Longoria went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta.

Longoria got Arizona on the board in the fifth inning with a blast off Spencer Strider. This was Longoria's fifth homer over his last 11 games, but that span dates back to May 9 as he remains in a part-time role. The veteran is batting just .216 on the year, but he has a .505 slugging percentage with eight homers, four doubles, 13 RBI and 15 runs scored through 104 plate appearances.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said after Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Giants that Henderson (back) was removed as a precaution, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports. "He'll be fine," Hyde said of Henderson, who is considered day-to-day with lower-back discomfort.

While Hyde believes that Henderson will be OK, the manager also noted that the back discomfort has been a lingering issue in recent days. Henderson could end up taking a seat for Sunday's series finale, but the expectation is that he'll be ready to handle a near-everyday role during the Orioles' upcoming six-game week. Henderson struck out in his lone at-bat before departing Saturday's contest.

Henderson left Saturday's game against the Giants with lower back discomfort, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

Henderson was replaced in the third inning of Saturday's game versus San Francisco. He went 0-for-1 before leaving. Ramon Urias has taken over at the hot corner. Henderson should be considered day-to-day, but he likely will need to undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury.

Henderson left Saturday's game against the Giants with a potential injury, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Henderson went 0-for-1 before being pulled in favor of Ramon Urias. For now, Henderson should be considered day-to-day until there are further updates on his status.

Bregman went 1-for-1 with a grand slam and four walks in Saturday's 9-6 win against the Angels.

Los Angeles pitchers didn't give Bregman much of a chance to swing the bat as 16 of the 17 pitches thrown to him on his four walks were out of the strike zone, but he maximized his production on the one ball he put into play, blasting a grand slam to left field in the fourth inning. Per Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle, this was the second time in Bregman's career that he has drawn four walks in one game, and the grand slam was his fifth as a major-leaguer. The third baseman is swinging a hot bat, compiling a 10-game hitting streak during which he is batting .417 (15-for-36) with two homers, 13 RBI and a 6:4 BB:K.

Wisdom is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.

Wisdom went 0-for-4 in Friday's game against San Diego, and he is coming off a May where he posted just a .637 OPS in 68 at-bats. He'll get a day off against the Padres on Saturday with Miles Mastrobuoni starting at third base and hitting leadoff.

Urias will sit Saturday against San Francisco.

Urias started four consecutive games after returning from a hamstring injury last Saturday, but he's since been on the bench for two of the last three contests. He's gone just 2-for-18 at the plate since his return to action. Gunnar Henderson starts at the hot corner Saturday.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in an 8-4 victory over the Yankees on Friday.

Los Angeles put up six first-inning runs against Luis Severino, with Muncy's shot to left-center field accounting for two of them. The third baseman began the week dealing with a mild hamstring issue, but it cost him only one game doesn't appear to be affecting his production, as he's driven in at least one run in each of the three contests since his return. Muncy is tied for second in the league with 18 homers this season, and three of those have come in his past five games.

Machado went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Friday's loss to the Cubs.

Machado returned from a stint on the 10-day IL due to a left hand fracture, but he wasn't able to snap what is now a personal five-game hitless streak. The star third baseman has so far struggled to get going this season, as he's slashing just .225/.276/.363. Though the campaign is still relatively young, each part of that line would be a career-low mark for Machado, and he's also striking out a career-worst 21.3 percent of the time through 174 plate appearances.

Burger will remain on the bench for Saturday's game against Detroit.

Burger has hit an impressive .268/.312/.598 on the season, homering 11 times in 41 games. That earned him 14 consecutive starts in mid-to-late May, but he's now been on the bench for three straight games. His .521 OPS over his last 12 contests may have something to do with his downtick in playing time, though it's not as if Gavin Sheets' .613 OPS in his last 12 games is much better.
