Bride (shoulder) went 3-for-12 with two walks and two runs in three games for Single-A Stockton against Fresno over the weekend.

Bride has now appeared in seven rehab games overall and played a full nine innings at third base in two of the three weekend contests with the Ports, seemingly indicating he'd be ready for activation. Given he's been eligible to come off the IL since earlier in July, it's certainly possible Bride is reinstated to the active roster ahead of Monday night's series opener against the Astros.

Henderson has hit .268/.386/.496 with six home runs, three steals and a 22:38 BB:K in 35 games since being promoted to Triple-A Norfolk.

He's been unable to sustain his tremendous plate-discipline numbers from Double-A, where Henderson put up a spectacular 41:38 BB:K through 47 games to open 2022. His strikeout rate has spiked by 6.5 percent (to 24.8) and his walk rate has dipped by 5.9 percent (to 14.8) since his promotion, but those are still acceptable figures for a 21-year-old on the doorstep of the majors. Henderson opened his time with Norfolk by putting up a 1.077 OPS with five home runs through his first 19 games, then went 4-for-33 with 15 strikeouts over his next nine games before recovering more recently, putting together a seven-game hitting streak that includes a homer Sunday -- his first since June 28. If he can get a little more consistent, a second-half call-up could very well be in the cards.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-4 victory over the Red Sox.

Chapman scored on a Raimel Tapia triple in the first inning, then again on a Danny Jansen groundout in the fifth. He also picked up two hits in the game, his fourth multi-hit performance in his last six games. Chapman has gone 11-for-24 during that stretch, raising his batting average from .226 to .237. The third baseman is batting .288 in July after batting .223 from April through June.

Machado went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Mets.

Machado picked up his first multi-hit effort since July 14, which included an RBI double that sparked a three-run rally in the ninth inning. He's up to 20 two-baggers this season, reaching that mark for the seventh time in the last eight years -- the 60-game 2020 season being the lone exception. The third baseman is slashing .303/.376/.517 with 16 home runs, 54 RBI, 58 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 86 contests as a steady presence in the heart of the Padres' order.

Toro went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Astros.

Toro entered the game when outfielder Jesse Winker (ankle) exited the contest following a collision on the field. Toro was part of the Mariners' two bursts of offense in the seventh and eighth innings, including a homer in his second plate appearance of the day. The 25-year-old infielder has seen limited playing time lately -- his last start was last Saturday. He owns an uninspiring .179/.242/.329 slash line with eight homers, 24 RBI, 29 runs scored and a stolen base in 76 contests. Even if Winker has to miss extra time, his absence will likely be covered by Adam Frazier and Dylan Moore.

Miranda went 3-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored and a hit-by-pitch in a 9-1 win Sunday in Detroit.

Miranda drove in a run after being beaned in the first, singled and scored in both the seventh and eighth innings and drove in a run with a single in the ninth. It was the rookie's third three-hit game of the season. After struggling in his first month in the big leagues, the 24-year-old has produced a .322/.370/.534 line with six homers in 127 plate appearances dating back to June 3. All three of his hits came against right-handed pitchers, albeit the last one coming off a position player, raising his average to .252 against righties.

Escobar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Escobar is 0-for-8 with three strikeouts in the first two games out of the All-Star break, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Luis Guillorme will man the hot corner and bat eighth for New York.

Longoria (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

The veteran third baseman sustained the hamstring strain during Saturday's contest and will be out for at least the next 10 days. According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Longoria doesn't expect to face a lengthy absence, and more clarity about his return timeline should come after undergoing an MRI on Monday.

Urias went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a double in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Yankees.

Urias has hit safely in 11 of his last 13 games, surging to a .413/.438/.739 slash line in that span. He provided some insurance Saturday with a two-run blast in the eighth inning to extend the Orioles' lead to three. The infielder has a career-high 10 homers with 34 RBI, 32 runs scored, 13 doubles and a .264/.308/.459 slash line in 238 plate appearances. His recent surge has earned him a near-everyday role since he returned from an oblique injury in early July.

Asudillo had his contract selected by the Marlins and will start at third base and bat eighth Sunday against the Pirates, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 30-year-old was designated for assignment and outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville by Miami in late June, but he'll rejoin the big-league club Sunday with Brian Anderson (shoulder) headed to the injured list. Astudillo has a .270/.289/.351 slash line with one home run, four RBI and five runs in 17 games this year for the Marlins.
