  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Power surge continues

    Suarez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-6 win over Kansas City.

    Suarez's second-inning blast gave Arizona an early lead and was the first of four Diamondback home runs. He's doing his best to put a season-long slump behind him; Suarez entered the month of July with six home runs and has hit that many over the last 14 games. During that span, he's knocked in 17 runs with a .692 slugging percentage and 1.014 OPS.

  • Mark Vientos 3B | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Pops 13th homer

    Vientos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Yankees.

    Vientos knocked in the first and last runs during the Mets' eighth-inning rally, opening the inning with a solo shot before adding a sacrifice fly. The infielder is batting .294 (20-for-68) with three homers and 10 RBI over 18 contests in July as he continues to hold down a starting role at third base. For the year, he's slashing .290/.345/.545 with 13 homers, 35 RBI, 30 runs scored, 12 doubles and no stolen bases over 220 plate appearances.

  • Reds' Santiago Espinal: Checks into lineup for nightcap

    Espinal will start at second base and bat eighth in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus Atlanta.

    Espinal has now picked up just two starts in the Reds' six games since the All-Star break. He saw an uptick in playing time to close out the second half while Jonathan India managed a knee contusion, but Espinal has shifted back into a utility role now that India has seemingly moved past the injury.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | COL

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Returns to lineup

    McMahon (finger) will start at third base and bat fourth in Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox.

    He jammed a finger in Monday's game and didn't play Tuesday, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in Wednesday's series finale. McMahon has reached base 11 times over his last five contests but will bring a 23-game homerless streak into action Wednesday.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Homers in Tuesday's win

    Arenado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Pirates.

    Arenado showed some veteran savvy, opening the scoring with his fifth-inning solo shot off Pirates wunderkind Paul Skenes. While Arenado is just 3-for-18 over five games since the All-Star break, two of those hits have landed over the fence. The third baseman is up to 10 long balls, 42 RBI, 40 runs scored, 14 doubles and one stolen base while slashing .265/.319/.387 through 95 contests.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | COL

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Remaining out Tuesday

    McMahon (finger) isn't in the Rockies' lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox.

    A jammed finger prevented McMahon from starting Monday's game, and he'll need at least another day to recover before returning to Colorado's starting nine. Aaron Schunk will pick up another start at third base and bat ninth Tuesday.

  • Edwin Rios 3B | CIN

    Reds' Edwin Rios: Sticking around with Reds

    Rios signed a minor-league deal with the Reds on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Rios was designated for assignment Friday and elected free agency. However, after spending the weekend testing the open market, he'll return to the Reds organization on a minor-league pact. The 30-year-old slashed .236/.333/.483 in 204 plate appearances with Triple-A Louisville.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Getting rare day off

    Candelario is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

    Candelario is absent from the starting lineup in what will be his first true day off since April. The 30-year-old is slashing .236/.292/.448 with 16 home runs across 370 plate appearances. Noelvi Marte will play third base and Santiago Espinal will DH.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Hayes is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Cardinals.

    Hayes went hitless in four plate appearances in the series opener Monday and will now begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. The Pirates will go with Jared Triolo at third base.

  • Marlins' Emmanuel Rivera: On bench Tuesday

    Rivera isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

    Rivera will be on the bench for the third time in five games since the All-Star break, with Josh Bell starting at first base and Jake Burger handling the hot corner. Rivera is slashing .214/.303/.253 through 179 plate appearances this season.
