McKinstry went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 12-2 rout of the Diamondbacks.

The utility infielder smashed a two-run homer off Brandon Pfaadt in the fifth inning, one of three Detroit long balls in the frame. It was McKinstry's first multi-hit performance since July 9, ending a 12-game slump in which he's gone just 4-for-36 (.111). That downturn has put only a small dent in his career-best campaign, however, as the 30-year-old is still slashing .268/.349/.449 with nine homers, 16 steals, 36 RBI and 51 runs in 368 plate appearances.

Urias went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in a 16-4 win over the Blue Jays in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

The veteran infielder went yard in the sixth and seventh innings as the Orioles broke open what had been a tight game to that point. Urias followed up his performance in the matinee by going 1-for-4 with an RBI in the nightcap, a 3-2 victory that completed the sweep. Urias started at third base in both contests with Toronto sending lefties Easton Lucas and Eric Lauer to the mound, and he should remain effective in a short-side platoon role given his .278/.338/.403 slash line against southpaws this season. However, six of his eight homers on the year have come against righties, including both of Tuesday's blasts.

Paredes could require season-ending surgery to repair his injured right hamstring, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Paredes was placed on the 10-day injured list July 20 with a strained right hamstring, with Astros manager Joe Espada calling the injury "pretty significant." The third baseman is slated to receive a second opinion before making a decision on how to treat the injury, but surgery is evidently one of the possibilities. With Paredes' status for the rest of the season in doubt, Nightengale says the Astros are mulling trades for Carlos Correa, Nolan Arenado and Eugenio Suarez. Mauricio Dubon has been serving as the team's primary third baseman since Paredes went down.

Suarez (finger) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game versus the Tigers.

Suarez exited Monday's 5-1 loss after being hit on the right index finger with a pitch, but test results ruled out a fracture, and he's back in the lineup after missing only one game. An impending free agent, Suarez is highly likely to be traded before Thursday's deadline.

Barger went 3-for-8 with a double and a two-run home run across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader as the Blue Jays got swept by the Orioles.

The 25-year-old did his best to try and earn his team at least a split, homering in the matinee off Charlie Morton before ripping a one-out double in the eighth inning of the nightcap with the score tied 2-2, only to get stranded. Barger is slashing .294/.321/.529 over 13 games since the All-Star break with seven extra-base hits (four doubles, one triple and two homers), seven runs and 10 RBI.

Bohm (ribs) took dry swings, hit off a practice tee and fielded groundballs prior to Tuesday's game against the White Sox, per MLB.com.

Bohm also ran and threw among the other baseball activities, which is an encouraging sign in his recovery from a fractured left rib. The corner infielder remains without a definitive timetable for a return to Philadelphia's roster, but it's possible his absence will extend into mid-August. In the meantime, Otto Kemp should continue to serve as the Phillies' primary third baseman.

Muncy (knee) played six innings at third base for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts.

Muncy may have had a little rust -- he also committed a fielding error -- in his first game action since July 2, but this was nonetheless a big step toward a return to the major-league club. The veteran third baseman was initially projected to be out at least six weeks when he landed on the IL, but he now appears set to beat that timeframe by a considerable margin. According to Sonja Chen of MLB.com, Muncy will likely be activated for the start of the Dodgers' next homestand, which begins Monday, Aug. 4 against St. Louis.

Machado went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Mets.

Machado came up short of a multi-hit effort for the first time in seven games, but his one knock was a big one that provided the last runs of the contest in the seventh inning. During his hot stretch, the third baseman has gone 16-for-29 (.552) with six extra-base hits and nine RBI. Machado has reached the 20-homer mark for the 10th straight full-length season and has added a .301/.361/.511 slash line, 69 RBI, 64 runs scored and nine stolen bases through 108 games this season. His production so far gives him a chance to challenge for 30 homers and 100 RBI by the end of the campaign.

Lee went 3-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's loss to Boston.

Lee came off the bench for Carlos Correa (illness) and delivered an offensive outburst. Lee put the Twins on the board with an RBI single in the fifth inning before knocking a pair of two-run homers in the seventh and ninth frames. It was his first career multi-homer performance and snapped a 23-game homer drought. During that skid, he went 11-for-70 (.157). Lee's five-RBI day matched his total from the previous 17 games combined. He's now slashing .256/.294/.387 with 20 extra-base hits and 43 RBI through 326 plate appearances.

Pauley went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Cardinals.

Pauley belted his first homer of the season, and he recorded his first RBI since April 19. With Connor Norby (wrist) still likely to be sidelined for about another month, Pauley should have a clearer path to reps at third base for the time being. That said, Pauley is slashing just .224/.288/.318 with seven doubles, seven RBI and one stolen base over his 119 plate appearances.
