Graham Pauley 3B | MIA
Marlins' Graham Pauley: Recalled from Triple-A
The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.
Pauley sports just a .165/.211/.271 batting line across 33 games during his time with the Marlins this season. Miami has received very little offensively from third base, so Pauley could get another chance there, but there's no guarantee he'll play regularly.

Luis Rengifo 3B | SD
Padres' Luis Rengifo: Gets MiLB deal from Padres
The Padres signed Rengifo to a minor-league contract Friday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Rengifo was officially released by the Brewers earlier this week after slashing only .205/.280/.254 with no home runs across 57 contests. The utility player is hitting just .229/.285/.313 in the majors since the beginning of the 2025 season, but he offers plenty of versatility and could get another chance with the big club sooner rather than later.

Kazuma Okamoto 3B | TOR
Blue Jays' Kazuma Okamoto: Goes yard again Thursday
Okamoto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Thursday's loss to the Rangers.
The 29-year-old third baseman made things interesting in the ninth inning by crushing a fastball from Texas closer Jacob Latz 420 feet to straightaway center field, but the Blue Jays' late rally came up short. Okamoto has homered in three of the last five games, and over 21 contests in June he's produced a .316/.384/.605 slash line with four doubles, six long balls, 14 runs and 18 RBI as he makes a push to start for the American League in the All-Star Game during his first season in MLB.

Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS
Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Hits huge homer off Schlittler
Durbin went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a walk in a 6-3 win over the Yankees on Thursday.
Durbin had arguably the biggest hit of the game when he swatted a two-run homer to left field off Cam Schlittler in the fifth inning to break a 2-2 tie. Durbin also singled in the second inning to finish with his fifth multi-hit game over his past seven contests. He's been red hot over that stretch, batting .500 (12-for-24) with a pair of homers, three doubles, five runs, five RBI and two stolen bases.

Graham Pauley 3B | MIA
Marlins' Graham Pauley: Joining big-league roster
Pauley is expected to be called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Pauley will return to the major-league roster after being optioned to Jacksonville on May 29. The 25-year-old posted a .246 average with nine extra-base hits, including two homers, while also adding 11 RBI, seven runs scored and three stolen bases over 17 contests at the Triple-A level following his demotion. Connor Norby is expected to be sent to Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Nolan Arenado: On bench Thursday
Arenado is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals.
Arenado is getting some rest for the first time in June after starting the first 22 games of the month. During that span, the veteran third baseman slashed .173/.227/.247 with one home run and three doubles in 81 at-bats. Ildemaro Vargas is starting at third base and batting eighth Thursday.

Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS
Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Back in Boston lineup
Durbin (finger) will start at third base and bat sixth in Thursday's contest versus the Yankees.
Durbin had to leave Wednesday's game against the Rockies due to a partial dislocation of his left pinkie finger. While Durbin's finger surely isn't fully recovered, he will attempt to play through the injury.
