Urias went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Monday's win over the Nationals.

Getting the start at second base and batting eighth, Urias got the Blue Jays on the board in the third inning when he drove a first-pitch sinker from Eddy Yean over the fence in center field. Urias has gone just 2-for-14 in seven games since the All-Star break in a depth role, but both hits have left the yard.

Seigler came off the bench in the fifth inning of Monday's 4-2 win over the Athletics and went 0-for-2. Curtis Mead (wrist) in the fifth inning of Monday's 4-2 win over the Athletics. The former went 0-for-2.

Seigler entered the contest as a replacement for the newly acquired Curtis Mead, who was making his team debut. After he was plunked on the wrist by a pitch in the top of the fourth inning, Mead stayed in the game for the bottom half of the frame before Seigler substituted in for him. Mead was diagnosed with a bruised wrist following his early exit, and while he appears to have avoided a serious injury, the Red Sox could still turn to Seigler to make a start at second base Tuesday.

Grissom went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 6-4 loss to Houston.

Grissom poked an RBI single into right field in the first inning before clobbering a solo homer to left-center field in the third frame. He added another single in the fifth inning, marking the infielder's fourth game with at least three hits this season. The 25-year-old has heated up with an .878 OPS in July, bringing his season slash line to .259/.325/.411 with seven homers, 43 RBI and 26 runs scored across 66 contests.

Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs, two RBI and two stolen bases in Monday's 9-5 win over the White Sox.

Chisholm's biggest contribution was a two-run double in the fourth inning that tied the score 3-3. The speedy infielder further beefed up his line with a pair of stolen bases to boost his total to 29 thefts on the campaign, third-most in the majors. That puts Chisholm one steal away from a third consecutive 30-SB season, and he has a legitimate chance of reaching the career-high 40 regular-season thefts he recorded in 2024.

McKinstry went 2-for-3 with a walk, a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 8-5 loss to the Orioles.

McKinstry is struggling overall with a .206 batting average and .594 OPS this season, though he's been better since the start of June. While the veteran utility player feels unlikely to match last year's career best totals of 12 home runs and 19 stolen bases, he is at least seeing regular playing time. McKinstry is known for moving around defensively, though he may focus primarily on right field in the short term with Wenceel Perez (orbital) and Kerry Carpenter (foot) both on the injured list.

Lee went 1-for-3 with two RBI during the Tigers' 8-5 loss to the Orioles on Monday.

Lee got the Tigers on the board with a sacrifice fly in the second inning before driving in another run on an infield single in the fourth. That single extended Lee's hitting streak to 12 games, which is currently the longest in the majors. In that span, he has gone 15-for-40 (.375) with two home runs, four doubles and 10 RBI.

Smith started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 7-3 win over Seattle.

Smith made a third consecutive start at third base, where he's filling in for the injured Josh Jung (calf). The steal was the third (caught once) over 42 games for Smith, who posted double-digit steals in each of the last two seasons. With both Jung and shortstop Corey Seager (back) on the 10-day injured list, Smith could see regular at-bats in the short term.

Sosa (wrist) will resume taking live batting practice this week, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Sosa had to be pulled off a rehab assignment in late June following a setback with his bruised right wrist, but he's been ramping things back up and could be ready to try rehab games again soon. The infielder has managed just a .195/.207/.283 batting line in 40 games this season between the White Sox and Blue Jays.

Torres is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

The Tigers have been careful not to overexert Torres since he rejoined the big club last Monday following a month-long stint on the injured list due to an oblique strain. He'll sit for the second time since being activated, and the Tigers have also deployed him at designated hitter in two of his first six starts following his return. Detroit will go with Riley Greene in the DH spot Monday, while Hao-Yu Lee steps in at second base.

Smith will start at third base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Mariners.

The Rangers appear to have settled on Smith as the primary replacement at third base for Josh Jung (calf), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. Smith will claim a third straight start at the position, despite going hitless in six at-bats over the previous two contests. The 28-year-old could find himself as the odd man out for an everyday role in the Texas infield once one of Jung or Corey Seager (back) returns from the IL, as Ezequiel Duran and Nicky Lopez both seem to be ahead of Smith on the depth chart.
