  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Fills box score in win

    Jung went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI, a stolen base and a hit-by-pitch in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Yankees.

    Jung opened the scoring with a fourth-inning homer and contributed to the Rangers' comeback push with an RBI single in the eighth. The third baseman has gone 13-for-40 (.325) with two homers and three steals over his last 10 contests. That productive stretch has him up to a .276/.295/.455 slash line with six homers, four steals, 14 RBI and 16 runs scored through 34 games overall.

  • Addison Barger 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Battling knee issue

    Barger was removed from Tuesday's game against the Phillies due to left knee discomfort.

    Barger went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run before his knee caused him to come out of the game ahead of the seventh inning. There's no telling if he'll be available for Wednesday's contest, but an extended absence seems unlikely.

  • Miguel Vargas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Exits after collision

    Vargas was removed from Tuesday's game against the Orioles due to a right eye abrasion.

    Vargas suffered the injury on a collision with Andrew Benintendi while chasing down a pop fly during the second inning of Tuesday's contest. Should Vargas need to sit out Wednesday's game, Lenyn Sosa would be the favorite to pick up a start at third base.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Not expected to face Toronto

    Manager Rob Thomson said Tuesday that Bohm (hand) likely won't play during the Phillies' current series against the Blue Jays, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    The Phillies' skipper added that he doesn't expect Bohm to require a trip to the injured list, and he should be able to return to the lineup sometime during the team's upcoming series in Miami. The 28-year-old hasn't played since leaving Thursday's game against Atlanta due to inflammation in his left hand.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Held out again Tuesday

    Bohm (hand) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Bohm missed the final three games of the weekend series versus Atlanta and still isn't ready to play in the series opener in Toronto even after a team off day Monday. Edmundo Sosa will receive another start at third base for the Phillies.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Throwing sans cast

    Westburg (hand) did some throwing without a cast Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Westburg is almost five weeks removed from suffering a fractured right hand and has finally been able to ditch his cast. He'll continue to ramp up his activities and will likely require a short rehab assignment before being activated by the Orioles. A return in mid-September looks doable.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | COL

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Out against left-hander

    McMahon is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

    It's lefty Chris Sale on the bump for Atlanta, so it's a good spot for the left-handed hitting McMahon to get a breather. Aaron Schunk will play third base and bat ninth for the Rockies.

  • Rafael Devers 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Struggling since return

    Devers went 0-for-4 in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Mets.

    Devers worked through discomfort in his shoulders all season, and it may finally be taking its toll on him. Earlier in the season, rest served Devers well, but a three-game sabbatical at the end of Boston's recent homestand hasn't had a similar effect. He's 1-for-17 in four games since returning to the lineup.

  • Jazz Chisholm 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Tallies two more thefts

    Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a run, an RBI and two stolen bases in an 8-4 victory versus Texas on Monday.

    Chisholm singled home a run in the sixth inning and subsequently scored on a wild pitch, then laced a single in the eighth and proceeded to swipe both second and third base. It was the third baseman's second straight game with two steals, pushing him to 32 thefts on the campaign. Chisholm has been particularly active on the basepaths since joining the Yankees in late July, tallying 10 stolen bases over 24 games.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Hits another homer

    Suarez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two additional runs scored during Monday's 11-6 loss to the Dodgers.

    Suarez tagged Michael Petersen for a solo shot in the eighth inning, marking the third baseman's third long ball in the last four games. During that stretch, Suarez has gone 6-for-16 (.375) with six runs and seven RBI. He boasts a .758 OPS across 540 plate appearances this year.
