Urshela was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left pelvis fracture, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Urshela sustained the injury in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Rangers, when he stumbled awkwardly over first base while trying to beat out a double-play ball. The Angels haven't yet provided a timeline for Urshela's return, but his move to the IL means he'll be out for at least a week and a half. The Angels called up Michael Stefanic from Triple-A Salt Lake to take Urshela's spot on the active roster.

Rendon (wrist) is out of the lineup Friday against the Royals.

Rendon took a pitch off his left wrist in the first inning of Thursday's series finale against the Rangers. He's expected to avoid the injured list after undergoing a round of imaging scans and can be considered day-to-day. Luis Rengifo is at third base and batting eighth Friday versus Kansas City.

De La Cruz isn't in the Reds' lineup Friday against the Astros, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

After taking the majors by storm with a hot start to his MLB career, De La Cruz has cooled off as of late with just a .470 OPS over the last seven days. He'll get a day off Friday to regroup while Nick Senzel covers third base, Spencer Steer moves to left field and Kevin Newman starts at first.

Senzel (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is batting seventh while starting at third base Friday versus the Astros, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Senzel will return to the big leagues Friday after missing the minimum 10 days while nursing a sore right knee. The 27-year-old appeared in two games with Triple-A Louisville while on a rehab assignment, going 2-for-7 with two runs scored while walking once and striking out twice. Prior to getting hurt, Senzel had produced a .277 average with three doubles, nine RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base over his previous 13 games. Jose Barrero was optioned to Louisville in order to open a roster spot for Senzel.

LeMahieu is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Red Sox.

LeMahieu will take a seat after he went 2-for-8 with a solo homer, a double and two RBI while starting both games of the Subway Series with the Mets. Josh Donaldson will draw the start at the hot corner and bat fifth in the series opener in Boston.

McMahon is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

The left-handed hitting McMahon is being given a day off with Atlanta sending southpaw Jared Shuster to the mound. Nolan Jones -- who also swings lefty -- will receive his first start major-league start at third base.

Segura is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Segura will take a seat after he went 1-for-10 with a run scored, a walk and a strikeout while starting all three games of the team's series with Seattle. Jon Berti will take over at the hot corner and bat seventh in the opener with Washington.

Candelario went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Astros.

The steal was the second of the season for Candelario, who has only nine pilfers in his career through 670 big-league games. The third baseman has gone cold at the plate in June, batting .135 (5-for-37) with two doubles, a homer, five runs and five RBI in 11 contests.

Burger went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and four strikeouts Thursday in a loss to the Dodgers in extra innings.

It was an all-or-nothing performance for Burger at the dish, as he went yard in the fourth inning but failed to make contact in any of his remaining plate appearances. That's been an issue for the infielder of late, as he's fanned at least once in each of his past 10 games and has posted a 46.3 percent strikeout rate over that span. On the other side of the all-or-nothing coin, Burger has swatted five homers and driven in 11 runs over that 10-game stretch.

Machado went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run against the Guardians in a loss Thursday.

After Cleveland posted five first-inning runs, Machado got San Diego right back in the game with his three-run blast off rookie Logan Allen in the bottom of the frame. It was Machado's second home run in as many days after he went deep just six times over his first 50 games this season. The star third baseman has begun to heat up after a slow start to the campaign, slashing .385/.400/.667 with three homers, six RBI and nine runs over his past nine games.
