Ramirez went 2-for-2 with a double, two walks and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.
Ramirez is 5-for-16 (.313) over his last four games, and four of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases. He also drew his first walks since April 15. The third baseman is slashing a solid .271/.357/.479 with three home runs, 16 RBI, 12 runs scored and four stolen bases over 25 contests.

Jace Peterson SS | ARI
Athletics' Jace Peterson: Out against southpaw

Ramon Urias 3B | STL
Orioles' Ramon Urias: Four hits in win
Urias went 4-for-4 with an RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's victory over Boston.
Urias had an impressive series against the Red Sox, going 7-for-11 with three RBI and five runs scored. Through his first 75 plate appearances this season, Urias is slashing .292/.387/.415 with a home run, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored. He's been playing regularly between second and third base for Baltimore, though the 28-year-old infielder has yet to offer much in the way of power or speed this year. However, Urias has demonstrated some home run potential in the past -- he hit 16 homers in 403 at-bats last season.

Jose Miranda 3B | MIN
Twins' Jose Miranda: Hits first two homers of season
Miranda went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 12-6 loss to the Yankees.
Miranda's first homer of the season cut the Yankees' lead to 5-1 in the second, and his second, a two-run blast, made it 11-3 in the fourth. The 25-year-old came into the contest slashing just .226/.287/.247, so his first two homers of the season could be a sign of better things to come. Either way, Miranda has appeared in 24 of Minnesota's first 25 games, so he appears to be an everyday player in his second big-league campaign.

Max Muncy 3B | LAD
Dodgers' Max Muncy: Expected to return Friday
Muncy (personal) is expected to rejoin the Dodgers on Friday against the Cardinals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Muncy will be joined by Brusdar Graterol in rejoining the club after being placed on the paternity list. In 90 plate appearances over 22 games, Muncy has hit a league-leading 11 homers while forging a 1.129 OPS.

Nick Senzel 3B | LAD
Reds' Nick Senzel: Blasts walkoff Wednesday
Senzel went 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBI, two runs scored and a steal in Wednesday's win over Texas.
Senzel smacked a two-run home run off Jonathan Hernandez in the bottom of the ninth, his first long ball of the season, giving the Reds a 5-3 win and a sweep of the Rangers. Senzel also logged a base hit in the fifth inning before stealing his second bag of the year. He was initially scheduled to get Wednesday's game off, though Sentzel took over at third base when Wil Myers (illness) was scratched. The 28-year-old Senzel is now 5-for-8 with four RBI in his last two games. He's slashing .227/.292/.318 with seven RBI and eight runs scored through 48 plate appearances.

Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU
Rays' Isaac Paredes: Getting Wednesday off
Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Paredes will take a seat after he started in each of the previous three games while reaching base five times in 12 plate appearances during that stretch. Though Paredes is locked in as the Rays' primary third baseman, he's still expected to sit at least once or twice per week while manager Kevin Cash looks to keep utility man Taylor Walls and his hot bat involved.

Edmundo Sosa LF | PHI
Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Making fifth straight start
Sosa is in the Phillies' lineup Wednesday versus the Mariners for the fifth straight game, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia Philadelphia reports.
It's also Sosa's third straight start against a right-hander. The Phillies' injuries are part of the equation, but Sosa has earned the playing time by batting .311/.333/.578 with three home runs. Sosa's emergence at third base has meant a shift over to first base for Alec Bohm.

Brett Baty 3B | NYM
Mets' Brett Baty: Takes seat Wednesday
Baty is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
The Mets are still choosing to hold out the lefty-hitting Baty against southpaws, so he'll give way to Eduardo Escobar at third base with lefty MacKenzie Gore on the hill for Washington. Baty has collected six hits and a pair of RBI through 25 plate appearances this season.
