  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Tallies 14th homer

    McMahon went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Friday against the Twins.

    McMahon capped off a four-run first inning for the Rockies with his 14th home run of the season. He continues to struggle to hit for average, as he's gone just 19-for-98 (.194) across his last 27 games, but McMahon does have five home runs in that span.

  • Graham Pauley 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Graham Pauley: Swipes bag in Friday's win

    Pauley went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's extra-inning win over the Royals.

    Getting the start at third base and batting eighth, Pauley swiped his first career bag in the majors. While speed isn't seen as a big part of his game, the 24-year-old did go 23-for-28 on steal attempts across three levels in the Padres' system in 2023, and he's 6-for-6 this season between Triple-A Jacksonville and the Marlins. Pauley is expected to fill the strong side of a platoon at third base while Connor Norby (wrist) is on the shelf, and through 34 games this season with Jacksonville he's slashed .258/.338/.492 with seven homers and 17 RBI.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Planned playing time revealed

    Boston manager Alex Cora said Bregman will play four of the six games on the team's current road trip, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Bregman was activated off the injured list last week and played two of three games prior to the All-Star break. He started the first game back from the break Friday and will start again Saturday before getting Sunday off. The manager said Bregman will start Monday and Tuesday in Philadelphia before getting Wednesday off.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS

    Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Powers offense in win

    Durbin went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI double in Friday's 2-0 win over the Dodgers.

    Durbin was the Brewers' offense in this contest, turning in the only multi-hit effort for either team. He opened the scoring with the RBI double in the fifth inning, then added his solo shot for insurance in the seventh. The infielder has been steady in July, going 11-for-30 (.367) over 12 games. He's up to a .265/.350/.382 slash line with five homers, 34 RBI, 35 runs scored, 13 doubles and eight stolen bases over 276 plate appearances.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Delivers late grand slam in win

    Machado went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Friday's 7-2 win over the Nationals.

    Machado launched the dagger Friday, crushing a grand slam off Kyle Finnegan in the top of the ninth as part of a five-run inning for the Padres. It was the 33-year-old's 18th long ball of the year and fourth in the last eight games, a stretch in which the veteran slugger is batting 10-for-32 (.313) with eight RBI and a 1.110 OPS. Machado has been excellent at the plate this season and continues to come through in big moments for San Diego.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Slugs pair of homers in rout

    Caminero went 3-for-5 with a pair of two-run home runs in Friday's 11-1 win over Baltimore.

    It was the seventh game of the season with at least three hits for Caminero, who also piled up at least four RBI for the fourth time this year. Since the beginning of June, the third baseman is slashing .245/.301/.523 with 12 homers, six doubles, 27 RBI and two stolen bases over 166 plate appearances. Friday was also Caminero's second career multi-homer effort, and he continues to showcase the slugging prowess that once made him one of baseball's top prospects.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: In Friday's lineup

    Suarez (hand) will start at third base and bat fifth Friday against the Cardinals.

    Suarez avoided a serious injury after taking a pitch off his left hand during the All-Star Game, and a few days of rest will allow him to remain in Arizona's lineup to begin the second half. The 34-year-old infielder slashed .250/.320/.569 with 31 homers and 78 RBI before the break and is a likely candidate to be brought up in trade discussions over the next couple of weeks.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Back in lineup

    Arenado (finger) is batting sixth and playing third base Friday against Arizona.

    Arenado missed back-to-back games before the All-Star break due to a sprained right index finger. However, he'll be back in the starting nine coming out of the break, reclaiming his spot at the hot corner. He's slashing .246/.305/.388 with 10 home runs in 347 plate appearances this season.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Progressing well

    Muncy (knee) started swinging a bat Friday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Muncy took swings Friday for the first time since being placed on the injured list July 3. Muncy said of his recovery, "we're right where we think we should be" and shared that "everything feels great." The third baseman appears to be on track for a mid-August return, which is right in line with the initial six-week projected absence.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Taking batting practice

    Riley (abdomen) participated in batting practice Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Riley landed on the injured list shortly before the All-Star break with a right abdominal strain. After using the All-Star break to rehab back home, the 28-year-old said he is feeling much better now and is optimistic about his chances to return sometime next week, per David O'Brien of The Athletic. Until then, Nacho Alvarez should continue to work as Atlanta's primary third baseman.
