Bregman went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.

Bregman enjoyed the thin Colorado air as he blasted his sixth home run of the season in the seventh inning. The Chicago third baseman came into the contest batting just .138 this month, and it's been a down campaign overall in his first year with the Cubs, as he has a .685 OPS through 310 plate appearances. Bregman has played in 68 of the team's 69 games, however, and he should continue to see ample playing time as he looks to build some momentum for the stretch run.

Bohm went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 7-4 win over Toronto.

After a brutal start to the season, Bohm has turned it around at the dish. Since the start of May, the third baseman is batting 37-for-129 (.287) with seven home runs, six doubles and 21 RBI. For the year, Bohm is slashing .226/.283/.366 with eight long balls, nine doubles and 34 RBI over 258 plate appearances.

Karros is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Cubs.

Karros started at third base in each of the Rockies' previous four tilts, but he'll get a break during Thursday's series finale. Willi Castro will man the hot corner and bat second for Colorado.

Chapman went 4-for-5 with a double, two home runs, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Wednesday's 11-10 win over the Nationals.

The veteran third baseman launched solo shots off Foster Griffin in the sixth inning and Paxton Schultz to lead off the eighth, with the latter blast sparking a stunning rally from an eight-run deficit for the Giants. Chapman's bat has heated up with the weather, and while he has just six homers on the season, five of them have come in June. He's slashing a massive .469/.548/1.000 to begin the month, with 18 RBI in only 10 games.

Rengifo isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Rengifo will move to the bench to begin Wednesday's series finale after going 1-for-7 with two walks, a run and four strikeouts across the first two games. David Hamilton will shift to third base as a result, giving Joey Ortiz a start at shortstop.

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

Gorman reached base on a pair of walks in Tuesday's 7-0 win in the series opener, but he remains stuck in prolonged dry spell at the dish. Dating back to May 20, Gorman has gone just 3-for-47 (.064 average) with one extra-base hit (a solo home run) while striking out at a 48.1 percent clip. The Cardinals will continue to shield Gorman from left-handed pitching, and he could be at risk of falling into more of a part-time role versus right-handers if he's unable to get his bat going soon.

Jimenez is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Diamondbacks.

Jimenez started the first game of the series at third base, but he'll begin Wednesday's festivities on the bench. Javier Sanoja will man the hot corner for the Marlins.

Groover is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Miami.

Groover started each of the previous four games after being called up from Triple-A Reno, going 3-for-15 with one RBI and a 0:3 BB:K. The rookie will take a seat Wednesday while Ildemaro Vargas fills in at first base.

Muncy went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run and an RBI in a 12-3 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Muncy had no trouble with Pirates ace Paul Skenes, logging three hits against the star hurler, including a double and a run-scoring single. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulled Muncy in the seventh frame after Los Angeles had grabbed a 10-run lead, but that decision appeared to be entirely to give the third baseman some extra rest. Muncy has been swinging the bat well of late, going 9-for-19 over his past six games. His overall .875 OPS would be his highest mark since 2021.

Single-A Lake Elsinore placed Fountain on the full-season injured list May 29 after he had surgery to repair a separated shoulder, J.J. Cooper of Baseball America reports.

Fountain, who received an over-slot $1.7 million bonus after the Padres selected him in the fifth round of the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, is already 20 years old and has a career .191/.303/.281 slash line in 48 career games at Single-A. He will miss the rest of the season.
