Garcia went 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple, four RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Garcia fell just a double shy of the cycle, launching a three-run homer in the third inning and adding an RBI triple in the eighth. Through 14 June contests, the 25-year-old has delivered six multi-hit efforts with eight extra-base hits, 11 RBI, nine runs scored and five stolen bases. He's now slashing .318/.377/.500 with eight homers, 36 RBI, 33 runs scored and 15 steals across 294 plate appearances in what continues to be a breakout campaign.

Caminero went 4-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 12-8 win over Baltimore.

It was the second four-hit attack of the year by Caminero, who continues to tear the cover off the ball. The hard-hitting third baseman has nine homers and 10 doubles over his last 25 outings, slashing .323/.385/.697 with 28 RBI, two stolen bases and 25 runs scored covering 109 plate appearances during this stretch. Caminero's 2024 campaign may have been beset by injury, but he's beginning to display the slugging potential that helped make him one of the top prospects in baseball a year ago.

Baty was unavailable off the bench for Wednesday's game against Atlanta and may be placed on the injured list if he doesn't show any improvement Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Baty hasn't played since Sunday due to his groin injury, and he's been progressing more slowly in his recovery than the Mets originally expected. If he's still unable to play Thursday or doesn't at least show significant improvement, the Mets may opt to place him on the IL, which would keep him sidelined for at least another week.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
