Ramirez went 3-for-4 with two homers, three RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-3 victory over the Royals.

Ramirez did it all in the Guardians' win, opening the scoring with a two-run homer in the first inning before adding a solo shot in the third. He also added a walk and a base hit while swiping his 13th bag of the year. Ramirez has been swinging the bat well of late, going 14-for-38 (.368) in his last nine games. The 30-year-old third baseman is putting together another strong season -- he's now slashing .292/.362/.501 with 16 homers, 60 RBI and 64 runs scored across 439 plate appearances.

Baty is not in the lineup Wednesday versus the Yankees.

Mark Vientos will start at third base and bat second as the Mets take on southpaw Carlos Rodon. The left-handed-hitting Baty has slashed just .175/.203/.298 in 61 plate appearances versus lefties this year.

Henderson (back) is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's tilt in Philadelphia, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Henderson was forced to depart Tuesday's loss to the Phillies with lower back discomfort. He's feeling better, though, and expects to be ready to go Friday versus the Yankees following Thursday's off day. Jorge Mateo is at shortstop Wednesday.

Machado went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in a 5-1 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Machado hit one of three homers for the Padres in the contest, producing the team's first run with a solo shot in the second inning. It was the continuance of a July power surge for the third baseman, who has gone deep 11 times through 20 games this month. That has pushed him to 20 long balls and 58 RBI to go along with three steals, 50 runs and a .257/.316/.472 slash line on the campaign.

Arenado is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Arizona.

Arenado gets a rare day off after he had an eight-game hitting streak snapped Tuesday. Taylor Motter will get the start at third base in place of Arenado.

Moustakas went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over Detroit.

Moustakas opened the scoring with a two-run double in the first inning, extending his hitting streak to four games -- he's gone 5-for-17 with two doubles and a home run over that span. Overall, the veteran infielder is slashing a respectable .258/.333/.447 with nine homers, 30 RBI and 31 runs scored across 216 plate appearances between Los Angeles and Colorado. Moustakas should continue to see regular playing time between first and third base while Brandon Drury (shoulder) and Anthony Rendon (shin) are sidelined.

Toro was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Toro will return to the big leagues after being sent down June 14, having produced a .337 average with 19 extra-base hits, including five homers, over 101 at-bats in 27 games with Nashville since his demotion. The 26-year-old will replace Jesse Winker (back) on the major-league roster after Winker was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Segura is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Segura will get a second straight Wednesday off while Jon Berti checks in for him at third base. While starting each of the Marlins' last four games, Segura went 3-for-15 with no runs or RBI.

Moncada went 0-for-3 with an RBI against the Cubs on Tuesday.

Moncada returned from a six-week absence caused by a back issue to start at third base and hit fifth. He struck out twice but managed a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning. There was some concern about Moncada's potential for playing time given the power production of Jake Burger while Moncada was sidelined, though Burger slid to second base Tuesday. That could leave both Zach Remillard and Elvis Andrus as the biggest playing-time losers due to Moncada's return.

Gelof went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Giants.

Gelof's gone hitless in just three of his first 10 major-league games, with his 0-fer Tuesday ending a modest four-game streak. The second baseman was able to pick up his third steal and his first since he swiped two bags July 15. He's batting .250 with a home run, three RBI and six runs scored while often batting first or second in the Athletics' weak-hitting lineup.
