Norby went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Angels.

Norby has been steady lately, hitting safely in 15 of his last 17 games. he's gone 21-for-61 (.344) in that span, adding seven extra-base hits and 10 RBI. The infielder has settled into a starting role at third base since returning from a season-opening oblique injury, posting a .288/.331/.450 slash line, three homers, 13 RBI, 17 runs scored and four stolen bases over 31 contests.

Caminero went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Caminero was responsible for all of the Rays' scoring Saturday, as he took Jose Berrios deep to left-center field for a three-run homer in the first inning, which are his first RBI since May 13. It was Caminero's ninth home run of the season, and the 21-year-old is slashing .239/.271/.699 with three steals and 23 RBI over 192 plate appearances.

Durbin went 3-for-3 with a double, an RBI and one caught stealing in Saturday's loss against the Pirates. He was also hit by a pitch.

Durbin's performance was a bright spot in an otherwise tough loss Saturday, as the rookie notched the first three-hit game of his young career. The 25-year-old has struggled overall, batting .210 with a .580 OPS over 105 at-bats, but he's currently riding a four-game hitting streak. Durbin continuing to flash the bat-to-ball skills he's shown in the minor leagues would be a major boost for a struggling Brewers lineup.

The Red Sox placed Bregman on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right quadriceps strain.

Bregman injured his right quad while rounding first base in the fifth inning of Friday's 19-5 win over Baltimore. Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Bregman is dealing with a "significant" strain similar to the one he sustained in 2021 with the Astros, which caused the veteran third baseman to miss over 50 games, per Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald. A similar timeline would put Bregman on pace to return in late July after the All-Star break, though the Red Sox should have a more clearer target date available for him once he's able to resume baseball activities. Boston called up infield prospect Marcelo Mayer from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move, and the youngster could get a look in an everyday role at third base while Bregman is on the shelf.

Vientos (abdomen) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Dodgers.

Abdominal soreness prevented Vientos from getting into Friday's contest, and he'll sit out again Saturday while he continues to recover. Brett Baty will start at third base in his absence, and Jared Young will serve as the DH.

The Red Sox are expected to place Bregman (quad) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Bregman was removed from Friday's game with right quad tightness while running to first base. That the Red Sox are planning to promote Marcelo Mayer in time for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Baltimore indicates Bregman, who was held out of the first game, appears destined for a stint on the injured list. Bregman's loss will be a blow to Boston, as he was hitting .299 with a .938 OPS through 51 games, but it gives the organization a chance to get a look at its top infield prospect.

Rosario (leg) will start at third base and bat second against the Giants on Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Saturday will be Rosario's first start since he received stitches to close a wound he suffered running into a table at the team's hotel last week. The 29-year-old will take the place of Jose Tena at the hot corner against southpaw Kyle Harrison.

Bregman (quad) is scheduled to undergo imaging Saturday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Bregman was removed from Friday's game due to right quad tightness and is not in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. Nick Sogard is starting at third base in the afternoon game.

Baty went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 7-5 extra-innings loss to the Dodgers.

Starting at third base and batting eighth, Baty took Matt Sauer deep in the third inning after play resumed following a lengthy rain delay. Baty has taken over a regular role in the Mets' lineup since returning to the majors earlier this month, and over his last 14 games he's slashing .275/.293/.650 with five of his six homers and 11 of his 15 RBI on the season.

Wagaman went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Angels.

Wagaman's solo shot in the seventh inning got the Marlins on the board, and he added a two-run single in the eighth. While the comeback effort fell short, the 27-year-old continues to swing a fairly hot bat. He's hit safely in six of the last seven games, going 11-for-28 (.393) in that span. For the season, he's up to a .253/.302/.398 slash line with four homers, 15 RBI, 20 runs scored, one stolen base, 10 doubles and a triple across 179 plate appearances. Wagaman likely won't sustain his recent success at the plate, but Miami's offense doesn't have enough impact players to create a significant threat to his playing time.
