Urias will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

The 30-year-old will draw his sixth consecutive start and looks as though he'll be in store for a regular role in the infield while Jordan Westburg (hamstring) is on the shelf. Urias won't carry much fantasy appeal, however, as he boasts strong contact skills but lacks power or speed and often bats in the bottom half of the lineup.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

The switch-hitting Cabrera has been occupying the stronger side of a de facto platoon at third base with the right-handed-hitting Oswald Peraza, so the latter player will enter the lineup Wednesday while the Orioles send southpaw Cade Povich to the bump. Dating back to April 4, Cabrera is slashing .313/.389/.391 with one home run, 11 runs and eight RBI in 18 games, a level of production that could allow him to remain the Yankees' primary third baseman even once DJ LeMahieu (calf/hip) is cleared to return from the injured list.

Arenado is not in the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader in Cincinnati.

After going 0-for-5 in the first game of the twin bill, Arenado will receive some rest for the nightcap. Nolan Gorman is at third base and batting sixth in the second game for the Cardinals.

Bohm is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

It's the first day off since April 6 and just the second day off this season for Bohm. Edmundo Sosa will play third base and bat eighth for the Phillies on Wednesday.

Mastrobuoni is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

With southpaw Tyler Anderson taking the hill for the Angels, the left-handed-hitting Mastrobuoni will take a seat after he started at four different positions (second base, third base, left field and right field) in Seattle's previous four games. Though he doesn't have a regular home in the infield or outfield, Mastrobuoni could continue to see fairly steady playing time against right-handed pitching while Dylan Moore (hip) and Luke Raley (oblique) are on the injured list and while Jorge Polanco (side) is limited to the designated-hitter role.

The Reds placed Candelario on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a lumbar spine strain.

Candelario informed the Reds earlier this week that he was dealing with a lower-back issue, and the 31-year-old corner infielder was diagnosed with a strain after being sent in for further evaluation. Even before the injury surfaced, Candelario had played himself out of an everyday role, slashing just .113/.198/.213 over 91 plate appearances. Cincinnati recalled infielder Tyler Callihan to replace Candelario on the 26-man active roster.

Bregman went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and three runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

Bregman was one of five Red Sox players to leave the yard and did so in the first inning, sending the pitch 410 feet to left. The home run extended Bregman's hit streak to nine games, and he's recorded five multi-hit efforts over that span while getting on base at a .500 clip. Bregman leads the team in nearly every offensive category aside from on-base percentage and steals. He's hitting .331/.401/.570 with six homers, 23 RBI, 22 runs, one steal and a 12:25 BB:K in 137 plate appearances.

Paredes went 1-for-2 with a triple, two walks, an RBI and two runs scored Tuesday against the Tigers.

Paredes has at least one hit in seven of his last eight games, going 9-for-29 in that span. More impressively, he's managed four walks while striking out only twice in that same sample. Paredes tallied his first triple of the season Tuesday, raising his ISO to .159 across 125 plate appearances for the season.

Riley went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

With Tuesday's performance, Riley has now registered at least one hit in nine of his last 10 games. During that period, the star third baseman has three multi-RBI efforts and is batting .318 (14-for-44) with one home run, one double and eight RBI. Despite not providing much pop during the stretch, Riley entered Tuesday with an elite 52.6 percent hard-hit rate on the season.

Peraza went 2-for-5 with one run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 15-3 win over the Orioles.

Peraza entered Tuesday's game in the first inning for Jazz Chisholm (oblique). Peraza took advantage of the opportunity, smacking a two-run single in the fourth frame and finishing with his second multi-hit game of the season. With DJ LeMahieu (calf/hip) on the 10-day IL, Peraza would be a candidate to see his playing time increase significantly if Chisholm is sidelined for an extended period of time.
