MLB Player News

Alexander started in center field and went 2-for-4 with an RBI and was caught stealing in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Texas.

Alexander started a second straight game in center field, both coming against left-handers. With the news that Lourdes Gurriel is done for the season with a torn ACL, there's a greater need for Alexander's right-handed bat in the outfield. He has experience in center field and replaced Gurriel in left field Monday.

Rivera went 2-for-5 with four RBI in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Padres.

Rivera took care of business with a pair of two-run singles to account for a majority of the Orioles' runs in this win. He has gone 6-for-17 (.353) over five games since his most recent call-up Aug. 27. He's sharing third base with Jeremiah Jackson for now, though both players figure to see their chances drop once Jordan Westburg (ankle) is able to return. Over 94 plate appearances in the majors this year, Rivera is slashing .253/.309/.287 with no home runs, three doubles, nine RBI, three runs scored and one stolen base.

Caminero went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a two-RBI double and an RBI single during Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Mariners.

Caminero posted his sixth game with more than three RBI this season, and notched multiple hits and RBI for a second straight contest. The third baseman has hit five home runs in his last 10 games, going 14-for-41 (.341) with three doubles and 14 RBI during that stretch. Caminero's sixth-inning homer off Bryan Woo made him the sixth player in baseball to reach the 40-homer mark in 2025.

Peraza went 2-for-4 with an RBI double, a run scored and a stolen base during Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Royals.

Peraza has struggled mightily at the plate this season, slashing .152/.212/.241 in 170 plate appearances with the Yankees before being traded to the Halos. The versatile infielder started his time in Los Angeles going 2-for-18, but he's begun to turn it around. In his last four games, Peraza is 5-for-13 (.385) with a home run, two stolen bases and four total RBI.

Clement is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Clement started the past two games after missing some time due to a hairline finger fracture and a shin laceration, and he'll get a breather after going 2-for-8 with an RBI and a run. Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who was claimed off waivers over the weekend, will make his season debut for Toronto at third base.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Muncy (oblique/illness) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City later this week and could return during next week's homestand, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Muncy's return from a right oblique strain has been delayed a bit by a chest cold, but he looks to be close to overcoming that illness and is nearly game-ready. The third baseman has been sidelined since mid-August.

Barger is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Barger started the previous six games but will take a seat Tuesday after going 4-for-22 with a double, two RBI and eight strikeouts during that span. Nathan Lukes will shift to right field, which opens up left field for Davis Schneider.

House is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Marlins.

House had started the previous two contests, but this marks his third absence from the lineup over the last five games and the fourth absence across the last eight games. The 22-year-old is slashing .213/.221/.267 with a 1:27 BB:K since the start of August. Paul DeJong will handle third base and bat eighth.

Lewis is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Lewis posted an .847 OPS while starting the previous 11 games but will head to the bench for Tuesday's contest. Ryan Fitzgerald will take over at third base and bat ninth versus Chicago righty Davis Martin.

Alvarez went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Cubs.

The 22-year-old infielder has picked up the pace at the plate, and over his last 16 games Alvarez is slashing .288/.344/.373 with five doubles, five RBI and seven runs. He should remain the starting third baseman for the rest of the season with Austin Riley recovering from core muscle surgery, but Alvarez's lack of power or speed limits his fantasy potential even in a full-time role.
