  • Brooks Lee SS | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Hitting bench Sunday

    Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Lee had picked up starts in each of the last three contests, but he'll take a seat for the series finale with the Pirates. Carlos Correa (ankle) will return from a one-game absence to start at shortstop, while super-utility man Willi Castro will step in at second base as Harrison Bader enters the starting nine in left field.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | MIL

    Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Getting day off

    Durbin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Anthony Seigler will check in at third base while Durbin rests for the series finale. Durbin had started in each of Milwaukee's last three games, going 5-for-10 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: On bench against lefty

    Baty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    Baty was included in the lineup Saturday while southpaw Angel Zerpa opened the game for Kansas City, but the young infielder will head to the bench Sunday against lefty starter Noah Cameron. Luisangel Acuna will replace Baty at second base and will bat ninth.

  • Graham Pauley 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Graham Pauley: Moves up to majors

    The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday. He'll start at third base and bat eighth in the Marlins' series finale versus the Orioles.

    The 24-year-old will fill in for Connor Norby (wrist), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. While Norby is on the shelf, Pauley could end up seeing the bulk of the stars at the hot corner, though the Marlins may shield him from left-handed pitching. Pauley posted a poor .545 OPS In 89 plate appearances with Miami earlier this season but had been sporting a hot bat at Triple-A prior to his latest call-up, slashing .395/.452/.789 with four home runs over his last 10 games for Jacksonville.

  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Shelved with wrist inflammation

    The Marlins placed Norby on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to left wrist inflammation.

    Norby was held out of Saturday's lineup due to the injury and now won't be eligible for activation until July 22. In a corresponding move, the Marlins recalled infielder Graham Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville, and he could see the bulk of the starts at third base while Norby is out. The Marlins could also use Javier Sanoja on the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Pauley.

  • Matt Shaw SS | CHC

    Cubs' Matt Shaw: Benched for third straight game

    Shaw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Shaw will close out of the Cubs' first-half schedule having been held out of the lineup for three consecutive games and four of the last five, and he's managed just one hit in 26 at-bats to begin July. Vidal Brujan will get the start at third base after Jon Berti filled in for Shaw over the past two contests, but the Cubs may look to the trade market for an upgrade at the position if the organization isn't convinced that Shaw will be able to improve his offensive production coming out of the All-Star break.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Goes yard twice in loss

    Suarez went 2-for-3 with a walk, two solo home runs and a third run scored in Saturday's 10-5 loss to the Angels.

    The slugging third baseman took Yusei Kikuchi deep in the second and fourth inning, but those were the only runs the Arizona offense produced until the game was well out of hand. Suarez is up to 31 homers on the season in only 94 contests, already eclipsing the 30 long balls he launched in 2024, and the 33-year-old is on pace to top the career-best 49 home runs he delivered in 2019 with the Reds.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Swipes three bags

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with one RBI, one run scored and three stolen bases in Saturday's 6-2 win over the White Sox.

    Ramirez swiped three bases for the second time this season, with the other such performance coming May 12. While he recorded just one hit in the game, the star third baseman has been locked in at the plate lately, slashing .303/.439/.788 with five homers and 10 RBI over his past nine games after a cold stretch to close June and start July. On the season, he's slashing .297/.367/.510 with 18 home runs, 17 doubles, 29 steals and 48 RBI across 91 games.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Unlikely to play Sunday

    Phillies manager Rob Thomson said after Saturday's 5-4 loss to San Diego that Bohm (ribs) is doubtful to play in Sunday's series finale, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Bohm was hit by a pitch in the left ribs during the second inning Saturday, though he was able to stay in the game for another two frames. Thomson said after the contest that Bohm didn't get an MRI, but he explained that Bohm is "pretty sore," adding that the injury may have affected the third baseman's swing. Sunday is the final game of the first half for Philadelphia, so if Bohm sits out, he'll have five full days to recover before the start of the second half Friday. Edmundo Sosa took over at third base following Bohm's exit and could start at the hot corner Sunday.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Exits game with bruised rib

    Bohm was pulled from Saturday's contest against San Diego due to a bruised left rib, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Bohm was plunked by a pitch in the ribs in the second inning but initially remained in the contest, and he even rounded the bases to score in that frame. He had another at-bat in the third but was replaced defensively by Edmundo Sosa in the bottom of the fourth frame. Given that he wasn't yanked immediately, Bohm may not be dealing with a major injury, though the Phillies could opt to hold him out of the lineup Sunday to give him ample time to recover given that it's the final game before the All-Star break.
