Urshela went 4-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI, a home run and a double in Saturday's 9-5 loss to the Red Sox.

Urshela also rolled his ankle but never exited the contest, and manager Aaron Boone indicated after the game the team believes he's okay, per Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger. The 27-year-old has a .318/.333/.705 slash line with four home runs and five doubles in 13 games since the All-Star break.

LeMahieu has a low-grade groin strain and is considered day-to-day, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

LeMahieu was withheld from Saturday's lineup due to the issue, but it's currently unclear whether he'll be available for Sunday's series finale. The infielder believes he can play through the injury, but it remains to be seen whether the team feels the same way.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Longoria (foot) could rejoin the Giants in 10-14 days, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The Giants previously indicated Longoria could be activated during the current road trip -- which runs through Aug. 4 -- but that no longer appears to be the case. The veteran third baseman moved to the injured list in mid-July with a strained plantar fascia in his left foot, and he only just began a running program Saturday. Pablo Sandoval will continue to see the bulk of starts at third base.

Riley is not in the lineup Saturday against the Phillies.

Riley is hitting just .169 with a 41.5 percent strikeout rate this month (18 games), so he'll head to the bench for the third time in as many games as Ender Inciarte picks up another start in the outfield in his stead.

LeMahieu is dealing with groin tightness, which is why he is not in Saturday's lineup against the Red Sox, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

He had an MRI on Saturday, and manager Aaron Boone does not think it is a major injury, per Ackert. Gio Urshela is starting at third base in his stead and would figure to continue to get starts at the hot corner if LeMahieu needs more than one day off.

LeMahieu is not in the lineup Saturday against the Red Sox, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

Gio Urshela will start at third base and hit seventh against left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. LeMahieu will get the day off after appearing in eight consecutive games while slashing .379/.471/.621 with two home runs.

Senzel (dizziness) is starting at home against the Rockies on Saturday and batting sixth.

The 24-year-old returns to the Reds' lineup after experiencing dizziness and being removed from Wednesday's game against the Brewers. Since the All-Star break, he's recorded a slash line of .361/.439/.528 with one steal in 11 games.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run in Friday's 8-3 win over the Royals.

His sixth-inning blast ended up providing the winning runs for Cleveland after a late spark of offense from Kansas City. Ramirez is finally looking like his old self, slashing .345/.367/.702 through 20 games in July with seven homers, four steals, 19 runs and 21 RBI.

Segura went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Braves.

Segura suffered a heel injury during Sunday's clash, and he was forced to miss two games as a result, but he was able to rejoin the starting nine for the series opener. He later proved his health by smashing a solo homer to left in the seventh inning. The 29-year-old shortstop has pieced together a .277/.321/.440 slash line with 11 homers and 44 RBI over 91 contests in 2019.

Newman is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets, Nubyjas Wilborn of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Newman started the last four contests but makes his way to the bench Friday after going 3-for-18 in that stretch. Jung Ho Kang will start at shortstop and bat seventh for the Pirates.
