  • Will Wagner 2B | SD

    Blue Jays' Will Wagner: Returns from restricted list

    The Blue Jays reinstated Wagner from the restricted list Monday.

    Wagner was away from the club for the previous two days so that he could attend his father's Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cooperstown. He will start at third base and bat ninth in Monday's game versus the Orioles.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Taking seat Monday

    Arenado is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

    Arenado has gone 1-for-13 at the plate during the first four games of the Cardinals' homestand and appears to be getting a routine day off Monday. Thomas Saggese will cover third base and bat eighth for the Cardinals.

  • Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU

    Luis Guillorme: Bound for free agency

    Guillorme (hamstring) elected free agency Monday after the Astros activated him from the 10-day injured list and outrighted him off the 40-man roster.

    Guillorme had been on the shelf since July 2 due to a right hamstring strain, but he's healthy again after completing a two-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land last week. The Astros didn't have a spot available for Guillorme on the 26-man active roster, and after he went unclaimed off waivers, he'll now have the ability to choose his next destination. Before getting hurt, the 30-year-old utility infielder had appeared in 12 games for Houston and went 3-for-20 with a walk and two runs.

  • Oswald Peraza 3B | LAA

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Losing time after McMahon trade

    Peraza is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

    Peraza will hit the bench for the third game in a row and will likely see limited use in a utility role for the foreseeable future after the Yankees addressed their need for an everyday third baseman by acquiring Ryan McMahon from the Rockies over the weekend. Before McMahon's arrival, Peraza had been serving as New York's primary option at the hot corner, but the 25-year-old has slashed just .152/.212/.241 over 170 plate appearances with the Yankees on the season and doesn't look ready for extended playing time in the majors.

  • Andy Ibanez 3B | DET

    Tigers' Andy Ibanez: Rejoins major-league club

    The Tigers recalled Ibanez from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Ibanez has been with Toledo since early June but will get another chance in the big leagues after slashing .268/.376/.437 this month in the minors. The 32-year-old should see some reps for the Tigers against left-handed pitching and will enter the lineup Monday against the Diamondbacks, manning third base and batting sixth.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Chips in insurance runs

    Hayes went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

    Hayes delivered a two-RBI single in the eighth inning to give the Pirates a 6-0 lead. He had a mediocre nine-game homestand, going 8-for-33 with two doubles, five RBI and four runs scored. Despite the decent stretch, Hayes is still hitting just .208 across 20 games in July.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Plays hero Sunday

    Bregman went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.

    Bregman provided the winning knock with his two-run shot in the fifth inning. It was his second homer since being activated off the injured list 11 games ago. Also of note, Bregman made a third consecutive start Sunday. Red Sox manager Alex Cora had managed the third baseman's time since returning, never having Bregman start more than two consecutive games.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Knocks in two in win

    Jung went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 8-1 win over Atlanta.

    Whether coincidental or not, the Rangers are riding a six-game winning streak that began when the club recalled Jung from Triple-A Round Rock. He's hit safely in all six games, going 8-for-18 with with one home run and four RBI while back up in the majors.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Stays hot at plate

    Garcia went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and an RBI groundout during Sunday's 4-1 win over Cleveland.

    After going 4-for-7 with two triples and a homer in Saturday's doubleheader, Garcia launched another home run Sunday, taking David Festa yard in the fifth inning. In his last 15 games, Garcia is 15-for-58 (.259) with 11 runs scored and a 4:6 BB:K. He has a .754 OPS on the season.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Clubs pair of homers

    Chapman went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Mets.

    Chapman's second blast put the Giants ahead 3-2 in the fifth inning, but the lead didn't stick. The third baseman went 3-for-12 with two homers and five strikeouts over three games against the Mets after an elbow injury scare Wednesday versus Atlanta that ultimately didn't cost him a full game of action. Chapman is up to a .243/.351/.459 slash line with 16 homers, 41 RBI, 49 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 82 contests this season.
