  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Hitless since return

    Ramirez went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Cubs.

    Ramirez, who missed one game after getting hit on the forearm last Thursday, is hitless in the three games since returning to the lineup. The 0-for-12 stretch is his longest hitless run of the season.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Rehab shifts to Triple-A

    Marte (oblique) went 2-for-3 with two walks, a home run and five RBI for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

    Marte started at third base and played all nine innings, the first nine-inning game he's played in the field during his rehab assignment. The rehab has taken him from the Arizona Complex League (three starts) to Double-A Chattanooga (four starts) and now to Louisville. Per MLB.com, Marte is slated to play two games with the Bats before being re-evaluated.

  • Max Muncy SS | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: Goes yard Tuesday

    Muncy went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Rays.

    Muncy got the Athletics on the board with a two-run blast off Shane Baz in the fourth. Muncy had four homers in eight games earlier in June, but this was his extra-base hit since June 14. He's now hit safely in six of his last seven games, but Tuesday's long ball provided the only runs he's driven in over that span. For the season, Muncy is hitting .211/.258/.355 with six homers, 18 RBI, 13 runs, a steal and an 8:51 BB:K in 163 plate appearances.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Doubles among trio of hits

    Riley went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Angels.

    The three-hit effort was Riley's fifth of the campaign and his first since June 9. The 28-year-old third baseman is batting a strong .286 over his last 98 at-bats, but he has only two home runs and nine RBI during this 24-game period. It's possible Riley will move down the batting order from fourth to fifth once Jurickson Profar (suspension) gets back into the fold, although the latter's return should only aid the former's fantasy upside.

  • Luis Rengifo 3B | LAA

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Hot streak continues in victory

    Rengifo went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Atlanta.

    Rengifo ran his hitting streak up to five games, and he's logged multiple knocks four times during this span. The switch-hitting utility man has been heating up at the dish, slashing .313/.378/.507 with six extra-base hits and eight RBI to go with 10 runs scored and one stolen base over his last 74 plate appearances. Rengifo should continue to play nearly every day despite the recent arrival of second baseman Christian Moore, although the former could be challenged for action at third base once Yoan Moncada (knee) is back in the mix.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Absence continuing Tuesday

    Westburg (finger) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    The 26-year-old is sitting for a fourth consecutive game Tuesday due to the injury to his left index finger. Westburg said Monday that he expects it to linger for a while but he is hoping to be recovered enough to rejoin Baltimore's lineup within the next couple days. Ramon Urias will receive another start at the hot corner for the Orioles on Tuesday.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Taking seat Tuesday

    Jung isn't in the Rangers' lineup Tuesday versus the Orioles.

    Jung is getting the day off Tuesday amidst his slump, as he slashed .158/.208/.221 in the month of June. The third baseman is now batting .237 entering July, but he was hovering around .280 prior to June. While the 27-year-old is on the bench Tuesday, Ezequiel Duran gets the start at the hot corner, batting eighth.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Battling sprained finger

    Arenado was diagnosed with a right index finger sprain Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Arenado initially injured himself Sunday and worked as the DH on Monday, but he will be held out of the starting nine entirely Tuesday while Nolan Gorman starts at the hot corner. X-rays on Arenado's finger came back negative, so he's being considered day-to-day for now.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Out of St. Louis lineup

    Arenado is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh.

    Arenado was lifted from Sunday's game in Cleveland with a jammed right index finger and was used at designated hitter Monday. It's not clear whether his absence from Tuesday's lineup is related to that injury or is simply a day of rest. Nolan Gorman will be at third base and bat fifth for the Cardinals.

  • Paul DeJong SS | NYY

    Nationals' Paul DeJong: Reinstated from injured list

    The Nationals activated DeJong (orbital) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    DeJong has been sidelined since mid-April due to a fractured nose and orbital bone, but he is ready to go following a 12-game rehab stint with Double-A Harrisburg. The 31-year-old had been serving as the Nationals' primary third baseman prior to getting hurt, but with Brady House now holding down that job, DeJong is likely to serve as a reserve infielder.
