Barger went 4-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

The knocks had exit velocities ranging from 98.7 mph on his sixth-inning double to 108.3 mph on a fourth-inning leadoff single, as Barger recorded his first career four-hit game. The 25-year-old continues to scorch the ball in a breakout campaign, and through 14 contests in July he's batting .347 (17-for-49) with four doubles, four homers, two steals, 10 runs and 14 RBI.

The Phillies placed Bohm on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a fractured left rib.

Bohm took a pitch off his ribcage last Saturday, which caused him to miss the final game before the All-Star break. He attempted to play through it Friday, but imaging revealed a fracture after the game, so he'll now spend time on the IL while Otto Kemp fills in as Philadelphia's third baseman. Weston Wilson was recalled from Triple-A to replenish the Phillies' infield depth.

Lewis is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup versus Colorado.

Lewis will begin on the bench for Minnesota's second game of the second half after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout Friday. The Twins are starting Brooks Lee at third base Saturday, while Willi Castro is handling second base.

Bohm isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

Bohm will get a chance to rest Saturday after going 0-for-4 in the Phillies' first game back from the break. Otto Kemp will fill the void at third base and bat sixth.

McMahon went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Friday against the Twins.

McMahon capped off a four-run first inning for the Rockies with his 14th home run of the season. He continues to struggle to hit for average, as he's gone just 19-for-98 (.194) across his last 27 games, but McMahon does have five home runs in that span.

Pauley went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's extra-inning win over the Royals.

Getting the start at third base and batting eighth, Pauley swiped his first career bag in the majors. While speed isn't seen as a big part of his game, the 24-year-old did go 23-for-28 on steal attempts across three levels in the Padres' system in 2023, and he's 6-for-6 this season between Triple-A Jacksonville and the Marlins. Pauley is expected to fill the strong side of a platoon at third base while Connor Norby (wrist) is on the shelf, and through 34 games this season with Jacksonville he's slashed .258/.338/.492 with seven homers and 17 RBI.

Boston manager Alex Cora said Bregman will play four of the six games on the team's current road trip, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Bregman was activated off the injured list last week and played two of three games prior to the All-Star break. He started the first game back from the break Friday and will start again Saturday before getting Sunday off. The manager said Bregman will start Monday and Tuesday in Philadelphia before getting Wednesday off.

Durbin went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI double in Friday's 2-0 win over the Dodgers.

Durbin was the Brewers' offense in this contest, turning in the only multi-hit effort for either team. He opened the scoring with the RBI double in the fifth inning, then added his solo shot for insurance in the seventh. The infielder has been steady in July, going 11-for-30 (.367) over 12 games. He's up to a .265/.350/.382 slash line with five homers, 34 RBI, 35 runs scored, 13 doubles and eight stolen bases over 276 plate appearances.

Machado went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Friday's 7-2 win over the Nationals.

Machado launched the dagger Friday, crushing a grand slam off Kyle Finnegan in the top of the ninth as part of a five-run inning for the Padres. It was the 33-year-old's 18th long ball of the year and fourth in the last eight games, a stretch in which the veteran slugger is batting 10-for-32 (.313) with eight RBI and a 1.110 OPS. Machado has been excellent at the plate this season and continues to come through in big moments for San Diego.

Caminero went 3-for-5 with a pair of two-run home runs in Friday's 11-1 win over Baltimore.

It was the seventh game of the season with at least three hits for Caminero, who also piled up at least four RBI for the fourth time this year. Since the beginning of June, the third baseman is slashing .245/.301/.523 with 12 homers, six doubles, 27 RBI and two stolen bases over 166 plate appearances. Friday was also Caminero's second career multi-homer effort, and he continues to showcase the slugging prowess that once made him one of baseball's top prospects.
