Jung went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and two additional runs scored during Texas' 10-0 win over Cleveland on Saturday.

Jung was one of three Rangers batters to go long Saturday, with his two-run shot in the third extending Texas' lead to 5-0. Jung's recent struggles at the plate have led to reduced playing time as of late, but Saturday's outing could be the kind of performance he needs to break out of his slump.

Harris is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

Harris will take a seat Saturday for the first time since being called up Aug. 15, opening a start for Luis Urias at third base. Harris has gone 5-for-24 (.208) with four runs scored and three RBI since the promotion.

Machin went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-7 loss to the Astros.

Entering the game at third base as part of a double switch in the top of the eighth inning, Machin drove the first pitch he saw from Kaleb Ort in the bottom of the frame over the fence in center field. The utility infielder had just been called up earlier in the day for his first MLB action since 2022, and Friday's blast was just the second homer of his career in 363 plate appearances. With Jordan Westburg (ankle) back on the IL, there might be some playing time available in the short term for Machin, but Jorge Mateo (hamstring) re-started his rehab assignment Wednesday and could be a week or so away from rejoining the roster.

McMahon isn't in the starting lineup against Boston on Saturday.

McMahon is out of the starting nine for the second time in the Yankees' past five games while in the midst of a 7-for-48 stretch at the plate dating back to Aug. 2. Amed Rosario is getting a start at the hot corner in McMahon's stead Saturday.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 4-3 loss to Texas.

Ramirez delivered a two-out, two-run double with the bases loaded in the eighth inning that gave Cleveland a late lead, but that evaporated in the ninth. It was the fourth straight game with a hit for Ramirez, who has knocked in four runs during that stretch.

Moncada went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Friday's loss to the Cubs.

The third baseman provided all of Los Angeles' offense, accounting for two of the team's three hits and both runs on the night. The 30-year-old launched a solo shot in the fifth inning before adding another in the seventh, marking his 10th and 11th homers of the year. Moncada has three long balls over his last two contests and the switch hitter is now slashing .239/.330/.478 with 30 RBI and 30 runs scored through 59 games this season.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

Suarez reached the 40-homer mark for the second time in his career when he went yard in the fifth inning. The third baseman's return to Seattle started off slow, but he's picked up the pace lately, hitting safely in eight of the last nine games. He's 10-for-34 (.294) with three homers in that time, though this was his first home game in that span. Suarez has a .238/.306/.548 slash line with 98 RBI, 74 runs scored, three stolen bases and 23 doubles over 126 games between the Mariners and Diamondbacks this year. He'll need to stay dialed in with his power to take a run at reaching the 50-homer mark for the first time.

McKinstry went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple and an additional run scored in Friday's 7-5 win over the Royals.

McKinstry came a double shy of the cycle. It was a much-needed effort from the 30-year-old, who entered Friday mired in a 5-for-32 slump since his last homer Aug. 6. For the season, he's slashing .265/.340/.455 with 11 home runs, 41 RBI, 58 runs scored and 19 steals across 424 plate appearances.

Lewis went 3-for-5 with a grand slam and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-7 win over the White Sox.

Lewis established a season high in RBI, and the three-hit effort was his third of the campaign. It's been another injury-riddled year for the slugging infielder, who is slashing an uneven .233/.293/.378 with seven long balls, 15 doubles and 33 RBI over 273 plate appearances. Lewis still has a clear path to everyday reps at third base the rest of the way, and he's logged a hit in three of his past four outings.

The Orioles selected Machin's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The 31-year-old will join the Orioles as infield depth with Jordan Westburg (ankle) landing on the injured list. Machin hasn't seen game action in the majors since 2022 with the A's but has an .814 OPS in 107 contests with Norfolk this year.
