Eguy Rosario 3B | SD
Padres' Eguy Rosario: Continues rehab assignment
Rosario (ankle) resumed his rehab assignment at Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday and went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk and two additional RBI while playing nine innings at second base in a 5-2 win over Round Rock.
Rosario has been stuck on the Padres' 60-day injured list since Feb. 16 after he underwent surgery in the offseason to address a fractured ankle. He began a rehab assignment June 6 at Triple-A, then was shut down for two weeks before returning to action June 22. Rosario had his rehab assignment paused again shortly before the All-Star break, but he resumed playing in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League last week before reporting back to El Paso. The Padres likely want the 23-year-old to play on an everyday basis, so once he's deemed ready to return from the 60-day IL, he could be optioned to Triple-A.

The corner infielder has struck out at a 33.8 percent rate in July, noticeably higher than his 28.6 percent mark for the season.

Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY
Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Two hits, homer in loss
McMahon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to Washington.
McMahon had Jake Irvin figured out early, notching a single in his first at-bat against the right-hander before taking him deep in his second trip to the plate to put the Rockies up 2-0. The third baseman came into the contest batting just .190 in July but he's now recorded multiple hits in three of his last four games. With Wednesday's long ball he's now hit exactly four home runs in each month this season.

Manny Machado 3B | SD
Padres' Manny Machado: Goes deep Tuesday
Machado went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in a 5-1 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
Machado hit one of three homers for the Padres in the contest, producing the team's first run with a solo shot in the second inning. It was the continuance of a July power surge for the third baseman, who has gone deep 11 times through 20 games this month. That has pushed him to 20 long balls and 58 RBI to go along with three steals, 50 runs and a .257/.316/.472 slash line on the campaign.
