Baty went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Yankees.

The 25-year-old infielder cracked his ninth home run of the season and his first since June 14. With Mark Vientos continuing to struggle -- he owns a .636 OPS in 2025 -- the door remains open for Baty to settle into a strong-side platoon role at third base going forward. Even so, Baty hasn't performed much better at the plate this year, as he's slashing just .224/.275/.410 with seven doubles, two triples and 29 RBI over 223 plate appearances.

Machado went 2-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run during Friday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

Machado broke an eight-game homer drought in a big way, launching a 440-foot home run out to center field for the Padres' first run of the game. The 32-year-old is slashing .292/.357/.482, on pace to be his best numbers since his age-29 season in 2022, when he had an .897 OPS. Machado has also been excellent as a run producer this year, driving in 51 runs on the season, with 26 of them coming since the start of June.

Manager Bob Melvin said Friday that he expects Chapman (hand) to return from the injured list Saturday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

A sprained right hand sent Chapman to the injured list in early June. He's due to play in a rehab game at Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, and if all goes well, he'll return to a Giants lineup Saturday that has been running low on infield options lately.

Schmitt (hand) resumed swinging a bat Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Schmitt said he didn't have any issues swinging, and he felt good enough to begin taking batting practice as well. The 26-year-old infielder landed on the injured list Monday due to inflammation in his left hand, though he seems to be progressing quickly enough to have a chance to return when eligible next Monday.

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's win over the Brewers.

In his third game since returning from a fractured orbital bone suffered April 15, DeJong got hold of a Dietrich Enns fastball and drove it over the fence in right-center field. It was DeJong's first homer of 2025, and while the veteran infielder has lost his starting spot at third base to rookie Brady House, he could still get significant playing time in a utility role.

Arenado (finger) is starting at third base and batting sixth Friday against the Cubs.

The third baseman has been sidelined all week due to a sprained right index finger, but he'll rejoin the starting nine for Friday's series opener in Chicago. Arenado batted .275 (28-for-102) with three doubles, four homers, 14 RBI and 14 runs over 27 contests in June.

The Reds reinstated Marte (oblique) from the 10-day injured list, and he's starting at third base and batting seventh Friday against the Phillies.

Marte has been sidelined by an oblique strain since early May but is back on the active roster after going 10-for-30 with two homers and a triple during a nine-game rehab assignment. The 23-year-old has seen action in just 19 big-league games so far this season but has been productive when available with three homers, 17 RBI and an .857 OPS in 73 plate appearances.

Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Giants.

Suarez broke up Robbie Ray's perfect game bid by leading off the fifth inning with a solo shot. During this four-game series, Suarez went just 2-for-16 (.125), but both of his hits against the Giants left the yard. The third baseman also struck out 10 times in the series and has logged multiple strikeouts in six of his last nine games. On the year, he's batting .250 with an .879 OPS, 27 homers, 70 RBI, 52 runs scored, one stolen base 16 doubles over 85 games.

Chapman (hand) is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Chapman took batting practice off a high-velocity machine prior to Thursday's game and felt no pain in his hand. If all goes according to plan, he hopes to return during the Giants' weekend series against the A's, though it's possible he requires a few rehab games in the minors and instead is activated early next week.

Alcantara had his contract selected by the Giants on Thursday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Alcantara inked a minor-league deal with the Giants during the offseason and has struggled to a .206/.319/.252 line across 256 plate appearances with Triple-A Sacramento. Despite the underwhelming line, he'll get his first chance in the majors since the 2022 season.
