Urshela is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Angels.

Urshela looks like he'll continue to handle a near-everyday role while Jason Kipnis (hamstring) remains sidelined, but he'll take a seat following four consecutive starts. Jose Ramirez will move back over from the keystone to third base while Erik Gonzalez covers second.

Bregman (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

It was expected that manager A.J. Hinch would give the third baseman a day off after leaving Tuesday's contest with right hamstring tightness, and this will provide Bregman with more time to rest, especially with Thursday's scheduled off-day looming. In his place, Yulieski Gurriel draws the start at third for the series finale. Bregman should be considered day-to-day for Friday's game, but he will likely return to the lineup for the opener against Detroit.

Segura went 1-for-5 with a game-winning RBI infield single and two walks in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

The prolific leadoff man was the hero on the night when he snapped a 5-5 tie with his 13th-inning hit. Segura now sports a .311/.344/.422 line in July that includes eight extra-base hits (seven doubles, one home run) and nine RBI.

Devers could be headed back to Triple-A Pawtucket after the Red Sox acquired Eduardo Nunez from the Giants, Chad Jennings of the Boston Herald reports.

It would certainly be unusual for a team to call up its top prospect only to send him down a few days later, but president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski left open that possibility, saying Boston's decision-makers will "wait and handle that question" about who's sent down to make room for Nunez. Even if Devers remains in Boston, the Nunez arrival is expected to impact the rookie's playing time. Dombrowski said Nunez should get regular playing time, and we doubt that will come at the expense of either shortstop Xander Bogaerts or second baseman Dustin Pedroia. Devers had a quiet, but effective MLB debut Tuesday against the Mariners, going 0-for-4 with two walks and a run scored.

Devers went 0-for-4 with two walks, a run and a strikeout in his MLB debut Tuesday against the Mariners.

The rookie third baseman has shown the ability to take a walk in the minors, which will serve him well in the big leagues. He's just 20 years old, so fantasy owners should keep their expectations in check, but Devers has rightly created a lot of excitement with his performance in Double-A and Triple-A this season. Even though he's slated to start out in a platoon role, he merits speculative pickups across the fantasy universe.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Bregman (hamstring) is day-to-day, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman exited Tuesday's game early with right hamstring tightness but doesn't currently project to need a trip to the disabled list. It seems likely that the Astros will rest Bregman through their off day Thursday with the hopes of him returning to the lineup Friday against the Tigers.

Bregman exited Tuesday's game against the Phillies early with right hamstring tightness, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

A day after George Springer was forced to exit with quad discomfort, the Astros are now without the services of Bregman for the reminader of Tuesday's contest. The severity of the injury is not yet known, but that information should become available shortly. He'll be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Devers will make his first MLB start Tuesday against the Mariners, batting ninth and playing third base.

Devers sat out of Monday's contest since lefty James Paxton was throwing for the Mariners, but with a right-hander taking the hill for Seattle, the top prospect will finally be able to make his highly anticipated debut. Although he's hitting at the bottom of the order, he'll most likely move up if he shows he can hold his own against big-league pitching.

Moncada was moved up to second in the order Monday partly due to the good plate approach he's exhibited over his first four games, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Moncada's been getting deep into counts and laying off balls outside the strike zone for the most part, although that approach has not produced the desired results yet. He's just 2-for-18 with five strikeouts, including four whiffs in Monday's win over the Cubs, but manager Rick Renteria envisions the rookie batting anywhere from first to sixth.

Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI during Monday's win over Detroit.

Moustakas has now hit four homers through his past four outings and sports an active seven-game hitting streak. He's put it all together this season with a .277/.307/.568 slash line and is showing no signs of slowing down.
