Nick Gonzales 3B | PIT
Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Goes yard Wednesday
Gonzales went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 11-9 loss to the Astros.
Gonzales has homered twice over his last three games and has seven RBI during a five-game hitting streak. The infielder is known to have a fairly steady bat, though that typically doesn't come with power -- those two recent long balls are all he's hit this season. Gonzales is batting .314 with a .758 OPS, 29 RBI, 31 runs scored, three stolen bases and 10 doubles through 56 contests.

Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU
Astros' Isaac Paredes: Swats homer in comeback win
Paredes went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, a walk and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 11-9 win over the Pirates.
Paredes had gone eight games without a multi-hit effort prior to Wednesday. The third baseman helped cut into the deficit with his seventh-inning homer, his second long ball in six contests. For the season, he's hitting .238 with a .720 OPS, seven homers, 27 RBI, 23 runs scored, 10 doubles and no stolen bases over 57 games. Carlos Correa's season-ending ankle injury has provided Paredes a path to everyday starts at third base.

Royce Lewis 3B | MIN
Twins' Royce Lewis: Raking at Triple-A since demotion
Lewis is slashing .341/.413/.927 with seven home runs and a 3:10 BB:K in 10 games for Triple-A St. Paul since the Twins demoted him May 19.
After Lewis posted a career-worst .540 OPS over 119 plate appearances with the big club to begin the season, the Twins sent him to Triple-A so that he could implement changes to his swing in a low-pressure setting. Over the past two weeks, Lewis has done his part to prove that he's deserving of another look in the majors. Along with tapping into more power with St. Paul, Lewis is making contact at a steady rate; he's struck out at a manageable 20.8 percent clip in the minors, down over 10 percentage points from his mark with the Twins. Minnesota also plans to give Lewis exposure to some different positions during his time at Triple-A. Lewis will start at second base Thursday, and Twins manager Derek Shelton added that the 26-year-old will also get some work at first base at some point, per Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com.

Maikel Garcia 3B | KC
Royals' Maikel Garcia: Held out again Wednesday
Garcia (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cincinnati.
This marks Garcia's fourth consecutive absence from the starting lineup as he continues to deal with a right hamstring issue. The Royals have held off on putting Garcia on the 10-day injured list, but a move will have to be made soon if he's not game-ready in a hurry. Nick Loftin is filling in again at third base Wednesday in Garcia's stead.

Jorbit Vivas 3B | WAS
Nationals' Jorbit Vivas: Back on bench Wednesday
Vivas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Vivas had started at second base twice and third base once over the Nationals' previous four games, going 2-for-11 with a walk and a run scored during that stretch. Washington has seemingly moved Curtis Mead into a full-time role at third base, but Vivas could end up getting more opportunities at the keystone if Nasim Nunez continues to languish at the plate. Though he leads the majors with 22 stolen bases, Nunez is slashing just .182/.256/.221 since the start of May.

Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS
Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Extends XBH streak to five games
Durbin went 1-for-3 with a double in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles.
He's still hitting ninth in the order, but Durbin seems to have regained a full-time job at third base thanks to a surge that has seen him produce an extra-base hit in five straight games while batting .350 (7-for-20) with four doubles, a triple, one run and six RBI. If the former Brewer is beginning to learn how to play wall ball off the Green Monster in his new home park, Durbin could still turn around what has been a tough start to his Red Sox tenure.

Ramon Urias 3B | STL
Cardinals' Ramon Urias: Nearing rehab assignment
Urias (elbow) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Memphis as soon as this weekend, Derrick Goold and Amber Winkler of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch report.
Urias is nearly ready for game action after being sidelined for the past month with right elbow lateral epicondylitis. The veteran infielder should be ready to rejoin the Cardinals' roster by mid-June, and Urias might see an uptick in playing time, given Nolan Gorman's struggles.

Tristan Gray SS | MIN
Twins' Tristan Gray: Two RBI, two runs, SB in win
Gray went 2-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the White Sox.
Gray scored on a Brooks Lee sac fly in the third inning before he drove home a pair on an RBI single in the fourth while also swiping his second base of the season. Over his last six games, Gray is 7-for-20 (.350) with one homer, 11 RBI, four runs scored and both of his stolen bases for the season. He's slashing .248/.297/.396 with four home runs, 25 RBI, 13 runs scored and a 7:34 BB:K across 112 plate appearances in 2026.

Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA
Mariners' Patrick Wisdom: Hits first homer of season
Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Mets.
Wisdom has seen sporadic playing time since he recovered from an oblique injury that sidelined him for more than a month. The homer Tuesday was his first long ball and third hit over seven contests this year. Wisdom is batting .167 with four RBI, two runs scored, one double and no stolen bases over 19 plate appearances. He's unlikely to carve out an everyday role in the long run, but he should be able to pick up some extra time while Josh Naylor (back spasms) gets back to full health.

Nolan Gorman 3B | STL
Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Snaps slump with homer Tuesday
Gorman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-4 loss against the Rangers.
Gorman provided St. Louis with a spark in the fourth inning, taking Nathan Eovaldi deep for his seventh homer of the season. The blast came at a much-needed time for the infielder, who has been in a brutal slump over the previous few weeks, batting just 2-for-33 (.061) without an RBI while carrying a staggering 52.8 percent strikeout rate during that stretch. Gorman is now slashing .209/.291/.342 with four doubles, 26 RBI and 18 runs scored across 213 plate appearances.
