Riley went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a strikeout in Atlanta's 6-1 victory over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Riley opened the game's scoring with a 424-foot drive to left in the top of the first to achieve the first 30-home-run campaign of his young career. The solid game continues a torrid stretch that's seen the 24-year-old go 10-for-27 with four doubles and a home run over his last six games.

Peraza was promoted from Double-A Somerset to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

Peraza is set for his second promotion this summer after the infielder previously moved up to Double-A in early June. He continued to impress offensively at Somerset, slashing .294/.348/.466 with 12 homers, 51 runs scored, 40 RBI and 20 stolen bases across 79 games. At just 21 years of age, the Yankees will likely want Peraza to get plenty of at-bats in at Triple-A before considering him for a major-league call-up, but all signs so far point toward him having a chance to become an everyday player at the big-league level.

Toro is not starting Tuesday against the Athletics.

Toro is hitless in his last 23 at-bats dating back to Sept. 14 and he's hitting just .172/.250/.234 altogether in September. He'll look to reset Tuesday as Dylan Moore takes over at second base.

Bregman is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Angels, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman started the past five games and will receive a day off after going 4-for-20 with four walks, four RBI and three runs. Aledmys Diaz will cover the hot corner in his place Tuesday.

Urias (upper leg) was scratched from the lineup Tuesday versus the Phillies, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The 27-year-old was expected to make his return from a three-game absence Tuesday, but it appears he'll need at least another day off. Pat Valaika will shift over to second base and Richie Martin will enter the lineup and play shortstop, batting seventh.

Kieboom's absence from the lineup for Tuesday's game against Miami is due to a jammed thumb, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Kieboom is evidently not sitting due to the slump which has seen him hit .061/.205/.061 over his last nine games but is instead dealing with a minor injury. He'll be available off the bench, so he's unlikely to miss much more time. Jordy Mercer starts at third base.

Urias (upper leg) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies after missing the previous three games, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The infielder has battled an upper leg injury for the majority of September, and the issue became severe enough to sideline him for the last three games. He appears to be feeling better Tuesday, however, as he'll return to second base and bat fifth.

Kieboom is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Kieboom has just two hits in his last nine games. He'll get a rest Tuesday, with Jordy Mercer taking over at third base.

Newman will not start Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Newman remains a regular despite the fact that he's hitting just .224/.261/.331 on the season. It will take quite a run over the final two weeks if he's to avoid finishing with an OPS south of .600 for the second straight season. Cole Tucker takes over at shortstop.

Moustakas will sit Tuesday against the Pirates.

Moustakas has occupied the large side of a platoon at third base since returning from a heel injury in early August, but his off day here comes against righty Mitch Keller. His .208/.282/.372 season slash line arguably doesn't deserve even a platoon role, though Eugenio Suarez, who starts at the hot corner in his absence, is hitting just .179/.268/.390.
