Karros went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Saturday against the Giants.

Karros was not in the starting lineup, but he pinch-hit for Sterlin Thompson in the seventh inning and went yard for his third home run of the season, and second in his last four games. Karros has struggled to a .208 batting average across 185 plate appearances, and his playing time has started to slip over the last three weeks.

Bohm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.

Bohm got the Phillies on the board with his second-inning solo shot. His bat has cooled down after a surge in the middle of May -- he's 10 games removed from his last multi-hit effort, going 6-for-36 (.167) with two homers and three RBI in that span. The third baseman continues to fill a starting role, but he's hitting a tepid .208 with a .602 OPS, six homers, 24 RBI, 17 runs scored, seven doubles and no stolen bases over 54 contests this season.

Emerson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

This was Emerson's first homer since he logged his first career hit versus the White Sox on May 18. The infielder has displayed decent power so far with two homers and three doubles over hist first 12 big-league contests, and he's batting .237 with an .852 OPS, seven RBI, six runs scored and a triple.

Jung went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Royals.

The third baseman took Seth Lugo deep in the first inning, and his last hit of the afternoon came as part of Texas' three-run rally in the ninth inning to walk it off. It was Jung's seventh homer of the season and second in the last three games, and over 25 games in May he's batting .307 (31-for-101) with six RBI and 15 runs scored.

Arenado (undisclosed) was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Mariners.

Per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, Arenado was removed from the lineup due to precautionary reasons. The veteran third baseman had been dealing with groin issue before suffering an arm injury as a pinch hitter Friday after being hit by a pitch. Jose Fernandez will start at third base and bat eighth.

The Yankees placed Rosario on the paternity list prior to Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Rosario can be away from the Yankees for up to three days while on the paternity list, meaning he'll likely be back for Tuesday's series opener against the Guardians. The veteran utility man has gone 9-for-31 (.290) with two home runs, seven RBI and six runs scored in 11 games since May 1.

Arenado (arm/groin) is starting at third base and batting out of the cleanup spot against the Mariners on Saturday.

Arenado was out of Friday's lineup due to groin soreness but was brought in as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. However, the veteran third baseman was removed from the game after being hit by a pitch in the arm, though neither issue appears to be severe enough for Arenado to be held out of the lineup for Saturday's contest. He has gone 9-for-32 with one steal, five extra-base hits and seven RBI over his last 10 outings.

Machado went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Nationals.

Machado launched a solo blast in the fourth inning before adding an RBI double in the eighth, notching his first multi-hit effort since May 3. The third baseman has gone deep four times over his past 10 games, though he's hit just 6-for-36 during that stretch. For the year, he's slashing a disappointing .178/.272/.360 with 10 homers, 30 RBI, 28 runs scored and one stolen base across 229 plate appearances.

Muncy is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Phillies on Saturday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

With the Phillies sending southpaw Jesus Luzardo to the mound, the lefty-hitting Muncy will open Saturday's game on the bench while Santiago Espinal starts at third base and bats ninth. Since May 1, Muncy has gone 14-for-69 (.203) with four home runs, nine RBI and 14 runs scored.

Garcia was removed from Saturday's game against the Rangers with a right hamstring strain, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Garcia injured himself while running from first to third base in the seventh inning and was immediately replaced on the basepaths. The severity of his injury is unknown, though there's a strong chance that he will require a trip to the injured list, which would likely leave Nick Loftin as the next man up to start at third base for Kansas City.
