Senzel (knee) is set to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Senzel was initially supposed to start for Louisville on Sunday, but the game got rained out and the team had an off day Monday. The 27-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list since last Tuesday with right knee irritation and isn't eligible to be activated until Friday, so he'll likely make multiple starts in Triple-A.

Urshela (back) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rangers.

Urshela has been out of the lineup five times in the last seven games at least in part due to a back injury. He's considered day-to-day. Brandon Drury is at first base and Luis Rengifo is at second.

Donaldson is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Mets.

The Yankees are going with DJ LeMahieu at third base in the first game of the Subway Series. Donaldson has homered four times in eight contests since returning from the injured list.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-1 win over the Marlins on Monday.

Suarez launched a 420-foot shot to right center in the fifth to extend the Mariners' lead to 7-1 at the time, his first home run since May 28. The veteran slugger's .218 average and .648 OPS are underwhelming relative to his standards, but Suarez's everyday role at the hot corner doesn't appear to be in any jeopardy.

Rivera went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 9-8 win over the Phillies.

Rivera was a pivotal contributor in the Diamondbacks' comeback from a 5-1 deficit. He singled and scored in the third and fourth innings, including an RBI knock, then brought in another run with a sacrifice fly. Rivera continues to swing a hot bat, having hit safely in 13 of the last 15 games (22-for-55, .400) while mustering eight multi-hit efforts.

Longoria went 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 9-8 win over Philadelphia.

Longoria knocked in a run on a sacrifice fly in the first inning and then gave Arizona some cushion in the sixth with a three-run home run. It was the seventh home run in the last 19 games for the 37-year-old veteran, who's slugging like a rookie again. For the season, Longoria is slugging .538, which would rank 12th in MLB if he qualified. And therein lies the issue for Longoria -- playing time. He has just 116 plate appearances over the team's 66 games.

Urshela has been dealing with a back injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The injury explains why he's out of the lineup Monday against the Rangers for the fourth time in six games, although it could also be in part due to Anthony Rendon's recent return from the injured list. At this point, Urshela's injury seems like a day-to-day situation.

Urshela is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

On the bench for the fourth time in six games, Urshela looks to have moved into a utility role in the wake of Anthony Rendon's recent return from the 10-day injured list. Since Urshela has performed at just below a league-average level as a hitter (97 wRC+, .313 woBA) this season and is capable of playing all four infield spots, he should still be in line for a handful of starts per week.

Urias went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 11-3 win over the Royals.

Urias was 3-for-26 (.115) over his first 10 games back from the injured list, but he's gone 7-for-13 (.538) in his last three contests. The infielder has started to see his playing time slip despite his strong defense, though he did make an error Sunday. He's at a solid .272/.349/.404 slash line with two home runs, three stolen bases, 20 RBI and 17 runs scored through 43 games this season. He should continue to be an option all around the infield, while Jorge Mateo's slump at the plate could ultimately help Urias get in the lineup more often.

Henderson went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 11-3 win over the Royals.

Henderson has homered in three of his last four games and has multiple hits in three straight. The 21-year-old infielder has hit atop the order two games in a row, and his success in that spot suggests he could stay there while Cedric Mullins (groin) is on the mend. Henderson is up to a .236/.349/.455 slash line with nine homers, four stolen bases, 21 RBI and 34 runs scored through 57 contests.
