Urshela is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Urshela rejoined the lineup for the past two games after missing a couple days with an ankle injury, and he'll return to the bench after going 2-for-9 with a triple and a run scored. Jose Miranda will shift to the hot corner while Tim Beckham serves as the designated hitter.

Bride isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Angels.

Bride started the last five games and went 4-for-19 with two walks and four strikeouts. Seth Brown will take over at first base while Stephen Vogt enters the lineup behind the dish.

Moncada went 1-for-7 with a home run and two RBI across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals.

Moncada tallied his sixth home run of the season in the second game of the doubleheader. It was his first home run since the All-Star break, and he's hit just .148 with nine RBI and four runs scored across 17 starts. That stretch continues a disappointing season for Moncada, as he's now hitting just .197/.258/.322 across 260 plate appearances.

Paredes is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes will take a seat for the second time in four games while Ji-Man Choi and Brandon Lowe pick up starts at first base and second base, respectively, closing off Paredes' primary paths to playing time. Though he closed the weekend with a pair of two-hit games, Paredes has generally struggled since the All-Star break, producing a .208/.291/.333 slash line with just one home run in 13 games.

Urias went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jays.

Urias helped the Orioles claim an early lead, hitting a two-out blast in the first inning. It was his first long ball since July 26, and in the 12 games since that date, the infielder has slumped, going just 5-for-42 (.119) with no multi-hit efforts. He'd gotten his batting average for the year as high as .268 in July, but it's down to .245 with a .721 OPS, 12 long balls, 40 RBI, 36 runs scored and a stolen base through 78 contests.

Jung (shoulder) will be activated from Triple-A Round Rock's 60-day injured list Tuesday and start at third base in his season debut for the affiliate, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Entering spring training, Jung looked like the leading candidate to open the season as the Rangers' starting third baseman, but his hopes of breaking camp with the big club came to an end when he ultimately required surgery to repair his torn left labrum, an injury he sustained while lifting weights. At the time of his procedure in late February, Jung was expected to miss 6-to-8 months, but he progressed much faster in his recovery than anticipated. The 24-year-old began a rehab assignment July 28 in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, and after hitting .240 with three home runs while seeing time at both corner-infield spots over eight games, he'll get the green light to debut for Round Rock. If Jung holds up well physically and shows that he can consistently hit for power at Triple-A coming off shoulder surgery, a late-season promotion to the Rangers could still be in play.

Donaldson went 4-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, three RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 9-4 win over Seattle.

Donaldson put the Yankees on the board with a two-run single in the first inning and added a solo shot in the third, both against Logan Gilbert. The veteran third baseman has multiple hits in three of his last six games after producing just three multi-hit performances over his previous 20 appearances. During the small hot streak, he's knocked six extra-base hits with eight RBI and a 1.288 OPS, improving his season slash line to .231/.310/.405 through 364 plate appearances.

Peraza was removed from Sunday's Triple-A game against Buffalo after being hit by a pitch on his right hand, and subsequent X-rays showed no broken bones, per Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune.

RailRiders manager Doug Davis indicated that the organization was being cautious in removing Peraza after the hit-by-pitch and that the shortstop wasn't in much pain. X-ray results suggest that Peraza avoided a serious injury, though it's uncertain if he'll need to miss any time. The 22-year-old started the season somewhat slowly but is slashing .305/.371/.558 with six homers, 18 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 23 games since the start of July.

Lewis was cleared to resume walking without the aid of crutches July 12, three weeks after he underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Though he's still in the early stage of his rehab program, Lewis already appears to be progressing at a faster rate than he did in February 2021, when he first tore the ACL of the same knee. After getting surgery last February, Lewis didn't start walking until five and a half weeks later. Lewis ultimately received a clean bill of health ahead of spring training, but due to the timing of his latest surgery and its estimated 10-to-12-month recovery timeline, he's likely to spent at least the first few weeks of the 2023 campaign on the injured list. While the pair of knee surgeries are troubling for a player like Lewis who is speed-oriented, he has youth working in his favor and shouldn't be sidelined for a large chunk of the upcoming season if he manages to steer clear of any setbacks in the months to come.

Suarez went 2-for-3 with an RBI double, a walk and two runs in a win over the Angels on Sunday.

Suarez opened the scoring on the afternoon with his 20th two-bagger of the season, which plated Adam Frazier. The veteran third baseman had been mired in an 0-for-13 funk over the prior three games, and Sunday's double marked only his fourth extra-base hit in the last 19 games.
