Nolan Arenado 3B | STL
Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Collects three RBI
Arenado went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in Friday's win over the White Sox.
Arenado gave St. Louis an early lead with a two-run double in the first inning before adding another RBI double in the fifth. Over his previous 13 games, he'd posted a disappointing .614 OPS with just one multi-hit performance, while Friday's game was the first time he'd driven in multiple runs since April 20. Arenado is slashing .279/.338/.369 with nine extra-base hits and 16 RBI through 32 games.

Brett Baty 3B | NYM
Mets' Brett Baty: Goes yard twice in loss
Baty went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 10-8 loss to the Rays.
The young third baseman took Aaron Civale deep for a three-run blast in the second inning to open the scoring, and he then connected for a solo shot off Jason Adam in the ninth. It was the first multi-homer performance of Baty's big-league career, and it snapped a 27-game drought for the 24-year-old -- his only other long ball in 2024 came back on March 30. Despite the power outage, Baty has taken a big step forward in his development this year, and through 30 contests he's slashing .271/.340/.385, a massive improvement on last season's .212/.275/.323 line.

Ryan McMahon 3B | COL
Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Launches fifth homer
McMahon went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 win over the Pirates.
The 29-year-old led off the sixth inning by hammering a Martin Perez changeup out of PNC Park completely and into the Allegheny River, becoming only the second Colorado player in history to accomplish the feat after Todd Helton back in 2001. Three of McMahon's five homers this year have come in the last eight games, and the power surge has boosted his slash line on the season to .319/.407/.513 with 13 runs and 19 RBI in 32 contests.

Christopher Morel 2B | TB
Cubs' Christopher Morel: Homers again Friday
Morel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Brewers.
Morel snapped a scoreless tie with two outs in the sixth inning, launching a solo shot to centerfield off Joe Ross to put the Cubs ahead 1-0. Morel now has homers in back-to-back games and three in his last five contests following a span of 16 games without a long ball. The 24-year-old third baseman is slashing .210/.286/.403 through 133 plate appearances this year with six homers, 18 RBI, 19 runs scored and three stolen bases.

Joseph Ortiz 3B | MIL
Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Takes seat Friday
Ortiz is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.
It's the second straight game on the bench for Ortiz after making five consecutive starts, and he went 5-for-15 with five walks, three doubles, a homer and five RBI during that stretch. Oliver Dunn will receive another start at the hot corner Friday in Chicago.

Tyler Wade 3B | SD
Padres' Tyler Wade: Swipes fifth bag
Wade went 1-for-4 with two runs and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-2 victory against the Reds.
Wade got a start at second base in place of the resting Xander Bogaerts and scored two of San Diego's six runs. The veteran began the campaign logging regular time at third base due to Manny Machado being relegated to DH duties following offseason shoulder surgery, but Machado has since returned to playing the field, cutting into both Wade's and Eguy Rosario's playing time. Wade is batting just .230 over 71 plate appearances, but he's stolen five bags and posted a useful 11.6 percent walk rate.

Trey Lipscomb 3B | WAS
Nationals' Trey Lipscomb: Taking seat Thursday
Lipscomb is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Rangers.
Lipscomb had made six straight starts at third base, but he'll give way to Ildemaro Vargas at the hot corner Thursday. The rookie infielder is slashing .267/.325/.320 in 22 contests thus far at the major-league level.
