  • Jonah Bride 3B | TEX

    Marlins' Jonah Bride: Joins big-league roster

    The Marlins recalled Bride from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Bride will give the Marlins some protection along the infield. The 28-year-old has two hits in 12 at-bats during his brief time in the majors this season.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Starts at first base

    Candelario started at first base and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Yankees.

    This was Candelario's first start in the field since returning from a hamstring injury over the weekend. He served as Cincinnati's designated hitter the previous two games. As a result of him playing first base, Spencer Steer moved to left field for the day.

  • Noelvi Marte RF | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Swats first homer of season

    Marte went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday in a 3-2 win against the Yankees.

    Marte produced the bulk of Cincinnati's offense with his two-run blast in the second inning. That was his first hit in five games since going 3-for-5 in his return from an 80-game suspension June 27. Marte is batting .167 overall since being reinstated, collecting four RBI, five runs and two stolen bases across six contests.

  • Mark Vientos 1B | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Swats 11th homer

    Vientos went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday in a loss to the Nationals.

    Vientos gave New York a 3-0 lead with his two-run shot in the fourth inning, though Washington rallied late to claim victory. The long ball was Vientos' fifth over his past nine games, and he's also tallied 10 RBI during that span. The third baseman has taken hold of the primary hot corner role for the Mets with a strong stat line that includes a .297/.352/.579 slash, 11 home runs, 29 RBI and 26 runs over 159 plate appearances.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Smashes homer Wednesday

    Bohm went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Cubs.

    Bohm was named the National League's All-Star starter at third base earlier in the day, and his performance Wednesday was a good example of what he can do. He's up to 11 homers on the year, with five of them coming over his last 15 games. The 27-year-old has added a .299/.351/.494 slash line, 70 RBI, 40 runs scored, four stolen bases, 28 doubles and a triple over 84 contests.

  • Vinny Capra 3B | BOS

    Brewers' Vinny Capra: Recalled from Nashville

    The Brewers recalled Capra from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

    With Joey Ortiz (neck) headed to the injured list, Capra will join the major-league squad in order to replenish the Brewers' infield depth. The 27-year-old has spent all season with Nashville, slashing .242/.331/.345 with 25 RBI over 302 plate appearances. Andruw Monasterio will likely start most days while Ortiz is out, but Capra may see some playing time against left-handed pitchers in place of the lefty-hitting Brice Turang.

  • Joseph Ortiz SS | MIL

    Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Hits injured list

    The Brewers placed Ortiz on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with neck inflammation, retroactive to Tuesday.

    Neck problems have caused Ortiz to be in and out of the Brewers' lineup over the past week, and he'll now officially be shut down in order to properly address the issue. Vinny Capra was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move, but Andruw Monasterio has been seeing regular time at third base when Ortiz sits and should continue to do so going forward.

  • Nick Senzel 3B | LAD

    Nationals' Nick Senzel: Taking seat Wednesday

    Senzel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Senzel will get the day off after starting the first two games of Washington's four-game set with New York. Ildemaro Vargas will bat eighth and play third base.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Swats homer No. 10

    Riley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Giants.

    The third baseman took Hayden Birdsong deep in the second inning to open the scoring on the night. Riley's bat has woken up in a big way over the last few weeks -- since June 14, he's slashing .356/.441/.780 in 68 plate appearances with seven of his 10 homers on the year and 12 of his 32 RBI.

  • Jake Burger 1B | TEX

    Marlins' Jake Burger: Homers in loss

    Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday' 8-3 loss to the Red Sox.

    Burger hit a solo home run in the fifth inning and added a single in the ninth. The 28-year-old hit .213 in both May and June but does have two multi-hit efforts and two home runs in his past five games. On the season, he is hitting .221 with eight home runs, 28 RBI and 25 runs scored through 259 plate appearances.
