Bride went 2-for-4 with a pair of hits in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Mariners.

Since going 0-for-3 in his MLB debut June 14, Bride has proceeded to record at least one hit in each of his subsequent six starts. Only one of his eight big-league hits has gone for extra bases, but Bride's high-contact approach -- he's struck out just once in 25 plate appearances -- should allow him to stick around as a lineup regular against both left- and right-handed pitching. Bride is expected to see most of his work at third base and second base, but he could be catcher-eligible in some leagues after logging 11 starts behind the plate for Triple-A Las Vegas this season prior to his call-up.

Kennedy (wrist) isn't starting Wednesday against the Padres, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kennedy was removed from Tuesday's game against San Diego due to left wrist discomfort and isn't in the lineup a day later. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench.

Machado (ankle) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Though the Padres remain optimistic the sprained left ankle Machado sustained in Sunday's loss to the Rockies won't force him to the 10-day injured list, the star third baseman will remain on the bench for the third day in a row. Ha-Seong Kim will once again replace Machado at the hot corner.

Hayes went 1-for-4 with a triple and a run scored Tuesday against the Cubs.

Hayes led off the bottom of the first inning with a triple and was immediately driven in by Bryan Reynolds. Hayes has struggled to display home run power this season, but he has four extra-base hits across his last 10 games. Across 263 plate appearances, he has 29 runs scored and eight stolen bases while maintaining a .265 batting average.

LeMahieu went 2-for-2 with a double, a walk and two RBI in a 5-4 loss to the Rays on Tuesday.

LeMahieu came into the game batting .192 (2-for-26) over the last seven days, but he rapped out a couple of hits and reached on a walk once to break out of his slump. His .341 OBP is likely good enough to keep him locked in atop the Yankees' AL-leading offense in runs scored, which bodes well for his counting stats. LeMahieu's 34 runs tie him for ninth amongst second basemen.

Paredes went 3-for-3 with three home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.

It was his first multi-hit game since May 30, and he is now hitting .200/.284/.600 with eight home runs over his last 65 at-bats. The Rays have dealt with several injuries to outfielders lately, and while Paredes plays the infield, he could see somewhat regular playing time in the short term if he can continue to make an impact offensively.

McMahon went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two additional RBI during Tuesday's 9-8 loss at Miami.

The 27-year-old produced his first three-hit game of the season over the weekend against San Diego, and he did it for a second time Tuesday while launching his sixth homer. McMahon has a .246/.351/.415 slash line with two home runs and 14 RBI through 19 games in June.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Athletics.

Suarez entered Tuesday on an 0-for-11 skid. It took him until the seventh inning to put an end to that slump, when he hit the Mariners' third consecutive homer to establish a 7-0 lead. The third baseman continues to supply solid power with 13 homers and a .438 slugging percentage through 68 contests. He's added 36 RBI, 33 runs scored, 12 doubles and a .227 batting average, and it doesn't appear that his recent slump will lead to reduced playing time.

Escobar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Astros.

Escobar went deep in the seventh inning for his first homer since June 6. The infielder has hit safely in his last two games since snapping an 0-for-18 skid. He still owns a lackluster .230/.292/.395 slash line with six long balls, 29 RBI, 30 runs scored, 16 doubles and three triples across 271 plate appearances this year.

Kennedy was removed from Tuesday's game against the Padres with left wrist discomfort.

Kennedy appeared to tweak something when he struck out swinging during the top of fourth inning, and he was replaced in the field for the bottom of the frame. The severity of the 23-year-old's wrist injury remains unclear, and he should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.
