  • Addison Barger 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Smacks 17th homer

    Barger went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

    Starting at third base and batting cleanup, Barger went back-to-back with Vladimir Guerrero in the sixth inning to help blow the game open in a 10-4 victory. It was Barger's 17th homer of the year, but the 25-year-old has cooled down a little of late. Over the last 15 games, he's slashing .219/.275/.438 with a 29.0 percent strikeout rate, although he's also produced three long balls, 10 runs and 12 RBI.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: First homer since Seattle return

    Suarez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, a stolen base and a second run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the White Sox.

    This was Suarez's first homer (and second hit) over four games since he returned to Seattle. He's been slumping a bit, batting just .143 (7-for-49) over his last 13 games dating back to July 21 when he was still with Arizona, though four of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases. He's also racked up 19 strikeouts during the slump. The third baseman is at a .243/.314/.565 slash line with 37 homers, 89 RBI, 68 runs scored and two steals through 111 contests this season.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Placed on restricted list

    The Angels placed Moncada on the restricted list Tuesday.

    Moncada will be away from the team during Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay in order to take his U.S. citizenship test, per Erica Weston of Bally Sports West. He'll aim to rejoin the team ahead of Friday's series opener in Detroit. Meanwhile, the Angels will start Oswald Peraza at the hot corner and bring up Niko Kavadas from Triple-A Salt Lake to replace Moncada on the active roster.

  • Max Muncy 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: Not hitting yet

    Muncy (hand) has resumed baseball activities but has not been cleared to hit, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Muncy has been shelved since late July with a hairline fracture at the base of the fourth metacarpal in his right hand. The Athletics have not revealed a timetable for the infielder's return, but it would appear he's still at least a couple weeks away.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: On bench after walk-off homer

    Jung is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees.

    Jung returned to the lineup at designated hitter and hit a walk-off home run in the Rangers' win over the Yankees on Monday. However, he's not quite ready to play the field yet after missing four games with a calf issue, so Jung will yield DH duties Tuesday to Joc Pederson.

  • Ernie Clement 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Tallies five hits in blowout

    Clement went 5-for-6 with a double, a triple, three runs and an RBI in a 15-1 victory against the Rockies on Monday.

    Clement's first career five-hit game included a double and triple as he fell just a homer short of the cycle. The veteran infielder has now posted four multi-hit performances over his past six games and is batting a scorching .500 (12-for-24) during that span. Clement hasn't produced enough in the way of speed or power (five homers, three thefts over 112 games) to be a must-roster fantasy option, but he's been a solid table setter for Toronto with a .289 batting average and 57 runs scored on the season.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Blasts walk-off homer in return

    Jung went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-5 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

    After missing each of Texas' prior four games with a sore calf, Jung played the role of hero with a walk-off jack in his return Monday. It's been a disappointing campaign for Jung -- he has a .697 OPS in 2025 -- but he's begun to find a groove at the dish since the Rangers recalled him from the minor leagues. The third baseman is riding a 10-game hitting streak since returning from Triple-A Round Rock, during which he's slashing .382/.447/.647 with three homers and eight RBI covering 38 plate appearances.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Homers in loss

    Garcia went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-5 loss to the Red Sox.

    Garcia singled in the sixth inning and added a solo homer in the eighth. The 25-year-old has now hit safely in nine of his past 11 games, tallying five multi-hit efforts with seven extra-base hits, eight RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base in that span. For the season, he's slashing .298/.354/.470 with 11 home runs, 49 RBI, 51 runs scored and 20 steals across 458 plate appearances.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Taking seat Monday

    McMahon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

    McMahon will head to the bench for the first time since making his team debut July 26 and going 9-for-32 (.281average) with two doubles, five RBI and three runs through his first nine starts. Though he'll be taking a seat Monday while left-hander Patrick Corbin toes the rubber for the Rangers, the left-handed-hitting McMahon won't necessarily be used as a strict platoon player.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Forgoing surgery, aiming to return

    Astros general manager Dana Brown said Monday that Paredes received a platelet-rich plasma injection for his strained right hamstring and will treat the injury through rest and rehab in an attempt to return from the 10-day injured list later this season, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Brown noted that Paredes was given the option of undergoing surgery to address the severe hamstring strain or rehabbing the injury instead, and the 26-year-old opted for the latter route. Though surgery would likely provide a more permanent fix for his hamstring, a procedure would carry a recovery timeline of six-plus months, which would have put Paredes' availability for the start of the 2026 season in jeopardy. Even though Paredes will attempt to resume baseball activities once the PRP injection takes effect, the Astros' acquisitions of infielders Carlos Correa and Ramon Urias ahead of last week's trade deadline suggest that they aren't banking on Paredes providing much of a contribution down the stretch. The Astros are unlikely to put a timeline on Paredes' return from the IL until he begins taking part in full activities.
