Toro went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

Donning a Mariners uniform has undeniably agreed with Toro, who now boasts a .500 average (9-for-18) with three doubles, two home runs, four RBI, one walk, one stolen base and five runs over his first five games with Seattle. The 24-year-old was already making a strong case to keep primary duties at the keystone with those numbers, but that has been further cemented by Shed Long's (lower leg) placement on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Bregman (quadriceps/hamstring) was scratched from Monday's lineup at Triple-A Sugar Land, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman exited Sunday's rehab game due to right hamstring tightness, and he'll be out of the lineup for at least one game while he recovers. The 27-year-old had appeared in five rehab games prior to Sunday's injury, so he's approaching his return to the major-league roster as long as his recent injury doesn't present a major setback in his recovery process. According to Jake Kaplan of The Athletic, Bregman is scheduled to run Monday, and after that the next step in his rehab program will be determined.

Urshela (hamstring) isn't starting Monday's game against the Orioles.

Urshela will be excluded from the lineup for a fourth straight game due to a hamstring issue. The 29-year-old is still considered day-to-day, and Rougned Odor will take his place at the hot corner and bat sixth.

LeMahieu (triceps) is starting Monday's game against the Orioles.

As expected LeMahieu will be back in the starting nine for Monday's series opener after a three-game absence due to a triceps strain. The 33-year-old will start at the keystone and lead off.

Rendon (hamstring) has not restarted baseball activities and remains without a timetable for a return, per MLB.com.

The third baseman is coming up on a month since he last saw game action, but he "hasn't made any noticeable strides in his recovery to the point where he could take the next step in his rehab." According to the Associated Press, Rendon has been putting in work in the training and weight rooms, though that doesn't give much indication about the status of his injured left hamstring. Jeff Fletcher of The Orange Country Register notes that in a conversation with Angels manager Joe Maddon, Rendon didn't seem optimistic about his recovery.

Candelario went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Orioles.

Candelario has played well recently, as he's riding a seven-game hitting streak and is batting .393 during that span. For the season, the infielder is batting .276. Candelario should remain locked in as one of Detroit's top offensive options, though he hasn't delivered great counting stats this year with just seven home runs and 36 RBI across 98 games.

Bregman (quadriceps) was removed from Sunday's rehab game at Triple-A Sugar Land due to right hamstring tightness, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman was appearing in his fifth rehab game, and the Astros called his removal from the contest precautionary. Prior to his departure, he went 0-for-1 with a strikeout. The 27-year-old has now gone 0-for-13 with a run, three walks and a strikeout to begin his rehab assignment, but it's not yet clear whether his hamstring issue will slow his recovery.

Donaldson (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

He'll take a seat for the fourth game in a row while he manages a tight right hamstring. Luis Arraez will fill in at third base for Donaldson, who will hope to be ready to go for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati with the benefit of Monday's team off day.

Urshela (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Both Urshela and DJ LeMahieu (triceps) will remain on the bench with their respective injuries for the third game in a row. According to Lindsey Adler of The Athletic, manager Aaron Boone said he expects LeMahieu to rejoin the lineup Monday against Baltimore, while the skipper suggested Urshela is progressing but expected to need more recovery time. A trip to the injured list could be in the offing for Urshela if he fails to take a meaningful step forward in his rehab program in the next day or two.

Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Urias will be on the bench Sunday, but the 27-year-old should be locked in as Baltimore's everyday shortstop for the rest of the season after the injured Freddy Galvis (quadriceps) was shipped to Philadelphia ahead of Friday's trade deadline. The promise of steady playing time should keep Urias relevant in AL-only leagues and perhaps in deeper mixed leagues in which fantasy managers are seeking a boost in batting average. Urias enters Sunday's series finale with a robust .283 average on the season, but his contributions in other categories (four runs, 24 RBI, 19 runs and one stolen base in 169 plate appearances) are fairly lean.
