The Blue Jays placed Urias on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a strained right quadriceps.

Urias was injured in Thursday's loss to the Cubs and will now spend at least the next 10 days out of the lineup. Davis Schneider could get more playing time at second base against left-handed pitching while Urias is sidelined. The veteran infielder is slashing .250/.322/.481 with three homers, eight RBI, five runs scored and a 6:10 BB:K across 59 plate appearances with Toronto this season.

Meidroth went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs and four total RBI in Thursday's 12-11 extra-innings loss to the Red Sox.

Meidroth opened the scoring in the third inning with a two-run shot off Ranger Suarez before putting Chicago ahead 9-7 in the 10th inning with another two-run blast, this time off Aroldis Chapman. Meidroth had gone seven games without a homer prior to Thursday, going just 4-for-21 (.190) in that span. Overall, the second baseman is slashing .275/.352/.405 this season with 11 homers, 67 runs scored, 44 RBI and two steals across 465 plate appearances.

Bazzana went 0-for-2 with a walk before being replaced by a pinch hitter during the sixth inning of Thursday's 13-6 loss to the Mets.

Bazzana, who returned to the leadoff spot Thursday with Steven Kwan getting a day off, was removed for pinch hitter Jo Adell in the sixth inning. The game was still in doubt -- New York held a 6-5 lead at the time -- so it wasn't case of emptying the bench in a blowout. Guardians manager Stephen Vogt may have made the move because a lefty reliever entered the game, but the manager hasn't made a habit of pinch hitting for Bazzana against lefties. The rookie has a .188/.299/.238 slash line over 117 plate appearances against southpaws.

Urias was removed from Thursday's game against the Cubs due to right quad discomfort, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Urias injured himself while legging out a double in the fourth inning. He remained on the base paths for the rest of the frame but was pulled once Toronto went on defense in the next half-inning. He's scheduled to undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the severity of his injury and can be considered day-to-day in the meantime.

Urias was pulled from Thursday's game against the Cubs in the fourth inning due to an apparent injury to his lower half, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Urias tweaked something while legging out a double in the top of the fourth inning. He initially stayed in to run the bases but did not return to the field for the bottom of the frame. The Blue Jays should offer an update on Urias' status shortly.

Foscue went 1-for-2 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-0 win over San Francisco.

Foscue played a role in Texas' four-run third inning, connecting for the first triple of his career, which drove in two runs. He also scored in that inning. He served as the designated hitter with a left-hander on the bump for the Giants, and as has often been the case for the right-handed-batting Foscue, he was removed for a pinch hitter when a right-handed reliever entered the contest.

Altuve went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays.

Altuve opened the scoring in the third inning with a 401-foot blast off Jameson Taillon, his 13th homer of the season and his first extra-base hit in 14 games. While Altuve hasn't mustered much power, Wednesday's performance did mark his fourth straight multi-hit game -- he's gone 9-for-18 with four RBI in that span. Overall, Altuve is slashing .244/.305/.398 across 391 plate appearances this year with 54 runs scored, 34 RBI and a pair of stolen bases.

Clement went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Astros.

The All-Star second baseman took Bennett Sousa deep in the top of the 10th inning to break a 3-3 tie. It was Clement's first long ball since the All-Star break, snapping an 18-game drought, and on the season he's produced a .285/.310/.415 slash line with nine homers, four steals, 38 RBI and 48 runs in 112 contests.

Keaschall is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Keaschall will get the evening off after he made starts in each of the Twins' last eight games while going 8-for-27 (.296 average) with two home runs and four RBI. Minnesota will roll out a starting outfield of Trevor Larnach, Kody Clemens and Austin Martin from left to right.

Seigler is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Seigler looked as though he would settle back into a regular role at second base after Curtis Mead fractured his wrist in his team debut July 27, but the Red Sox have instead prioritized Nick Sogard ahead of him. Sogard will make a third consecutive start at the keystone Wednesday, with Seigler having been left out of the lineup for each of those contests. Seigler hasn't helped his case for playing time by going just 1-for-20 at the plate over his last eight contests.
