Urias was removed from Tuesday's game against the Red Sox with an apparent right leg injury, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Urias went 3-for-3 and was a double short of the cycle when he suffered the injury while running to third base after his fifth-inning single. It's a tough break for the 28-year-old, who was in the midst of his second straight multi-hit game. He should be considered day-to-day until more information is available on the injury.

Suarez (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and will bat cleanup as the designated hitter Tuesday versus the Rangers.

The 31-year-old will end up missing only the 10-day minimum due to a small fracture in the tip of his right index finger. The injury remains bothersome when throwing the ball, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com, so Suarez could be limited to serving as the designated hitter for a bit.

Manager Aaron Boone said LeMahieu (toe) could be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

According to Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger, Boone said as recently as last week that LeMahieu likely won't be 100 percent healthy whenever he's eventually activated, but the 34-year-old has apparently made enough progress in his recovery from the sprained right second toe that the Yankees feel comfortable ushering him back in the fold. If LeMahieu isn't able to play Wednesday, he'll almost certainly be activated for New York's upcoming series against the Orioles this weekend. The veteran infielder owns a .262/.358/.381 slash line on the season.

Cubs manager David Ross said Tuesday that Madrigal (groin) won't return this season, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Injuries have been an issue for Madrigal in all three of his big-league seasons, and this year a couple different issues limited him to only 59 games. He will finish 2022 with just a .587 OPS, but he did hit an even .300 in August -- the month in which he recorded over a third of his at-bats. Madrigal should be back at 100 percent well in advance of spring training, and he figures to get a chance to compete for a starting job at second base.

Urias (neck) is starting at third base and hitting fifth Tuesday against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Urias missed a couple days with a back/neck issue. He is hitting .220 with two doubles in 20 games this month.

Hayes is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Reds, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

He missed time recently with a back issue. There has been nothing yet to suggest this absence is directly related, so perhaps the Pirates just want to give Hayes a day off here and there over the final nine days of the season. Rodolfo Castro slides over to third base while Ji-hwan Bae is starting at second base.

Candelario is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Royals.

Candelario has started four of the last seven games and is 7-for-14 with three doubles, one run and one RBI over that stretch. Harold Castro will start at the hot corner while Miguel Cabrera starts at designated hitter.

Newman went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored Monday against the Reds.

Newman reached base three times to extend his hitting streak to nine games. He's hit .314 with four RBI, three runs scored and three stolen bases in that span. Despite hitting well, Newman could lose some playing time across the final week of the season as the Pirates look to keep Rodolfo Castro and Ji-hwan Bae in the lineup.

Jung snapped an 0-for-19 skid with two hits in Sunday's loss to Cleveland, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

The Rangers are letting Jung get experience over the final month regardless of the results, which have been a mixed bag. "We're seeing Josh at this level. And it's given us information and we'll just see where that leads to, but he has to see the game with this level and see where he fits in," Texas interim manager Tony Beasley said. A hopeful sign is that seven of Jung's 12 hits have gone for extra bases, but an area to work on is a 28:2 K:BB. The organization's hitting coaches will address the decrease in walks and increase in strikeouts over the winter and into spring training, and the Rangers don't sound overly concerned by the slump in Jung's first exposure to major-league pitching.

Henderson went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, three walks and an additional run scored in a 14-8 win against the Red Sox on Monday.

Baltimore slugged four homers as a team between the sixth and seventh innings, and Henderson hit the longest among those with a 428-foot, two-run shot to center field. The talented rookie also drew three free passes, a high mark so far in his brief career. This may prove to be a big confidence-building performance for Henderson following his first significant major-league dry spell -- he had gone 0-for-13 with seven strikeouts over his previous four games.
