Toro will sit Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Toro isn't the Mariners' primary starter at any one position, but he's been in the lineup more often than not, starting 28 of 37 games thus far. He hasn't exactly hit well enough to be a regular, however, slashing .156/.217/.312 on the year, though that line should rise along with his .140 BABIP.

Lewis will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Tuesday's game in Oakland.

Though MLB.com initially reported that Carlos Correa (finger) was on track to make his return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, the Twins will instead wait at least one more day before adding the star shortstop back to the mix. That clears the way for Lewis to man shortstop for the 11th game in a row, after the star rookie continued to impress in Monday's 3-1 win by reaching base on a double and a walk while coming around to score twice. He's now submitted a .763 OPS over his first 36 big-league plate appearances, giving him a compelling case to stick around with the Twins as a super-utility player once Correa is reinstated.

Walls will not start Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Walls has been in a slump at the plate recently, grabbing just two hits while striking out 14 times across his last 11 games. Yandy Diaz starts at third base Tuesday.

Urshela will sit Tuesday against Oakland.

Urshela has held onto regular playing time even after the arrival of rookies Jose Miranda and Royce Lewis, but the Twins' infield will get crowded once Carlos Correa (finger) returns from the injured list, which is expected to happen soon. Urshela's .226/.280/.330 slash line doesn't make the best case for an everyday role, but his past track record could still keep him in the lineup on a regular basis until he turns things around at the plate. Miranda will be the one to start at the hot corner Tuesday.

Moncada will sit for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals.

Moncada finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games, though it's no surprise that he won't be asked to start twice in one day just over a week after returning from an oblique injury which cost him over a month at the start of the campaign. Josh Harrison starts at the hot corner in his absence, but Moncada will likely return for the nightcap.

Donaldson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's win over the Orioles.

The 36-year-old launched a solo homer off Felix Bautista in the top of the ninth inning, also adding two singles and a walk earlier in the game. The long ball was Donaldson's fifth of the year and third in his last five contests. Over that stretch, he has batted .381 with seven RBI, adding a double on top of the homers. Donaldson has performed well in the early part of his first season with the Yankees, posting a .246/.358/.439 slash line with five homers and 14 RBI over 114 at-bats this season.

Toro went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI sacrifice fly and two runs in a win over the Mets on Sunday.

Toro's first multi-hit effort since May 8 snapped an 0-for-11 skid that had encompassed his last five games. Despite the productive afternoon, the 25-year-old still sports a .163/.226/.327 line across 32 games.

Paredes was recalled by the Rays on Monday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Paredes joins the team with Brandon Lowe (back) hitting the injured list. He could spend some time filling in for Lowe at second base, though Vidal Brujan will start there Monday against the Tigers and may be the preferred option.

Nevin will start at first base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Yankees, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Nevin will pick up his ninth straight start Monday, despite going 5-for-27 (.185 average) at the plate with a home run and a 4:8 BB:K over the previous eight contests. The rookie looked poised to handle an everyday role for Baltimore at least until the team returns Ryan Mountcastle (wrist) from the injured list.

Rivera went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an RBI double and two total runs scored in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Rockies.

Prior to Sunday, Rivera's lone extra-base hit of the season was the pinch-hit triple he had May 11 versus the Rangers. The 25-year-old has started to compete for more playing time, though Bobby Witt is expected to see most of the time at third base and Hunter Dozier has often served as the designated hitter, blocking Rivera's two most natural paths to starts. He's slashing .240/.321/.480 with a homer, six RBI and four runs scored through 28 plate appearances.
