Ramirez Is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

The 28-year-old sits following an 0-for-3 performance Monday, which lowered his average to .180 in 12 games this month. Ernie Clement is starting at third base and batting ninth Tuesday.

Paredes (hip) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Paredes picked up a sore hip during Monday's 14-0 win, so he'll get Tuesday off to recuperate. Harold Castro fills in at second base for Paredes, who went 3-for-3 with a double and a run in the blowout victory.

Low-A Lynchburg activated Noel (ankle) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Noel went 3-for-14 (.214) across five games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. He'll look to regain an everyday role with Lynchburg now that he's healthy. Noel's slashed .347/.368/.639 across 76 plate appearances, although it seems unlikely he'll move up in the organization during 2021.

Moncada went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 5-3 win over the Twins in the second game of Monday's doubleheader.

Moncada, who went 1-for-4 in the first game of the twin bill, has hit safely in all five games since returning from the All-Star break. The third baseman had been plagued by soreness in his hand leading up the break, but he appears to be fine now.

Ramirez went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 4-3 loss to Houston.

Ramirez is now 9-for-11 in stolen base attempts this season, and he's 3-for-3 on the basepaths in July. The third baseman is slashing a solid .254/.341/.505 with 19 home runs, 52 RBI and 62 runs scored through 352 plate appearances, although he has just one long ball and two RBI through 12 July games.

Paredes is being considered day-to-day due to hip soreness, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. He went 3-for-3 with one run scored Monday against Texas.

Paredes appears to have suffered the injury during Monday's matchup, and the team will closely monitor his status moving forward. His availability for Tuesday is game currently in question.

Paredes was added to the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Paredes was initially slated to get a day off Monday, but he'll join the starting nine after Jake Rogers (arm) was a late scratch. He'll play third base and bat eighth.

Toro isn't in the lineup Monday against Cleveland.

Toro went 2-for-10 with a homer, two runs and a strikeout across the last three games. Robel Garcia will start at third base and bat eighth.

Paredes isn't starting Monday's game against the Rangers.

Paredes had started in two of the last three games, and he went 2-for-7 during that time. Jonathan Schoop will take over at the keystone while Miguel Cabrera starts at first base.

Urias went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Royals.

Urias kicked off the scoring with a two-run single to right field in the third inning. The 27-year-old has taken over as the Orioles' everyday shortstop since Freddy Galvis was placed on the injured list June 27. In 15 games since then, Urias is slashing .328/.381/.483 with two homers, 10 RBI, six runs scored and a 5:11 BB:K. He also has eight games with multiple hits over that span. Urias should have at least another week in that starting role with Galvis' absence expected to be between one-to-two months and is worth a look in deeper mixed leagues or AL-only formats.
