  • 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.

    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.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Clubs 41st homer

    Suarez went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Padres.

    Suarez sparked Seattle with a go-ahead three-run homer in the fifth inning, but the momentum was short-lived as San Diego answered back in the sixth inning and held on for the win. Since being dealt from Arizona at the trade deadline, the third baseman has struggled to replicate his previous success, slashing .174/.250/.395 with four doubles, five homers and 14 RBI across 24 games in his second career stint in a Mariners uniform.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Sitting out versus left-hander

    McMahon is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

    The Yankees have faced very few left-handed pitchers over the last several weeks, but McMahon has now yielded third base to Amed Rosario each of the last two times the club has gone up against a southpaw. The Nationals are sending lefty MacKenzie Gore to the bump Tuesday.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Racking up homers in August

    Caminero went 4-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI, two additional runs scored and one stolen base in Monday's 9-0 win over Cleveland.

    Caminero pushed his hitting streak up to five games, and he now has four homers over his past four outings. The four-hit game was Caminero's third of the year, and Monday marked his fourth multi-homer effort of the campaign as well. The slugging third baseman is on a tear in August, batting .301 with 12 round-trippers, two doubles, 23 RBI and two steals over his last 83 at-bats.
