Caminero went 2-for-5 with two homers, three total RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 13-9 win over the Rockies.

Caminero showed off his power, lifting a 422-foot two-run homer in the first inning before adding a 442-foot solo blast in the fourth frame. Monday marked the 23-year-old's third multi-homer game of the season and first since June 25. The superstar third baseman is slashing .283/.373/.557 with 32 homers, 69 RBI, 69 runs and two stolen bases across 112 games.

Jung (calf) did some running Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Jung's recovery from a left calf strain has come along more slowly than expected, but he took a big step forward Monday. The third baseman will continue to ramp up his running progression as long as he doesn't experience any setbacks. Jung has been sidelined for nearly two weeks, and it's uncertain whether he'll need some rehab games before being reinstated.

The Angels acquired Alvarez from Atlanta on Monday in exchange for left-hander Brent Suter, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Alvarez produced a .626 OPS over 208 plate appearances and made 63 starts for Atlanta in 2025, but he has yet to see big-league action in 2026 while second baseman Ozzie Albies and third baseman Austin Riley have both remained healthy throughout the campaign. The 23-year-old Alvarez had been playing exclusively at the hot corner at Triple-A Gwinnett this season, slashing .236/.337/.326 with two home runs and four stolen bases in 37 games before landing on the injured list in late May due to an undisclosed issue. The severity of Alvarez's injury remains unclear, but assuming he's not dealing with a season-ending issue, he could be cleared to make his organizational debut at Triple-A Salt Lake within the next few weeks.

Vargas went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Rays.

Vargas popped his home run in the ninth inning to give the White Sox some additional insurance. It was his second long ball of the weekend series against Tampa Bay and brings his total to 24 on the season. Vargas has continued to flash power, but he's otherwise struggled out of the All-Star break, hitting only .197 with seven RBI across 16 games.

Gelof (knee) will report to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Gelof has been on the shelf nearly a month due to a knee laceration but has now been cleared for game action. The 26-year-old is expected to require about 20 at-bats in the minors before being cleared to come off the injured list, so he'll likely need about a week with Las Vegas before rejoining the big-league roster.

Wilson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Leo Rivas will cover third base Sunday, but Wilson appears to have tentatively settled in as the Mariners' top option at the position. Wilson manned the hot corner in each of the previous five games, going 2-for-17 with a double, two walks, and a run scored during that stretch. His run as a regular in the Seattle lineup could be over as soon as Tuesday, when Brendan Donovan (groin) is projected to return from the injured list.

Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

The left-handed-hitting Keith will hit the bench for the second time in the series while the Athletics send another southpaw (Gage Jump) to the bump. With Keith on the bench, Hao-Yu Lee will draw the start at third base while Dillon Dingler serves as the Tigers' designated hitter.

Rojas will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Rojas will be included in the lineup for the fifth time in six games, despite going just 1-for-10 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored over his prior four starts. He could see his playing time dry up in the near future, however, as Kyle Isbel (foot) returned from the injured list Sunday, and Bobby Witt (back) appears on track to be activated Tuesday.

Mayo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

He'll take a seat against right-hander Zack Wheeler, ending a streak of five straight starts at either third base or DH. The Orioles faced three right-handers and two lefties during that stretch, as Mayo went 4-for-16 with one home run, two walks, five RBI and four runs, but also six strikeouts. Christian Encarnacion-Strand will receive the nod at third base Sunday, but Mayo still looks like he could be in store for fairly steady playing time so long as he's performing adequately at the plate.

White went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Tigers.

White had gone 0-for-13 with five strikeouts over his previous three games. This was his fifth multi-hit effort so far, including three games of at least three hits, since he made his big-league debut July 17. Overall, he's batting .304 with a .667 OPS, but he has no home runs, two doubles, no RBI and seven runs scored across his first 14 contests in the majors.
