Toro went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's victory versus Detroit.

Toro singled in the second inning before he later took Alex Lange deep for a two-run shot in the top of the seventh. The homer was his ninth of the year and he has now gone 3-for-7 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored over his first two games back in the majors after being recalled Tuesday.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners.

Candelario has largely struggled this season, though he is now riding a six-game hitting streak, which has boosted his season batting average above .200. That's not saying a ton, though perhaps Candelario could deliver some fantasy value over the final month of the season even if his overall numbers are down from 2021.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's victory over the Tigers.

Suarez took Tyler Alexander deep for a two-run blast in the top of the first frame, driving in teammate Julio Rodriguez in the process. The long ball was his 25th of the season and sixth in his last 12 games. Suarez finished August on a hot streak, batting .310 with six home runs, 14 RBI and nine runs scored over the last 12 contests of the month.

Urias went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and three RBI in Wednesday's victory over the Guardians.

Urias walked with the bases loaded in the top of the third frame, driving in Rougned Odor from third base. He later added a two-run homer off Eli Morgan in the eighth inning, his 15th of the season. Urias will finish the month of August having hit .221 with four home runs, 14 RBI, 11 runs scored and a stolen base over 95 at-bats in 27 games during the month.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Guardians.

Henderson took Triston McKenzie deep for his first major-league homer in the top of the fourth inning, extending the team's lead to 2-0. The 21-year-old also added a single later in the contest. Henderson is expected to play multiple positions in the infield and should be in the lineup on an everyday basis moving forward.

The Tigers will select Kreidler's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Kreidler is among the Tigers' top prospects, and he'll join the major-league club once active rosters expand to 28 players Thursday. The 24-year-old has had a slight decrease in production at Toledo this year, slashing .218/.359/.421 with eight homers, 29 runs, 22 RBI and 15 stolen bases over 55 games in 2022. However, Kreidler should have a chance to carve out big-league at-bats over the final month of the season, especially while Jonathan Schoop (ankle) remains sidelined.

Henderson, who was called up from Triple-A Norfolk earlier Wednesday, will start at third base and bat sixth in his MLB debut against the Guardians.

The Orioles' top prospect played almost exclusively on the left side of the infield through his first three seasons in the minors before recently picking up more time at first base and second base, but the hot corner is expected to be his primary home with Baltimore, per Dan Connolly of The Athletic. Though the lefty-hitting 21-year-old could find himself on the bench versus southpaws, he'll likely be given the opportunity to play on an everyday basis against right-handed pitching after earning his ticket to the majors by producing an .894 OPS to go with 10 stolen bases over his 65 games at Norfolk. With Henderson stepping in at third base Wednesday, Ramon Urias will serve as the Orioles' designated hitter and could see most of his starts out of that spot moving forward.

Paredes (undisclosed) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes should have a clear path to a full-time role in the infield for at least the next week after Brandon Lowe (triceps) was placed on the injured list Wednesday, but he'll first have to overcome his own injury. The 23-year-old will be on the bench for a second straight contest due to the unspecified issue, which caused him to be scratched ahead of Tuesday's 7-2 win.

Bride went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run in a win over the Nationals on Tuesday.

The rookie made some noise out of the No. 7 spot in the order, posting his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 12 in the process. Bride has put together a serviceable stretch at the plate of late, cobbling together a .250 average, .764 OPS and 8.6 percent walk rate over his last 10 games.

The Orioles optioned Nevin to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

He'll cede his spot on the active roster to top prospect Gunnar Henderson, who will be eligible to play in the postseason after he was officially promoted from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday. Nevin could end up rejoining the Orioles in September when the active roster expands to 28 men, but he'll likely be little more than a right-handed-hitting option off the bench and an occasional starter versus left-handed pitching.
