  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Day off Tuesday

    Bohm isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Tuesday's game against San Francisco, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Bohm is batting .311 on the season, but he will get a day to regroup Tuesday after going 6-for-30 (.200) across his last seven contests. Kody Clemens will fill in at the hot corner and bat eighth.

  • DJ LeMahieu 3B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Officially activated

    The Yankees reinstated LeMahieu (foot) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    A fracture of LeMahieu's right foot has kept him on the injured list all season, but he will return to make his season debut Tuesday while starting at third base and batting ninth. The 35-year-old veteran will act as New York's primary third baseman going forward, though he's expected to receive a handful of off days initially as the Yankees attempt to ease him back into action.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | DET

    Tigers' Gio Urshela: Absent from starting nine

    Urshela is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

    The Tigers will reward Matt Vierling's two-homer performance Sunday by giving him another start at the hot corner, pushing Urshela out of the starting lineup against Jared Jones. Urshela is slashing .273/.312/.318 without a home run across 93 plate appearances this season.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Activated from injured list

    The Pirates activated Hayes (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Hayes has been sidelined since early May with a back injury but will skip a rehab assignment and go directly back on the Pirates' active roster. The third baseman is slashing a disappointing .240/.322/.318 with just one home run and zero stolen bases this season.

  • DJ LeMahieu 3B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Slated to bat ninth in return

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in an interview on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that LeMahieu (foot) will start at third base and bat ninth Tuesday versus the Angels in his season debut.

    LeMahieu had appeared in line for leadoff duties with the Yankees before suffering a non-displaced fracture of his right foot shortly before Opening Day. However, Anthony Volpe looks to have a tight grip on the leadoff job now, pushing LeMahieu to the bottom of the batting order for the time being. LeMahieu is slated to be the team's primary third baseman, although he will be given extra off days initially as the Yankees ease him back into action.

  • Mark Vientos 3B | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Absent from lineup

    Vientos is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Dodgers.

    It will be Brett Baty handling third base and being tasked with trying to solve right-hander Tyler Glasnow. Vientos figures to be in the lineup for the nightcap against Gavin Stone.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Bats second in return

    Riley went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Monday's loss to the Nationals.

    Seeing his first game action since May 12, Riley looked a bit rusty but appeared fully recovered from an intercostal strain. The third baseman hit second in the order with lefty Mitchell Parker on the bump for the Nats, and that could be his new home in the batting order against southpaws with Atlanta shuffling things around in the wake of a season-ending knee injury for Ronald Acuna. Through 167 plate appearances this year, Riley is slashing a disappointing .238/.311/.377 with three homers and 18 RBI.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Slugs first homer

    Solano went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Monday's 2-1 win over Miami.

    Solano came into the contest having gone 2-for-13 over his previous seven contests, but he broke the slump with a second-inning solo homer for the game's first run. The long ball was his first as a member of the Padres after joining the organization on a minor-league deal in mid-April. Solano has never been much of a power hitter, but he's consistently demonstrated good contact skills and is slashing .321/.441/.464 in limited opportunities this season.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Back in lineup Monday

    Candelario (neck) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    He was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to neck stiffness and held out Sunday as well, but evidently Candelario is feeling better. The 30-year-old will return to third base and bat third against right-hander Lance Lynn. While the rest of the Reds' offense has sunk in May, Candelario has rebounded with an .835 OPS, five doubles and a couple homers in his last 17 games.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Returns after two-week absence

    Riley (side) will start at third base and bat second in Monday's game against the Nationals.

    Riley wound up missing just over two weeks (and 13 games) of action with a nagging left intercostal strain but is finally ready to rejoin Atlanta's lineup. He will be asked to carry even more of a load following Ronald Acuna's season-ending ACL tear.
