Amed Rosario 3B | NYY
Yankees' Amed Rosario: Goes yard in defeat
Rosario went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-2 extra-innings loss the Tigers.
Rosario went deep for the third time in his past eight games Wednesday. The veteran utility man has started seven consecutive games for the banged-up Yankees, but he could get squeezed for playing time once Trent Grisham (hamstring) and Ryan McMahon (illness) come off the injured list. Through 153 plate appearances, Rosario is slashing .250/.294/.486 with nine homers, four doubles, 27 RBI and 20 runs scored.

Rays' Junior Caminero: Extends homer streak to six games
Caminero went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Royals.
Caminero put the Rays ahead early with his two-run, 425-foot blast off Seth Lugo in the first inning. Caminero has now gone deep in six straight games, tying a Rays franchise record, while going 14-for-31 (.452) with nine homers in his last eight contests. The 22-year-old third baseman is now slashing .293/.383/.561 with 24 homers, 54 RBI and 54 runs scored across 363 plate appearances this season.

Raynel Delgado 3B | HOU
Astros' Raynel Delgado: Exits with injury
Delgado was removed from Wednesday's game against Minnesota due to a dislocated pinky on his right hand.
A groundball off the bat of Trevor Larnach bounced off of second base and connected with Delgado's right hand, forcing the latter to come out of the game in the fifth inning. It's unclear if the injury to his throwing hand will require a trip to the injured list.

Luke Hill 3B | CLE
Guardians' Luke Hill: Shelved with oblique strain
Double-A Akron placed Hill on its 7-day injured list Tuesday due to a right oblique strain.
Hill hadn't played since last Wednesday due to the injury, and Akron could opt to hold him out through the All-Star break to give him extra time to heal. The 22-year-old has slashed .224/.288/.388 with one home run and three stolen bases over 73 plate appearances at Akron since receiving a promotion from High-A Lake County on June 2.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Scratched from rehab game
McMahon (illness) is dealing with food poisoning and will no longer play a rehab game Wednesday with Double-A Somerset, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
The goal is for McMahon to play in Thursday's game instead, and if he feels well, he will still return from the 10-day injured list Friday. McMahon landed on the IL last week with a throat and ear infection.

Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Stitches removed
Ramirez had stitches removed from his left hand Tuesday and could soon begin swinging a bat as the next step in his rehab process, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Ramirez previously had begun gripping a bat, going through fielding drills and throwing out to 140 feet before Tuesday's milestone. Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt indicated the 33-year-old third baseman is still on the same 5-to-7 week timeline. Ramirez underwent surgery on his left hamate two weeks ago.

Junior Caminero 3B | TB
Rays' Junior Caminero: Historic power surge continues
Caminero went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Royals.
Caminero delivered the biggest blow of Tampa Bay's six-run third inning, crushing a three-run homer off Noah Cameron to break the game open. The 22-year-old has now homered in five straight games and is batting .500 (10-for-20) with 15 RBI during that stretch. Even more impressively, Caminero has launched eight home runs over his last seven games, becoming the first player age 22 or younger to accomplish that feat since at least 1900. The third baseman is now slashing .294/.384/.555 with 23 home runs, 12 doubles, 52 RBI and 53 runs scored across 82 games this season.

Weston Wilson 3B | SEA
Mariners' Weston Wilson: Plates two Tuesday
Wilson went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Angels.
Wilson has been used sparingly since joining the Mariners' big-league roster. He has gone 2-for-11 with two steals and two RBI over four contests since his contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma on June 19. The outfielder is batting .220 with a .616 OPS, four thefts, one home run, five RBI, seven runs scored and a double over 57 plate appearances between Seattle and Baltimore this season. Expect Wilson to remain in a reserve role during his time in the majors.

Brett Harris 3B | BOS
Red Sox's Brett Harris: Shipped to Boston
The Red Sox acquired Harris from the Athletics on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Ben Hansen, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
The Athletics removed Harris from their 40-man roster last weekend, despite the fact that he slashed .336/.441/.537 with five home runs over 178 plate appearances at Triple-A Las Vegas. The Red Sox were willing to make room on their roster for Harris, who could have a chance to contribute in the big leagues at some point in the near future while the club has contended with multiple injuries in the infield. He'll report to Triple-A Worcester to begin his time in his new organization, however.

Denzer Guzman 3B | LAA
Angels' Denzer Guzman: Resting Tuesday
Gusman is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Mariners.
Guzman is resting Tuesday after going 1-for-4 with an RBI in the series-opening 6-2 loss to the Mariners on Monday. Vaughn Grissom has the start at the hot corner and is batting second.
