De Leon is being promoted to Triple-A Norfolk, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

De Leon is now just one step away from making his major-league debut. The southpaw has compiled a 4.33 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with a 100:42 K:BB over 81 innings in 19 starts with Double-A Chesapeake this season.

Aloy is being promoted to Double-A Chesapeake, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Aloy will make the leap to the Double-A level after producing a .300 average with 15 home runs, 69 RBI, 57 runs scored and 12 stolen bases over 84 contests with High-A Frederick so far this season. The 22-year-old will now be tested against tougher competition.

Janek (hamstring) has slashed .368/.400/.737 with two home runs, three stolen bases, four RBI and four runs in five games for Double-A Corpus Christi since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list July 16.

Janek was on the shelf for about a month and a half due to the hamstring injury before being cleared to rejoin Corpus Christi coming out of the All-Star break. The 23-year-old backstop has produced a .183/.224/.323 slash line over 24 games at Double-A this season.

Carpenter aggravated a right heel injury before he was lifted after four innings during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. He went 0-for-2 at the plate prior to his departure.

Carpenter has been dealing with a bruised right heel for over a week, and he tweaked the injury Sunday before Ben Malgeri came on to replace him in the top of the fifth. Manager A.J. Hinch said after the game that the 28-year-old Carpenter is set for further evaluation in the near future. Carpenter can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.

Alonso got the Orioles on the board in the eighth inning with a 419-foot blast off Dylan Lee, his 22nd homer this season, cutting the deficit to 2-1. Alonso had gone nine games without a home run and seven without an RBI prior to Sunday. Overall, the first baseman is slashing .249/.346/.466 with 67 RBI, 65 runs scored and five steals through his first 462 plate appearances with Baltimore.

Hurter (spine) threw a bullpen session Friday, MLB.com reports.

Hurter is working his way back from lumbar spine inflammation, which has kept him on the shelf since May 24. He's eligible to come off the 60-day injured list at any time but will likely need to complete a rehab assignment prior to being reinstated.

Dingler went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Royals.

After getting a day off Saturday, Dingler picked up where he left off with another good performance Sunday. The catcher has now tallied 68 RBI across 97 games this season, and he's also sporting a strong .874 OPS to go along with 22 home runs. Dingler has been one of the best backstops in the majors from a fantasy perspective, and he's showing no signs of slowing down.

Baz did not factor into the decision Sunday against Atlanta, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out two.

Baz wasn't at his best Sunday, as he failed to make it through five innings while throwing 90 pitches, just 55 for strikes. However, the right-hander was able to limit the damage overall, limiting Atlanta to just one earned run. Baz has now gone seven straight starts without a win despite posting a respectable 3.83 ERA in that span (40 innings). Overall, his ERA sits at 3.98 with a 1.39 WHIP and 107:44 K:BB across 21 starts (122 innings) this season. Baz is currently slated to face the Phillies at home his next time out.

McGonigle went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Royals.

After an 0-for-4 effort Saturday, McGonigle bounced back with a good game Sunday to wrap up the weekend series. The 21-year-old infielder is now batting .270 with a .776 OPS this month as he continues to display tremendous consistency for a young player. Overall, McGonigle is sporting a .281/.387/.418 slash line across 102 games, and he's in a great position to earn AL Rookie of the Year honors.

Seager (back) said that he completed a "higher-volume" live batting practice session Sunday and will repeat the activity again Monday before likely heading out on a rehab assignment, Matthew Postins of SI.com reports.

Seager received the equivalent of about four at-bats against live pitching Friday, but he said that he wants to take live BP on consecutive days before moving on to the final step in his recovery from lower back inflammation, which sent him to the injured list July 1. Assuming all goes well Monday, Seager will report to one of the Rangers' affiliates for game action. The veteran shortstop may need just one game on the farm before being cleared to return from the IL, perhaps as soon as Friday's series opener in Houston.
