old has now gone 0-for-13 with a run, three walks and a strikeout to begin his rehab assignment, but it's not yet clear whether his hamstring issue will slow his recovery.

Sosa went 3-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 7-3 win over Minnesota.

Sosa knocked two singles, including an RBI base hit in the sixth inning, and an eighth-inning solo shot in Sunday's victory. It was the third homer of the season for the 25-year-old infielder and his first since July 6, which was also the last time he registered a multi-hit game. Sosa owns a .681 OPS with eight extra-base hits through 184 plate appearances.

McMahon is not in the lineup Sunday at San Diego, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

McMahon went 3-for-3 with a grand slam Friday but is otherwise 0-for-8 with five strikeouts in the series, and he'll take a seat for the finale versus the Friars. Rio Ruiz will start at the hot corner in his place.

The Giants optioned Vosler to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

Vosler was dropped from the 26-man roster to make room for the newly acquired Kris Bryant, who was activated ahead of his team debut Sunday against the Astros. During his latest stint with the big club, Vosler appeared in nine games and went 1-for-14 with a base hit and seven strikeouts.

Muncy is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Muncy will take a maintenance day in the series finale after going 3-for-8 with a double, two walks, an RBI, two runs and a steal through the first two games in Arizona. Albert Pujols will start at first base in his absence.
