  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Grabbing seat Wednesday

    Hayes is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee.

    Hayes is in the midst of a modest five-game hitting streak but will receive a day off in Wednesday's series finale. Jared Triolo will start at third base and bat seventh for the Pirates.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Out again Wednesday, as expected

    Suarez (hand) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the White Sox.

    Suarez is still experiencing swelling in his right hand as a result of being hit by a pitch in Monday's 10-0 win over Chicago and will miss a second straight start. The expectation is that he will avoid the 10-day injured list, although more will be known after Suarez undergoes an MRI once the swelling in his hand subsides. Tim Tawa will cover third base and bat ninth for the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

  • Marcelo Mayer 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Three-hit effort in Tuesday's loss

    Mayer went 3-for-4 with a triple, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

    Mayer went 0-for-11 with one walk and four strikeouts over his previous four games. He had an RBI single in the 10th inning to briefly put the Red Sox ahead Tuesday, but they ultimately lost in the bottom of the frame. Mayer continues to receive steady playing time versus right-handed pitchers, but this was his first multi-hit effort since June 11 versus the Rays. He's batting .216 with a .718 OPS, four home runs, seven RBI, 12 runs scored, three doubles, one triple and no steals over his first 26 major-league games.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS

    Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Drives in three runs

    Durbin went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.

    Durbin singled and scored in the third inning before ripping a three-run shot in the fourth. He's produced multiple hits in four of his last eight contests, going 11-for-31 (.355) during that span. Durbin is now slashing .236/.320/.351 with 14 extra-base hits and 29 RBI through 59 games.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Expected to miss multiple days

    Suarez (hand) is expected to miss multiple games while dealing with swelling in his right hand, Casey Drottar of MLB.com reports.

    Suarez was hit in the right hand by a fastball in the first inning of Monday's contest against the White Sox. The third baseman is dealing with "a ton of swelling," and there's a "minimal chance that he plays in a game" over the next couple of days, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Once the swelling goes down, Suarez will undergo an MRI, but Lovullo doesn't expect the veteran to require a stint on the injured list. With an off day looming Thursday, Suarez could be ready to return to the lineup for Friday's series opener versus the Marlins at the earliest.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Likely back in lineup Wednesday

    Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Tuesday that "all indications" are that Westburg (finger) will be ready to return to the lineup Wednesday against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Westburg will miss a third straight start Tuesday with a sprained left index finger. There's a chance the Orioles will hold him out Wednesday with an off day looming Thursday, but Mansolino said Westburg will "definitely" play Friday, if not before.

  • Addison Barger 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Barger is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Cleveland.

    Barger sat out Saturday's game due to hip discomfort before returning to the lineup Sunday, but he finds himself back on the bench for Tuesday's series opener versus the Guardians. It has yet to be reported that the 25-year-old has aggravated the injury, so it may simply be a rest day. Jonatan Clase is starting in right field and batting seventh Tuesday for Toronto.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Will sit out Tuesday

    Suarez (hand) won't be included in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

    X-rays on Suarez's right hand came back negative after he was struck by a pitch in his lone plate appearance in Monday's 10-0 win, but he'll get at least one game off while he waits for the soreness and bruising on his hand to subside. Arizona will likely turn to Ildemaro Vargas or Tim Tawa to fill in for Suarez at third base.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Making progress with running

    Lewis (hamstring) began some change-of-direction running Monday, MLB.com reports.

    It sounds like he hasn't progressed to running the bases, however. Lewis will likely continue to ramp up a running program this week before the Twins consider sending him on a rehab assignment. It's still possible he could return in early July.

  • Brady House 3B | WAS

    Nationals' Brady House: Nabs second steal

    House went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Padres.

    The 22-year-old rookie notched his first extra-base hit in the majors with his ninth-inning two-bagger. While House's power hasn't shown up yet for the Nationals, he's surprisingly stolen two bags in two attempts over eight MLB games after failing in his only attempt in 65 contests for Triple-A Rochester prior to his promotion. Through his first 35 plate appearances for the Nats, House is slashing .250/.286/.281.
