  • Oswald Peraza 3B | LAA

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Idle Thursday

    Peraza isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.

    Peraza will give way to Jorbit Vivas at the hot corner Thursday after going 1-for-8 with an RBI, a run and two strikeouts over the first two games of the series.

  • Cam Collier 3B | CIN

    Reds' Cam Collier: Hitting for average at Double-A

    Collier is hitting .303 with zero home runs in 20 games for Double-A Chattanooga.

    Collier missed the first six weeks of the minor-league season while recovering from left thumb surgery. He slashed .338/.443/.514 with two home runs, a 15.9 percent walk rate and a 20.5 percent strikeout rate across 21 games while rehabbing and easing into things in the lower levels before getting promoted to Double-A on June 17. Collier has controlled the zone at Double-A (0.83 BB/K), but his power has been lacking since returning from the thumb issue. He is one of the youngest hitters at Double-A and won't turn 21 until November.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Slugs 14th homer

    Riley went 2-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's win over the A's.

    The third baseman took Mitch Spence deep in the second inning, staking Atlanta to an early 6-0 lead. Riley appears to be kicking off his usual summer surge -- he has a career .955 OPS in July, the highest in any month for his career, and his .867 mark in August is second -- and over his last 10 games he's batting .333 (14-for-42) with four homers and two homers. On the season, he's up to 14 home runs and 47 RBI in 91 games with a .274/.324/.441 slash line.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Belts 22nd homer

    Caminero went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Tigers.

    Just named to his first All-Star Game, Caminero wrapped up the scoring on the night by clobbering a Chase Lee sweeper to lead off the seventh inning. The 22-year-old third baseman is up to 22 homers on the season, including five in his last 16 games, but he's otherwise in a bit of a rut and is slashing .224/.239/.493 over that stretch with a 2:18 BB:K.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Homers in three straight

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Houston.

    Ramirez hit the second of back-to-back home runs in the first inning. It was the third consecutive game that he's gone deep. He later was part of a double steal in the seventh that put him in position to score the Guardians' third run. Ramirez is up to 17 home runs and 25 steals through 88 games.

  • CJ Alexander 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' CJ Alexander: Remains in organization

    The Dodgers outrighted Alexander to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

    Alexander cleared waivers after being removed from the Dodgers' 40-man roster but will remain in the organization as a depth corner infielder and outfielder. He's a career .259/.328/.482 hitter at the Triple-A level.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Goes deep in win

    Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Padres.

    Suarez padded the Diamondbacks' early lead with a solo shot in the fourth inning, his 29th through 91 games. That puts him on the verge of a second straight 30-homer season in the desert. Suarez was recently added to the NL All-Star squad as a reserve and deservedly so. He's tied for fourth in MLB in home runs and RBI (77).

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Goes yard against MIA

    Marte went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 7-2 win over Miami.

    Marte had been working through a rough patch at the plate, entering Wednesday's contest with just two hits in his last 23 at-bats. He broke the drought with a pair of hits, including a two-run homer off Sandy Alcantara in the fourth inning. On the year, Marte is slashing .277/.330/.494 with four home runs.

  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Swats sixth homer

    Norby went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Reds.

    Norby tagged Emilio Pagan for a solo homer with two outs in the ninth inning, marking the third baseman's second round tripper in four games. He's gone 6-for-28 (.214) with four runs scored and three RBI in July. On the year, Norby is slashing .240/.289/.366 with 26 RBI and 33 runs scored.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Nationals' Amed Rosario: Goes yard in victory

    Rosario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-2 win over St. Louis.

    With his fifth homer of the season, Rosario was able to post at least one hit for the sixth time in his last eight games. The veteran utility man got a chance to face right-hander Andre Pallante on Wednesday, but the former should continue to see the bulk of his playing time versus left-handed pitching. Rosario is batting .305 with three long balls, seven doubles and 10 RBI over 82 at-bats against southpaws while batting just .228 versus righties this year.
