  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Hits first home homer as Yankee

    McMahon went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run against Washington in an 11-2 win Wednesday.

    On a day when New York hit six long balls as a team, McMahon got in on the action with a three-run blast in the third inning. It was just the second homer McMahon has hit across 28 contests since being dealt to the Yankees on July 25, and this was his first one at home. The veteran third baseman hasn't done much with the bat since the trade, as he's posted a .649 OPS with a 32.0 percent strikeout rate during that 28-game stretch, though he's walked at a healthy 12.0 percent rate.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Extends hit streak to five

    Jung went 3-for-6 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 20-3 win over the Angels.

    Jung was about fifth on the list of offensive stars in the game, but the Rangers understand how important it is for the third baseman to get his groove back. A wrist injury that derailed him in 2024 has been followed by a season-long slump in 2025, when he was demoted to the minors for a stretch in July. Wednesday was his sixth straight start after getting a four-game breather last week to reset. The three-hit performance extended a hit streak to five games, during which Jung has gone 9-for-23 (.391) with a home run, a double and four RBI.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Homers again Wednesday

    Suarez went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer, a stolen base and a second run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Padres.

    After scoring the game's opening run on a Luke Raley double in the second inning, Suarez extended Seattle's lead to 4-0 with his 42nd homer this season, a 382-foot shot off Yu Darvish. Suarez has now homered in back-to-back games after going 0-for-8 in his previous three contests. Overall, he's slashing .237/.309/.549 with 104 RBI, 78 runs scored and four stolen bases across 537 plate appearances between the Mariners and Diamondbacks this year.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Idle against lefty again

    Moncada is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    The Angels will hold the switch-hitting Moncada out of the lineup for a second straight game while the Halos face off against another lefty starter (Jacob Latz). Luis Rengifo will pick up the start at third base, but Moncada should continue to serve as the top option at the position when the Angels face right-handed pitchers.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Day-to-day with hairline fracture

    Clement has been diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his left middle finger and also received 10 stitches in his left shin as a result of a collision at third base in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Twins, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Clement is out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale, but he's considered day-to-day, and the Blue Jays have no current plans to put him on the 10-day injured list. The belief is that Clement won't do any further damage by playing through the finger injury, so his availability will come down to a matter of pain tolerance. Addison Barger will start at third base Wednesday in place of Clement, who could return to action for the weekend series with the Brewers following Thursday's team off day.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Out of Toronto lineup

    Clement is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Twins.

    Clement has reached base four times in the first two games of the series, but before that, he had been stuck in a 3-for-37 slump at the plate. He'll begin Wednesday's series finale on the bench while Addison Barger mans third base.

  • Vimael Machin 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Vimael Machin: Scrubbed from 40-man roster

    The Orioles designated Machin for assignment Wednesday.

    Machin saw a bit of playing time at third base in the Orioles' initial games without Jordan Westburg (ankle), going 1-for-11 with a home run following his promotion from Triple-A Norfolk last Friday. However, Machin didn't make a strong enough impression to earn a long-term stay in Baltimore, and he'll be replaced on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster by infielder Emmanuel Rivera, who was called up from Norfolk.

  • Orioles' Emmanuel Rivera: Back in big leagues

    The Orioles selected Rivera's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

    Rivera has been up and down multiple times between Norfolk and Baltimore this season, slashing only .229/.299/.271 over 26 games with the big club. He could see a decent amount of playing time at third base while Jordan Westburg (ankle) is on the injured list.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Receiving Wednesday off

    Ramirez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    The Guardians are leaving Ramirez out of the starting nine for just the fourth occasion all season and for the first time since June 27. Ramirez's absence appears to be little more than a routine breather, as the Guardians are closing out the series with a day game after a night game before beginning a stretch of 17 games in 17 days following Thursday's off day.

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Reaches three times in loss

    McKinstry went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Athletics.

    McKinstry has been on a nice run lately, as he's batting .323 over his last 10 games with a home run, two stolen bases, four RBI and five runs scored. The veteran utility player has had a strong year overall, slashing .265/.342/.448 across 120 contests. It's been a big offensive jump for McKinstry, who has a career slash line of just .232/.300/.381 in six MLB seasons.
