Suarez went 2-for-3 with a two-run double, two walks and a run in a win over the Yankees on Thursday.

Suarez played a key role in the Mariners' four-run first inning, plating Ty France and Teoscar Hernandez with his 10th double of the campaign. Suarez had been mired in a 4-for-25 funk over his previous seven games prior to Thursday's breakout, and after his timely two-bagger, he's now sporting a .333 batting average and .431 wOBA across 91 plate appearances with men in scoring position this season.

Bride went 1-for-1 with a walk before being replaced by pinch runner Tyler Wade in a loss to the Guardians on Thursday.

While his final line doesn't jump off the page, the fact Bride reached base twice after hitting .095 (2-for-21) over his previous nine games is encouraging. In fairness, the young infielder may have been running into bad luck during the skid, as his 20.0 percent line-drive rate should have netted much more than a .133 BABIP. Bride still sports some decent metrics despite his .222 batting average and .244 SLG, as a 12.3 percent walk rate has helped him to a .357 OBP, but Thursday marked his first start since June 17 and his luck may need to turn to earn more playing time.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a double in Thursday's win over the Giants. He also scored two runs.

Machado launched a three-run shot in the top of the third inning to give the Padres a commanding 6-0 lead, then came around to score a second time in the fifth after a leadoff double. The third baseman raised his batting average to .258 with the performance and has now recorded two hits in each of his last two contests, extending his modest hitting streak to six games. He's also batting .312 (24-for-77) this month to go along with four homers, 13 RBI and 11 runs scored after batting just .233 in May with one homer.

Peraza hasn't played since June 18 due to an apparent injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Peraza spent a little over two weeks with the Yankees before being placed on the IL with an ankle injury in early May. He was reinstated May 19 and immediately optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he has remained since. However, Peraza is now dealing with an apparent injury, though the organization hasn't disclosed the nature of the issue. According to Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune, Peraza has undergone some tests, and the team is hoping that he's dealing with nothing more than soreness.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs, an RBI and three stolen bases in Thursday's 6-5 win against Tampa Bay.

Garcia reached three times and took full advantage on the basepaths, swiping multiple bags for the first time as a big-leaguer. His speed was critical in creating the game-winning run, as he stole second and third after walking to lead off the ninth and came home to score on an infield single. Garcia's acumen as a base-stealer is easy to see -- he went 39-for-47 on theft attempts in the minors last year and is a perfect 10-for-10 in the majors this season. He's been swinging a hot bat of late, going 17-for-47 (.362) with a home run, four RBI, nine runs and five steals over his past 12 games.

Hayes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in a loss to Miami on Thursday.

Hayes accounted for Pittsburgh's final run of the contest, swatting a solo shot to left field in the eighth inning. The long ball was his fifth of the campaign and his first in his past 17 games. Thursday was just the fourth time this season that Hayes has notched multiple extra-base hits in a contest.

Riley went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a run during Thursday's extra-inning win against the Phillies.

Riley reached twice despite both teams entering the extra frame with just six combined hits amid a scoreless tie, and he added a two-run single -- thanks to a misplay from Kyle Schwarber in left field -- as part of Atlanta's five-run 10th inning. The 26-year-old is hitting .260 through 18 games in June but hasn't shown much pop with just four extra-base hits.

Segura (hamstring) started a running program Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Segura was placed on the injured list last week with a left hamstring strain, so it's encouraging that he is already back to running. Joey Wendle and Jon Berti have seen an uptick in playing time with Segura sidelined.

Mead (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League on Thursday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

One of the top hitters in the minors, Mead has not played since April 29 due to a wrist injury after getting hit by a pitch. Given the length of his absence, there may have been a broken bone in his hand/wrist. While Mead could still make his big-league debut this summer, he hadn't gotten off to a great start with Triple-A Durham prior to the injury, slashing .221/.286/.360 with two home runs in 22 games.

Chapman went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's victory over Miami.

Chapman led off the second inning with a double, which kick-started a five-run frame for Toronto as they jumped on Sandy Alcantara early. The third baseman then added a leadoff homer in the eighth, his 10th of the season, giving the Blue Jays a late insurance run. It was a nice showing for Chapman, who is still hitting just .206 in June after the two-hit performance, though he's recorded two hits and a walk in back-to-back games now.
