  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Three hits Wednesday

    Devers went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored, a stolen base and a strikeout in Wednesday's win over the Angels.

    Devers delivered the game-winning hit in the seventh inning, driving in a run on a double to put Boston back in front after blowing a six-run lead. He's tallied five multi-hit games over the past 11 contests, and the 21-year-old has also been more aggressive on the basepaths of late. The steal was just his fifth of the year (in six tries) but fourth in the past three weeks.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Blasts walkoff shot Wednesday

    Bregman 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Blue Jays.

    He saved the best for last, launching a walkoff two-run homer off Jays closer Ryan Tepera in the bottom of the ninth inning. Bregman is absolutely locked in right now, going yard in three straight games to give him 14 home runs on the year, and he's hitting .309 (30-for-97) through 23 games in June with nine homers, 22 runs and 26 RBI.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Royals' Mike Moustakas: Clubs 15th homer Wednesday

    Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Brewers.

    He went yard to lead off the seventh inning, kicking off a four-run rally that broke open a 1-1 tie. Moustakas has endured a brutal June, hitting .190 (16-for-84) on the month, but he now has 15 homers on the year and is still on pace for his second straight 30-homer campaign.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Four extra-base hits

    Bregman went 4-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, two runs and three doubles in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

    Bregman recorded doubles in the third, fifth and seventh innings, giving him a total of 25 on the season. He then hit a two-run homer -- his 13th of the year -- in the eighth inning, bringing him to a season-best 10 total bases in one game. Bregman's 39 extra-base hits trail only Jose Ramirez (44) among MLB third basemen, and the 24-year-old's .866 OPS is good for fifth at the position.

  • Danny Valencia 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Danny Valencia: Clubs home run No. 7

    Valencia was 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Seattle.

    Valencia gave the Orioles an early lead with the second-inning home run, but was caught stealing and picked off his other two times on the basepaths. The 33-year-old has been a relative bright spot of the Baltimore offense in 2018, with a .287/.354/.467 slash line in 189 plate appearances.

  • Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Gathers two hits Tuesday

    Candelario went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics.

    Candelario needed some positive vibes at the plate, as he entered the contest in a 2-for-20 slump, which included four straight hitless efforts. The 24-year-old's average has dipped to .243, though he still has a solid .808 OPS and should continue to get regular playing time in a Detroit lineup that doesn't have a ton of offensive weapons.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Another three-hit game

    Segura went 3-for-4 with a run scored and was caught stealing during Tuesday's 3-2 win over in Baltimore.

    Segura put forth yet another multi-hit effort Tuesday, his major-league leading 33rd such performance this season. The 28-year-old has a .337/.364/.479 slash line with six home runs, 53 runs, 44 RBI and 14 stolen bases in 303 at-bats in 2018.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Athletics' Matt Chapman: Will attempt to hit Thursday

    Chapman received a cortisone shot in his hand and will attempt to hit Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chroniclereports.

    Chapman's status essentially remains as-is for now, and the next step in his recovery will be determined based on how much he is able to do Thursday. It remains to be seen if he will need a rehab assignment before rejoining the A's.

  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Blue Jays' Josh Donaldson: Suffers setback in recovery

    Donaldson suffered a setback with his injured left calf and will be reevaluated in three weeks, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Donaldson had a shot to rejoin the Blue Jays before the end of June, but he aggravated his calf injury while taking groundballs at the Blue Jays' spring training complex, and will now likely be out at least another month. The Blue Jays figure to provide more details on Donaldson's status in the near future.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Blue Jays' Gio Urshela: Designated for assignment

    Urshela was designated for assignment Tuesday.

    Urshela didn't do much in his time with the Blue Jays, hitting .233/.283/.326 in 46 plate appearances. Those numbers are in line with his career stats, making him not particularly appealing on the waiver wire.
