Urias is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

Though he still looks to be the Orioles' preferred option at third base while Jordan Westburg (hamstring) remains on the shelf, Urias will give way to Emmanuel Rivera at the hot corner Wednesday after starting in the first two games of the series in Milwaukee. Since being activated from the 10-day injured list a week ago, Urias has gone 3-for-17 with a double, three walks, four runs and three RBI in five games.

Barger went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

Starting at third base and batting seventh, Barger swiped his first bag of the year and only his third in 95 career big-league contests. The 25-year-old has never recorded more than nine steals in a season, even in the minors, but he's provided plenty of value of late with his bat. Over the last 12 games, Barger is slashing .317/.364/.561 with four doubles, two homers, six runs and seven RBI.

Caminero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Astros.

Caminero appears to be getting a routine day off after going just 1-for-16 at the plate across his last four games. Curtis Mead will replace Caminero at third base and will bat eighth in the series finale.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Tigers.

Arenado got the Cardinals on the board in the fifth with a two-run shot to left field. It was his first extra-base hit since he last homered May 11 and he now has multi-hit efforts in two of his last three games. He's still hitting just .152 over his last eight games and may continue to hit in the bottom half of the lineup for the time being after suggesting the move to manager Oli Marmol before Monday's game.

Paredes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Tuesday against the Rays.

Paredes continued his power binge Tuesday, slugging his fourth home run in his last eight starts. He now has eight home runs on the season with a .184 ISO. Paredes also has a 14.1 percent walk rate and an impressive .824 OPS across 205 plate appearances.

Moncada went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.

Moncada provided a quick response to the Athletics' three-run fourth inning, countering with a three-run shot in the fifth to tie the game at 4-4. The third baseman has hit fairly well since returning from a sprained right thumb May 6, going 12-for-49 (.245) with four homers and 13 RBI over his last 13 games. He's at a .229/.349/.486 slash line through 83 plate appearances on the year.

Lugo isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.

Prior to Tuesday, Lugo had started in five consecutive games. In that stretch, he went 6-for-19 with a home run and two RBI. However, he struck out eight times and did not manage a walk in that span. While the rookie has been hitting the ball well, he will get some rest Tuesday with Kyren Paris starting in center field.

Chapman isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Chapman will get a breather Tuesday after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Monday's series opener. He'll be replaced at third base by Casey Schmitt, who will bat seventh against Royals starter Michael Lorenzen.

Suarez isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Tuesday will mark Suarez's second absence from the starting lineup this season. The third baseman was still able to log a plate appearance during his first breather April 20 versus the Cubs. With the 33-year-old on the bench Tuesday, Jordan Lawlar is starting at the hot corner and batting ninth.

McMahon is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

The Phillies are sending tough left-hander Jesus Luzardo to the bump, so the left-handed-hitting McMahon will receive a rare day off. Aaron Schunk is at third base and hitting ninth for the Rockies.
