Urias (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Aberdeen on Wednesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Urias tested his hamstring by running the bases Sunday and clearly got through it without issue. It's unclear how long he'll be on assignment, but he has a chance to return before the end of the month.

Garcia went 3-for-4 with one RBI, one run scored and one steal in Tuesday's 4-1 victory over the Tigers.

After going 0-for-8 in his last three appearances, Garcia bounced back for a three-hit evening while also swiping his third base of the season. Since being called up from Triple-A Omaha, Garcia has slashed .262/.324/.338 in 18 games and should continue to be part of the Royals lineup moving forward given his defensive versatility. However, Garcia offers managers very little outside of his speed, considering his lack of power (.082 ISO) and slotting toward the bottom of a lineup that scores less than four runs per game.

Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss against the Yankees.

Henderson took a changeup in the middle of the zone from Gerrit Cole yard for his fifth home run of the season, officially besting his 2022 total. Though Henderson has been working in an everyday role, he could get pushed for playing time if the Orioles continue to hunt down their first playoff appearance since 2016 considering his measly .201/.335/.381 slash line and massive 37.3 percent strikeout rate.

McMahon went 0-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Marlins.

McMahon knocked in a run with a fielder's choice in the fifth inning and promptly stole second. He's now 0-for-11 across the last three games, and his RBI was his third over the last 11 contests. For the season, the infielder is slashing a poor .216/.290/.377 with four home runs, four steals, 19 RBI and 21 runs scored through 47 games.

Jung went 2-for-4 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-1 victory over the Pirates.

Jung extended Texas' lead to 4-1 with a two-run single in the sixth inning before smacking his 11th home run of the year off Duane Underwood in the eighth. Jung has homered in three straight contests while extending his hitting streak to seven games. The rookie third baseman is now slashing .268/.316/.492 with 33 RBI and 33 runs scored through 193 plate appearances this season.

Machado (hand) took swings off a tee Tuesday, Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

Padres manager Bob Melvin told reporters after the workout that he's not sure when Machado will be ready to come off the injured list. He's first eligible for activation this Friday, though that would be fairly aggressive timeline given the star third baseman has a small fracture in his left hand. There should be more clarity on the situation after a few more days of treatment and baseball activity.

Paredes will start at third base Tuesday and bat seventh against the Blue Jays.

Paredes was initially absent from Tuesday's lineup, but Brandon Lowe's neck stiffness will force Paredes back into action. The 24-year-old third baseman has been on a mini cold-streak lately, slashing just .071/.133/.071 in his last five games.

Burger took grounders at second base pregame Tuesday, with White Sox manager Pedro Grifol saying he's open to using the 27-year-old at the position, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Grifol indicated back in mid-April that it was unlikely he'd use Burger at second base, but the latter's ongoing success at the plate has apparently led to the skipper reconsidering the matter. Burger does have modest experience at the keystone, but the White Sox certainly would be taking a hit defensively when he plays there. However, it might be worth it in order to keep his bat in the lineup when Eloy Jimenez (abdomen) returns.

Paredes isn't in the Rays' lineup for Tuesday's game against Toronto, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

The 24-year-old third baseman snapped a four-game hitless streak Monday and will now get a day off Tuesday. Taylor Walls will take over for Paredes at third base and bat sixth.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Donaldson (hamstring/thumb) is close to heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Boone also noted that Donaldson will be an everyday player when he returns from the 10-day injured list. Donaldson's right hamstring seemingly has been a non-issue for a little while now, but he had a setback recently when he sliced his thumb in a mishap at home. It's not clear how many rehab games Donaldson might require before being activated.
