  • Twins' Ryan Fitzgerald: Heads back to Triple-A

    The Twins optioned Fitzgerald to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    The Twins haven't yet announced a corresponding move, which could point to Carlos Correa (concussion) returning from the 7-day injured list when first eligible Friday. Fitzgerald went hitless in three plate appearances this week in his first stint in the big leagues.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Resting Wednesday

    Moncada isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Moncada will get a breather after going 2-for-5 with a three-run homer during Tuesday's victory. While he sits, Luis Rengifo will fill in at third base with Tim Anderson at the keystone.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Two more homers in loss

    Paredes went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three total RBI in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Rays.

    Paredes opened the scoring in the first inning with a two-run homer off Taj Bradley before adding a solo shot off Edwin Uceta in the eighth. It's the first multi-homer game of the year for Paredes, who now has six long balls in his last nine contests. Paredes has boosted his slash line to .270/.378/.483 through 209 plate appearances this season with 10 homers, 28 RBI and 25 runs scored.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | HOU

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Hitting bench Wednesday

    Urias is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

    Though he still looks to be the Orioles' preferred option at third base while Jordan Westburg (hamstring) remains on the shelf, Urias will give way to Emmanuel Rivera at the hot corner Wednesday after starting in the first two games of the series in Milwaukee. Since being activated from the 10-day injured list a week ago, Urias has gone 3-for-17 with a double, three walks, four runs and three RBI in five games.

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Swipes rare bag Tuesday

    Barger went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

    Starting at third base and batting seventh, Barger swiped his first bag of the year and only his third in 95 career big-league contests. The 25-year-old has never recorded more than nine steals in a season, even in the minors, but he's provided plenty of value of late with his bat. Over the last 12 games, Barger is slashing .317/.364/.561 with four doubles, two homers, six runs and seven RBI.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Taking seat Wednesday

    Caminero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Astros.

    Caminero appears to be getting a routine day off after going just 1-for-16 at the plate across his last four games. Curtis Mead will replace Caminero at third base and will bat eighth in the series finale.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Homer binge continues

    Paredes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Tuesday against the Rays.

    Paredes continued his power binge Tuesday, slugging his fourth home run in his last eight starts. He now has eight home runs on the season with a .184 ISO. Paredes also has a 14.1 percent walk rate and an impressive .824 OPS across 205 plate appearances.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Delivers game-tying homer

    Moncada went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.

    Moncada provided a quick response to the Athletics' three-run fourth inning, countering with a three-run shot in the fifth to tie the game at 4-4. The third baseman has hit fairly well since returning from a sprained right thumb May 6, going 12-for-49 (.245) with four homers and 13 RBI over his last 13 games. He's at a .229/.349/.486 slash line through 83 plate appearances on the year.

  • Matthew Lugo SS | LAA

    Angels' Matthew Lugo: On bench Tuesday

    Lugo isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.

    Prior to Tuesday, Lugo had started in five consecutive games. In that stretch, he went 6-for-19 with a home run and two RBI. However, he struck out eight times and did not manage a walk in that span. While the rookie has been hitting the ball well, he will get some rest Tuesday with Kyren Paris starting in center field.

  • Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: Retreating to bench Monday

    Mastrobuoni is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

    Mastrobuoni had started in each of the last four games at three different positions (second base, third base and right field), but he went just 1-for-11 with four strikeouts during that stretch. He'll be back on the bench Monday and should continue to serve as a utility player for Seattle, with his ability to play multiple outfield and infield spots enabling him to make a handful of starts per week.
