  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Swipes two bags

    Hayes went 2-for-3 with a run scored and two stolen bases Wednesday against the Marlins.

    Hayes' overall numbers remain poor, but he has shown some improvement in June. Across nine games, he has gone 9-for-31 with two RBI, four runs scored and two stolen bases. While that's still underwhelming for fantasy purposes, he is up to eight swiped bags on the season and is pacing toward his highest total since 2022.

  • Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Heading to bench Thursday

    Mauricio is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

    Mauricio will take a seat after he had made starts in each of the last five games -- three at third base, one at shortstop and one at designated hitter -- while going 5-for-16 with a home run, a double, two walks, two stolen bases and three additional runs. Though he doesn't have a direct path to an everyday role at any one position, Mauricio's ability to fit in at three infield spots or at DH will allow the Mets to find him at least semi-regular at-bats so long as he remains productive at the plate.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Reaches 20 steals again

    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 11-2 win over the Reds.

    Ramirez got the Guardians on the board with a run-producing double in the first inning and then stole third base. It was the 20th steal of the season for Ramirez, his fifth straight season and eighth overall with at least 20 thefts. The remarkably consistent Ramirez, who's hit safely in 11 consecutive games, also extended an on-base streak to 40 contests with a slash of .370/.433/.591 during that stretch dating back to April 27.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Waiting on MRI

    Marte (oblique) is targeting June 20 to begin a rehab assignment but needs to get an MRI before being cleared, MLB.com reports.

    Marte recently began hitting soft tosses in the batting cage at the team's complex in Goodyear (Ariz.), which signaled a rehab assignment was imminent. He's been sidelined on the 10-day injured list since early May.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Homers in back-to-back games

    Westburg went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Tigers.

    Westburg delivered the final blow in Baltimore's seven-run eighth inning, tucking a Beau Brieske fastball inside the left-field foul pole for his sixth homer of the year. Westburg has certainly hit the ground running since returning from a month-plus stint on the IL, homering in back-to-back games. Overall, the 26-year-old Westburg is slashing .232/.290/.465 with 14 runs scored and 10 RBI across 107 plate appearances this season.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | STL

    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.
