Clubs third homer Toro went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 win over Cleveland.

Impact His fourth-inning blast off Eli Morgan wound up being the game's winning run, giving the Astros a 3-0 lead at the time. Toro has more than held his own since stepping in for Alex Bregman (quadriceps) in mid-June, slashing .292/.375/.479 through 14 games with three homers and 15 RBI, but with Bregman potentially set to return to action soon after the All-Star break, Toro's window for regular at-bats may not remain open much longer.

Drives in three Toro went 1-for-3 with three RBI in Tuesday's 13-3 loss to the Orioles.

Impact Toro delivered runs with a sacrifice fly in the second inning and a two-run single in the fifth, which tied the game at that time. He continues to be the primary fill-in at third base for Alex Bregman (quadriceps), who reported good news from an ultrasound Tuesday. Houston's starting third baseman said the procedure revealed he's ahead of schedule in his return timeline. The initial timeline had Bregman returning by the end of July.

Enjoys big day at plate Toro went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in a 13-0 victory versus Baltimore on Wednesday.

Impact When Toro came up to the plate in the seventh inning, Houston was already ahead by eight runs. He padded that lead with a 417-foot three-run homer, then capped the scoring on the night with an RBI single in the eighth. Toro has hit safely in all but one game since being recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on June 17, going 10-for-24 with two homers and nine RBI over that span.

Knocks four hits Toro went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

Impact Toro is making the most of the uptick in playing time with both Alex Bregman (quadriceps) and Aledmys Diaz (hand) on the injured list, and he went 7-for-11 with a home run, five RBI and three runs scored during the weekend series against the White Sox. That might be enough to keep him as the primary third baseman while Bregman is sidelined, though he might also miss some at-bats to Robel Garcia from time to time.

JUNE 19, 2021 • MLB.COM

Goes off in win Toro went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, a second run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

Impact Toro stepped in at third base for Alex Bregman (quadriceps), who was placed on the injured list Thursday. On Wednesday, the day of Bregman's injury, Houston manager Dusty Baker suggested the third baseman could miss significant time. Normally, this would be a spot for Aledmys Diaz, but he's on the injured list with a hand injury and not expected until after the All-Star break. That means at-bats become available for Toro and Robel Garcia. Since Garcia has more position flexibility, Baker might be inclined to keep him on the bench for late-game maneuvering and go with Toro as the primary fill-in for Bregman. He's hit well when given consistent playing time in the minors but has been unable to transition to a limited role in the majors the last three seasons.
