Chapman went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Tigers.

Chapman lined a double into left field during the second inning before coming around to score. He added another double to left during the fourth as well. The third baseman logged a three-hit performance for the second time this season, marking his first multi-hit effort since May 16. Chapman is now slashing .224/.342/.408 with 29 runs scored, 25 RBI, nine homers, nine doubles, five stolen bases and a 24.7 percent strikeout rate across 231 plate appearances this season.

Vientos went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run during Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the White Sox.

Vientos took Shane Smith yard in the second inning, plating Brandon Nimmo and Brett Baty to get the Mets on the board. The long ball was Vientos' sixth of the campaign, and his second of May. Vientos is still in the midst of a slump, as he's 5-for-28 with 11 strikeouts over his last 10 games.

Durbin went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

The rookie infielder had multiple extra-base hits in the same game for the first time in his career, but it was Durbin's walk-off sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th inning that was the decisive blow. After a 4-for-45 (.089) slump to begin the month of May, Durbin seems to be finding his groove, going 11-for-36 (.306) over the last 10 games with five doubles, three steals, four runs and eight RBI.

Caminero went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's 5-0 win over Minnesota.

Caminero extended Tampa's lead to 3-0 in the fourth inning with a 406-foot shot off Pablo Lopez, his 10th homer of the year. Caminero's been swinging the bat well of late -- he now has four multi-hit performances in his last six games, going 9-for-23 (.391) with a pair of homers and six RBI in that span. Overall, the 21-year-old is slashing .249/.278/.452 with 26 RBI, 24 runs scored and three stolen bases across 209 plate appearances this season.

Lopez agreed to a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

The veteran infielder was let go by the Cubs last week, and it didn't take long for him to latch on with a new team. Lopez has gone 1-for-24 in 19 games between the Cubs and Angels this season and isn't likely to be a significant contributor even if he's added to the Diamondbacks' big-league roster.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Yankees on Tuesday.

The Angels entered the ninth inning on the verge of being shut out, but Moncada got the team on the board with a solo blast off Devin Williams. The long ball was his first extra-base hit over his past four games, a stretch in which he's gone 2-for-14 at the plate. Moncada continues to work as the Angels' primary third baseman, and despite a .222 batting average, he's done some positive things at the plate, including recording five homers and 18 RBI along with a 12.6 percent walk rate over 27 contests.

Vargas went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Mets.

The 25-year-old gave the White Sox a quick lead with a two-run homer in the first-inning off Tylor Megill, but Jonathan Cannon squandered it in the bottom of the frame and Chicago never recovered. Vargas has banged out an extra-base hit in four straight games, and over his last 14 contests he's slashing a dazzling .310/.328/.724 with six doubles and six home runs among his 18 hits.

Shaw went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a run scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over Colorado.

Shaw's second hit of the day ended the game in the bottom of the 11th inning, bringing across Jon Berti with the winning run. The rookie infielder has been much better in his second stint in the majors, slashing .355/.412/.516 with four steals in eight games since getting recalled from Triple-A Iowa on May 19. Shaw should remain Chicago's primary third baseman as long as he's productive at the plate.

Peraza went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and walk in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Angels.

The utilityman crushed a line-drive homer to center field off Hector Neris in the seventh inning, providing a key insurance run that helped secure the win. It's been tough sledding for the 24-year-old, who's slashing just .203/.283/.322 with eight extra-base hits over 79 at-bats this season. The injury to third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera on May 12 opened up more playing time for Peraza, but he hasn't capitalized on the opportunity. Tuesday's home run was a positive sign, but the Yankees will likely continue exploring both internal and external options to maximize production at the hot corner.

Jung went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Toronto.

Although Jung's seven-game hitting streak came to an end Monday, he got back into the RBI column for the first time in his last eight outings Tuesday. The 27-year-old third baseman has been a key cog in Texas' lineup this season, and he's batting a strong .306 (22-for-72) with five home runs, two doubles, 11 RBI and 10 runs scored over his last 20 games. Jung's stolen base was his fourth of the year, so he's providing a decent combination of pop and speed at the hot corner.
