Leyba will sit Tuesday against the Rays, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Leyba was in the starting lineup for nine straight games from June 27 through July 7, appearing against both righties and lefties, but it looks as though he's since slipped into a platoon role. Since that run ended, he's started against all four righties the Orioles have faced while sitting against all three lefties, including Tuesday's starter Shane McClanahan. Pat Valaika starts at second base in his absence.

Leyba isn't starting Monday's game against the Rays, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Leyba had started each of the last two games and went 1-for-7 with a double, a run, an RBI and a strikeout during that time. Pat Valaika will start at second base and bat eighth.

Leyba will start at second base and bat sixth Sunday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Since being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on June 27, Leyba has seemingly usurped Pat Valaika as manager Brandon Hyde's preferred option at the keystone. Leyba will pick up his fourth start in five games Sunday, but he'll likely need to improve his production at the plate to ensure he sticks atop the depth chart. He's slashing an unimpressive .209/.292/.279 in 43 at-bats since his call-up.

Leyba went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI and a walk in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Leyba was one of Baltimore's most effective hitters in Saturday's loss. He delivered RBI singles in the fourth and sixth innings to account for the team's first two runs. The infielder has piled up a home run, three RBI and five runs scored in 11 games since he was called up from Triple-A Norfolk. He'll likely continue to be in the mix for playing time at second and third in competition with Pat Valaika and Kelvin Gutierrez.

Leyba is out of the lineup Friday against the White Sox, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Leyba went 4-for-16 with a homer, three walks and four total runs while starting at third base over the past five games with Maikel Franco (ankle) sidelined. Kelvin Gutierrez will take over at the hot corner Friday.

Leyba went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Leyba took Angels starter Griffin Canning deep in the second inning for the former's first major-league home run. The 25-year-old infielder has hit safely in four of his five games with Baltimore. While he started Friday at third base to cover for Maikel Franco (ankle), Leyba's best path to playing time remains as part of a timeshare with Pat Valaika at the keystone.

Leyba was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Leyba's promotion comes in the midst of a flurry of roster moves, as Ryan McKenna and Ramon Urias also received the call from Norfolk while Freddy Galvis (quad) was placed on the IL. Leyba did not record a hit in 22 at-bats with Arizona earlier this year before being DFA'd and claimed by Baltimore in early June. He'll man second base and bat sixth during the series finale against Toronto.

Leyba was claimed off waivers by the Orioles on Friday and optioned to Triple-A Norfolk, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Leyba will get to remain on a 40-man roster after getting designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. While he won't get a big-league opportunity right away, Leyba could get the chance to carve out a role at second base in Baltimore, as the team lacks an established option at the position. Leyba owns a very poor .149/.241/.234 slash line through his first 54 major-league plate appearances, however, so it's far from guaranteed that he'll get meaningful at-bats for his new team.

Leyba was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Leyba appeared in 13 games during his stint on the major-league roster, but he failed to record a hit and struck out seven times in 22 at-bats. His removal from the 40-man roster will clear space for Ildemaro Vargas, who was acquired by Arizona in a corresponding move.

Leyba started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Leyba recently had his contract selected from Triple-A Reno after the Diamondbacks placed Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) on the injured list. Leyba mashed for the Aces, hitting four home runs while positing a 1.400 OPS in 37 plate appearances, but he's still looking for his first hit since joining Arizona. He'll primarily back up at second base, third base and shortstop, behind Josh Rojas, Eduardo Escobar and Nick Ahmed while he's in the majors.
