Davis (hand) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

This was mainly a procedural move to clear a spot on the 40-man roster as the 28-year-old has been on the shelf since the start of May, so he'll be eligible to be activated July 1. Davis resumed swinging a bat last week and remains without a clear timeline for his return.

Senzel (knee) isn't expected to return until late July, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Senzel has been out with a knee injury since mid-May and eventually underwent surgery. Previous reports indicated he was targeting a mid-July return, but he's now slightly behind that timetable.

McMahon is back in the starting lineup Friday against the Brewers.

Per Thomas Harding of MLB.com, McMahon did not play in the series against Seattle because of right forearm soreness. The issue appears to have subsided, as McMahon will bat fifth and play third base in Friday's series opener in Milwaukee.

Maton was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

The 24-year-old was sent down Wednesday, but he'll be able to quickly rejoin the Phillies with reliever Sam Coonrod (forearm) landing on the injured list. Maton will provide infield depth and appeared in only one game during his previous weeklong stint in the majors.

Hayes went 2-for-4 with a pair of runs scored in Thursday's 8-2 win over St. Louis.

He's posted consecutive multi-hit efforts for the first time since early June. Although Hayes saw his batting average fall to a season-low .258 by Tuesday, the third baseman still featured a respectable .347 on-base percentage. He holds a 7:2 BB:K over his last eight games as he looks to take advantage of hitting between the hot-hitting Adam Frazier and Bryan Reynolds.

Donaldson (calf) is starting at third base and batting second Thursday versus Cleveland, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

The veteran third baseman sat out the last five games while managing a calf issue, but he'll return to the lineup coming off Wednesday's scheduled off day. Donaldson is 2-for-16 with seven strikeouts over his past seven games and will attempt to get back on track now that he's feeling better.

Senzel (knee) played catch Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The 25-year-old isn't expected to return to major-league games until after the All-Star break since he continues to recover from left knee surgery, but it was encouraging to see him participate in some baseball activity Thursday. Jonathan India should continue to serve as the primary second baseman while Senzel is sidelined.

The Rays placed Walls on the 10-day injured list Thursday with right wrist tendinitis, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Walls was scratched prior to Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Red Sox with the wrist issue, which was believed to be only a minor concern before he surprisingly landed on the IL a day later. His move off the active roster at least temporarily clears up the logjam in the Rays infield that was created when top prospect Wander Franco was promoted to the big leagues earlier this week. While Walls is on the shelf, Franco should see most of the starts at shortstop, freeing up second base and third base for Brandon Lowe and Joey Wendle, respectively.

Urshela (shin) will remain on the bench for Thursday's game against the Royals.

Urshela was struck in the shin by a pitch Tuesday and did not appear in Wednesday's contest. He'll sit for at least one more day, with DJ LeMahieu again sliding over to the hot corner and Rougned Odor starting at second base.

Toro went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in a 13-0 victory versus Baltimore on Wednesday.

When Toro came up to the plate in the seventh inning, Houston was already ahead by eight runs. He padded that lead with a 417-foot three-run homer, then capped the scoring on the night with an RBI single in the eighth. Toro has hit safely in all but one game since being recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on June 17, going 10-for-24 with two homers and nine RBI over that span.
