  • Kyle Karros 3B | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Karros: Delivers four hits in win

    Karros went 4-for-6 with a double, two RBI and four runs scored in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Athletics.

    Karros was one of seven Rockies to collect multiple hits, and one of three to pile up at least four knocks. The third baseman has batted .375 (15-for-40) in June, with five of his hits going for extra bases, though he's added just four RBI. Overall, he's hitting .246 with a .703 OPS, three home runs, 19 RBI, 32 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 68 contests. Even as a Colorado hitter, the lack of power makes him a tough sell in fantasy.

  • Andrew Fischer 3B | MIL

    Brewers' Andrew Fischer: Moving up to Double-A

    The Brewers promoted Fischer to Double-A Biloxi following High-A Wisconsin's 7-3 win over Great Lakes on Sunday.

    Fischer will move on to the Southern League after slashing .298/.443/.675 with 20 home runs and four stolen bases across 246 plate appearances in 54 games with Wisconsin. The 22-year-old should settle into an everyday role at third base with Biloxi.

  • Luis Rengifo 3B | MIL

    Brewers' Luis Rengifo: Losing out on playing time

    Rengifo will start at third base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Though he'll be part of the starting nine Sunday while southpaw Cristopher Sanchez toes the rubber for Philadelphia, Rengifo was out of the lineup the previous three games when Milwaukee faced right-handed starters or bulk relievers. Rengifo has gone just 4-for-24 (.167 average) over his last nine games and appears to have faded into a utility role, with the Brewers having prioritized Joey Ortiz and David Hamilton ahead of him on the left side of the infield.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Receiving afternoon off

    Paredes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    Raynel Delgado will make his first career MLB start while covering at third base in place of Paredes, who appears to be receiving a routine day off. Paredes had started 15 straight games, slashing .192/.333/.500 with four home runs, 13 RBI and nine runs during that stretch.

  • Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Patrick Wisdom: Back in bench role

    Wisdom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    After making five consecutive starts and going 2-for-18 with two walks and a run, Wisdom has been relegated to the bench for the Mariners' subsequent four contests. Miles Mastrobuoni has been the main option at third base since coming off the 60-day injured list Wednesday, but he'll shift into a utility role once J.P. Crawford (hand) makes his return from the 10-day IL on Tuesday. When Crawford gets activated, Wisdom could be at risk of being pushed off the roster.

  • Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: Drawing fifth straight start

    Mastrobuoni will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Mastrobuoni has gotten five straight starts (four at third base, one at second) while going 3-for-13 with a walk, a stolen base, two runs and an RBI. His run of regular playing time will likely come to an end Tuesday, however, with J.P. Crawford (hand) set to return from the 10-day IL and bump Mastrobuoni into a utility role.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Slipping into timeshare

    Mayo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Mayo will be on the bench for the third time in five games, with the Orioles having faced right-handed pitchers in each of those contests. He appears to have faded into a timeshare at the position with Blaze Alexander, who will receive the starting nod Sunday. Since the beginning of June, Mayo has slugged three home runs, but he's hitting just .184 and has struck out a 43.6 percent clip.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Lands on IL with hamate fracture

    The Guardians placed Ramirez (hand) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    The move was a foregone conclusion after the seven-time All-Star was diagnosed with a left hamate bone fracture following Saturday's game. Cleveland reinstated Gabriel Arias (wrist) from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move, and he and Daniel Schneemann are likely to be the primary options at third base while Ramirez is sidelined. The Guardians haven't provided an official target date for Ramirez's return, but recovery timelines for hamate bone fractures typically range from four to eight weeks.

  • Javier Sanoja 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Receiving breather Sunday

    Sanoja is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Sanoja will get a breather after he started the last four games -- three at third base, one at shortstop -- and went 2-for-14 with one double, one walk and three runs. Otto Lopez will be back at shortstop after serving as the Marlins' designated hitter Saturday, while Connor Norby receives the nod at the hot corner.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Pops 12th long ball

    Machado went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 9-3 win against Baltimore on Saturday.

    San Diego belted five homers as a team, and Machado capped the long-ball fest with a 429-foot shot to center field in the ninth inning. The star third baseman is still trying to climb out of an early hole and remains saddled with a poor .178/.255/.364 slash line on the campaign. However, Machado does lead San Diego with 12 home runs and 35 RBI, and he's showing signs of busting out of the season-long slump. Over his past four contests, he's gone 6-for-18 with five extra-base hits (four doubles and a homer) along with three RBI.
