  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Rehab at Double-A begins

    Marte (oblique) started at designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with a run scored for Double-A Chattanooga on Wednesday.

    This was Marte's first rehab game at an affiliate following a weekend spent in the Arizona Complex League. He's expected to play five consecutive games and then will be re-evaluated, per Greg Kuffner of MSN.com. Marte has been on the 10-day injured list since May 7.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Walks off Toronto

    Ramirez went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.

    Ramirez's 10th-inning single plated the game-winning run. He had earlier drove in the Guardians' first run. After a rare two-game hitless run in the middle of June, Ramirez has hit safely in six of the last seven contests, going 9-for-29 (.310) with one extra-base hit and four RBI. He leads the Guardians with 38 RBI over 76 games.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Takes light batting practice

    Suarez (hand) participated in a light batting practice session Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

    Suarez, who was hit by a pitch in Monday's game, is confident he will return to the lineup Friday, but the Diamondbacks want him to undergo an MRI when the swelling subsides. That potentially could happen Thursday. Ildemaro Vargas took over at third base Tuesday, but he suffered a fractured foot and landed on the 10-day injured list. Tim Tawa is currently handling the hot corner, and the team also called up infielder Blaze Alexander from Triple-A Reno.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Has another big RBI day in victory

    Muncy went 2-for-4 with a home run, two total runs and six RBI in an 8-1 win against the Rockies on Wednesday.

    Muncy's first two RBI can be attributed to the weather -- he lofted a pop fly in the infield with two runners on base in the sixth inning, but rain impeded the catch, allowing the ball to drop and resulting in two Dodgers crossing the plate. The veteran third baseman earned every bit of his next hit, as he blasted a 418-foot grand slam in the seventh frame to break the game open for Los Angeles. Muncy has six hits -- including three long balls -- and 13 RBI over his past three games, pushing his season OPS to .829 after it stood at .723 coming into June.

  • Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Homer, three hits in win

    Mauricio went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.

    Mauricio opened the scoring with a solo homer in the third inning while tallying his first career three-hit game. Since making his season debut June 3, he's slashing .224/.274/.414 with three home runs, five RBI, seven runs scored and two steals across 62 plate appearances. The 24-year-old has made 11 of his 16 starts at third base, so he could be at risk of losing playing time with Mark Vientos (hamstring) on track to return from the injured list as early as Thursday.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Homers, drives in three

    Jung went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a third RBI in Wednesday's 7-0 victory over the Orioles.

    Jung opened the scoring in the second inning with a two-out, RBI single before extending the lead to 3-0 with an opposite-field homer off Brandon Young, his eighth of the year. The 27-year-old Jung has gone 4-for-9 in his last two games following a rough 2-for-30 stretch. Overall, Jung is batting .246 with a .677 OPS, 34 RBI, 25 runs scored and four steals across 277 plate appearances this season.

  • Eric Wagaman 1B | MIN

    Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Sitting down Wednesday

    Wagaman isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

    Wagaman extended his hitting streak to seven games Tuesday with a double, but he'll take a seat Wednesday. Liam Hicks will instead start at first base, opening a spot in the lineup for Heriberto Hernandez to serve as the DH.

  • Brooks Lee SS | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Getting night off

    Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Willi Castro (wrist) will return to the lineup after a three-game absence and will fill in at third base for Lee, who will take a seat for the first time since June 10. While starting in each of Minnesota's last 13 games, Lee slashed .373/.385/.529 with two home runs and eight RBI. Though he'll likely see most of his starts at third base while Royce Lewis (hamstring) is on the shelf, the hot-hitting Lee could move over to the keystone to maintain a regular spot in the lineup once Lewis is ready to return from the injured list.

  • Mariners' Ben Williamson: Getting breather Wednesday

    Williamson isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

    Williamson will get a chance to catch his breath Wednesday after collecting three hits and scoring three runs across the first two games of the series. Miles Mastrobuoni will fill in for him at third base and bat ninth.

  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Could be activated Thursday

    Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Vientos (hamstring) could be activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

    Vientos will rejoin the Mets on Thursday ahead of their series finale versus Atlanta. The team might activate him prior to the contest, or it could wait until Friday to reinstate Vientos after the infielder played rehab games with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday and Wednesday. Vientos has been sidelined since early June with a right hamstring strain.
