  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Tags Ohtani for homer

    Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.

    A day after making his first career start in center field, Marte served as the Reds' right fielder Wednesday. He accounted for Cincinnati's only run of the contest when he swatted a solo homer off Shohei Ohtani in the third inning. Marte came into the game in a 3-for-19 stretch at the plate, which was on the heels of an 11-game hitting streak during which he batted a robust .447.

  • Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Launches sixth homer Wednesday

    Alexander went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Milwaukee.

    Alexander smashed his sixth homer of the campaign, with each blast having come in the month of August. With Eugenio Suarez now in Seattle, Alexander is set to continue operating as Arizona's primary third baseman for the remainder of the year. The 26-year-old infielder is batting just .236 but has four doubles, 13 RBI and 12 runs scored over his last 89 at-bats.

  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Extends hitting streak to 10 games

    Vientos went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Phillies.

    It was Vientos' seventh game of the year with at least three RBI, and he also swatted his 13th homer of the season. The 25-year-old slugger's .723 OPS in 2025 is disappointing after he posted an .838 OPS in the 2024 regular season, though he's now riding a 10-game hitting streak. During that span, Vientos is batting .395 with six big flies, four doubles and 17 RBI over his last 38 at-bats.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Homers again Wednesday

    Suarez went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer, a stolen base and a second run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Padres.

    After scoring the game's opening run on a Luke Raley double in the second inning, Suarez extended Seattle's lead to 4-0 with his 42nd homer this season, a 382-foot shot off Yu Darvish. Suarez has now homered in back-to-back games after going 0-for-8 in his previous three contests. Overall, he's slashing .237/.309/.549 with 104 RBI, 78 runs scored and four stolen bases across 537 plate appearances between the Mariners and Diamondbacks this year.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Idle against lefty again

    Moncada is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    The Angels will hold the switch-hitting Moncada out of the lineup for a second straight game while the Halos face off against another lefty starter (Jacob Latz). Luis Rengifo will pick up the start at third base, but Moncada should continue to serve as the top option at the position when the Angels face right-handed pitchers.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Early stages of throwing program

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Wednesday that Arenado (shoulder) is in the early stages of a throwing program while rehabbing at the team's spring training complex in Florida, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Arenado has missed all of August with a right shoulder strain and doesn't appear on track to return at the beginning of September when rosters expand. The hope remains that the veteran third baseman will make it back in action at some point this season, but until then, Nolan Gorman will continue to hold down the hot corner for the Cardinals.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Day-to-day with hairline fracture

    Clement has been diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his left middle finger and also received 10 stitches in his left shin as a result of a collision at third base in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Twins, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Clement is out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale, but he's considered day-to-day, and the Blue Jays have no current plans to put him on the 10-day injured list. The belief is that Clement won't do any further damage by playing through the finger injury, so his availability will come down to a matter of pain tolerance. Addison Barger will start at third base Wednesday in place of Clement, who could return to action for the weekend series with the Brewers following Thursday's team off day.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Out of Toronto lineup

    Clement is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Twins.

    Clement has reached base four times in the first two games of the series, but before that, he had been stuck in a 3-for-37 slump at the plate. He'll begin Wednesday's series finale on the bench while Addison Barger mans third base.

  • Vimael Machin 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Vimael Machin: Scrubbed from 40-man roster

    The Orioles designated Machin for assignment Wednesday.

    Machin saw a bit of playing time at third base in the Orioles' initial games without Jordan Westburg (ankle), going 1-for-11 with a home run following his promotion from Triple-A Norfolk last Friday. However, Machin didn't make a strong enough impression to earn a long-term stay in Baltimore, and he'll be replaced on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster by infielder Emmanuel Rivera, who was called up from Norfolk.

  • Orioles' Emmanuel Rivera: Back in big leagues

    The Orioles selected Rivera's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

    Rivera has been up and down multiple times between Norfolk and Baltimore this season, slashing only .229/.299/.271 over 26 games with the big club. He could see a decent amount of playing time at third base while Jordan Westburg (ankle) is on the injured list.
