    Tigers' Andre Lipcius: Recalled from Triple-A

    Lipcius has slashed .272/.363/.419 with 11 home runs in 97 games this season with Toledo. The 25-year-old can play all over the infield and can also handle left field in a pinch. He'll be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.

    Tigers' Andre Lipcius: Set for callup

    The Tigers will recall Lipcius on Friday.

    Lipcius was impressive during spring training, posting a .909 OPS with three home runs across 41 at-bats. He's gone on to post a respectable season with Triple-A Toledo by maintaining a .272/.363/.412 line across 416 plate appearances, though that's translated to just a 96 wRC+. It's unclear what his role may be in Detroit, as both Matt Vierling and Zack Short are likely ahead of him on the third base depth chart.

  • Oswald Peraza 3B | LAA

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Not in lineup Thursday

    Peraza is out of the lineup for Thursday's contest in Detroit, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

    Peraza has taken over as the Yankees' regular third baseman since being promoted from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last week, but he'll begin the series finale in Detroit on the bench. Oswaldo Cabrera will occupy the hot corner as the Yankees go for the series sweep.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Continues power surge

    LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a 6-2 victory over the Tigers on Wednesday.

    LeMahieu belted a 411-foot solo shot in the second inning to give New York a 3-0 lead. It was the continuation of a surprising recent uptick in power by the veteran infielder, who has gone deep five times (all solo shots) over his past eight contests. Prior to the surge, LeMahieu had hit just eight homers over his initial 104 games this season.

  • Jonah Bride 3B | TEX

    Athletics' Jonah Bride: Sitting again in favor of Diaz

    Bride remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Though he seemed to have supplanted Jordan Diaz as the Athletics' primary third baseman last week, Bride now finds himself on the bench for the fourth consecutive game. While starting each of the five games before that, Bride went 3-for-15 with a double and a pair of walks, so he didn't exactly stake a strong claim to a regular spot in the Oakland lineup.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Angels' Mike Moustakas: On bench Wednesday

    Moustakas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    With lefty Cristopher Sanchez taking the hill for the Phillies, the lefty-hitting Moustakas will retreat to the bench. Eduardo Escobar will step in as the hot corner in place of Moustakas.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Homers in third straight

    Lewis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Guardians.

    Lewis got the Twins on the board Tuesday with a solo blast off Hunter Gaddis in the fourth inning, cutting the deficit to 3-1. It's Lewis' third straight game with a homer and his fifth long ball in his last seven contests. Since returning from the IL on Aug. 15, the 24-year-old infielder's batting .294 (15-for-51) with a 1.026 OPS.

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Gets Wednesday off

    He'll give way at third base to Elvis Andrus in the series finale. Moncada started in each of the last six games, going 9-for-21 with a home run, three doubles, two walks, six RBI and three runs.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Rays' Isaac Paredes: Homers again

    Paredes went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's win over Miami.

    Paredes tied the game at 2-2 in the sixth inning with an RBI single and later put the finishing touches on Tampa Bay's 11-2 victory with a ninth-inning, three-run blast. The 24-year-old infielder now owns a modest eight-game hitting streak, going 13-for-35 with four home runs, 12 RBI, nine runs and an impressive 1.192 OPS during that stretch.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Homers in win

Bregman's slash line is up to .265/.365/.447 with 89 RBI and 85 runs scored across 597 plate appearances on the campaign.
