Vargas went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's win against Pittsburgh.

Vargas got the scoring started early with his three-run shot in the first inning. He snapped a 26-game homerless drought and is up to 11 long balls this season. Vargas also hit his 25th double of the year and finished the three-game series against the Pirates with four extra-base hits. He's slashing .222/.301/.398 with 38 extra-base hits and 49 runs scored through 395 plate appearances.

Lewis went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Rockies.

Lewis took full advantage of the Colorado air, mashing a pair of home runs Sunday -- a 451-foot blast in the fourth inning followed by another solo shot in the eighth. It marked the first multi-homer game of his career and his first long balls since returning from the injured list July 1. The 26-year-old had shown limited impact at the plate prior to this outburst but is now 12-for-47 (.255) with four extra-base hits over 14 games since his return. With Lewis' power stroke starting to resurface, he may be finding his rhythm just in time for a strong second half.

Mastrobuoni went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 11-3 loss to Houston.

The lefty-hitting Mastrobuoni continues to work in tandem with Ben Williamson for reps at third base, though the former has been functioning on the short side of the platoon for most of the year. While Mastrobuoni is batting a strong .314 (16-for-51) with four RBI, five walks and three steals over 26 games since the start of June, he has zero extra-base hits since May 23.

The Astros placed Paredes on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right hamstring strain, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Paredes departed Saturday's game in Seattle due to the injury and headed back to Houston on Sunday to undergo an MRI, the results of which have yet to be disclosed. The 26-year-old will be eligible to be reinstated July 30, but a longer absence could be in store given that manager Joe Espada said that the injury "doesn't look very good," per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Rojas has a .461 OPS through 11 games in July and will sit for the second time in Chicago's first three contests of the second half. Colson Montgomery will shift to the hot corner while Chase Meidroth starts at shortstop and Lenyn Sosa mans second base.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Muncy went 1-for-8 with a strikeout and a caught stealing in the first two games after the All-Star break. Max Schuemann will instead man the keystone and bat eighth Sunday.

Andujar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Andujar has gone 5-for-12 with a double and two RBI in his past three games but will take a seat for Sunday's series finale in Cleveland. Gio Urshela will start at the hot corner and bat seventh versus Guardians righty Gavin Williams.

Peraza is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Peraza has been operating as the Yankees' primary third baseman over the past couple weeks, but he hasn't taken advantage of the opportunity and has gone 3-for-29 with nine strikeouts so far in July. Jorbit Vivas is manning the hot corner for the series finale in Atlanta.

Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Moncada will take a seat for the second time in the first three games of the second half, with both his absences coming against left-handed pitchers. The switch hitter has gone 2-for-19 versus southpaws this season, which stands in stark contrast to his .945 OPS against righties. Kevin Newman is starting at third base Sunday, as it appears he and Moncada are working in a loose platoon.

Bregman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Christopher of Smith of MassLive.com reports.

As reported earlier in the weekend, the Red Sox are managing Bregman's playing time early on in his return from a quadriceps injury. Marcelo Mayer will start at third base in Sunday's series finale. Bregman is expected to start the first two games of the series against the Phillies on Monday and Tuesday.
