Houston general manager James Click said Sunday the team remains unsure when Bregman (quadriceps) will resume his rehab assignment at Triple-A Sugar Land, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Click echoed comments of manager Dusty Baker, who on Friday said he was unsure when the third baseman would resume playing in games. "We determined that the best course of action was to do a lot of work that didn't involve playing in games," Click said. "Right now we're making sure he's good to go at full speed with his legs fully underneath him. Once we feel like that's been accomplished we'll move onto hitting." Bregman worked out over the weekend and called Saturday's session his "best day yet," but the Astros remain cautious. Click suggested there's a mental component to the process, where Bregman needs to feel confident the muscles don't seize up on him.

Urias (upper leg) went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts in Sunday's 6-2 loss to Boston.

Urias has been dealing with upper leg soreness for a week, as this was just his second start in the last eight games. The infielder played all of Sunday's contest at second base. If he can stay fully healthy, he'll be in a timeshare with Jorge Mateo, Richie Martin and Maikel Franco for playing time at the non-first-base infield positions.

LeMahieu went 1-for-5 with a base hit, a walk and a run scored Sunday in the Yankees' 5-3 win over the White Sox.

LeMahieu's base knock in the second inning extended his hitting streak to seven games, with the 33-year-old slashing .367/.457/.533 over that stretch. In what's largely been a disappointing season for LeMahieu, he's beginning to hit his stride at the dish while the Yankees have pushed themselves into the thick of the wild-card race. With Sunday's win, New York sits only 2.5 games behind Boston for the second wild-card spot.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 11-0 win over Detroit.

The third baseman capped a six-run second inning for Cleveland with his blast, and he added an RBI double in the third. Sunday was Ramirez's fifth multi-hit game in August. He's up to 26 homers, 72 RBI, 75 runs scored and 14 stolen bases with an .874 OPS through 446 plate appearances.

Astudillo was removed from Sunday's game against the Rays after being hit by a pitch on the foot, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Astudillo went 0-for-2 before being hit by a pitch to lead off the sixth inning, and he was unable to remain in the contest to run the bases. The 29-year-old figures to undergo X-rays and should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple, a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Detroit.

It was a strong showing in both power and speed for the third baseman. Ramirez entered Saturday on a 1-for-15 slump prior to his multi-hit burst. He's slashing .252/.340/.525 with 25 home runs, 14 stolen bases, 69 RBI, 74 runs scored and four triples through 441 plate appearances. Ramirez will bat third and play third base again in Sunday's series finale.

Urias (upper leg) is starting at second base and batting fifth Sunday against the Red Sox.

Urias has been dealing with soreness in his right upper leg throughout the week but will rejoin the starting nine Sunday. The 27-year-old sat five of the previous seven contests and went 0-for-6 with a walk in his two appearances.

Devers went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 16-2 rout of the Orioles.

He set the tone early with a three-run shot off Jorge Lopez in the first inning, part of a five-homer, 17-hit rampage by the Boston offense in support of Chris Sale during the southpaw's first big-league start in almost exactly two years. Devers had gone yard only once in his last 15 games, but on the season he's up to 29 homers and 89 RBI through 113 games, putting him within striking distance of career highs in both categories.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Saturday's 8-3 win over Texas.

Chapman, who hadn't homered since July 30, took Jordan Lyles deep twice in this one, first giving Oakland a 2-1 lead in the second inning, and then making it a 5-3 game in the seventh. The homers were Nos. 15 and 16 of the season for Chapman, who has had a tough year offensively, slashing just .218/.316/.382 in 472 plate appearances. He's 7-for-22 (.318) with 9:7 BB:K over the last week, however, so perhaps he's finally starting to find his way out of it.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated that Urshela (hamstring) won't be able to return during the team's current road trip that runs through Sunday, per MLB.com.

Urshela recently received a PRP shot to speed healing, but he isn't ready to rejoin the active roster. It's unclear how much longer the infielder is expected to be out, though a return by the end of next week isn't out of the question.
