Coby Mayo 3B | BAL
Orioles' Coby Mayo: Sitting out opener
Mayo is not in Friday's lineup against the Rays.
Since Ramon Urias sprained his ankle Aug. 31, Mayo has made two starts at third base, with Emmanuel Rivera also getting two starts at the hot corner. Nick Maton is picking up his first start at third base for the Orioles on Friday, so the position appears to be a full-on timeshare.

Rays' Junior Caminero: Knocks in two
Caminero went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Thursday against the Twins.
Caminero has started 20 of 21 games since being recalled Aug. 13. He's had a strong showing, maintaining a 10.1 percent walk rate and a 22.2 percent strikeout rate with a .263 batting average. Caminero has also shown some decent pop, collecting seven extra-base hits across 90 plate appearances.

Tigers' Jace Jung: On bench Thursday
Jung is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.
Jung started in three consecutive games before Thursday's game. In that span, he collected one hit and a walk across 11 plate appearances. Andy Ibanez has the start at third base and is batting second Thursday.

Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA
Angels' Anthony Rendon: Absent from lineup
Rendon is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.
Rendon started the previous eight tilts but managed just a .598 OPS over that stretch. Charles Leblanc will draw a start at third base and bat seventh while Rendon gets some rest.

Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Still out Thursday
Bohm (hand) isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Thursday's game against Miami.
Bohm will be missing his sixth consecutive game as a result of inflammation in his left hand. The team still doesn't believe he'll need to spend time on the injured list, though that may change if the 28-year-old doesn't return before the end of the series. Kody Clemens will start at the hot corner Thursday and bat eighth.

Jeimer Candelario 3B | LAA
Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Yet to resume baseball activities
Candelario (toe) has yet to resume baseball activities, MLB.com reports.
Candelario is almost three weeks removed from suffering a fractured left great toe and remains limited to rehabilitation work due to lingering discomfort. It shouldn't take long for him to become game-ready once the soreness subsides, but it's not clear when/if that might happen before the end of the season.

Rafael Devers 3B | SF
Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Another hitless night
Devers batted second and went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Mets.
Devers was moved up the batting order behind Jarren Duran with the hope he'd see more fastballs and emerge from a slump. The theory was sound, but it didn't work out. Devers drove in a run on a sacrifice fly -- his first RBI in seven games -- but went hitless for the fifth time in the last six contests (1-for-24, seven strikeouts).

Luis Urias 2B | ATH
Mariners' Luis Urias: Huge performance in win
Urias went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, four RBI and two runs scored while also drawing a walk in Wednesday's win over the Athletics.
Urias brought home Mitch Garver with an RBI double in the top of the fourth before coming around to score himself on a Dylan Moore single as the Mariners took a 5-1 lead. The infielder then added a leadoff homer in the seventh to extend the lead, followed by another RBI double in the eighth, giving him his first three-hit performance of the campaign, as well as his first hits since being promoted to the majors last week. Urias' four RBI on the night also marked a season high.
