Toro went 2-for-5 with a double and a run in a win over the Astros on Wednesday.

Toro stepped up with his first multi-hit effort since May 15 to help the Mariners to yet another win over the AL West-leading Astros. In the process, the 25-year-old snapped the 0-for-18 skid that had encompassed his last five games, but his unsightly .171/.224/.342 slash line is still dampening his fantasy value significantly.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.

Ramirez has recorded five of his nine steals this season in his last 11 games, despite hitting just .256 over that span. The third baseman continues to provide well-rounded production with a .285/.388/.611 slash line, 14 home runs, 54 RBI, 34 runs scored, 13 doubles and four triples through 227 plate appearances in an everyday role.

Muncy (elbow) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Muncy missed two weeks due to left elbow inflammation but recently completed a four-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City and went 2-for-14 with a homer, two RBI, three runs and six strikeouts. The 31-year-old hit just .150 through 41 games prior to his absence, but he should see regular playing time in the heart of the Dodgers' order now that he's back in action.

Moncada is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's contest against the Dodgers.

Moncada will get a breather after starting the first two games of the series, going 1-for-7 in those contests. Jake Burger will get the start at third base and bat fifth Thursday.

Senzel (back) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Senzel will miss a second consecutive game while dealing with a back injury as Albert Almora draws the start in center field and will bat eighth Thursday. Manager David Bell told Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer that Senzel had his back examined Thursday and he could miss a day or a few.

Arenado is starting at third base and batting third in Thursday's matchup with the Rays, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

After missing Wednesday's loss with knee soreness after he was hit by a pitch Tuesday, Arenado is ready to go for Thursday's contest. The third baseman has been hitting better recently after a 0-for-17 stretch in late May, notching 10 hits, including a homer, with seven RBI and five runs over his last eight games.

Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Burger provided the lone run for the White Sox by taking Tony Gonsolin yard in the fifth inning for his sixth homer of the season. He's quietly been a strong source of power of late, collecting four home runs, four doubles, 12 RBI and six runs scored across his last 11 appearances. He has also remained a regular in the lineup since the return of Yoan Moncada, though Burger could be in for another challenge for playing time when Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) is activated from the injured list.

Paredes is not in the starting lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

He will take a seat for a second consecutive game Thursday as Vidal Brujan will get another start at second base and bat ninth. Paredes is currently in the middle of a 2-for-17 dry spell, so it's possible the Rays are giving him an extra day of rest to get right.

Riley went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Athletics.

Riley delivered a two-run home run in the fifth inning to record his 15th homer of the campaign. He added an RBI single two frames later and now has five home runs with 13 RBI and 12 runs scored across his last 10 starts. Riley has proven his 2021 breakout to be legitimate to this point by maintaining a .375 wOBA and 138 wRC+ across 247 plate appearances.

Miranda went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run in Wednesday's victory over the Yankees.

Miranda ripped an RBI single off Nestor Cortes in the bottom of the fourth frame before later adding a double, a run and a two-RBI single. It was the third time in his last four starts where he's recorded multiple hits, going 8-for-16 with two homers, two doubles, seven RBI and four runs in those contests. With Carlos Correa now back in the fold following a stint on the COVID list, it may be difficult for Miranda to start on a consistent basis, but his recent stretch has certainly helped his chances to crack the lineup.
