Anderson went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Giants.

Anderson came through with an RBI single in the ninth inning as the Marlins mounted a late rally, but he was left stranded on second as the tying run to end the game. The 25-year-old is hitting .333 in June and leads the Marlins in both RBI (36) and runs scored (41).

Farmer was sent back down to Triple-A Oklahoma City following Wednesday's game.

Farmer will return to the minors after joining the big-league club this past weekend to provide some extra depth while the Dodgers continue to deal with injuries. This move likely signals the return of Chase Utley, who is set to come off the DL (thumb) prior to Friday's game against the Mets. As for Farmer, the 27-year-old will continue to receive regular at-bats with Oklahoma City.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Tigers.

His sixth-inning blast gave the Reds a 3-2 lead that they wouldn't relinquish. Suarez now has 15 homers on the year, and his .295/.382/.571 slash line puts him well on his way to career highs in all three categories.

Candelario went 2-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Reds.

It's his 11th homer of the year and third in June, but Candelario is only hitting .190 (12-for-63) through 18 games on the month despite the decent power numbers. The 24-year-old might continue to struggle with consistency in his second full season in the majors, but he remains a key piece of the Tigers' rebuild.

Duffy is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Duffy will get a well-deserved breather after starting the previous 18 games, slashing an impressive .333/.387/.536 with two homers over that stretch. Joey Wendle will cover third base in his stead, while Willy Adames starts at the keystone and Adeiny Hechavarria gets the nod at shortstop.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy said "all went well" Tuesday when Longoria underwent surgery to repair a fractured left hand, Martin Oppegaard of MLB.com reports.

Longoria will head to the Giants' spring training facility in Arizona before returning to San Francisco over the weekend to begin his rehab, which is expected to last around 6-to-8 weeks. With Longoria likely on the shelf until at least early August, Pablo Sandoval and Alen Hanson are expected to share duties at third base.

Donaldson (calf) will not travel with the Blue Jays when they travel to Los Angeles on Thursday to begin a four-game series with the Angels, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Donaldson is expected to continue rehabbing in Florida before eventually heading out on a brief minor-league rehab assignment when deemed ready, likely ruling out a return over the weekend. At this point, the veteran third baseman remains without a timetable for his return as the Blue Jays continue to handle him with care.

Walding was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

With J.P. Crawford (hand) hitting the disabled list for the second time this season, Walding will once again rejoin the Phillies to serve as his replacement. The 25-year-old appeared in just three games -- starting one -- and struck out in all six of his plate appearances during his first stint with the big club, so he figures to stick in a reserve role this time around.

Arenado went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, three RBI and a pair of runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Mets.

Arenado helped break the game open early, hitting a two-run shot in the third inning to kickstart a back-to-back-to-back sequence after Trevor Story and Ian Desmond followed with long balls of their own. The 27-year-old has now tallied multi-hit efforts in three of the last five games and is having another terrific campaign; through 67 games, he's slashing .311/.399/.559 to go along with 14 homers and 45 RBI.

Escobar went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

Escobar doubled in a couple of runs in the sixth inning, then came through with the game-winning RBI single in the eighth to break a 2-2 tie. The 29-year-old has now tallied three straight multi-hit games with five doubles and six RBI over that span, and is riding an eight-game hitting streak to raise his slash line to .305/.355/.582.
