Graham Pauley 3B | MIA
Marlins' Graham Pauley: Back with Miami
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.

Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: May avoid rehab assignment
Ramirez (hand) may not require a rehab assignment before his activation from the 10-day injured list, MLB.com reports.
Ramirez, who recently ramped up to facing live pitching, is still on target to meet his initial 5-7 week recovery timeline. If he avoids an assignment, Ramirez could rejoin the Guardians at some point in late July.

Colt Keith 3B | DET
Tigers' Colt Keith: Tallies four hits Saturday
Keith went 4-for-4 with a run and two RBI in a 7-0 victory versus the Angels on Saturday.
All four of Keith's knocks were singles, and he added a sacrifice fly to round out a big day at the plate. Not only did the four hits represent a season-high mark, but Saturday snapped a 22-contest stretch without a multi-hit performance for Keith. He batted a paltry .169 with a .624 OPS during that span, so fantasy managers in shallow leagues are likely going to want to see a prolonged period of production before plucking Keith off the waiver wire.

Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Searching for rhythm
Bohm went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Mets.
Despite Saturday's productive showing, Bohm has still struggled overall in what's arguably been a career-worst season so far. The multi-hit game was his first since July 4 in Kansas City, and the RBI was his first since July 6. Through 383 trips to the plate to this point, the third baseman is slashing a miserable .216/.277/.351 with 11 home runs, 14 doubles, 48 RBI and 31 runs scored.

Zack Gelof 3B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Progressing to baseball activities
The Athletics announced that Gelof will begin baseball activities once the stitches on his right knee are removed Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Gelof landed on the 10-day injured list July 10 right due to a right knee laceration. He'll ramp up his rehab program once the stitches in his knee are removed, and if Gelof responds well to workouts, he could bypass a rehab assignment before returning from the IL. Before hitting the shelf, Gelof slashed .273/.327/.476 with 11 home runs, eight steals, 41 runs and 29 RBI across 247 plate appearances with the Athletics.

Curtis Mead 3B | BOS
Nationals' Curtis Mead: Getting breather Saturday
Mead isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Mead will get a chance to catch his breath after beginning the second half by going 4-for-6 with three doubles, three RBI and four runs scored during Friday's 23-4 rout. Jorbit Vivas will pick up a start at third base as a result and bat eighth.
-
Gabriel Arias 3B | CLE
Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Sitting down in Game 2
Arias isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates.
Arias struck out three times in four at-bats during Cleveland's 7-1 loss in the matinee, and he'll now retreat to the bench while Daniel Schneemann mans the hot corner in Game 2.

Miles Mastrobuoni 3B | SEA
Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: DFA'd by Seattle
The Mariners designated Mastrobuoni for assignment Saturday.
After having his contract selected by Seattle on July 3, Mastrobuoni made only three at-bats for the big-league club before being DFA'd on Saturday. This marks the second time the 30-year-old has been designated for assignment by Seattle this campaign. With Julio Rodriguez coming back from the 7-day injured list, the Mariners needed to make room for him on the active roster.
-
David Hamilton 3B | MIL
Brewers' David Hamilton: Nearing rehab assignment
Manager Pat Murphy said that Hamilton (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Hamilton landed on the injured list July 7 due to a strained left hamstring, and although he wasn't able to return immediately after the All-Star break, he doesn't appear to be too far away from activation. Joey Ortiz has filled in admirably as Hamilton's replacement at third base, posting a 1.054 OPS in Milwaukee's last eight games. The two players may split time at the hot corner more evenly once Hamilton is reinstated from the IL.

Kyle Karros 3B | COL
Rockies' Kyle Karros: Resting up Saturday
Karros isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.
Karros will retreat to the bench Saturday after going 0-for-4 with a run scored during a 7-2 loss in Friday's series opener. While Karros rests, Willi Castro will start at the hot corner and bat fifth.
