  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Returns to lineup

    Moncada (ankle) is batting third and playing third base Friday against Colorado, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Moncada is in the starting lineup for the first time since picking up a left ankle injury Sunday. The third baseman has slashed .239/.342/.462 with 12 home runs this season. He's hitless with four strikeouts in his last seven at-bats, however.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Idle again Friday

    Caminero (back tightness) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Boston.

    Caminero is out of the lineup for a second straight game after being lifted from Wednesday's contest with mid-back tightness. Tristan Gray will bat sixth and play third base Friday. Caminero is taking swings in the batting cage Friday, and if all goes well, he'll be back in action Saturday.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Makes return from injured list

    The Phillies activated Bohm (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Bohm missed the minimum 10 days with a cyst in his left shoulder. He did not go out on a rehab assignment but put in the necessary work to convince the Phillies he was ready to go. With Bohm back in the fold, Otto Kemp could either play some second base versus lefties or shift to a reserve role.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Reinstated from 60-day injured list

    The Astros activated Paredes (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Paredes suffered a torn right hamstring in mid-July that threatened to end his season, but opted to forego surgery in hopes that he could make it back late in the year. He has accomplished that goal, though Paredes is likely not yet 100 percent and will be asked to take it easy on the basepaths. With Yordan Alvarez (ankle) landing on the 10-day injured list, Paredes will step into the Astros' designated hitter role.

  • Brady House 3B | WAS

    Nationals' Brady House: Taking seat Friday

    House is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    House will yield to Paul DeJong at third base Friday after making three consecutive starts at the position. House is 9-for-43 (.209) with two home runs in September.

  • Brett Harris 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Brett Harris: Out of Friday's lineup

    Harris is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Pittsburgh.

    After starting three straight games at third base earlier this week, Harris has now been held out of the lineup in back-to-back contests. Darell Hernaiz will play the hot corner and Zack Gelof will handle second base in Friday's series opener. Harris and Gelof could continue to form a quasi-platoon down the stretch, though it will be difficult to know ahead of time which of the two of them is going to start since they both bat from the right side of the plate.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Returns to Reds' lineup

    Hayes (back) will start at third base and bat seventh in Friday's game versus the Cubs.

    Hayes didn't start the previous two tilts due to a back issue, but he entered Thursday's game against the Cubs as a defensive replacement and is back in the lineup Friday. The 28-year-old enters play Friday having gone hitless over his last five contests.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: To be activated Friday

    The Astros will reinstate Paredes (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Paredes strained his hamstring in mid-July, but bypassed surgery in hopes of returning late in the 2025 season. The decision will pay off Friday, as he's slated to come off the injured list in time for a three-game set against the Mariners, who are tied with Houston atop the AL West. Paredes will be used as a designated hitter once reinstated, and he may be asked to run less than full speed on the basepaths. Still, it's a significant boost to the Astros' lineup. He slashed .259/.359/.470 with 19 home runs, 51 runs and 50 RBI in 409 plate appearances before sustaining the injury.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Supplies go-ahead hit

    Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Tigers.

    Ramirez provided the decisive blow in the seventh inning with a two-run homer into the right field stands at Comerica Park, completing Cleveland's sweep of the first-place Tigers. The streaky Guardians, which have won seven in a row, are now 3.5 games back in the AL Central and 1.5 out of a wild card. The home run was the 29th for Ramirez, who also has 80 RBI, 39 steals and 96 runs scored over 148 contests.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Dealing with back injury

    Hayes missed the last two games due to back soreness, Mike Petraglia of MLB.com reports. He did enter Thursday's 1-0 win over the Cubs as a defensive replacement in the ninth inning.

    The back issue, which has bothered Hayes previously, cropped up during the Reds' series this week against the Cardinals. Cincinnati manager Terry Francona tried to get him time off then, but Spencer Steer came down with a neck injury. With Steer now back, Hayes can rest up. Francona said the third baseman, who's been managing the pain, could visit with a specialist by Monday. Sal Stewart served as the third baseman the last two games and presumably will continue to get the nod if Hayes misses more time.
