Vientos went 1-for-3 with a two-RBI double in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Giants.

Vientos made his lone hit count Saturday, delivering a two-run double in the sixth inning that provided all the offense the Mets needed in their 2-1 win. It's been a rocky follow-up to his breakout 2024 campaign, but the third baseman is currently riding a six-game hitting streak and has doubled in back-to-back games. This season, he's slashing .226/.280/.358 with 20 extra-base hits and 27 RBI over 74 games. By comparison, through his first 74 regular-season games last year, Vientos had a .275/.333/.557 line with 36 extra-base hits (17 doubles, 19 homers) and 48 RBI.

Tena is expected to be called up from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Tena began the season on the big-league roster but was sent down to Rochester on June 15. In 44 games earlier this season with Washington, he slashed .248/.325/.365 with no homers, 13 RBI and two stolen bases. Tena played mostly at third base while in the majors but also logged action at second base in two games. He figures to give the Nationals some versatility in the infield after Amed Rosario was traded to the Yankees on Saturday.

Shaw went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.

Shaw's two-run homer in the seventh inning extended the Cubs' lead to three, and he brought home another run after drawing a bases-loaded walk in the eighth. Shaw has come out of the All-Star break with an eight-game hit streak, going 11-for-23 (.478) with four home runs, nine RBI and two steals over that span.

The Rockies selected Bernabel's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

The move was anticipated after Colorado traded long-time third baseman Ryan McMahon to the Yankees on Friday. Bernabel has put together a strong season with Albuquerque, slashing .301/.356/.450 with eight home runs, 45 RBI and five stolen bases over 75 games. He logged significant time at both third base and first base in the minors, but Bernabel will likely spend most of his time at the hot corner with the Rockies after McMahon's departure and could be given the opportunity to start on a frequent basis. Neither his power nor his speed are above average, so he'll likely need to hit for a high average to be an appealing fantasy asset.

Brujan went 3-for-4 in Friday's 12-5 loss to the White Sox.

Brujan set a new season high in hits, surpassing the two hits he compiled against this same White Sox club back on May 18. The 27-year-old, who started at third base Friday, isn't seeing a ton of playing time, and his role might be reduced further if the Cubs acquire a reinforcement for the hot corner before the trade deadline.

Vientos isn't in the starting lineup Friday versus San Francisco.

Vientos isn't starting for the first time in the campaign's second half. Since the All-Star break, he's logged starts at DH, third base and first base and has batted .238 over six games. With Vientos out of the lineup, Jeff McNeil is starting at designated hitter, while Ronny Mauricio is getting the nod at the hot corner.

Chapman (elbow) is starting at third base and batting out of the cleanup spot against the Mets on Friday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Chapman was lifted from Wednesday's game against Atlanta after being hit by a pitch in the left elbow. The good news for the Giants and the veteran third baseman is that X-rays came back negative, and he has been given the green light to play in Friday's series opener. Chapman has gone 7-for-22 (.318) with one triple, two home runs and seven RBI since the All-Star break.

Shaw isn't part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

Shaw has been red hot coming out of the All-Star break, posting a six-game hit streak and going 9-for-19 (.474) with three homers. He'll get what appears to be a night off Friday to start off a three-game set against the White Sox. Vidal Brujan will play third base instead.

Atlanta optioned Alvarez to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

The 22-year-old has been up in the big leagues for the past couple weeks but will head back to Gwinnett due to Austin Riley (abdomen) returning from the injured list Friday. Alvarez received regular playing time at third base while Riley was out and went 6-for-30 (.200 average) with a double, two runs and nine strikeouts in eight games.

Atlanta reinstated Riley (abdomen) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

The third baseman was still feeling some discomfort in his lower abdomen earlier this week, but he's ready to rejoin the big-league roster Friday after spending two weeks on the injured list. Riley had a hot start to July prior to the injury, going 13-for-41 (.317 average) with five doubles, two homers, six RBI and five runs in 10 games.
