Toro stole a base as a pinch runner in Thursday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Rangers.

Toro swiped third base in the 10th inning but was stranded. It was just his second steal in 104 contests this season after he swiped six bags in 95 games last year 2021. The 25-year-old infielder has a .183/.238/.320 slash line with nine home runs, 30 RBI, 34 runs scored, 13 doubles and a triple, and he's into a reserve role since Eugenio Suarez returned from the injured list.

Walls is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Walls has a .561 OPS through 21 games in September and will head to the bench for Thursday's series finale. Jonathan Aranda will step in at the keystone and bat leadoff.

Suarez went 3-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk in a win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

Suarez served in the DH role for the second time in as many games following his return from the injured list, and he was the Mariners' most productive hitter on the night overall. The veteran's first-inning double erased an early 1-0 deficit by plating Dylan Moore, while the multi-hit effort was his first since Sept. 11. Suarez's 85 RBI are also his best showing in that category since 2019, and he's now sporting a 97-point improvement over his 2021 OPS of .714.

Moncada (foot) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

Moncada was held out of Wednesday's lineup with a sore foot, and he will sit out Thursday for a second straight game. Josh Harrison will man the hot corner in Moncada's place.

Urshela went 3-for-4 with a double and three runs scored in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

Urshela notched a double off righty starter Johnny Cueto during his three-hit, three-run affair. The third baseman has been heating up of late, going 10-for-16 with two doubles, two RBI and five runs over his last four games.

Rendon (wrist) was activated from the 60-day injured list and will begin serving his five-game suspension Wednesday against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The 32-year-old seemed likely to be out for the season after he underwent wrist surgery in June, but he progressed to hitting against live pitching this week and will rejoin the Angels for the final week of the season. Rendon will first serve a five-game suspension stemming from a brawl with the Mariners shortly after the wrist surgery, and he'll be eligible to take the field for Monday in Oakland for the final three games of the campaign.

Moncada isn't starting Wednesday against the Twins due to a bone bruise on the top of his foot, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Moncada sustained his injury when fouling a ball off his foot late in Tuesday's loss to the Twins, and he'll undergo X-rays to determine the extent of the issue. He's considered day-to-day for now, but Josh Harrison should see increased time at third base if Moncada is forced to miss additional time.

LeMahieu (toe) will be reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Orioles, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Manager Aaron Boone hinted early this week that LeMahieu was in the mix to return to action Wednesday, but the team elected to give the second baseman two extra days off. Boone also indicated last week that LeMahieu likely won't be 100 percent healthy when he's activated, but the 34-year-old will have a few chances to appear in regular-season games ahead of postseason play.

Moncada isn't starting Wednesday against Minnesota.

Moncada is getting a breather after he went 2-for-7 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and a strikeout over the last two games. Josh Harrison will take over at the hot corner and bat eighth.

The Orioles recalled Nevin from Triple-A Norfolk, and he'll start at third base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Nevin is joining the Orioles' 28-man active roster as a replacement for Ramon Urias (knee), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Assuming he sticks with Baltimore through the final week of the season, Nevin will likely form the short side of a platoon at the hot corner with the lefty-hitting Gunnar Henderson, who is sitting against Boston southpaw Rich Hill.
