  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Still out Friday

    Moncada (knee) is not in Friday's lineup against the Guardians.

    He ran on the field before the game and the team waited to see how he felt before finalizing the lineup, so it seems like Moncada is day-to-day after being removed from Wednesday's game with knee soreness. Luis Rengifo will man third base and bat ninth while Scott Kingery starts at the keystone, batting eighth.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Collects career-high six RBI

    Caminero went 3-for-6 with a home run, a double, six RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 13-3 win over the Astros.

    The six RBI were a career high for Caminero, who homered in his second straight game and appears to be heating up at the plate recently. Over his last seven outings (29 at-bats), the slugging third baseman is batting .414 with three home runs, five doubles, 12 RBI and seven runs scored. Caminero also has five multi-hit games during this stretch.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Drives in four in nightcap

    Riley went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, four total RBI and a second run scored in a 9-3 win over the Phillies in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.

    Riley opened the scoring with a two-run double off Zack Wheeler in the fourth inning before extending Atlanta's lead to 8-0 with a homer off Joe Ross, his ninth of the year and first in 22 games. Overall, the 28-year-old Riley is slashing .280/.339/.444 with 32 RBI, 30 runs scored and two stolen bases across 245 plate appearances this season.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Homers, drives in five

    Clement went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer and a two-run double in Thursday's 12-0 win over the A's.

    All five of Clement's RBI came in Toronto's eight-run second inning. He opened the scoring with a homer off Jacob Lopez, his second of the season, before driving in two more runs with a double in his second at-bat in the frame. Clement had gone 14 games without an extra-base hit prior to Thursday -- he went 8-for-46 (.174) with a .443 OPS in that span. Overall, the 29-year-old infielder is slashing .256/.301/.344 with 16 RBI, 17 runs scored and two stolen bases across 176 plate appearances this year. Clement should continue to serve as the Jays' primary second baseman in the absence of Andres Gimenez (quadriceps).

  • Graham Pauley 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Graham Pauley: Shuttled back to minors

    Pauley was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

    Pauley will be optioned to the minors for the second time this season. He began the season as the regular third baseman for Miami, but the return of Connor Norby has left him without a regular role. Pauley will likely be back in the majors at some point thanks to his defensive versatility along the infield.

  • Diamondbacks' Ildemaro Vargas: Back with Snakes on MLB deal

    Vargas signed a major-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Thursday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Phoenix reports.

    Vargas opted out of his minor-league deal with Arizona on Tuesday but will now return to the organization on a big-league deal, replacing Jordan Lawlar on the MLB roster. The 33-year-old utility man slashed .261/.330/.397 across 221 plate appearances during his time in Triple-A and will give the D-backs extra depth at every infield position. He's also capable of playing in left field.

  • Eric Wagaman 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Three hits in Wednesday's win

    Wagaman went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Padres.

    It's his third three-hit performance in the last 12 games, a stretch in which Wagaman is slashing .340/.370/.460 with a homer, seven runs and seven RBI. The 27-year-old has emerged as an everyday player for the Marlins, seeing most of his action at first base right now with occasional forays into left field, but his overall fantasy impact remains minimal -- he has a .693 OPS on the season with four homers and one steal in 50 contests.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Logs three hits in win

    Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Dodgers.

    Ramirez immediately extended a career-best hit streak to 21 games with a run-scoring single in the first inning. He later doubled and scored in the seventh. During the streak, Ramirez is batting .393 (33-for-84) with a 1.100 OPS, eight doubles, one triple, four home runs, 12 RBI, seven walks, six steals and 20 runs.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: MRI shows progress

    Marte (oblique) had a follow-up MRI on Tuesday which showed further progress and he received the go-ahead to start rotational activities, MLB.com reports.

    The exact nature of those rotational activities were not divulged in the report, but it's safe to assume that means swinging a bat and taking batting practice. He's missed three-plus weeks with the oblique issue and is expected to require a multi-game rehab assignment.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Ends four-game hitless streak

    Hayes went 1-for-3 with one RBI, a walk and two runs scored Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

    Hayes has struggled at the plate for most of the season and that hasn't changed recently, as he entered Wednesday's game hitless in his last four starts. He ended that streak with an RBI single in the sixth inning to drive in his first run since May 12. Hayes has seven runs scored with three RBI with only a .207 batting average for the month.
