  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Dealing with hamstring issue

    Paredes was pulled from Saturday's game versus Seattle due to right hamstring discomfort, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

He was immediately lifted for a pinch runner but was able to leave the field under his own power, albeit gingerly. Paredes missed three games in mid-June due to a hamstring issue. though it's worth noting that in that instance the injury was to his left hamstring. Imaging should help determine how severe Paredes' injury is this time around, but it wouldn't be surprising if he's held out of the lineup Sunday.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Pulled with apparent leg injury

    Paredes was removed in the third inning of Saturday's game against Seattle due to an apparent leg injury, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

    Paredes smacked a ball to deep left field but pulled up before reaching first base and had to settle for a single. He was immediately checked on by a trainer and subsequently departed from the contest, as Zack Short replaced him as a runner. If Paredes needs to miss time, Short and Mauricio Dubon are candidates to step in at third base.

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Four hits in Saturday's win

    Barger went 4-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

The 25-year-old continues to scorch the ball in a breakout campaign, and through 14 contests in July he's batting .347 (17-for-49) with four doubles, four homers, two steals, 10 runs and 14 RBI.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Placed on injured list

    The Phillies placed Bohm on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a fractured left rib.

    Bohm took a pitch off his ribcage last Saturday, which caused him to miss the final game before the All-Star break. He attempted to play through it Friday, but imaging revealed a fracture after the game, so he'll now spend time on the IL while Otto Kemp fills in as Philadelphia's third baseman. Weston Wilson was recalled from Triple-A to replenish the Phillies' infield depth.
