  • Jose Miranda 3B | MIN

    Twins' Jose Miranda: Back in action at Triple-A

    Miranda (hand) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Miranda is in St. Paul's lineup at third base Friday after missing the previous month with a strained left hand. He hit just .167 over 12 games with the Twins prior to his demotion in mid-April.

  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Out of lineup again Friday

    Vientos is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

    Vientos is sitting for the second straight game. With Vientos on the bench, Brett Baty is making the start at third base and batting sixth against Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon. Vientos is slashing .220/.301/.370 with four home runs, 15 RBI, 16 runs scored and a 15:30 BB:K on the season.

  • Jose Tena SS | WAS

    Nationals' Jose Tena: Out against right-hander

    Tena is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

    Tena has handled most of the reps at third base against right-handed pitching over the last few weeks for the Nationals, but he will begin Friday's festivities on the bench as the Cardinals send righty Erick Fedde to the bump. Amed Rosario is at the hot corner and batting sixth Friday.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Returns to Cardinals' lineup

    Arenado (back) will start at third base and bat cleanup in Friday's game versus the Nationals.

    Arenado was a late scratch from the Cardinals' lineup Wednesday due to back spasms, but he's feeling well enough to play following the team's off day Thursday. The veteran third baseman will carry a modest four-game hitting streak into Friday's series opener.

  • Otto Kemp 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Otto Kemp: Hot start at Triple-A

    Kemp is slashing .331/.423/.662 with 10 home runs, five steals and a 27.0 percent strikeout rate in 35 games for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    Kemp has started 19 games at third base, seven games at first base and six games at second base while logging the second-highest wRC+ (184) in the International League. His .419 BABIP illustrates how fortunate Kemp has been in the early going, but he's nonetheless looking ready for his first taste of the majors if the Phillies deal with any injuries to their infield.

  • Aaron Schunk SS | COL

    Rockies' Aaron Schunk: Making progress

    Schunk (groin) has resumed baseball activity, MLB.com reports.

    Schunk has been sidelined since April 26. He has resumed fielding and batting practice as well as baserunning drills, but a timeline for his return is still unclear.

  • Andy Ibanez 3B | DET

    Tigers' Andy Ibanez: Drives in two Thursday

    Ibanez went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

    Ibanez helped lead the Tigers to an easy 10-2 win then began the nightcap on the bench, though he did enter the contest late as a defensive replacement. The utility player has a solid .259 batting average and .746 OPS to go along with two home runs and 12 RBI in 25 games, but his inconsistent playing time limits his overall fantasy appeal.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Continues to hit for average

    Bohm went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 7-6 extra-inning victory over the Rays.

    Through his first seven games in May, Bohm is batting .308 with one home run, one double, four RBI and four runs scored over 26 at-bats. The corner infielder hasn't hit for much power overall in 2025, but he's batting .304 (24-for-79) across his last 21 outings. Bohm began the season in the top half of Philadelphia's lineup, but he'll likely stick in the lower part of the batting order unless he starts to supply more pop.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Continues to thrive at home

    Caminero went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional RBI in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

    It was the slugging third baseman's first multi-RBI effort since April 17. Caminero also has just one multi-hit effort in his last 15 outings, but he has consistently occupied a premium spot in Tampa Bay's batting order. It's also worth noting he's thrived at hitter-friendly George M. Steinbrenner Field this season, as Caminero is batting .298 with an .891 OPS over 94 at-bats at home while hitting a paltry .122 with a .330 OPS across 41 at-bats on the road.

  • Luis Rengifo 3B | LAA

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Out of lineup Thursday

    Rengifo is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Rhett Bollinger reports.

    Rengifo remains a key part of the Angels' lineup, though he has started to sit more of late. He began the regular season with only one day off through 21 games, but he since appears to be settling into a pattern of getting at least one day off per week. His slight downturn in playing time could be a result of his slow start at the dish, as he has just a .210/.246/.277 line across 126 plate appearances. Both Yoan Moncada and Tim Anderson are in the lineup Thursday in Rengifo's absence.
