McMahon went 0-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Marlins.

McMahon knocked in a run with a fielder's choice in the fifth inning and promptly stole second. He's now 0-for-11 across the last three games, and his RBI was his third over the last 11 contests. For the season, the infielder is slashing a poor .216/.290/.377 with four home runs, four steals, 19 RBI and 21 runs scored through 47 games.

Jung went 2-for-4 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-1 victory over the Pirates.

Jung extended Texas' lead to 4-1 with a two-run single in the sixth inning before smacking his 11th home run of the year off Duane Underwood in the eighth. Jung has homered in three straight contests while extending his hitting streak to seven games. The rookie third baseman is now slashing .268/.316/.492 with 33 RBI and 33 runs scored through 193 plate appearances this season.

Machado (hand) took swings off a tee Tuesday, Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

Padres manager Bob Melvin told reporters after the workout that he's not sure when Machado will be ready to come off the injured list. He's first eligible for activation this Friday, though that would be fairly aggressive timeline given the star third baseman has a small fracture in his left hand. There should be more clarity on the situation after a few more days of treatment and baseball activity.

Paredes will start at third base Tuesday and bat seventh against the Blue Jays.

Paredes was initially absent from Tuesday's lineup, but Brandon Lowe's neck stiffness will force Paredes back into action. The 24-year-old third baseman has been on a mini cold-streak lately, slashing just .071/.133/.071 in his last five games.

Burger took grounders at second base pregame Tuesday, with White Sox manager Pedro Grifol saying he's open to using the 27-year-old at the position, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Grifol indicated back in mid-April that it was unlikely he'd use Burger at second base, but the latter's ongoing success at the plate has apparently led to the skipper reconsidering the matter. Burger does have modest experience at the keystone, but the White Sox certainly would be taking a hit defensively when he plays there. However, it might be worth it in order to keep his bat in the lineup when Eloy Jimenez (abdomen) returns.

Paredes isn't in the Rays' lineup for Tuesday's game against Toronto, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

The 24-year-old third baseman snapped a four-game hitless streak Monday and will now get a day off Tuesday. Taylor Walls will take over for Paredes at third base and bat sixth.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Donaldson (hamstring/thumb) is close to heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Boone also noted that Donaldson will be an everyday player when he returns from the 10-day injured list. Donaldson's right hamstring seemingly has been a non-issue for a little while now, but he had a setback recently when he sliced his thumb in a mishap at home. It's not clear how many rehab games Donaldson might require before being activated.

Burger is starting at designated hitter and batting second for the White Sox on Tuesday in Cleveland.

Burger comes into action Tuesday with a 1.234 OPS and three homers in 27 plate appearances this season against left-handed pitching, so he'll be up in the No. 2 spot versus southpaw Logan Allen. The slugger's 24.2 percent barrel rate in 2023 ranks second in baseball behind only Aaron Judge.

Suarez went 2-for-5 with three RBI from a pair of run-scoring singles in a win over the Athletics on Monday.

The veteran slugger got it done with some small ball Monday, extending Mariners leads to 8-0 and 10-2 with his timely sixth- and eight-inning knocks. Suarez has shown a knack for coming through in the clutch of late, collecting nine RBI on eight hits, including two home runs, over the last seven games.

Jung went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Pirates.

Jung singled in his first at-bat, and after being retired in back-to-back plate appearances, he launched a two-run home run in the ninth to cut Pittsburgh's lead to 6-4. It was the second straight game Jung hit a long ball, and he's also hit safely in 10 of his past 11 appearances. During that stretch, the 2019 first-round pick is slashing .318/.375/.477. On the season, he's hitting .263/.312/.474 with 10 homers and 30 RBI.
