Urias went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored during Monday's 4-3 loss to the Mets.

Urias was one of few Orioles players to have success against Mets' starter David Peterson, tagging Peterson for a double in the fifth inning and a homer in the seventh inning. The third baseman has lifted three home runs in nine games, going 9-for-25 with eight RBI and five runs scored during that stretch.

Muncy (oblique) has been activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Mariners, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

It was rumored over the weekend that Muncy might be available to return in time for Monday's series opener, and he's since been given the green light to take the field. The 33-year-old landed on the 60-day IL on May 17 due to a right oblique strain but should resume an everyday role in the infield going forward.

Hernaiz is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Rays, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Hernaiz had started each of the last five and seven of the last eight games at third base, but he will begin this one on the bench. Abraham Toro is getting the call at the hot corner in the series opener versus the Rays.

Rendon (elbow) will start at third base and bat fifth in Monday's game in Kansas City, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Rendon sat out the previous two contests with a sore right elbow as a result of a hit-by-pitch, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one. The veteran third baseman is slashing a dreadful .235/.312/.281 for the Halos this season.

The Pirates placed Hayes on the 10-day injured list Monday with low-back inflammation, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

It was reported earlier Monday that Hayes has been playing with a herniated disc in his back for much of the season, and this is the second time a back problem has landed him on the IL. It's not clear how much time he might miss. Jared Triolo figures to handle third base for now, although Isiah Kiner-Falefa could move there when Nick Gonzales (groin) returns.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

Garcia took a seat in back-to-back games for the first time all year Wednesday and Friday but returned to the lineup for a pair of games against the Reds over the weekend. Once again, the 24-year-old is absent from the starting nine, giving way to Paul DeJong at third base Monday.

Bregman (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Bregman will hit the bench for a fourth straight game due to swelling in the back of his right elbow. According to MLB.com, manager Joe Espada said that Bregman has resumed hitting in the batting cage and taking ground balls, but Rome speculates that the third baseman could nonetheless remain out of the lineup until the beginning of the Astros' road trip Thursday in Baltimore. Shay Whitcomb will get another start at third base Monday in place of Bregman.

Marte is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

After starting in 13 of the Reds' previous 14 games, Marte is absent from the lineup for a second straight game. Santiago Espinal will bat ninth and play the hot corner Monday. Marte has two hits and eight strikeouts in his last 20 at-bats.

Atlanta announced Monday that Riley was diagnosed with a fractured right hand following an MRI and is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks.

Initial testing on Riley's hand after he was hit by a pitch Sunday was inconclusive, but Monday's MRI revealed the third baseman is dealing with a fracture. The 6-to-8-week timeline all but guarantees Riley won't return before October, with Atlanta's final regular-season contest being exactly six weeks away from this past Sunday. Atlanta currently holds the NL's third and final wild-card spot, so there's a chance Riley could be back for postseason play. In the meantime, Luke Williams will likely step in as Atlanta's primary option at the hot corner.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in a win over the Pirates on Sunday.

Rojas delivered his first home run of August in the fourth inning to extend the Mariners' lead to 5-0 at the time. The multi-hit effort was Rojas' first since the last time he'd left the yard July 31, and it snapped an 0-for-12 slump that had encompassed his previous four games. Despite the productive day Sunday, Rojas' bat has lost almost all of its early-season sizzle, as he's carrying a .198 average and .599 OPS over the 62 games he's played since June 1.
