  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Swats 15th homer

    Chapman went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.

    Chapman got the scoring started with a solo blast off Ryan Feltner in the second inning. Chapman added two more hits, reaching three times in a game for the fifth time this season. The third baseman has now gone deep twice since the All-Star break, and he's driven in 46 runs with a .753 OPS and a career-high 11 stolen bases this season.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Lifted with bruised ankle

    Bohm was removed from Saturday's game against the Guardians in the seventh inning due to a left ankle contusion, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    It's unclear how Bohm suffered the injury but it was bothering him enough to prompt the Phillies to put Edmundo Sosa at third base to start the seventh frame. The 27-year-old went 1-for-2 with a walk before exiting. He should be considered day-to-day.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Sitting Game 1

    McMahon is out of the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants.

    With southpaw Blake Snell on the mound for the Giants in Game 1, the lefty-hitting McMahon will head to the bench. Aaron Schunk will bat ninth and play third base during the matinee, though McMahon should be back in the lineup for the nightcap against right-hander Hayden Birdsong.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Smacks homer Friday

    Arenado went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 10-8 extra-inning loss to the Nationals.

    Arenado has gone just 5-for-25 (.200) since the All-Star break, but three of those hits have been homers. He's also added four walks in that seven-game span. The third baseman is up to 11 homers, 45 RBI, 41 runs scored, one stolen base, 14 doubles and a .266/.322/.393 slash line through 97 contests, and it looks like his power is trending in the right direction.

  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Strong month continues

    Vientos went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Friday's win over Atlanta.

    The third baseman slugged a two-run homer off Charlie Morton in the third inning, one of three Mets long balls in the frame. Vientos has put together an impressive July, slashing .293/.341/.520 over 20 games with five doubles, four homers and 13 RBI as he solidifies his hold on the starting job at the hot corner.

  • Jake Burger 3B | TEX

    Marlins' Jake Burger: Swats 13th homer

    Burger went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Brewers.

    The slugger took Freddy Peralta deep in the first inning, helping the Marlins jump out to a 3-0 lead they never relinquished. Burger entered July with a disappointing ,601 OPS, but his bat has heated up with the weather -- in 19 games this month he's slashing .278/.333/.569 with six of his 13 homers on the season.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Delivers two runs

    Candelario went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Tampa Bay.

    Candelario wouldn't let two first-inning walks go to waste, as he plated both runners on a two-out double, giving the Reds an early lead. He's been most productive this season when Cincinnati has two outs, posting a .959 OPS with 11 home runs in those situations. Candelario is second on the club in home runs (16) and RBI (49).

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Logs two more hits

    Suarez went 2-for-4 in Friday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

    Suarez logged a sixth multi-hit effort in July and is batting .310/.375/.634 for the month with six home runs, five doubles, 19 RBI and 12 runs scored over 20 contests. The talk earlier in the season of Suarez losing playing time due to a season-long slump has died down for now.

  • Cubs' Christopher Morel: Sitting down Friday

    Morel isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Friday's game against the Royals.

    Morel will get a day to clear his head Friday after going 0-for-6 with four strikeouts during Chicago's previous series against the Brewers. Miles Mastrobuoni will start at the hot corner instead while batting seventh.

  • Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Records three hits Thursday

    Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Thursday's 6-4 win against the Giants.

    Hernandez opened the scoring in the contest with a second-inning RBI single and added a run-scoring double in the fourth. The utility man has hit safely in four of his past six games and is slashing .318/.318/.545 with a home run, four RBI and four runs over that span. With the Dodgers' infield decimated by injuries to Mookie Betts (hand), Max Muncy (oblique), Miguel Rojas (forearm) and Chris Taylor (groin), Hernandez has had an opportunity to play nearly every day. He's started at shortstop or third base in each of Los Angeles' past five contests.
