Urias went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Astros on Saturday.

Urias gave the Mariners a bit of breathing room with a 420-foot shot to center in the fifth, extending Seattle's lead to 3-0 at the time. The offseason addition has now matched the three-homer total he mustered across 52 games in 2023 while logging time with the Brewers and Red Sox, but he's still carrying a worrisome .154 average and .267 on-base percentage. However, the lopsided slash line also includes a career-best .462 slugging percentage, as all six of Urias' hits this season have gone for extra bases (three doubles, three homers).

Adrianza is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Adrianza had started each of the past three games at third base while going 1-for-11 with a solo home run. Even with Miguel Sano (knee) on the injured list and with Luis Rengifo (illness) out of the lineup for the second game in a row, Adrianza will cede the hot corner to Cole Tucker in the series finale.

Ramos entered Saturday's game against the Cardinals in the ninth inning as a defensive replacement at third base.

Ramos was promoted to the majors in the wake of Danny Mendick (back) being sidelined Saturday. Ramos didn't start but did enter the game as a replacement to make his big-league debut. After the game, manager Pedro Grifol confirmed that Ramos will have the chance to play regularly, per MLB.com.

Kessinger (shoulder) has resumed baseball activity, MLB.com reports.

Kessinger was on the field Saturday before Houston's game, marking his first activity since hitting the injured list April 30. Despite the progress, he's not expected back on the field until late May.

Toro went 2-for-5 with a two-run single and three runs in a win over the Marlins on Saturday.

Toro extended Oakland's lead to 9-0 in the third inning with his timely single, pushing his RBI total to 13 to draw him into a tie with JJ Bleday for third place on the Athletics. The 27-year-old has been a steady offensive presence for the surprising A's, and he's now posted four consecutive two-hit tallies as part of an eight-game hitting streak overall.

Davis went 2-for-4 with a run in a win over the Marlins on Saturday.

Davis returned from a stint on the injured list in the series opener Friday and went 0-for-3, but he authored one of seven multi-hit efforts for the Athletics in Saturday's 20-4 win. The veteran hadn't recorded more than one knock in a game since April 3, and Saturday's production snapped an 0-for-13 skid.

Harris went 2-for-5 with the first two hits and home runs of his major-league career in Saturday's 20-4 win over the Marlins.

Harris went hitless in his major-league debut Friday, but on Saturday he played a big part in the rout of the Marlins. The rookie took Darren McCaughan deep both times, hitting a solo shot in the fourth inning before following with a two-run blast in the sixth. Harris also drew a walk and scored an additional run. The 25-year-old should continue to see pretty regular reps at third base for Oakland.

Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.

Left-hander Framber Valdez will take the mound Saturday for Houston, sending the left-handed bat of Rojas to the bench for the beginning of the game. Luis Urias will cover the hot corner instead and bat eighth.

Urias isn't in the Orioles' lineup Saturday against the Reds, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Urias saw an initial uptick in playing time after Jackson Holliday was optioned back to Triple-A Norfolk, but Saturday will mark his third consecutive game taking a backseat to Jordan Westburg. Urias is slashing just .167/.184/.250 across 49 plate appearances this season, and his lack of offensive production has likely caused him to slide down on the Orioles' depth chart.

Kiner-Falefa isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.

Kiner-Falefa went 1-for-3 during Friday's series opener, and he'll get a breather Saturday against Jake Irvin and the Nats. Justin Turner will pick up a start at third base while Daniel Vogelbach serves as Toronto's DH and bats sixth.
