    Twins' Jose Miranda: Ties major-league record in win

    Miranda went 2-for-3 with an RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Astros. He tied a major-league record in the fourth inning by recording a hit in his 12th consecutive at-bat.

    It's safe to say Miranda has been on fire, registering his third consecutive multi-hit effort and extending his overall hit streak to 10 games. He has enjoyed a major bounce-back campaign in 2024, slashing .328/.370/.531 with nine home runs, 43 RBI and 35 runs scored over 262 plate appearances.

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Hits first career homer in win

    Lee went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Astros.

    Lee took Hunter Brown deep in the third inning for his first career major-league home run. The 23-year-old has hit the ground running with the Twins, going 7-for-15 with a home run and six RBI over his first four games. While it's unclear exactly how much time Royce Lewis (groin) will miss, the rookie has made the most of his time in the big leagues so far.

  • Rafael Devers 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Homer, steal in loss

    Devers went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in a 14-4 loss to the Yankees on Saturday.

    Devers hit an RBI single in the third inning before stealing second and coming around to score later in the frame. He then chased Gerrit Cole in the fifth with his 26th career home run against the Yankees. The steal was just his second of the season, but the 27-year-old has slashed a fantastic .287/.373/.570 with 19 home runs, 53 RBI and 54 runs scored over 332 plate appearances.

  • Addison Barger 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Back in minors

    The Blue Jays optioned Barger to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

    With Justin Turner returning from the paternity list Saturday, Barger will end up as the odd man out of Toronto's 26-man roster. After rejoining the big-league squad in June, the 24-year-old outfielder slashed just .190/.227/.238 with four RBI in 44 plate appearances.

  • Josh H. Smith 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Smith: Out again Saturday

    Smith (glute) isn't in the Rangers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

    Smith missed four games in June due to glute tightness, and he'll be missing his second consecutive game Saturday due to the same injury. Jonathan Ornelas will pick up another start at third base and bat ninth while Smith continues to recover.

  • Miguel Sano 3B | LAA

    Angels' Miguel Sano: Resting Saturday

    Sano isn't in the Angels' lineup for Saturday's game versus the Cubs.

    Sano has been held hitless in 13 at-bats over his last four games, so he'll get a day off to regroup against Kyle Hendricks and the Cubs. His absence will allow Luis Guillorme to pick up a start at the hot corner while batting eighth.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | HOU

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Slugs 10th homer

    Bregman went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and two walks in Friday's win at Minnesota.

    The veteran third baseman cracked a 404-foot, three-run blast off Kody Funderburk in the ninth inning for his first long ball since June 3. This marks the seventh season Bregman has reached double-digit homers in his nine-year career. Despite the recent power outage, the Houston third baseman has still been hitting well over his last 25 games, batting .295 (31-for-105) with 18 runs scored and 11 RBI.

  • Jose Miranda 3B | MIN

    Twins' Jose Miranda: Sets franchise record in loss

    Miranda went 4-for-4 with a homer, a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 13-12 loss to the Astros.

    Miranda came a triple shy of the cycle and set a Twins franchise record in the seventh inning by tallying his 10th consecutive plate appearance with a hit. The 26-year-old launched a 414-foot solo shot off Shawn Dubin earlier in the game for his ninth homer of the season. Miranda now sports a nine-game hit streak over which he's batted an absurd .559 (19-for-34) with seven extra base hits, 12 RBI and 11 runs scored.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Starting rehab assignment soon

    Moncada (adductor) will begin a rehab assignment with the White Sox's Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday and could rejoin the MLB club by the end of July, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Moncada will exclusively DH to start out his minor-league rehab stint, which will serve as his first in-game action since he suffered an adductor strain in early April. The veteran third baseman still has multiple checkpoints to clear before being reinstated, but he could be back before the calendar flips to August.

  • Josh H. Smith 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Smith: Dealing with glute tightness

    Smith is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rays due to glute tightness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    It's the same injury that kept Smith off the field for four games in June, and the hope this time around is that the injury will keep him out of the lineup for just one or two games. Since June 1, the 26-year-old infielder is slashing .319/.407/.511 with four home runs, 12 RBI and an .918 OPS over 94 at-bats.
