Maikel Garcia 3B | KC
Royals' Maikel Garcia: Drives in three, swipes fifth bag
Garcia went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-0 win over Houston.
Garcia got the Royals on the board early with an RBI single in the first inning before delivering a two-run double in the third. He also stole his fifth base of the season in the opening frame. The infielder has been productive of late, driving in eight runs over his last 10 games. On the season, Garcia is slashing .268/.326/.382 with three home runs, 16 doubles, two triples, 28 RBI and 32 runs scored across 279 plate appearances.

Donovan Walton 3B | LAA
Angels' Donovan Walton: Swats first homer in loss
Walton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run before being pinch hit for in the eighth inning of Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay.
Walton drew the start at designated hitter and came through with his first homer of the season in a lefty-lefty matchup against Ian Seymour in the fifth inning. The infielder has received sporadic playing time, but he has generally been productive when called upon in a small sample size. Walton is hitting .296 with a .759 OPS, five extra-base hits, four RBI and nine runs scored across 58 plate appearances in 2026.

Junior Caminero 3B | TB
Rays' Junior Caminero: Clubs 15th homer
Caminero went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Angels.
Caminero's lone hit was a significant one, as he launched a two-run homer to left field to give the Rays the lead in the eighth inning. So far in June, the third baseman is hitting .239/.340/.435 with two homers, three doubles, four RBI and eight runs scored in 12 appearances. Overall, the 22-year-old is slashing .271/.370/.488 with 15 homers, 11 doubles, 32 RBI and 42 runs scored across 68 games this season.

Max Muncy 3B | ATH
Athletics' Max Muncy: Homers in Sunday's loss
Muncy went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Rockies.
Muncy has started five of six games at third base since returning from a broken hand Monday. He has gone 4-for-18 (.222) with seven RBI in those contests. For the season, the infielder is batting .236 with a .707 OPS, three homers, 14 RBI, 18 runs scored, six doubles, two triples and two stolen bases over 31 games. With Muncy working his way back to regular status in the lineup, it appears Zack Gelof will primarily compete with Jeff McNeil for playing time at second base, though all but one of Muncy's starts since his return have come against southpaws.

Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU
Astros' Isaac Paredes: Receiving afternoon off
Paredes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
Raynel Delgado will make his first career MLB start while covering at third base in place of Paredes, who appears to be receiving a routine day off. Paredes had started 15 straight games, slashing .192/.333/.500 with four home runs, 13 RBI and nine runs during that stretch.

Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA
Mariners' Patrick Wisdom: Back in bench role
Wisdom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
After making five consecutive starts and going 2-for-18 with two walks and a run, Wisdom has been relegated to the bench for the Mariners' subsequent four contests. Miles Mastrobuoni has been the main option at third base since coming off the 60-day injured list Wednesday, but he'll shift into a utility role once J.P. Crawford (hand) makes his return from the 10-day IL on Tuesday. When Crawford gets activated, Wisdom could be at risk of being pushed off the roster.

Miles Mastrobuoni 3B | SEA
Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: Drawing fifth straight start
Mastrobuoni will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Nationals.
Since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Mastrobuoni has gotten five straight starts (four at third base, one at second) while going 3-for-13 with a walk, a stolen base, two runs and an RBI. His run of regular playing time will likely come to an end Tuesday, however, with J.P. Crawford (hand) set to return from the 10-day IL and bump Mastrobuoni into a utility role.
-
Coby Mayo 3B | BAL
Orioles' Coby Mayo: Slipping into timeshare
Mayo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Mayo will be on the bench for the third time in five games, with the Orioles having faced right-handed pitchers in each of those contests. He appears to have faded into a timeshare at the position with Blaze Alexander, who will receive the starting nod Sunday. Since the beginning of June, Mayo has slugged three home runs, but he's hitting just .184 and has struck out a 43.6 percent clip.

Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Lands on IL with hamate fracture
The Guardians placed Ramirez (hand) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
The move was a foregone conclusion after the seven-time All-Star was diagnosed with a left hamate bone fracture following Saturday's game. Cleveland reinstated Gabriel Arias (wrist) from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move, and he and Daniel Schneemann are likely to be the primary options at third base while Ramirez is sidelined. The Guardians haven't provided an official target date for Ramirez's return, but recovery timelines for hamate bone fractures typically range from four to eight weeks.

Royce Lewis 3B | MIN
Twins' Royce Lewis: Keeps raking Saturday
Lewis went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Cardinals.
The 27-year-old continues to rake since returning to the majors in early June. After an 0-for-3 showing in his first game back, Lewis has hit safely in six straight contests, batting .435 (10-for-23) with two doubles, three homers, four runs and four RBI. Five of those seven starts have come at first base, and that appears to be Lewis' new defensive home while Brooks Lee remains at third base.
