Peterson was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Peterson's whirlwind season continues as he makes his third big-league stint after being sent down to Triple-A on Tuesday. The utility infielder is batting just .183 with 32 strikeouts in 47 games this season and will likely serve as a bench bat until Danny Santana (infection) is able to return to action.

Robinson was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Robinson makes the journey up to the big leagues again after going 8-for-34 with five RBI during the past eight games with Round Rock. The shortstop was recalled to the team a little over a week ago, blasting a home run and a double in a win over the Yankees before getting sent back down to Triple-A. With Elvis Andrus on paternity leave, Robinson could get a little action on the field, although Jurickson Profar is in Friday's lineup at short against the Angels.

Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and three RBI during Thursday's win over San Diego.

Ramirez entered Thursday with a jaw-dropping 1.370 OPS, seven homers, 15 RBI and 26 runs through his previous 22 games, as he continues to legitimize his status as an elite fantasy asset this season. He's up to a .330/.382/.597 slash line with 16 bombs, 45 RBI, nine stolen bases and 60 runs for the year, and his eligibility at multiple positions only boosts his value.

Escobar went 2-for-4 with a run and two RBI in Thursday's win over the Orioles.

His two-run triple in the third inning helped push the Twins' lead to 5-3 and he came around to score on a fielder's choice later in the inning. Escobar continues to showcase his defensive versatility as well as he made his 27th appearance of the season at the hot corner with Miguel Sano sliding over to first base in place of the injured Joe Mauer. He's hitting .333 with two extra base hits thus far in July.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run during Thursday's win over Houston.

After receiving a breather Wednesday and starting the month in an 0-for-13 slump, this was an encouraging showing form for Donaldson. He's been limited to just 43 games and owns a disappointing .238/.350/.457 slash line for the campaign, but there's still potential for a strong second half. Pouncing on a buy-low opportunity could pay off handsomely.

Suarez went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and an RBI in Thursday's 6-3 win over Colorado.

Suarez drove in his 44th run of the season on a fifth-inning single then came around to score for the 47th time in the eighth. His .446 slugging percentage is exactly in line with Suarez's 2015 mark, but his .363 OBP following this performance is easily a career best. That improvement is likely sustainable given that the infielder sports a career-high 12.4 percent walk rate and a .312 BABIP that's .004 lower than his career mark.

Rivera was called up by the Brewers on Thursday.

The team placed Eric Sogard on the disabled list with an ankle injury prior to Thursday's game against the Cubs, bringing Rivera up for his first major-league call-up of the season. Rivera will provide infield depth while Sogard recovers, but hasn't exactly been tearing it up at the Triple-A level with Colorado Springs this season, batting just .238/.296/.337 in 71 games this year.

LeMahieu (groin) will be back in the lineup for Thursday's afternoon game against Cincinnati, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

LeMahieu makes his return to the field after missing the past two games, and five of the previous seven while dealing with a groin injury. During the two games in between, the second baseman went 5-for-9 at the plate, and appears good to go after being available to serve as a pinch hitter Wednesday. LeMahieu is back at his normal position while batting second for Thursday's contest.

Arenado is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Reds, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Arenado will get a rare day off for the first time since June 11. The All-Star has been swinging the bat well all year, and is hitting .308/.364/.359 over the course of the last 10 games. He will likely be back in the lineup for the series opener against the White Sox on Friday.

Moncada is hitting .237 with two home runs, one stolen base and a 14:4 K:BB in his last 10 games (38 at-bats) for Triple-A Charlotte.

His season line still sits at a respectable .282/.380/.455 with 11 home runs and 16 steals on 21 attempts, but it is hard to say he is really forcing the White Sox's hand with regards to a promotion to the big leagues. Once he starts cutting down on the multi-strikeout games against Triple-A pitching, he could get a look at some point in the second half. He has played every game at second base this season, so while he only qualifies at third base in most formats, he should gain eligibility at the keystone shortly after his eventual promotion.
