  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Tallies three hits, including homer

    Caminero went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk Monday in a 7-4 win over the Athletics.

    Caminero scored the first run of the game following a second-inning infield single, and he then plated himself with a big 419-foot blast in the seventh frame. The talented young third baseman has been on a power binge of late, going deep five times over his past five games. Caminero has tacked on eight RBI in that span, pushing him up to 81 runs batted in -- fifth-most in the American League -- on the campaign.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Goes deep in return to Houston

    Bregman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 loss against Houston.

    Bregman got things started early against his former team, launching a two-run homer into the Crawford Boxes in the top of the first inning. The third baseman has put together an excellent first season in Boston, posting a .923 OPS with 22 doubles, 15 homers and 48 RBI through 74 games.

  • Marcelo Mayer 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Starting baseball activities

    Mayer (wrist) is scheduled to play catch Monday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Mayer has been on the 10-day injured list since July 24 due to a sprained right wrist. He was recovering from the injury slower than expected, even after receiving an anti-inflammatory injection for his wrist Aug. 2, but he has progressed enough to start baseball activities. How Mayer's wrist responds to increased work will determine his timeline for a return to the majors this season.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Remains longshot to return in 2025

    Cabrera (ankle) said Monday that there's a "small window" for him to return this season, but it remains an unlikely proposition, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Cabrera underwent surgery in mid-May to repair a fracture and ligament damage in his left ankle. He has been walking around lately without the aid of a scooter or boot, but he cannot jog yet or perform baseball activities. Even if the Yankees manage to make a postseason run, it's likely Cabrera will be held out until next season.

  • Miguel Vargas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Takes part in BP

    Vargas (oblique) took batting practice Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Vargas relayed after the workout that he didn't feel hindered by his left oblique strain and said that he hopes to be activated from the 10-day injured list without going on a rehab assignment first. That decision will be up to the White Sox, but the team could grant Vargas' request since the 25-year-old has missed just over a week of action thus far. If Vargas does bypass a rehab assignment, he could return for this weekend's series in Kansas City.

  • Luis Rengifo 3B | LAA

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Homers again in loss

    Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Tigers.

    Rengifo doubled and scored in the sixth inning before homering for the second straight game in the eighth. The 28-year-old is riding a modest five-game hitting streak, which includes four multi-hit performances and four extra-base hits. On the season, he's slashing .252/.296/.353 with seven home runs, 29 RBI, 44 runs scored and four steals across 413 plate appearances.

  • Ernie Clement 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Comes up with clutch homer

    Clement went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers.

    Clement went yard for the third time in four games. His homer came in the ninth inning, just after the Blue Jays' bullpen coughed up a 4-3 lead, and Clement's long ball ended up being the difference in the game. The infielder has hit .333 (26-for-78) over his last 18 games, and with the recent power uptick, he appears to have shaken off the quiet stretch that defined his early July. For the season, Clement is at a .289/.323/.413 slash line with eight homers, 36 RBI, 63 runs scored, three stolen bases, 23 doubles and two triples over 117 contests.

  • Addison Barger 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Knocks homer in Sunday's win

    Barger went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers.

    Barger didn't start Saturday, going 0-for-1 off the bench. He's otherwise been strong in August, hitting .294 (10-for-34) with three homers and nine RBI over nine games this month. It's a continuation of a breakout year for the 25-year-old, who has carved out steady playing time between third base and right field. He's at a .267/.318/.511 slash line with 18 homers, 59 RBI, 52 runs scored and three stolen bases through 95 contests.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Odd man out of infield Sunday

    Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Moncada, who had stepped away from the Angels to take his U.S. citizenship test, wasn't in the lineup Friday after rejoining the team, but he started at third base in Saturday's 7-4 win, going 0-for-2 with a run scored. The 30-year-old will retreat to the bench Sunday and may have to split time at third base with Luis Rengifo now that Christian Moore is healthy and handling the keystone.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Getting Sunday off

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

    Lewis will get a well-deserved breather after he had started in each of the last 18 games. Ryan Fitzgerald will fill in at third base and bat ninth.
