Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU
Astros' Isaac Paredes: Swats homer in comeback win
Paredes went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, a walk and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 11-9 win over the Pirates.
Paredes had gone eight games without a multi-hit effort prior to Wednesday. The third baseman helped cut into the deficit with his seventh-inning homer, his second long ball in six contests. For the season, he's hitting .238 with a .720 OPS, seven homers, 27 RBI, 23 runs scored, 10 doubles and no stolen bases over 57 games. Carlos Correa's season-ending ankle injury has provided Paredes a path to everyday starts at third base.

Royce Lewis 3B | MIN
Twins' Royce Lewis: Raking at Triple-A since demotion
Lewis is slashing .341/.413/.927 with seven home runs and a 3:10 BB:K in 10 games for Triple-A St. Paul since the Twins demoted him May 19.
After Lewis posted a career-worst .540 OPS over 119 plate appearances with the big club to begin the season, the Twins sent him to Triple-A so that he could implement changes to his swing in a low-pressure setting. Over the past two weeks, Lewis has done his part to prove that he's deserving of another look in the majors. Along with tapping into more power with St. Paul, Lewis is making contact at a steady rate; he's struck out at a manageable 20.8 percent clip in the minors, down over 10 percentage points from his mark with the Twins. Minnesota also plans to give Lewis exposure to some different positions during his time at Triple-A. Lewis will start at second base Thursday, and Twins manager Derek Shelton added that the 26-year-old will also get some work at first base at some point, per Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com.

Maikel Garcia 3B | KC
Royals' Maikel Garcia: Held out again Wednesday
Garcia (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cincinnati.
This marks Garcia's fourth consecutive absence from the starting lineup as he continues to deal with a right hamstring issue. The Royals have held off on putting Garcia on the 10-day injured list, but a move will have to be made soon if he's not game-ready in a hurry. Nick Loftin is filling in again at third base Wednesday in Garcia's stead.

Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS
Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Extends XBH streak to five games
Durbin went 1-for-3 with a double in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles.
He's still hitting ninth in the order, but Durbin seems to have regained a full-time job at third base thanks to a surge that has seen him produce an extra-base hit in five straight games while batting .350 (7-for-20) with four doubles, a triple, one run and six RBI. If the former Brewer is beginning to learn how to play wall ball off the Green Monster in his new home park, Durbin could still turn around what has been a tough start to his Red Sox tenure.

Tristan Gray SS | MIN
Twins' Tristan Gray: Two RBI, two runs, SB in win
Gray went 2-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the White Sox.
Gray scored on a Brooks Lee sac fly in the third inning before he drove home a pair on an RBI single in the fourth while also swiping his second base of the season. Over his last six games, Gray is 7-for-20 (.350) with one homer, 11 RBI, four runs scored and both of his stolen bases for the season. He's slashing .248/.297/.396 with four home runs, 25 RBI, 13 runs scored and a 7:34 BB:K across 112 plate appearances in 2026.

Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA
Mariners' Patrick Wisdom: Hits first homer of season
Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Mets.
Wisdom has seen sporadic playing time since he recovered from an oblique injury that sidelined him for more than a month. The homer Tuesday was his first long ball and third hit over seven contests this year. Wisdom is batting .167 with four RBI, two runs scored, one double and no stolen bases over 19 plate appearances. He's unlikely to carve out an everyday role in the long run, but he should be able to pick up some extra time while Josh Naylor (back spasms) gets back to full health.

Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Tallies three doubles Tuesday
Ramirez went 3-for-5 with three doubles, two RBI and a run scored during the Guardians' 9-4 win over the Yankees on Tuesday.
Ramirez tied a career high with three doubles in Tuesday's win, with his second and third in the fifth and seventh innings, respectively, driving in a run each time. He's now up to 17 doubles on the season, which is tied with Tyler Soderstrom for second-most in the American League behind Ernie Clement (19). Ramirez has gone 8-for-26 (.308) with seven RBI over his last seven games.

Kazuma Okamoto 3B | TOR
Blue Jays' Kazuma Okamoto: Goes deep for 13th time
Okamoto went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run during Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Atlanta.
Okamoto put the Blue Jays on the board in the second inning with a two-run homer off Bryce Elder to tie the game at 2-2. Okamoto has gone deep three times over his last six games and is up to 13 home runs on the season, most on the Blue Jays and 12th in the American League, though he's also struck out 77 times, which is fourth most in the AL. Over his last seven games, Okamoto has gone 6-for-22 (.273) with four extra-base hits and eight RBI.

Maikel Garcia 3B | KC
Royals' Maikel Garcia: Remains out Tuesday
Garcia (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Cincinnati.
Garcia will miss a third straight start as he battles a right hamstring strain. A decision regarding a stint on the 10-day injured list for Garcia should be made imminently. Nick Loftin is handling third base for the Royals on Tuesday.

Amed Rosario 3B | NYY
Yankees' Amed Rosario: Back from paternity leave
The Yankees activated Rosario from the paternity leave list Tuesday.
Rosario was away for the final two games of the weekend series versus the Athletics but is back for the start of the series against the Guardians. With lefty Joey Cantillo slated to start for Cleveland on Tuesday, Rosario will likely be in the Yankees' lineup.
