  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: On base four times in win

    Suarez went 2-for-3 with a two-run double, two walks and a run in a win over the Yankees on Thursday.

    Suarez played a key role in the Mariners' four-run first inning, plating Ty France and Teoscar Hernandez with his 10th double of the campaign. Suarez had been mired in a 4-for-25 funk over his previous seven games prior to Thursday's breakout, and after his timely two-bagger, he's now sporting a .333 batting average and .431 wOBA across 91 plate appearances with men in scoring position this season.

  • Jonah Bride 3B | TEX

    Athletics' Jonah Bride: On base twice Thursday

    Bride went 1-for-1 with a walk before being replaced by pinch runner Tyler Wade in a loss to the Guardians on Thursday.

    While his final line doesn't jump off the page, the fact Bride reached base twice after hitting .095 (2-for-21) over his previous nine games is encouraging. In fairness, the young infielder may have been running into bad luck during the skid, as his 20.0 percent line-drive rate should have netted much more than a .133 BABIP. Bride still sports some decent metrics despite his .222 batting average and .244 SLG, as a 12.3 percent walk rate has helped him to a .357 OBP, but Thursday marked his first start since June 17 and his luck may need to turn to earn more playing time.

  • Oswald Peraza 3B | LAA

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Appears to be dealing with injury

    Peraza hasn't played since June 18 due to an apparent injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Peraza spent a little over two weeks with the Yankees before being placed on the IL with an ankle injury in early May. He was reinstated May 19 and immediately optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he has remained since. However, Peraza is now dealing with an apparent injury, though the organization hasn't disclosed the nature of the issue. According to Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune, Peraza has undergone some tests, and the team is hoping that he's dealing with nothing more than soreness.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Runs wild against Rays

    Garcia went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs, an RBI and three stolen bases in Thursday's 6-5 win against Tampa Bay.

    Garcia reached three times and took full advantage on the basepaths, swiping multiple bags for the first time as a big-leaguer. His speed was critical in creating the game-winning run, as he stole second and third after walking to lead off the ninth and came home to score on an infield single. Garcia's acumen as a base-stealer is easy to see -- he went 39-for-47 on theft attempts in the minors last year and is a perfect 10-for-10 in the majors this season. He's been swinging a hot bat of late, going 17-for-47 (.362) with a home run, four RBI, nine runs and five steals over his past 12 games.

  • Curtis Mead 3B | WAS

    Rays' Curtis Mead: Begins rehab assignment

    Mead (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League on Thursday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

    One of the top hitters in the minors, Mead has not played since April 29 due to a wrist injury after getting hit by a pitch. Given the length of his absence, there may have been a broken bone in his hand/wrist. While Mead could still make his big-league debut this summer, he hadn't gotten off to a great start with Triple-A Durham prior to the injury, slashing .221/.286/.360 with two home runs in 22 games.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Blue Jays' Matt Chapman: Homers in win

    Chapman went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's victory over Miami.

    Chapman led off the second inning with a double, which kick-started a five-run frame for Toronto as they jumped on Sandy Alcantara early. The third baseman then added a leadoff homer in the eighth, his 10th of the season, giving the Blue Jays a late insurance run. It was a nice showing for Chapman, who is still hitting just .206 in June after the two-hit performance, though he's recorded two hits and a walk in back-to-back games now.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Heating up again

    Bregman went 3-for-5 with two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-8 win over the Mets.

    The third baseman has snapped out of a brief 2-for-22 slump with eight hits in the last four games. Bregman's .740 OPS on the year would be a career worst, but he's been mostly productive over the last month, slashing .301/.368/.476 over his last 26 games with four homers, two steals, 13 runs and 21 RBI.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Rips triple in three-hit effort

    Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Athletics.

    Ramirez has eight multi-hit efforts, including four three-hit games, over his last 13 contests. In that span, he's gone 24-for-58 (.414). His streak of five games with an RBI came to an end Wednesday, but it was still a productive performance. Ramirez is slashing .293/.355/.514 with 11 home runs, 44 RBI, 43 runs scored, 20 doubles, four triples and six stolen bases over 69 contests this season.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Pops homer in loss

    Urias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Rays.

    Urias took Taj Bradley deep in the third inning to get the Orioles on the board. Over his last nine games, Urias has gone 11-for-34 with five RBI and six runs scored. The infielder has primarily played the corner infield and designated hitter lately, though he's also an option for middle-infield duty. His long ball Wednesday was his third of the season, and he's slashing .267/.333/.394 with 23 RBI, 21 runs scored, three stolen bases and 12 doubles over 51 contests.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Swats 11th homer

    Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Rays.

    Henderson's ninth-inning blast was little more than window dressing in the loss. He had half of the Orioles' four hits while once again batting out of the leadoff spot. The third baseman has slowed down a bit, going 4-for-24 (.167) over his last six contests. For the season, he's at a .242/.343/.464 slash line with 11 homers, 27 RBI, 37 runs scored and four stolen bases through 239 plate appearances. Henderson is likely to remain atop the order versus right-handed pitchers until Cedric Mullins (groin) returns.
