Muncy (knee) started swinging a bat Friday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Muncy took swings Friday for the first time since being placed on the injured list July 3. Muncy said of his recovery, "we're right where we think we should be" and shared that "everything feels great." The third baseman appears to be on track for a mid-August return, which is right in line with the initial six-week projected absence.

Riley (abdomen) participated in batting practice Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Riley landed on the injured list shortly before the All-Star break with a right abdominal strain. After using the All-Star break to rehab back home, the 28-year-old said he is feeling much better now and is optimistic about his chances to return sometime next week, per David O'Brien of The Athletic. Until then, Nacho Alvarez should continue to work as Atlanta's primary third baseman.

Bohm is playing third base and batting fourth in Friday's game against the Angels, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Bohm didn't play in the Phillies' last game before the All-Star break due to a bruised left rib. After having the week to rest, Bohm is back in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Halos. He's slashing .281/.327/.395 in 379 plate appearances this season.

Moncada isn't part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

Moncada started six straight games after being activated from the 10-day injured list July 8. However, the third baseman is out of the lineup for the Angels' first game coming out of the All-Star break. Kevin Newman will bat ninth and play third base in Moncada's place.

Karros was promoted from Double-A Hartford to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

The 22-year-old was named MVP of the Northwest League in 2024 after posting an .875 OPS with 15 homers and 12 steals in 123 games for Hartford, and he'll now make his way to the highest level of the minors. One of Colorado's top prospects, Karros has an .861 OPS at Double-A this year and has an outside shot of making his MLB debut before the end of 2025, assuming he continues to hit well at Triple-A.

Suarez (hand) is expected to be in Friday's lineup against the Cardinals, Alex Weiner of AZ Sports reports.

Suarez was hit in the hand by a pitch during the All-Star Game but avoided serious injury. Manager Torey Lovullo spoke with relative certainty that Suarez would be in the lineup Friday, but it will still be worth confirming before first pitch at 9:40 p.m. ET.

Norby will be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks after undergoing surgery on a broken left hamate bone Wednesday, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.

Norby landed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with what was referred to as left wrist inflammation at the time, but a visit with a specialist revealed the need for surgery. He will be shelved until at least late August, and players often struggle to regain their power stroke initially upon returning from a hamate operation. Graham Pauley should be the Marlins' primary third baseman while Norby is sidelined.

X-rays on Suarez's left hand came back negative after he was hit by a pitch during the All-Star Game, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

After taking a 96-mph fastball off his hand in the eighth inning, Suarez remained in the game for the remainder of regulation, but he wasn't able to participate as planned in the extra-inning swing-off. It doesn't seem like he suffered any structural damage due to the incident, however, and he'll now have a couple of days off to recover before the second half kicks off Friday. The 33-year-old third baseman slashed .250/.320/.569 with 31 homers before the break and is a candidate to be traded over the next couple of weeks before the deadline.

Mauricio has been putting in work in the batting cage with Juan Soto to try and improve his plate discipline, Will Sammon of the Athletic reports.

Chasing balls out of the zone is the biggest weakness for Mauricio, and he couldn't ask for a better tutor in the art of staying patient than Soto, who boasts a career .418 OBP in the majors. "He has been progressing really well," Soto said Sunday. "He's a really smart kid. He's been doing a really good job in the cage. He's trying to stop chasing a little bit, and he's doing it the past couple weeks with good takes, better decisions and swinging the bat well. He is on the right path." The numbers back up the superstar's assessment -- after a 2-for-4 showing in Sunday's loss to the Royals, Mauricio is slashing .302/.388/.512 over his last 14 games with three doubles, two homers, and a palatable 22.4 percent strikeout rate against a 12.2 percent walk rate. If the 24-year-old switch hitter continues to work the count and get better pitches to hit, he could be in line for a big second half, and potentially alleviate the need for the Mets to pursue an upgrade at third base before the trade deadline.

Norby (wrist) will see a specialist in Arizona over the All-Star break, Mike Cugno of CBS Miami reports.

The third baseman hasn't played since Friday due to what the Marlins have described as left wrist inflammation and was placed on the 10-day IL on Sunday, but it seems as though there's at least some concern the issue could be more serious. A timeline for Norby's return figures to come into focus once the joint has been examined.
