Muncy exited Friday's game against Atlanta with right ankle pain, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The 29-year-old sustained the injury in the top of the fourth inning while he was trying to beat out a double play, and he was replaced by Matt Beaty at first base. It's not yet clear whether Muncy's injury will force him to miss additional time.

Muncy left Friday's game against Atlanta in the top of the fourth inning with an apparent injury, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Longoria (side) is starting Friday's game against the Cubs, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria left Monday's game due to right side soreness and was held out of the lineup each of the last two games. However, he'll play third base and bat fifth Friday.

McMahon (groin) will sit for the second straight game Friday against the Athletics, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

The Rockies described McMahon's left groin strain as "very minor" when he was held out of the lineup Thursday, but it's evidently significant enough that he'll sit for a second straight game. Garrett Hampson will again handle second base in his absence.

Urias was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

The 27-year-old was demoted to Triple-A in mid-May after posting a .626 OPS through six weeks with the Orioles, and he'll return to the major-league roster Friday. Urias also struggled in the minors with a .191/.269/.277 slash line, and he may be sent back down once Pat Valaika (personal) returns from the bereavement list.

Bregman will get a rare day off Friday against the Blue Jays, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Bregman hits the bench after starting 40 of the Astros' last 41 games. He's been in a bit of a slump over his last eight games, grabbing just four hits. Aledmys Diaz will be the third baseman in his absence.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Tigers.

Moncada took Casey Mize deep in the opening frame to record his fifth home run of the season. It was only his second long ball since April 30, though he's in the midst of a seven-game hit streak, during which time he's driven in four and scored five runs. Overall, Moncada is hitting .299/.426/.444 across 230 plate appearances this season.

Donaldson went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs, a double and an additional run scored in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Royals.

Donaldson homered off Kris Bubic in the first inning and off Jakob Junis in the seventh inning. He also doubled to lead off the fifth frame and came around to score. It was his first game this season with three extra-base hits. The 35-year-old is slashing .250/.352/.461 with seven home runs, 22 RBI and 24 runs in 182 plate appearances. He leads the Twins with a 13.7 BB% and has reached base 12 times in his last five games.

Wisdom isn't starting Thursday's game against the Giants.

Wisdom had started each of the last four games and went 7-for-15 with three home runs, four RBI and five strikeouts during that time. Sergio Alcantara will start at third base and bat seventh.

Longoria (side) is not in the lineup Thursday against the Cubs, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

The 35-year-old has been held out since being lifted from Monday's contest with soreness in his right side, and he was diagnosed with an intercostal strain after undergoing an MRI. Longoria should continue to be considered day-to-day. Wilmer Flores will start at the hot corner Thursday, while LaMonte Wade works at first base.
