Javier Sanoja 3B | MIA
Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Logs three hits, two thefts in win
Sanoja went 3-for-4 with a run, an RBI and two stolen bases in a 5-1 win over the Cardinals on Saturday.
Sanoja took advantage of just his third start over Miami's past seven games by rapping three singles from the No. 8 spot in the batting order. The speedy utility man capitalized while he was on the basepaths with a steal in each of the fourth and ninth innings. Sanoja appears to be sharing starts at third base with Graham Pauley and Leo Jimenez, though the recent demotion of Connor Norby to the minors could lead to Sanoja seeing a bit more playing time.

Kyle Karros 3B | COL
Rockies' Kyle Karros: Slugs fifth homer
Karros went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Twins.
Karros had been out of the lineup against three of the last four righties Colorado faced, but he rejoined the lineup Saturday and hit eighth. He delivered on the opportunity by slugging a two-run homer in the eighth frame, his fifth of the season. Karros now has two long balls in his last six starts, though it's unclear whether that will be enough to help him regain playing time.

Blaze Jordan 3B | STL
Cardinals' Blaze Jordan: Taking seat Saturday
Jordan isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Miami.
Jordan will get a breather Saturday after starting 13 straight games and slashing .267/.280/.444 across 50 plate appearances to begin his MLB career. Bryan Torres will start at third base and bat seventh in Jordan's absence.

Graham Pauley 3B | MIA
Marlins' Graham Pauley: Makes impact in return to majors
Pauley went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the Cardinals.
Called back up from Triple-A Jacksonville earlier in the day, Pauley was immediately inserted into the starting nine at third base and hit ninth in the order. Prior to his promotion, the 25-year-old had a .259/.343/.500 slash line over his last 16 games for the Jumbo Shrimp with two homers and three steals, and Pauley has a clear path to claiming the full-time job at the hot corner with Connor Norby demoted to Triple-A and Javier Sanoja better suited for a utility role.

Javier Sanoja 3B | MIA
Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Loses grip on starting job
Sanoja is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in St. Louis.
Sanoja leads the Marlins with 36 starts at third base this season, but this is his second straight game out of the lineup and his fourth absence over the last five games versus righties. Graham Pauley was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville and is getting the call at the hot corner Friday.

Graham Pauley 3B | MIA
Marlins' Graham Pauley: Recalled from Triple-A
The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.
Pauley sports just a .165/.211/.271 batting line across 33 games during his time with the Marlins this season. Miami has received very little offensively from third base, so Pauley could get another chance there, but there's no guarantee he'll play regularly.

Luis Rengifo 3B | SD
Padres' Luis Rengifo: Gets MiLB deal from Padres
The Padres signed Rengifo to a minor-league contract Friday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Rengifo was officially released by the Brewers earlier this week after slashing only .205/.280/.254 with no home runs across 57 contests. The utility player is hitting just .229/.285/.313 in the majors since the beginning of the 2025 season, but he offers plenty of versatility and could get another chance with the big club sooner rather than later.
