Suarez went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays. He was also hit twice by pitches.

Suarez was hit by pitches in consecutive at-bats in the fourth and fifth innings, before he delivered the Diamondbacks' fourth run with a two-out single in the seventh. The RBI was the 10th in the last five games for Suarez, who leads the team with 58 RBI in 72 contests. He's been hit by pitches 10 times this season, which is also tops on the club.

Urshela went 2-for-2 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 13-3 loss to the Astros.

Urshela missed just under four weeks due to a left hamstring strain. He didn't start Tuesday, but he was the only Athletic to log multiple hits in the contest. It's unclear if he'll be able to regain a regular role in the Athletics' infield -- his best bet for playing time is likely to challenge Max Muncy at third base, though Muncy is hitting a respectable .261 (12-for-46) in June compared to his .211 average on the year. Urshela is at a .240/.290/.360 slash line with no home runs, 14 RBI, four runs scored, 10 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases across 109 plate appearances this season. Even if he gains a starting role in the short term, Miguel Andujar (oblique) could displace Urshela once healthy.

Bride started at third base and went 1-for-2 in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Reds. He ended an 0-for-25 skid at the plate with a fifth-inning single before he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning.

Bride was hitting just .133 with a .378 OPS in 20 games since May 1 before Tuesday. He was likely a candidate to be sent down or released, but now he could see an increase in playing time if he can get going at the plate with Royce Lewis back on the injured list with a groin injury.

Barger went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 5-4 win over Arizona.

Barger and Bo Bichette hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and Barger's served as a walk-off. The long ball was Barger's eighth of the season and sixth since May 30. He's been hot at the plate lately, going 18-for-60 (.300) with 14 runs scored and 12 RBI in his last 16 games.

The Athletics reinstated Urshela (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Urshela got seven hits across 14 at-bats with a home run and two doubles in four games during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas. The 33-year-old is set to return after missing time since May 22 due to the hamstring injury he suffered. In a corresponding move, Seth Brown was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to an elbow injury.

Jung is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Royals.

Jung isn't dealing with an injury, but he'll get a second consecutive day off while he's gone just 7-for-49 with 16 strikeouts since the start of June. Ezequiel Duran will pick up another start at third base while Jung regroups.

Baty (groin) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The 25-year-old exited Sunday's loss to the Rays due to right groin tightness and will miss at least one start coming off Monday's team off day. According to DiComo, Baty said he's feeling better but isn't sure if he'll be available off the bench. Ronny Mauricio will start at third base Tuesday in place of Baty.

Machado went 1-for-3 with a home run and two total RBI in a loss to the Dodgers on Monday.

Machado accounted for the first run of the game with a sacrifice fly off Shohei Ohtani in the first inning. The veteran third baseman tacked on a 353-foot solo shot in the sixth, but his individual contributions weren't enough to provide San Diego with a win. Machado is in the midst of a strong June, as he's posted a .996 OPS with five home runs, 20 RBI, nine runs and a stolen base through 15 games this month.

Paredes (hamstring) will serve as the designated hitter and bat second against the Athletics on Monday.

Paredes sat for the Astros' last three games after straining his left hamstring against the White Sox on Thursday, but he's back in the lineup as the DH for Monday's series opener. He has gone 9-for-37 with four home runs and 10 RBI since the beginning of June.

Wagner (foot) went 3-for-10 with three doubles, one RBI and one run in two games for Triple-A Buffalo since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

Before rejoining Buffalo over weekend, Wagner hadn't played for the Blue Jays' top affiliate since May 10 after fouling a ball off of his foot. The 26-year-old infielder was productive in his return to the Buffalo lineup and should continue to handle an everyday role at Triple-A with the hope of performing well enough to earn another look in the big leagues.
