Shaw went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI triple, a walk and a second run scored in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Cardinals.

Shaw had gone 13 games without multiple hits, batting just .231 (9-for-39), albeit with three homers and four doubles, in that span. The third baseman contributed his hits in the third and fifth innings but wasn't able to threaten for a cycle. The rookie is up to eight homers, 28 RBI, 39 runs scored, 14 stolen bases, 15 doubles, one triple and a .227/.292/.383 slash line through 82 games this season.

Marte went 3-for-4 with three doubles, one run scored and one RBI in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Pirates.

Marte got the Reds on the board with an RBI double in the fourth inning before scoring the game-winning run in the seventh. It was a much-needed showing for the 23-year-old, who entered the game in a 2-for-18 slump through six August contests. For the season, he's slashing .277/.320/.482 with seven homers, 29 RBI, 23 runs scored and seven steals across 178 plate appearances.

Mayer has yet to resume baseball activities since landing on the injured list July 25 due to a sprained right wrist, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Mayer received an anti-inflammatory injection Aug. 2, but he's taken longer to bounce back from the sprained wrist than anticipated. The Red Sox's plan was to see how he felt after three days and have him begin baseball activities if the injection had the desired effect, but he's taking part in only individual workouts as of Saturday. Surgery is viewed as an option, but Mayer is still attempting to return this season.

Lopez agreed to a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Saturday, Tommy Birch of The Des Moines Register reports.

Lopez will report to Triple-A Iowa for what will be his third stint of the season with the Cubs organization. The veteran infielder has appeared in 19 games in the majors with the Cubs and Angels in 2025 but has spent the majority of his time at the Triple-A level. Across stops with the Diamondbacks' and Yankees' Triple-A affiliates, Lopez has slashed .266/.316/.323 with zero home runs and five stolen bases over 41 games.

Barger is not in the Blue Jays' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Saturday.

Barger will begin Saturday's game on the bench, with Myles Straw in right field and Buddy Kennedy drawing the start at third base. Barger has logged two hits in three of his last four games and has gone 9-for-29 (.310) with two home runs and eight RBI in seven games since the beginning of August.

Alvarez isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Miami.

After striking out in all four of his trips to the plate during Game 1, Alvarez will remain on the bench for the final half of Saturday's festivities. Luke Williams will get the nod to start at third base instead and bat eighth.

Mauricio isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.

Mauricio will pick out a seat on the bench Saturday after going 0-for-10 with two walks and four strikeouts to begin the month of August. While he sits, Mark Vientos will start at the hot corner with Starling Marte working as the DH.

Caminero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.

His sixth-inning shot off Luis Castillo gave the Rays a 2-0 lead, but the bullpen couldn't close things out. Caminero has been swinging a loud bat since the All-Star break, slashing .273/.310/.597 over his last 20 games with eight of his 31 homers on the season, and 17 of his 77 RBI.

Karros went 1-for-3 with a walk and one RBI in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Karros didn't have to wait long to check off a couple of milestones, supplying his first RBI on his first hit, a second-inning single. He'll presumably have plenty of chances to hold down a large share of playing time at third base while Orlando Arcia (elbow) is out. Karros has displayed a quality hit tool in the minors this year, slashing a combined .301/.398/.476 over 75 games between Double-A, Triple-A and a rehab assignment in rookie ball. He's also shown strong plate discipline with a 12.7 percent walk rate and an 18.5 percent strikeout rate, but the power is lacking. Karros has hit just six total homers in the minors this year after supplying a modest 15 long balls in 123 games with High-A Spokane in 2024.

Alexander went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a hit-by-pitch and four RBI in Friday's 6-1 win over the Rockies.

Alexander opened the scoring with a three-run double in the first inning before adding a solo shot in the fourth. He's taken over as Arizona's starting third baseman since Eugenio Suarez was traded to Seattle. The increase in playing time has worked well -- Alexander is 8-for-25 (.320) with four extra-base hits over seven games in August. For the season, he's at a .240/.329/.400 slash line with two homers, 10 RBI, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases through 87 plate appearances.
