  • Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU

    Astros' Luis Guillorme: Back with Houston

    The Astros re-signed Guillorme to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    The veteran infielder elected free agency earlier in the week after being outrighted by Houston, but he's back in the organization on a new deal. After being called up by the Astros in mid-June, Guillorme went 3-for-20 in 12 games before going down with a hamstring injury a few weeks later.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: In Wednesday's lineup

    Moncada (hand) will start at third base and bat sixth Wednesday against the Rangers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Moncada missed three consecutive starts after getting hit on his right hand by a pitch Saturday, though he entered Tuesday's game off the bench and went 1-for-2 with two RBI and a run scored. He'll now rejoin the starting nine for Wednesday's series finale and aim to turn things around after going 3-for-19 at the plate to begin the second half.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Heading to bench Wednesday

    Urias is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Urias will hit the bench for the final game of the series after he picked up starts in both halves of Tuesday's doubleheader. Though the Orioles should continue to make room for Urias in the lineup against left-handed pitching on a regular basis, he'll likely have to settle for more of a part-time role in the infield against righties now that Baltimore has all of its key position players available with the exception of Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring), who will likely return from the injured list next week.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: No longer starting Wednesday

    Bregman has been scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Minnesota, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Bregman is not injured; instead, manager Alex Cora has decided to give the third baseman two consecutive days of rest, taking into account Thursday's team off day. Abraham Toro will handle the hot corner and bat second Wednesday.

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Drives in four against Snakes

    McKinstry went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 12-2 rout of the Diamondbacks.

    The utility infielder smashed a two-run homer off Brandon Pfaadt in the fifth inning, one of three Detroit long balls in the frame. It was McKinstry's first multi-hit performance since July 9, ending a 12-game slump in which he's gone just 4-for-36 (.111). That downturn has put only a small dent in his career-best campaign, however, as the 30-year-old is still slashing .268/.349/.449 with nine homers, 16 steals, 36 RBI and 51 runs in 368 plate appearances.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Powers rout in Tuesday's matinee

    Urias went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in a 16-4 win over the Blue Jays in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

    The veteran infielder went yard in the sixth and seventh innings as the Orioles broke open what had been a tight game to that point. Urias followed up his performance in the matinee by going 1-for-4 with an RBI in the nightcap, a 3-2 victory that completed the sweep. Urias started at third base in both contests with Toronto sending lefties Easton Lucas and Eric Lauer to the mound, and he should remain effective in a short-side platoon role given his .278/.338/.403 slash line against southpaws this season. However, six of his eight homers on the year have come against righties, including both of Tuesday's blasts.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Could require hamstring surgery

    Paredes could require season-ending surgery to repair his injured right hamstring, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

    Paredes was placed on the 10-day injured list July 20 with a strained right hamstring, with Astros manager Joe Espada calling the injury "pretty significant." The third baseman is slated to receive a second opinion before making a decision on how to treat the injury, but surgery is evidently one of the possibilities. With Paredes' status for the rest of the season in doubt, Nightengale says the Astros are mulling trades for Carlos Correa, Nolan Arenado and Eugenio Suarez. Mauricio Dubon has been serving as the team's primary third baseman since Paredes went down.

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Makes impact in twin bill

    Barger went 3-for-8 with a double and a two-run home run across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader as the Blue Jays got swept by the Orioles.

    The 25-year-old did his best to try and earn his team at least a split, homering in the matinee off Charlie Morton before ripping a one-out double in the eighth inning of the nightcap with the score tied 2-2, only to get stranded. Barger is slashing .294/.321/.529 over 13 games since the All-Star break with seven extra-base hits (four doubles, one triple and two homers), seven runs and 10 RBI.

  • Brooks Lee SS | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Rips two homers

    Lee went 3-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's loss to Boston.

    Lee came off the bench for Carlos Correa (illness) and delivered an offensive outburst. Lee put the Twins on the board with an RBI single in the fifth inning before knocking a pair of two-run homers in the seventh and ninth frames. It was his first career multi-homer performance and snapped a 23-game homer drought. During that skid, he went 11-for-70 (.157). Lee's five-RBI day matched his total from the previous 17 games combined. He's now slashing .256/.294/.387 with 20 extra-base hits and 43 RBI through 326 plate appearances.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Sitting again Tuesday

    Moncada (hand) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Moncada will miss a third consecutive start Tuesday after taking a pitch off his right hand during Saturday's game against the Mariners. It's worth noting the Angels are slated to face left-hander Patrick Corbin on Tuesday, and Moncada doesn't typically start against southpaws, so there's still a chance the veteran third baseman will be available off the bench.
