  • Ramon Urias 2B | HOU

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Homer, stolen base in win

    Urias went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-1 win over Detroit.

    Urias opened the scoring Wednesday with a 380-foot shot off Casey Mize, his third homer of the year and first since April 26. The 31-year-old Urias has been Baltimore's primary option at third base for most of the year, though he's likely to lose some playing time (despite Wednesday's effort) following Jordan Westburg's return from the IL. Overall, Urias is slashing .278/.335/.377 with 21 RBI and 16 runs scored through 173 plate appearances this season.

  • Marcelo Mayer SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: First career multi-homer game

    Mayer went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rays.

    Wednesday marked the first multi-homer game of the 2021 first-rounder's major-league career. Mayer has been primarily working on the strong side of a platoon with Abraham Toro at third base, and the former is slowly beginning to flash his slugging potential. Mayer is slashing .250/.313/.523 with three long balls, four doubles and four RBI over 44 plate appearances, and he should continue to see the majority of the action at the hot corner as long as Alex Bregman (quadriceps) remains on the injured list.

  • Andy Lugo 3B | BOS

    Twins' Andy Lugo: Dealt to Minnesota

    The Red Sox traded Lugo to the Twins on Wednesday in exchange for Jorge Alcala, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Lugo has spent the entire season with the Red Sox's High-A affiliate, where he's slashed .265/.327/.430 with four homers, 20 RBI, 16 runs scored and four steals through 44 games. The 21-year-old infielder will likely remain in High-A upon moving to the Twins organization and will aim to join Double-A Wichita by the end of the season.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Crushes grand slam in win

    Suarez went 3-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Mariners.

    Suarez notched his first three-hit performance since May 25, highlighted by what proved to be a game-winning grand slam in the sixth inning. The third baseman has opened June on a power surge, going deep four times with two doubles through the first 10 games of the month. On the year, he's slashing .233/.305/.514 with 19 home runs, 52 RBI, 41 runs scored and one steal across 279 plate appearances.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Drives in four in Wednesday's win

    Bohm went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Cubs.

    Shifted back to third base after starting four straight games at first base to cover for Bryce Harper (wrist), Bohm delivered his third straight multi-hit performance Wednesday while setting a season high in RBI. The 28-year-old capped the scoring for the Phillies on the afternoon with a solo shot off Genesis Cabrera in the seventh inning. Since the beginning of May, Bohm is batting a blistering .333 (47-for-141) in 37 contests with all six of his homers on the year, plus 16 runs and 20 RBI.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Dealing with lower body injury

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said after Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Cardinals that Clement is considered day-to-day with a lower body injury, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Clement was replaced by Addison Barger at third base in the ninth inning. The injury doesn't appear to be serious, and with the Blue Jays scheduled for a day off Thursday, Clement could be available for Friday's weekend opener against the Phillies. He went 3-for-4 with a double and a solo home run prior to being subbed out.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Getting breather Wednesday

    McMahon is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Giants.

    The left-handed-hitting McMahon will get a breather as the Giants send southpaw Robbie Ray to the hill. Orlando Arcia will hold down third base and bat sixth for the Rockies.

  • Tyler Wade SS | TEX

    Padres' Tyler Wade: Moving to bench Wednesday

    Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Wade had started each of the last three games in left field and went 2-for-7 with a triple and three RBI, but he'll give way to Gavin Sheets while Xander Bogaerts gets a day out of the infield and serves as the Padres' designated hitter. Until Jason Heyward (oblique) returns from the injured list, Wade could serve as the Padres' primary option in left field, at least against right-handed pitching.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Out of lineup Wednesday

    Lewis is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Rangers.

    Lewis has perked up offensively in June, going 8-for-22 with five RBI and a 4:5 K:BB. Despite that, he'll head to the bench for the fourth time this month. Brooks Lee will start at third base and bat eighth for the Twins on Wednesday.

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: On bench Wednesday

    Barger is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    The left-handed-hitting Barger hasn't been a strict platoon player for the Blue Jays this season, but he'll nonetheless head to the bench for Toronto's second straight matchup with a lefty (Matthew Liberatore), after Barger previously sat against Phillies southpaw Jesus Luzardo last Thursday. With Barger out of the lineup, Ernie Clement will cover third base and George Springer will occupy right field.
