Peterson is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Miami.

Peterson, who's made 11 consecutive starts, will get the night off as Chase d'Arnaud makes a start at second base. Peterson currently has an 11-game hit streak going and is slashing .348/.375/.522 during that time.

Machado went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners.

The 23-year-old superstar plated Adam Jones in the eighth with two out to notch at least one RBI for his fourth straight game. Machado also extended his hitting streak to 10 games and made it four straight contests with multi-hit efforts, a feat he's accomplished in nine of his last 10 as well. Machado is putting together an MVP-caliber season and closes out June with a jaw-dropping .370/.396/.600 line over 100 at-bats that includes eight doubles, five homers, 21 RBI and 20 runs.

Bregman was called up to Triple-A Fresno on Thursday.

The 22-year-old has been phenomenal at Double-A Corpus Christi, hitting .297/.415/.559 with 14 home runs and 46 RBI in 62 games of action this season. Bregman recently played in the Texas League All-Star Game on Tuesday, and will earn his first chance to compete at the highest level in the minors. The 22-year-old could be a second-half addition to the surging Astros, but the team will like to see how he acclimates himself to pitching at the next level before calling him up to the majors.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with a home run in Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

Donaldson's 18th homer of the season was a solo shot with two outs in the third inning off rookie Tyler Anderson. According to Statcast, his blast was projected to travel 391 feet and left his bat at 99 mph. The reigning MVP has been teeing of this month, going 34-for-91 (.374) with five home runs, 23 RBI and 25 runs over 91 at-bats.

Asche went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI Wednesday at the Diamondbacks.

Asche capped off a four-run eighth inning with a sacrifice fly that gave the Phillies a temporary lead in a game they'd eventually win in extra innings. He's now collected an extra-base hit in six of his last eight games to raise his slugging percentage to .482.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, two runs and three RBI Wednesday at the Padres.

Machado drove in his first run on a single, which was part of a four-run fourth inning, and he later belted a ground-rule double to plate two more runs to extend the Orioles lead to 9-3, helping them to an easy victory. He's been absolutely on fire lately, as he's gone 23-for-40 over his last nine starts to raise his slash line to .332/.390/.611.

LeMahieu is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Blue Jays, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Although he'd hoped to play in Wednesday's game, LeMahieu's return has been postponed. However, with Colorado having Thursday off, he may return to action for Friday's contest against the Dodgers.

Longoria has put together his best month of the season to date in June, and is 6-for-13 with a double and two runs over his last three games.

The veteran has been progressively better each month this season, and has been at his best in June. After a 2-for-4 performance against the Red Sox on Tuesday that represented his second straight multi-hit effort, Longoria's June line is up to .309/.375/.649 with five doubles, nine homers, 17 RBI, 10 walks and 16 runs. The Rays offense continues to be starved for runs on most days, but the 30-year-old has managed to raise his average 14 points this month despite the team's struggles.

Donaldson went 2-for-5, walked, scored a run and drove in three in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

Donaldson extended his hitting streak to seven games with the effort, and Tuesday's marked the fifth of those games with two hits. He added a triple Tuesday, giving him five on the season, more than he hit in the past two years combined. After 84 extra-base hits in 158 games last year, Donaldson is on almost the exact same pace in 2016, with 40 extra-base hits through 77 games.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple Tuesday against the Mets.

Rendon's second-inning triple off starter Matt Harvey got the scoring started in what ended up being a one-sided 5-0 affair. He's having a very productive series with four hits and four RBI through two games, and gets another crack at the Mets on Wednesday.
