Jimenez (illness) will start at third base and bat fifth Saturday against the Mets.

Jimenez has been out since Wednesday due to a stomach illness, but he now seems to be feeling better and will pick up a start at the hot corner against southpaw Zac Thornton.

Rosario went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 2-0 win over the Cubs on Friday.

Rosario plated the first run in the low-scoring affair with a 450-foot solo shot to center field in the fourth inning. The utility man went deep on both the first and the last day of July but batted just .148 with no long balls and no RBI while striking out at a horrid 53.6 percent rate over 15 games in between. Rosario has started at third base four of the past five times New York has faced a left-handed starter and appears to be holding down the short side of a platoon at the hot corner with Ryan McMahon.

Guzman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Friday's 6-2 loss to the Brewers.

It was a quiet day for the Angels offense overall, with the only scoring coming via Guzman's two-run shot during the fifth inning. It's the fifth homer of the season for the 22-year-old, who has taken over as the primary third baseman with six starts in the past seven games. He's yet to take advantage of the regular playing time and has a .519 OPS in 10 contests since the All-Star break.

Gonzales went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Friday against the Reds.

Gonzales jump-started the Pirates' offense in the first inning with a two-RBI single, extending his hitting streak to 15 games. He's hit .379 in that span, also collecting eight RBI and 11 runs scored to go along with two home runs. Gonzales' performance at the plate was overshadowed by a defensive miscue that cost the Pirates a win, but he should remain the team's primary third baseman for at least the next month with Konnor Griffin (finger) sidelined.

Gelof (knee) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Las Vegas, per MLB.com.

Gelof has been on the injured list since July 10 due to a right knee laceration but has continued to make progress in his recovery, taking part in a running progression and baseball activities. Provided no setbacks arise, the 26-year-old likely won't need a lengthy rehab assignment and should return to the big-league club in early August. Before hitting the shelf, Gelof slashed .273/.327/.476 with 11 home runs, 29 RBI, 41 runs and eight stolen bases across 67 contests.

Lewis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

Lewis extended his hitting streak to six games with his seventh-inning long ball. He has gone 6-for-22 during the streak, adding four RBI and a steal. The homer Friday ended a 13-game power drought for Lewis, though he still hasn't logged a multi-hit game since July 11. For the season, the infielder is batting .216 with a .690 OPS, 11 homers, 34 RBI, 37 runs scored, 10 steals, 13 doubles and a triple over 76 games.

Lee went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

Lee got the Twins on the board in the second inning with his homer. The infielder has slumped a bit at the plate, going just 3-for-28 over his last eight games. Despite the downturn, he's maintained a fairly regular spot in the lineup. He's batting .244 with a .725 OPS this season, and he matched his homer total from last year (16) with his long ball Friday. Lee also has 58 RBI, 50 runs scored, 16 doubles, three triples and seven stolen bases over 106 contests this year.

Paredes went 2-for-3 with a home run, two walks and two RBI in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Rangers.

Paredes was a consistent contributor all night. Despite entering the contest in a 1-for-17 skid over his previous four games, the 27-year-old finishes July with an .836 OPS and 15 RBI in 23 games. For the year, he's slashing .257/.352/.428 with 15 homers, 60 RBI and 44 runs scored across 443 plate appearances.

Vargas went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run during the White Sox's 6-1 win over the Rays on Friday.

Vargas got on the board early with a solo long ball in the first inning, one of four homers that the White Sox hit off Rays right-hander Nick Martinez. Vargas is up to 23 home runs on the year, which is tied for eighth in the American League. He'll end the month of July with a .740 OPS with four home runs and 12 RBI across 111 plate appearances.

Caminero went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run during the Rays' 6-1 loss to the White Sox on Friday.

Caminero supplied the Rays' lone run with a solo long ball off Erick Fedde in the fourth inning. It was the 30th home run of the season for Caminero and his first since July 17 against the Red Sox. He's cracked at least 30 homers in back-to-back seasons and has a .910 OPS with 66 RBI across 475 plate appearances in 2025.
