Urias is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Gunnar Henderson will start at third base and Jordan Westburg is playing second base. Urias has a six-game hitting streak in the works, though he's slashed just .252/.316/.380 across 275 total plate appearances this year with Baltimore.

Toro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Toro closed the past week by making three starts in four games, but he failed to crack the lineup at any point during the three-game set in Washington. The Brewers' recent acquisition of Mark Canha appears to have closed the door on Toro gaining meaningful playing time.

Triolo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game agains the Tigers, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) returned from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and will rejoin the starting lineup Wednesday, so Triolo's run as the Pirates' everyday third baseman appears to be over. While starting all but one of the Pirates' last 28 games, Triolo hit a respectable .268 but otherwise offered little in the way of fantasy production (zero home runs, zero stolen bases, 13 runs and nine RBI).

Moustakas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Moustakas looks to be getting some routine maintenance as the Halos close out their series in Atlanta with a day game after a night game. Eduardo Escobar will check in at third base for Moustakas, who is slashing .255/.296/.431 with five home runs and 13 RBI in 27 games since joining the Angels in late June.

Henderson went 3-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Tuesday's 13-3 rout of the Blue Jays.

The 22-year-old infielder drove a Hyun Jin Ryu changeup over the wall in right field in the sixth inning, breaking open a 3-3 tie and kicking the Orioles' offense into overdrive. Henderson has been crushing the ball since the beginning of July, slashing .262/.336/.534 in 26 games with seven of his 18 homers on the season, along with 19 RBI and 21 runs.

Garcia went 1-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Mets.

Garcia hit a solid .274 in July, and he's already off to a decent start in August. The infielder provided a sacrifice fly and an RBI single in the contest to help the Royals' offense from atop the order. For the season, Garcia is up to a .273/.321/.385 slash line with four home runs, 15 steals, 35 RBI and 32 runs scored through 74 games. He should continue to see time at leadoff while handling a near-everyday role at third base as the Royals move into prospect evaluation mode over the last two months of the campaign.

Gelof went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Gelof homered for the third time in his last four games, though he's also struck out eight times without a walk in that span. The second baseman is already up to four homers in his first 15 major-league contests. He's batting .237 with seven RBI, 11 runs scored and five stolen bases. While a 32.8 percent strikeout rate is too lofty for long-term success, his mix of power and speed could be intriguing in many fantasy formats.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Suarez opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning and added a two-run blast in the fifth. The third baseman has tallied 10 RBI over his last seven contests, though he snapped an 11-game homer drought Tuesday. For the season, he's at a .229/.322/.388 slash line with 15 long balls, 68 RBI, 43 runs scored and a stolen base over 107 contests.

McMahon went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 8-5 loss against the Padres.

McMahon went yard for a second consecutive contest, tagging reliever Steven Wilson for a three-run shot in the seventh that scored Jurickson Profar and Ezequiel Tovar. The third baseman has posted multiple hits in five of his last seven games and has logged an extra-base hit in four consecutive contests. Across his last seven appearances, McMahon is batting 11-for-28 (.393) with three homers, 10 RBI and six runs scored.

Candelario went 4-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 20-9 win over the Reds.

Candelario, who started at first base and batted sixth in his first game since getting traded to Chicago on Monday, wasted no time making an impact. He's currently fourth in the majors with 31 doubles and should fit in nicely with the Cubs, which is the team he made his MLB debut with back in 2016 before getting shipped to Detroit the following season. It appears that Candelario will primarily play first for Chicago.
