The Athletics designated Toro for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old was acquired from the Brewers during the offseason but has now lost his place on the Athletics' 26-man and 40-man rosters. Toro has played in 94 games and posted a .240/.293/.350 slash line with six homers, four stolen bases, 26 RBI and 34 runs.

Toro is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

He appears to have lost hold of a regular spot at third base to rookie Darell Hernaiz. Toro finds himself on the bench Thursday for the fourth time in five games, with the last two absences coming against left-handed pitchers and the first two coming versus righties. The Athletics will return everyday designated hitter Brent Rooker (personal) from the paternity list later this weekend, so Toro's outlook for playing time will likely only worsen in the coming days.

Toro is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Mets, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the fourth time in five games, Darell Hernaiz has drawn the start at third base over Toro, though Toro did pick up a start at first base during that stretch. Since coming off the injured list last month, Toro is slashing just .151/.224/.189 over 16 games.

Toro is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Toro hasn't logged a multi-hit game since July 23, going 6-for-45 (.133) during that stretch. He'll yield to Darell Hernaiz at third base for the second time in three games.

Toro isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game versus Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Toro will get a breather Saturday after going 0-for-4 during a loss in Friday's series opener. Darell Hernaiz will step in as Oakland's third baseman and bat seventh.

Toro is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

After starting four consecutive games, Toro will take a seat Monday against rookie starter Ky Bush and the White Sox. Darell Hernaiz will fill the hot corner and bat eighth.

Toro isn't in the Athletics' lineup versus the Giants on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Toro has an OPS of .432 since his return from a hamstring injury. As he continues to try and return to form, he will take a breather Tuesday. Brett Harris has the start at third base and is batting eighth.

Toro isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The switch-hitting Toro boasts a .783 OPS in 73 plate appearances against left-handers this season, but he will take a seat Thursday with southpaw Kenny Rosenberg on the mound. While Toro rests, Brett Harris will field the hot corner and bat eighth.

Toro went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a stolen base in a win over the Astros on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Athletics' lineup is suddenly an unlikely juggernaut; Oakland belted another five home runs Tuesday. While Toro's line stood in stark contrast since it only consisted of a pair of singles, it was still noteworthy considering those were his first hits at the big-league level since June 21 due to his month-long IL stint because of a hamstring injury. Toro's steal was his fourth of the season overall, and the fact he had the green light confirms his hamstring is back to full health.

Toro is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Toro, who was activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday, went 0-for-4 in his first game since June 21 due to a strained hamstring. The team will likely bring the third baseman back slowly as he works his way back up to game speed, and he'll begin Monday's contest in the dugout. Brett Harris will start at the hot corner and bat eighth against Houston right-hander Spencer Arrighetti.
