Machado went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Machado has three homers over his last seven games. The third baseman is batting a decent .278 (10-for-36) over nine contests in July, a little bit down from his .291 average for the season. He's added strong all-around production with an .838 OPS, 16 homers, 54 RBI, 55 runs scored, eight stolen bases and 22 doubles through 93 games.

House isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Despite recording a base hit in each of his last four games and seven of his last eight, House will stay put in the dugout Thursday while Paul DeJong starts at the hot corner and bats sixth.

Mauricio is absent from the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader in Baltimore.

Mauricio went hitless in four plate appearances in the first game of the double dip and will now receive some rest in the second contest. Brett Baty is at third base and Luisangel Acuna is at second base for the Mets in Game 2.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
