  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Reinstated, batting cleanup Sunday

    The Phillies reinstated Bohm (rib) from the 10-day injured list, and he will start at third base and bat cleanup Sunday against the Nationals.

    The third baseman has been on the shelf nearly a month due to a left rib fracture, but he's ready to rejoin the Phillies after going 3-for-21 over five minor-league rehab games. In 37 games since June 1, Bohm is batting .290 with three home runs, 21 RBI, 14 runs and a .749 OPS.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Smacks second homer with Cincinnati

    Hayes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly during Saturday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Brewers.

    The third baseman ended Quinn Priester's shutout effort by going deep to left field in the sixth inning, and Hayes added another run in the 11th on a sacrifice fly. He's struggled at the plate since being acquired by the Reds from the Pirates in late July, but Hayes has recorded a hit in four of his last six games while going 6-for-17 (.353) over that span.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Belts late solo homer

    Marte went 2-for-5 with a solo homer during the Reds' 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Brewers on Saturday.

    He made things interesting in the 11th inning by taking the second pitch he saw from Nick Mears deep to left field to reduce the Reds' deficit to one run. Marte has been hot at the plate as of late and is on a seven-game hitting streak, going 13-for-30 (.433) with five doubles, two home runs and nine RBI over that span.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Homers in loss

    Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Mets.

    Suarez supplied Seattle's only run with a 412-foot shot off Edwin Diaz in the ninth inning. It was the 34-year-old's second home run since returning to the Mariners, and he's just 8-for-56 with seven RBI and eight runs scored over 15 games since rejoining the club July 31. For the season, he's slashing .235/.305/.540 with 38 homers, 94 RBI, 72 runs scored and three steals across 498 plate appearances between the Diamondbacks and Seattle.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Swipes bag in win

    Baty went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Mariners.

    Baty singled twice and came around to score the Mets' first two runs, adding a stolen base in the seventh inning. The 25-year-old is 9-for-25 through nine August contests with three multi-hit efforts, two home runs, four RBI and seven runs scored in that span. For the season, he's slashing .239/.297/.421 with 13 homers, 38 RBI, 36 runs scored and six steals across 314 plate appearances.

  • Orlando Arcia 3B | COL

    Rockies' Orlando Arcia: Comes off IL

    The Rockies activated Arcia (elbow) off the injured list Saturday.

    Arcia missed the minimum 10 games while on the IL due to right elbow inflammation. Though he's now healthy enough to return to action, he may be reduced to a part-time role given that Kyle Karros has hit well while manning the hot corner after being promoted in the wake of Arcia's IL stint. Aaron Schunk was sent down to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday to clear room for Arcia's return to the 26-man roster.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Slated for Sunday activation

    Bohm (ribs) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Nationals, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

    Bohm started a rehab assignment last week and played in five games, going 3-for-21 (.143) with a homer and a triple. The third baseman is feeling well enough to rejoin the active roster for Sunday's series finale against Washington. His return will likely mean fewer at-bats for Edmundo Sosa and Otto Kemp.

  • Jose Caballero RF | NYY

    Yankees' Jose Caballero: Starts Friday, swipes two bags

    Caballero went 2-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Friday's 4-3 win against the Cardinals.

    Caballero got a rare start Friday, batting ninth and playing right field while the red-hot Giancarlo Stanton got the day off. It was just the third time Caballero has started a contest since he joined the Yankees via a trade with Tampa Bay on July 31. The speedy utility man certainly took advantage of the opportunity by reaching three times Friday and swiping two bases, moving him back alone atop the MLB leaderboard with 37 thefts on the campaign. Despite that impressive total, Caballero has just a .643 OPS on the season, and it's difficult to see him getting more playing time in New York unless an injury or two creates an opening.

  • Addison Barger 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: On bench Saturday

    Barger isn't part of the starting nine for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

    Barger will dodge a same-hand matchup against southpaw Patrick Corbin, stepping aside for Myles Straw to play right field and Ernie Clement to play third base. Barger had started in three of Toronto's last five games against left-handed starters.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Keeps rolling with homer

    Caminero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the Giants.

    Caminero has pummeled the ball in August -- this was his eighth homer in 13 games this month. He's up to 35 long balls on the year, which ranks sixth in the majors. The third baseman is up to a .261/.301/.536 slash line with 85 RBI, 72 runs scored, 21 doubles and five stolen bases across 117 contests as he continues to enjoy a breakout campaign.
