Tommy White 3B | ATH
Athletics' Tommy White: Reaches base twice in first series
White went 0-for-2 with a walk in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Nationals.
White made his major-league debut in Friday's series opener, going 1-for-4 with a double. After being held out of the lineup for Saturday's 15-1 win, White re-entered the starting nine at first base Sunday and went hitless but drew his first major-league walk in the bottom of the seventh inning. White will likely continue to see work at both first base and third base in the absence of Nick Kurtz (thumb) and Zack Gelof (knee).

Coby Mayo 3B | BAL
Orioles' Coby Mayo: Goes deep in win
Mayo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Astros.
Mayo launched a solo shot in the sixth inning before adding a single in the eighth. The 24-year-old has enjoyed a strong July so far, posting a 1.015 OPS with three homers through 10 games this month. With Blaze Alexander landing on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a broken hand, Mayo should have a fairly clear path to an everyday role at third base if he's able to maintain his hot-hitting ways.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Sitting for Game 2
McMahon is not in the starting lineup for the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.
McMahon will head to the bench as New York looks to avoid being swept Sunday. The 31-year-old went 0-for-3 in the matinee, and he'll be replaced at the hot corner by Jose Caballero in the series finale.

Raynel Delgado 2B | HOU
Astros' Raynel Delgado: Back with Houston
The Astros recalled Delgado from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Delgado will make his way back up to the big-league club after a two-week stint in Triple-A. The 26-year-old is expected to serve as a utility infielder for Houston after producing a .267/.313/.400 batting line with one home and four RBI in his first 33 big-league plate appearances.

Royce Lewis 3B | MIN
Twins' Royce Lewis: Good to go Sunday
Lewis (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting cleanup Sunday against the Cubs.
Lewis was held out of Saturday's starting nine due to left hamstring soreness but will rejoin the lineup Sunday after missing just one game. Since returning to the Twins in early June after a brief stay at Triple-A St. Paul, the 27-year-old has a .258/.319/.484 slash line with eight doubles, seven homers, three steals, 16 RBI and 19 runs in 33 games.

Graham Pauley 3B | MIA
Marlins' Graham Pauley: Back with Miami
The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.
Pauley will return to the big-league club after spending a couple of weeks in Triple-A. In the majors this season, the 25-year-old has slashed .176/.219/.297 with one homer and 11 RBI. To make room for Pauley on the roster, Miami optioned Rece Hinds to Jacksonville.

Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: May avoid rehab assignment
Ramirez (hand) may not require a rehab assignment before his activation from the 10-day injured list, MLB.com reports.
Ramirez, who recently ramped up to facing live pitching, is still on target to meet his initial 5-7 week recovery timeline. If he avoids an assignment, Ramirez could rejoin the Guardians at some point in late July.

Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Tallies four hits Saturday
Keith went 4-for-4 with a run and two RBI in a 7-0 victory versus the Angels on Saturday.
All four of Keith's knocks were singles, and he added a sacrifice fly to round out a big day at the plate. Not only did the four hits represent a season-high mark, but Saturday snapped a 22-contest stretch without a multi-hit performance for Keith. He batted a paltry .169 with a .624 OPS during that span, so fantasy managers in shallow leagues are likely going to want to see a prolonged period of production before plucking Keith off the waiver wire.
-
Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Searching for rhythm
Bohm went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Mets.
Despite Saturday's productive showing, Bohm has still struggled overall in what's arguably been a career-worst season so far. The multi-hit game was his first since July 4 in Kansas City, and the RBI was his first since July 6. Through 383 trips to the plate to this point, the third baseman is slashing a miserable .216/.277/.351 with 11 home runs, 14 doubles, 48 RBI and 31 runs scored.

Zack Gelof 3B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Progressing to baseball activities
The Athletics announced that Gelof will begin baseball activities once the stitches on his right knee are removed Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Gelof landed on the 10-day injured list July 10 right due to a right knee laceration. He'll ramp up his rehab program once the stitches in his knee are removed, and if Gelof responds well to workouts, he could bypass a rehab assignment before returning from the IL. Before hitting the shelf, Gelof slashed .273/.327/.476 with 11 home runs, eight steals, 41 runs and 29 RBI across 247 plate appearances with the Athletics.
