Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Saturday against the Marlins.

Reynolds delivered an RBI double in the third inning to give the Pirates the lead and extend his hitting streak to five games. He has two doubles and a home run in that span, continuing a resurgent season. Reynolds is on pace to top both 80 RBI and 80 runs scored thanks to a .265 batting average and .386 OBP across 306 plate appearances.

Fairchild started in center field and went 2-for-2 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 win over Detroit. He was also hit by a pitch.

Fairchild had to move mid-game, from center to right field, when Chase DeLauter (ribs) was removed. Later, Angel Martinez (foot) made an early exit. Fairchild's been used sparingly since his contract was selected from Triple-A Columbus at the end of May, but if DeLauter and/or Martinez need extended absences, Fairchild would see an uptick in playing time.

Duran hit a solo home run in his only plate appearance during Saturday's 9-3 win against the Orioles.

Freddy Fermin started behind the plate but had to leave after taking a warm-up pitch from Yuki Matsui to the head area in the sixth inning. Duran finished out the contest and took Albert Suarez deep in the eighth. Luis Campusano remains on the IL due to a toe injury, so if Fermin needs to miss additional time, Duran figures to take over as the Padres' primary catcher.

Rumfield went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the A's.

Rumfield hit doubles in consecutive plate appearances in the fourth and fifth innings, marking his third straight game with an extra-base hit. After slumping to start June, Rumfield is in the midst of a four-game hitting streak, during which he has gone 7-for-14 with three RBI and three runs scored.

Machado went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 9-3 win against Baltimore on Saturday.

San Diego belted five homers as a team, and Machado capped the long-ball fest with a 429-foot shot to center field in the ninth inning. The star third baseman is still trying to climb out of an early hole and remains saddled with a poor .178/.255/.364 slash line on the campaign. However, Machado does lead San Diego with 12 home runs and 35 RBI, and he's showing signs of busting out of the season-long slump. Over his past four contests, he's gone 6-for-18 with five extra-base hits (four doubles and a homer) along with three RBI.

Schneemann is the most likely candidate to fill in at third base after Jose Ramirez suffered a fractured left hamate bone Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

The utility player had already entered Saturday's game for injured outfielder Chase DeLauter (ribs) but moved to the hot corner after Ramirez exited. Schneemann's the most likely candidate to cover for Ramirez, having made 43 career starts and 63 appearances at third base. David Fry is another option, but he's handled only 18 career innings at the hot corner. If Guardians manager Stephen Vogt wants to leave Schneemann in a more versatile role -- which the manager values -- the team could bring Gabriel Arias (hamstring) off the 60-day IL to mix in at third base as well.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 3-1 victory versus Toronto on Saturday.

The score was tied 1-1 when Goldschmidt came to the plate in the top of the ninth and drove a Louis Varland offspeed pitch over the left-field wall to provide the decisive runs for the Yankees. Goldschmidt extended his hitting streak to six games with the blast, and he's slashing .375/.407/.625 with two homers and eight RBI during that stretch. With Aaron Judge (ribs), Giancarlo Stanton (calf) and Trent Grisham (hamstring) all on the injured list, Goldschmidt's role in New York's offense has taken on extra significance. He's been a regular in the lineup since mid-May and has stepped up with an .889 OPS, nine homers, 31 RBI, 24 runs and a stolen base over 170 plate appearances on the campaign.

Johnston went 2-for-3 with an RBI on Saturday against the Athletics.

Johnston delivered an RBI single in the fourth inning and tallied another base knock four frames later before getting pulled for a pinch runner. It was his sixth multi-hit performance in his last 12 games, and Johnston has hit .348 with seven RBI and five runs scored in that span. He has an impressive .316 batting average across 249 plate appearances for the campaign.

Jansen pitched a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Guardians.

Jansen was reinstated Friday after landing on the injured list in late May due to right pelvic inflammation, and he looked good in his first game action since returning. The veteran reliever had blown four saves and seen his ERA climb to 4.80 before getting shut down, but it's possible he wasn't quite right mechanically. Now that he's had time to rest and recover, Jansen should slot back in as Detroit's closer, and he can still be an effective pitcher at this stage of his long career when healthy, as he demonstrated last season with a 2.59 ERA and 0.95 WHIP across 59 innings with the Angels.

Arias (hamstring) is one option to fill in at third base after Jose Ramirez suffered a fractured left hamate bone Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Arias is currently on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus, where he's being prepared for a utility role, including one game at third base. Daniel Schneemann and David Fry are also possibilities on the current roster. Arias can be activated off the 60-day IL at any point.
