Ramon Urias 3B | STL
Orioles' Ramon Urias: Testing hamstring Sunday
Urias is running the bases and testing his strained left hamstring with Baltimore head trainer Brian Ebel on Sunday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Depending on how Urias feels after running, the infielder could begin a rehab assignment as early as next week. The infielder has been on the shelf since May 9 with the strain, and he likely would need a handful of games -- if not more -- before having a chance to return next weekend. Assuming there are no setbacks, Urias could be back in the lineup for Baltimore by the end of May.

Athletics' Jace Peterson: On bench Sunday
Peterson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Rays' Isaac Paredes: Sitting Sunday
Paredes is not in the starting lineup Sunday against Milwaukee, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Paredes will take a seat after he went 0-for-9 with an RBI and three strikeouts over the last three contests. Taylor Walls will draw the start at the hot corner and bat seventh in the series finale versus the Brewers.

Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA
Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Breather Sunday
Wisdom is not in the starting lineup Sunday versus Philadelphia.

Jeimer Candelario 3B | LAA
Nationals' Jeimer Candelario: Big game against former club
Candelario went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.
His fourth-inning solo shot off Alex Faedo got the Nationals on the board, and Candelario then wrapped up the scoring in the eighth with an RBI double. The switch-hitting third baseman is on fire right now, reeling off five multi-hit performances in the last six games with four doubles, a triple and two homers among his 12 hits. The surge has boosted Candelario's slash line on the season up to .253/.310/.447.

Kyle Farmer 3B | ATL
Twins' Kyle Farmer: Racks up three hits
Farmer went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Angels.
Farmer has logged multiple hits in four of his last six contests, and he's driven in at least one run in five of those games. The 32-year-old continues to hit well, with his latest strong game lifting his season slash line to .319/.377/.478 with three home runs, 14 RBI, 15 runs scored and two doubles through 77 plate appearances.

Brian Anderson RF | ATL
Brewers' Brian Anderson: Hits two-run homer
Anderson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss against Tampa Bay.
Anderson took Rays starter Zach Eflin yard in the fourth inning to bring Willy Adames around to score and bring the Brewers to within one run of Tampa Bay. However, Milwaukee would allow five unanswered runs over the next three innings and eventually fell to the Rays 8-4. Through 43 games, Anderson owns a .236/.327/.426 slash line with seven home runs and 24 RBI. After not hitting a home run between April 24 and May 15, Anderson now has two over his past four games.

Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN
Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Slugs fifth homer
Suarez went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two total runs scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.
Suarez has homered twice in the last five games and now has five long balls on the year. He provided the Mariners' last runs of the contest Saturday. The third baseman has hit at least 31 homers in each of the last four full-length seasons, but he's a bit behind the pace in 2023. He's slashing .231/.330/.349 with 25 RBI, 19 runs scored, a stolen base and five doubles through 45 games.

Jean Segura 3B | CLE
Marlins' Jean Segura: Out of lineup
Segura will sit Saturday against San Francisco, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Segura owns an awful .509 OPS on the season, but he's started to show signs of life over the past week, grabbing seven hits across a five-game stretch before going hitless Friday. He'll get a rest Saturday, with Jon Berti starting at third base.
-
Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN
Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Drops in order
Hayes went 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored Friday against the Diamondbacks.
Hayes hit fifth in the order against right-handed pitching for the third consecutive game, though he responded with his third multi-RBI game of the season. Even after collecting two doubles, he's slugging just .309 since the beginning of May, spanning 15 games and 55 at-bats. As has been the case for much of his big-league career, most of Hayes' fantasy value comes from scoring runs and stealing bases.
