MLB Player News

Rendon (shin) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Padres, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon had to be lifted from Tuesday's game in San Diego due to a left shin contusion after fouling a ball off his leg. The good news is X-rays came back clean and Rendon is still listed on the Angels' lineup card as a reserve, so it appears he'll avoid the injured list. Eduardo Escobar is playing third base Wednesday.

Madrigal underwent imaging scans Wednesday which revealed a moderate right hamstring strain, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Madrigal was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday and won't be cleared to resume baseball activities until the strain is fully healed. He's eligible to be activated right after the All-Star break, but it sounds like his absence could extend into late July. Christopher Morel and Patrick Wisdom are expected to share playing time at third base for the Cubs in the meantime.

Burger is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Zach Remillard will start at third base and bat eighth versus the Jays and right-hander Jose Berrios. Burger was a great surprise for the White Sox over the first two months of the 2023 season, but he is batting just .150 with a .620 OPS in 109 plate appearances since the beginning of June.

Milwaukee activated Anderson (personal) from the paternity leave list Wednesday.

Anderson was away from the Brewers for a couple of days as he welcomed a new addition to his growing family. The 30-year-old returns Wednesday to a .227/.318/.374 batting line with nine home runs and 37 RBI through 80 games.

Peterson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

The lefty-hitting Peterson will give way to Aledmys Diaz at third base while southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez takes the bump for Detroit. Peterson -- who also sat Tuesday against lefty Tarik Skubal -- is slashing just .171/.222/.171 in 46 plate appearances versus southpaws in 2023.

Miranda is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Royals.

Miranda started each of the last three days at third base after coming up to take Royce Lewis' (oblique) roster spot but went hitless in each game. He'll now take a seat for this one in favor of Donovan Solano.

Segura went 2-for-3 with two walks, a run scored and a steal in Tuesday's victory over St. Louis.

Segura now has hits in six out of seven games since returning from the IL. He's gone 8-for-26 (.308) with a home run in that span. The 33-year-old Segura is slashing .203/.273/.255 with two homers, 20 runs scored, 14 RBI and six stolen bases across 254 plate appearances this season.

Senzel started in right field and went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 8-4 win over Washington.

Senzel, making his first start since June 26 in Baltimore, gave the Reds a 5-0 lead in the third inning with his sixth home run of the season. He's been lost in the shuffle as an influx of young prospects pushed him to the bench. In addition to the competition, Senzel's playing time took a hit due to an unproductive bat. He batted just .143 (6-for-42) with two RBI and a .448 OPS for the month of June.

Jung batted third and went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-2 win over Boston.

Jung and Nathaniel Lowe were switched in the batting order, and the rookie third baseman produced a second straight multi-hit game. He has hits in seven of the last eight games, going 10-for-32 with two doubles, two home runs and seven RBI during that stretch. Manager Bruce Bochy has toyed around with Jung hitting third -- Tuesday was the fourth time in the last 15 games -- but the manager hasn't made it a permanent fixture.

Machado went 3-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's victory over the Angels.

Machado delivered his third multi-hit effort in his past four contests, and it's also his sixth three-hit game of the season. The 31-year-old largely hasn't looked himself at the plate this year with a .254/.296/.414 slash line, though he's performed better over his past 27 games with a .301 average, six homers, 19 RBI and 18 runs.
