  • Ramon Urias 2B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Sitting in second straight

    Urias is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    Urias will take a seat for the second game in a row and looks to be moving into more of a part-time role now with Jordan Westburg having taken back over as the Orioles' primary third baseman following his return from the injured list last Tuesday. The Orioles should still be able to find room in the lineup for Urias against left-handed pitching, but his opportunities to play against righties could become more sporadic.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Out again Wednesday

    Baty (groin) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta.

    With lefty Chris Sale toeing the rubber for Atlanta, there's a good chance the left-handed-hitting Baty would have been out of the lineup even if he wasn't dealing with right groin tightness. The bigger test for his availability figures to come Thursday, when righty Spencer Strider starts for Atlanta in the series finale. The Mets are going with Jeff McNeil at second base and Ronny Mauricio at third base Wednesday.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Will get tested out Wednesday

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Bregman (quad) will undergo testing Wednesday to see where he's at strength-wise and to determine what's next in his progression, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Recovering from a right quad strain, Bregman resumed running in early June but noted last week he is running at only about 50 percent intensity. It's possible he'll receive the go-ahead Wednesday to accelerate his rehab, but the Red Sox should have more on the third baseman's status later this week. Bregman could skip a rehab assignment, but even if that happens he does not appear close to returning.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Sitting versus lefty

    McMahon is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.

    McMahon will get a rare day of rest after he started in each of the previous six games. Orlando Arcia will cover third base and bat sixth for the Rockies while McMahon gets a breather.

  • Brady House 3B | WAS

    Nationals' Brady House: Racks up big-league firsts

    House went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Rockies.

    In his second career MLB game, House banged out his first career hit with a single in the sixth inning and then drove in his first run with another knock in the ninth. The 22-year-old has reached base four times in his first nine trips to the plate for the Nationals, and while he has yet to show any power, he homered 13 times in 65 games for Triple-A Rochester prior to his promotion.

  • Eric Wagaman 1B | MIN

    Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Ends homer drought Tuesday

    Wagaman went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Phillies.

    The 27-year-old took Jesus Luzardo deep in the second inning, ending a 20-game homerless drought for Wagaman in which he hit just .228 (18-for-79) with four doubles and 10 RBI. He's emerged as the Marlins' starting first baseman mostly by default, but Wagaman doesn't have the offensive upside typically associated with the position -- through 270 plate appearances on the season, he's slashing .245/.289/.369 with five home runs and 27 RBI. Deyvison De Los Santos (quadriceps) is on a rehab assignment and should return to action with Triple-A Jacksonville shortly, and he represents the biggest threat in the organization to Wagaman's starting gig.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Reaches base four times

    Paredes went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, two walks and a run scored Tuesday against the Athletics.

    Paredes sat out Houston's weekend series against the Twins due to a hamstring injury but has now started two straight contests. He chipped in during a 13-run offensive explosion for Houston on Tuesday while collecting his fourth extra-base hit in his last four starts. In 12 games since the beginning of June, Paredes has four homers, 12 RBI and eight runs scored, continuing his strong performance this season.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Delivers another run

    Suarez went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays. He was also hit twice by pitches.

    Suarez was hit by pitches in consecutive at-bats in the fourth and fifth innings, before he delivered the Diamondbacks' fourth run with a two-out single in the seventh. The RBI was the 10th in the last five games for Suarez, who leads the team with 58 RBI in 72 contests. He's been hit by pitches 10 times this season, which is also tops on the club.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Athletics' Gio Urshela: Two hits off bench in return

    Urshela went 2-for-2 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 13-3 loss to the Astros.

    Urshela missed just under four weeks due to a left hamstring strain. He didn't start Tuesday, but he was the only Athletic to log multiple hits in the contest. It's unclear if he'll be able to regain a regular role in the Athletics' infield -- his best bet for playing time is likely to challenge Max Muncy at third base, though Muncy is hitting a respectable .261 (12-for-46) in June compared to his .211 average on the year. Urshela is at a .240/.290/.360 slash line with no home runs, 14 RBI, four runs scored, 10 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases across 109 plate appearances this season. Even if he gains a starting role in the short term, Miguel Andujar (oblique) could displace Urshela once healthy.

  • Jonah Bride 3B | TEX

    Twins' Jonah Bride: Ends slump

    Bride started at third base and went 1-for-2 in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Reds. He ended an 0-for-25 skid at the plate with a fifth-inning single before he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning.

    Bride was hitting just .133 with a .378 OPS in 20 games since May 1 before Tuesday. He was likely a candidate to be sent down or released, but now he could see an increase in playing time if he can get going at the plate with Royce Lewis back on the injured list with a groin injury.
