Urias is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Urias will take a seat Tuesday for the second time in Baltimore's first five games of the season. Jordan Westburg will receive another look at third base while Tony Kemp starts at the keystone.

Jung was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Rangers on Tuesday with a fractured right wrist, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

Jung suffered the unfortunate injury when he was hit by a pitch in Monday's game against the Rays. There is no timetable for the 26-year-old's return at this point, but he will certainly be on the shelf for several weeks. Josh Smith is getting the first shot to fill in at third base for Jung on Tuesday, but Ezequiel Duran and Justin Foscue will also be in the mix.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on the Talkin' Yanks podcast Tuesday that Peraza (shoulder) will begin throwing Wednesday.

Peraza is working his way back from a subscapularis strain in his right shoulder, but Boone expressed optimism Tuesday that it wouldn't take the infielder long to get ramped back up. With Oswaldo Cabrera off to a hot start, Jon Berti now around and DJ LeMahieu (foot) likely to beat Peraza back from the injured list, the latter could be sent to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre once he's healthy.

Shenton went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts and a walk Monday against the Rangers.

Shenton made his first major-league start, playing first base and hitting eighth after appearing as a pinch hitter Sunday. He posted a 1.035 OPS across 271 plate appearances with Triple-A Durham in 2023, though that came at the elevated age of 25. Shenton could be an intriguing option if he can get more consistent at-bats, though it appears the Rays will have to suffer several injuries for that to occur.

Mead went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Monday against the Rangers.

Mead had been in the lineup once through the Rays' first four games, which came against lefty Yusei Kikuchi. He got a chance at third base Monday against Dane Dunning, filling in for Isaac Paredes at third base, but he is still likely to see his playing time primarily come against southpaws.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in a loss to the Mariners.

Freeman brought the Guardians to within two runs with his sixth-inning solo blast, but his team ultimately fell short. The long ball was the first of the campaign for the 24-year-old, who never hit more than six homers over a season in the minors. Freeman is better known for his speed and bat-to-ball ability, and he's attempting to use that skill set to hold down a near-everyday role in center field after playing mostly in the infield as a minor-leaguer.

Caminero (quadriceps) was placed on the 7-day injured list Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Topkin notes that Caminero was diagnosed with a relatively minor left quad strain after being lifted from Triple-A Durham's game Sunday. If all goes well, the 20-year-old top prospect could return to play sometime next week.

Jung has been diagnosed with a fractured right wrist, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

This is tough news for Jung and the Rangers after the 26-year-old missed time down the stretch of the 2023 season while rehabbing from a fractured left thumb that required surgery. It's too early for the club to provide a timetable for his return, but he figures to miss the rest of April and likely a good part of May, meaning significant playing time for Ezequiel Duran and Josh Smith at third base.

Jung left Monday's game against the Rays after being hit by a pitch, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

The location and extent of Jung's injury are unclear. Ezequiel Duran would be in line for work at the hot corner if Jung is forced to miss additional time.

Keith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Keith will hit the bench for the first time in his young MLB career after starting each of the Tigers' first three contests in the season-opening sweep of the White Sox. Andy Ibanez will step in at the keystone for Keith, who went 1-for-11 with two walks in Chicago.
