    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Suffers left hamstring injury

    Paredes was pulled from Thursday's game against the White Sox due to a left hamstring injury, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Paredes was running hard down the first base line in an attempt beat out a double play ball in the seventh inning. Manager Joe Espada didn't provide much additional information but shared that the club would know more Friday.

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Suffers apparent leg injury

    Paredes exited Thursday's game against the White Sox after appearing to suffer a left leg injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Paredes was running hard down the line trying to beat out a double play in the seventh inning and was seen walking gingerly afterward. He was removed from the game in the top half of the eighth inning, though the severity of the issue is unclear. Mauricio Dubon took over at third base.

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Tallies two hits, steal in win

    McKinstry went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Orioles. He also stole a base.

    After a surprisingly strong first two months of the season at the plate, McKinstry has kept rolling in June. The utility player is now batting .343 this month with three stolen bases and six runs scored through 11 games. Despite being a bench option for much of his career, McKinstry is forcing the Tigers to put him in the lineup most days due to his strong offensive output.

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Three-hit game

    Paredes went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the White Sox.

    Paredes has had an interesting start to June. He has hit only .235 with a relatively elevated 25 percent strikeout rate, yet he also has three home runs, nine RBI and five runs scored across nine games. Overall, Paredes has arguably been Houston's most consistent hitter this season and is on pace to match the production of his 2022 campaign -- the best of his career.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Reaches 20 steals again

    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 11-2 win over the Reds.

    Ramirez got the Guardians on the board with a run-producing double in the first inning and then stole third base. It was the 20th steal of the season for Ramirez, his fifth straight season and eighth overall with at least 20 thefts. The remarkably consistent Ramirez, who's hit safely in 11 consecutive games, also extended an on-base streak to 40 contests with a slash of .370/.433/.591 during that stretch dating back to April 27.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Homers in back-to-back games

    Westburg went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Tigers.

    Westburg delivered the final blow in Baltimore's seven-run eighth inning, tucking a Beau Brieske fastball inside the left-field foul pole for his sixth homer of the year. Westburg has certainly hit the ground running since returning from a month-plus stint on the IL, homering in back-to-back games. Overall, the 26-year-old Westburg is slashing .232/.290/.465 with 14 runs scored and 10 RBI across 107 plate appearances this season.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Homer, stolen base in win

    Urias went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-1 win over Detroit.

    Urias opened the scoring Wednesday with a 380-foot shot off Casey Mize, his third homer of the year and first since April 26. The 31-year-old Urias has been Baltimore's primary option at third base for most of the year, though he's likely to lose some playing time (despite Wednesday's effort) following Jordan Westburg's return from the IL. Overall, Urias is slashing .278/.335/.377 with 21 RBI and 16 runs scored through 173 plate appearances this season.

  • Marcelo Mayer SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: First career multi-homer game

    Mayer went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rays.

    Wednesday marked the first multi-homer game of the 2021 first-rounder's major-league career. Mayer has been primarily working on the strong side of a platoon with Abraham Toro at third base, and the former is slowly beginning to flash his slugging potential. Mayer is slashing .250/.313/.523 with three long balls, four doubles and four RBI over 44 plate appearances, and he should continue to see the majority of the action at the hot corner as long as Alex Bregman (quadriceps) remains on the injured list.

  • Andy Lugo 3B | BOS

    Twins' Andy Lugo: Dealt to Minnesota

    The Red Sox traded Lugo to the Twins on Wednesday in exchange for Jorge Alcala, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Lugo has spent the entire season with the Red Sox's High-A affiliate, where he's slashed .265/.327/.430 with four homers, 20 RBI, 16 runs scored and four steals through 44 games. The 21-year-old infielder will likely remain in High-A upon moving to the Twins organization and will aim to join Double-A Wichita by the end of the season.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Dealing with lower body injury

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said after Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Cardinals that Clement is considered day-to-day with a lower body injury, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Clement was replaced by Addison Barger at third base in the ninth inning. The injury doesn't appear to be serious, and with the Blue Jays scheduled for a day off Thursday, Clement could be available for Friday's weekend opener against the Phillies. He went 3-for-4 with a double and a solo home run prior to being subbed out.
