Jordan went 3-for-5 with a triple, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.

Jordan opened the scoring with an RBI triple in the third inning before adding a two-run single in the fifth frame. Sunday's performance marked the rookie's second three-hit effort of the season, with his first coming July 3 against the Cubs. He was deployed as the everyday third baseman upon being promoted June 12 but has ceded playing time to Jose Fermin at the hot corner recently. In 88 plate appearances, Jordan is slashing .259/.273/.395 with seven extra-base hits (one homer), 17 RBI and nine runs scored.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Twins.

Bregman opened the scoring with a two-run blast off Zebby Matthews in the first inning, giving him his 10th home run of the season. The veteran infielder has begun to heat up after a slow first half, homering three times over his last five games. Bregman entered the All-Star break with a lackluster .241 average and .696 OPS, but his recent surge could be an encouraging sign that he's turning things up offensively.

Riley went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Rangers.

It was the 10th career multi-homer game from Riley, who recorded his second such effort of the campaign. The 29-year-old third baseman might finally be rediscovering his power stroke a bit in July, during which he's walloped four homers over 55 at-bats. Riley, who hit seventh in Atlanta's lineup Sunday, is still hitting just .217 and slugging only .361 en route to posting a career-worst .657 OPS over 398 trips to the plate, also tallying 12 homers, 13 doubles, 47 RBI and a career-high six stolen bases.

Mead went 1-for-3 with two walks, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.

Mead has gone 19-for-46 (.413) over 12 contests in July, hitting safely in 10 of those games. He's also logged nine extra-base hits and nine RBI in that span. He's up to a .256 batting average and .861 OPS on the year while adding 17 home runs, six steals, 48 RBI, 47 runs scored, 16 doubles and one triple over 83 contests in a breakout campaign.

White went 0-for-2 with a walk in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Nationals.

White made his major-league debut in Friday's series opener, going 1-for-4 with a double. After being held out of the lineup for Saturday's 15-1 win, White re-entered the starting nine at first base Sunday and went hitless but drew his first major-league walk in the bottom of the seventh inning. White will likely continue to see work at both first base and third base in the absence of Nick Kurtz (thumb) and Zack Gelof (knee).

Mayo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Astros.

Mayo launched a solo shot in the sixth inning before adding a single in the eighth. The 24-year-old has enjoyed a strong July so far, posting a 1.015 OPS with three homers through 10 games this month. With Blaze Alexander landing on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a broken hand, Mayo should have a fairly clear path to an everyday role at third base if he's able to maintain his hot-hitting ways.

McMahon is not in the starting lineup for the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

McMahon will head to the bench as New York looks to avoid being swept Sunday. The 31-year-old went 0-for-3 in the matinee, and he'll be replaced at the hot corner by Jose Caballero in the series finale.

The Astros recalled Delgado from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Delgado will make his way back up to the big-league club after a two-week stint in Triple-A. The 26-year-old is expected to serve as a utility infielder for Houston after producing a .267/.313/.400 batting line with one home and four RBI in his first 33 big-league plate appearances.

Lewis (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting cleanup Sunday against the Cubs.

Lewis was held out of Saturday's starting nine due to left hamstring soreness but will rejoin the lineup Sunday after missing just one game. Since returning to the Twins in early June after a brief stay at Triple-A St. Paul, the 27-year-old has a .258/.319/.484 slash line with eight doubles, seven homers, three steals, 16 RBI and 19 runs in 33 games.

The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Pauley will return to the big-league club after spending a couple of weeks in Triple-A. In the majors this season, the 25-year-old has slashed .176/.219/.297 with one homer and 11 RBI. To make room for Pauley on the roster, Miami optioned Rece Hinds to Jacksonville.
