  • Matt Reynolds 3B | CIN

    Mets' Matt Reynolds: Will start Wednesday

    Reynolds is in the lineup and batting sixth for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    Reynolds will get just his fourth start since being called up to the big league club in the middle of May. The 25-year-old is 4-for-20 with three RBI through 15 games.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Out Wednesday

    Suarez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Braves.

    Suarez will get the day off for the first time since May 29. The 24-year-old has picked it up offensively since the start of June, hitting .267/.346/.511 with three home runs and seven RBI, but he still sits at .228/.289/.422 on the season.

  • Pedro Alvarez 3B | MIA

    Orioles' Pedro Alvarez: Out Wednesday

    Alvarez is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

    Alvarez will get a second consecutive day off after being held out of the lineup Tuesday as well, though there's currently no indication of any physical issues. Mark Trumbo will get another turn as the club's DH in his place, batting fifth against Boston right-hander Steven Wright.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Diamondbacks' Jean Segura: Collects four hits on Tuesday

    Segura went 4-for-4 with two runs in Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers.

    Consider Segura's slump over, as he now is riding a six-game hitting streak and is 12-for-24 during that span. For the second straight game, Segura was the only Arizona player to collect multiple hits. He's now batting .309/.345/.445 on the season.

  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Rays' Evan Longoria: Hits 16th homer against Mariners

    Longoria hit a three-run home run, his 16th, in a 1-for-4 game in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

    Longoria has two home runs in his past three games and four in his past seven as he continues to be Tampa Bay's biggest power threat. Only Manny Machado has a better slugging percentage than Longoria's .541 among American League third basemen. Longoria is striking out more than usual (23.3 percent), but the trade he has made of contact for power has worked out great -- he's on pace for his first 30 home run season since 2013.

  • Orioles' Manny Machado: Hammers 17th home run in win over Boston

    Machado hit his 17th home run, a two-run shot, in a 1-for-4 game in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

    Machado has four extra-base hits including two homers in his past three games as he continues to rake. His 17 home runs ties him with Trevor Story for the major league lead among shortstops, and his .606 slugging percentage leads the position as well. His power would still rank him near the top of his old position of third base, but at shortstop, where defense comes first, nobody is anywhere near as complete a slugger as Machado has shown thus far in 2016.

  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Blue Jays' Josh Donaldson: Smashes grand slam Tuesday

    Donaldson went 3-for-4 with a grand slam, two doubles, three runs, five RBI and a walk Tuesday against the Phillies.

    After doubling in a run in the second inning, Donaldson's 15th bomb of the year was a grand slam that gave the Blue Jays a nine-run lead in a blowout win. After a slow start to the month, he's now hit safely in his last seven games to raise his slash line to .263/.375/.535.

  • Jace Peterson SS | ARI

    Braves' Jace Peterson: Is in lineup with Aybar scratch

    Peterson was added to the Braves lineup, playing second base and batting eighth against Cincinnati on Tuesday.

    Peterson was a late add, filling in for Erick Aybar who was scratched from the lineup for undisclosed reasons. Peterson has been reaching base with proficiency since his recall from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, finding his way onto the base paths in seven of his last 11 plate appearances.

  • Pedro Alvarez 3B | MIA

    Orioles' Pedro Alvarez: Gets day off Tuesday

    Alvarez is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.

    Alvarez blasted his seventh home run of the season Sunday, but he'll head to the bench with lefty David Price set to oppose to the Baltimore lineup. Mark Trumbo will serve as the club's DH on Tuesday with Joey Rickard manning right field.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Royals' Mike Moustakas: Transferred to 60-day DL

    Moustakas (knee) was transferred to the 60-day DL on Tuesday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

    Moustakas has already been ruled out for the remainder of 2016 after undergoing surgery to repair his torn ACL, so the move was purely a procedural one. Tyler Olson, who was claimed off waivers by the Royals earlier Tuesday, will fill in on the 40-man roster in a corresponding move and report to Triple-A Omaha.
