LeMahieu went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a run and two RBI in the Yankees' 6-2 win over the Blue Jays on Thursday.

It was the second straight three-hit game for LeMahieu, who is now working on a 10-game hitting streak. He continues to thrive in his first season with the Yankees, as this performance raises his slash line up to .323/.371/.480 through 223 at-bats. He's also driven in 40 runs, an impressive total considering he's done most of his work this season from the leadoff spot.

Moustakas went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Thursday's victory over the Marlins.

Moustakas went deep in the first inning to give Milwaukee a 3-0 lead, and he left the yard again the third inning on a solo shot to center. The 30-year-old has clubbed six home runs and driven in eight over his last 10 contests, and he now sits with 18 homers along with 39 RBI on the season over 56 contests.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a stolen base Wednesday in the Indians' 9-7 win over the Twins.

Ramirez's pair of base knocks ended a three-game hitless streak that spanned 11 at-bats. Even after the multi-hit effort, Ramirez is barely above the Mendoza Line for the season (.207 average), though a 15-for-17 success rate on stolen-base attempts has spared him from being a total disaster for those who invested in him.

McMahon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

He'll retreat to the bench with lefty Jose Quintana on the bump for Chicago, paving the way for platoon mate Brendan Rodgers to pick up a start at second base. McMahon's hold on the primary job at the keystone could be slipping; he's gone 6-for-32 (.188 average) over his past eight starts.

Newman will start at second base and bat leadoff Thursday against the Braves.

Newman has slotted in atop the lineup for eight of the Pirates' past nine games, unseating Adam Frazier as the team's table setter. The 25-year-old has only turned in a .256 on-base percentage during that span, however, so he may need to pick up the pace offensively to ensure he sticks in the leadoff role for the remainder of the season.

Longoria is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

After starting each of the previous six contests, Longoria will receive a breather for the matinee game while Pablo Sandoval checks in at third base. Longoria has been mired in a slump of late, collecting only five hits in 30 at-bats over his past 10 games.

Devers went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Royals.

Devers, who was named the AL Player of the Month for May, hasn't slowed down after the calendar flipped. He has three extra-base hits and has driven in six runs over the last three games. Devers ranks 12th in MLB with .316 batting average.

Moncada went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 6-4 loss to the Nationals on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old went deep in both installments of the two-game series against the Nationals, giving him three homers overall in the last six games. He is hitting .282 with 12 home runs, 37 RBI, 38 runs and five stolen bases in 234 at-bats this season.

LeMahieu went 3-for-5 with a home run and four overall RBI in Wednesday's 11-7 loss at Toronto.

LeMahieu broke a 4-4 tie with his three-run homer during the sixth inning, but the Yankees' bullpen was ultimately unable to hold the lead. The veteran infielder extended his hit streak to 10 games Wednesday and is hitting .283 with three home runs and 13 RBI in that span.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with a grand slam, double, stolen base and two runs scored Wednesday against the Brewers.

Anderson provided a spark to the Marlins' offense, connecting on a grand slam in the third inning to put the team up 5-1. It was his seventh home run of the season, five of which have come in his past 17 games. Anderson also chipped in his fourth stolen base of the campaign, giving him under-the-radar potential for meaningful production in the category. However, his hot stretch could be coming to a close with Miami heading back home to South Florida, as he's slugged just .358 in 125 plate appearances at Marlins Park.
