  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Pops homer in win

    Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

    Suarez put a good finish on a productive June, a month in which he hit .315 (29-for-92) with 11 homers and 27 RBI. The third baseman is up to 26 long balls on the year after that power surge. He's added a .257/.324/.570 slash line with 69 RBI, 49 runs scored, 16 doubles and one stolen base over 82 contests.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Plates two runs in victory

    Hayes went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 7-0 win against the Cardinals.

    The 28-year-old stretched Pittsburgh's lead to 6-0 when he ripped a two-RBI single off St. Louis starter Erick Fedde in the fifth inning. The hit caps a solid June during which Hayes hit .301 (25-for-83) with a homer, three steals, 12 runs scored and 11 RBI in 23 games. Through 311 total plate appearances, the third baseman is slashing .246/.297/.304 with two homers, nine steals, 27 runs scored and 29 RBI.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Continues to hit for high average

    Bohm went 1-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 4-0 victory over the Padres.

    Bohm wraps up a productive month of June on a modest four-game hitting streak. Through his last 27 outings, the corner infielder is batting .301 with two home runs, four doubles, 16 RBI and one stolen base covering 103 at-bats. Bohm has been swinging a hot bat since the beginning of May as well, slashing .312/.359/.454 with seven homers, eight doubles and 29 RBI over his last 54 contests (223 plate appearances).

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Could return for homestand

    Chapman (hand) may be able to return to action ahead of the Giants' six-game homestand beginning July 7 versus the Phillies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Chapman took batting practice Monday, after which manager Bob Melvin said it's possible that the third baseman could be available for the entirety of San Francisco's upcoming homestand. Chapman has been out since June 8 due to a right hand sprain, and he seems to be on track to return prior to the All-Star break.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Placed on 10-day IL

    Schmitt (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, retroactive to June 27, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Schmitt will officially head to the IL after missing the team's last four games with a bone bruise in his left wrist. The 26-year-old will now be sidelined for at least one more week before he'd be eligible to return to action July 7. In the meantime, Tyler Fitzgerald was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday to replace Schmitt on the major-league roster.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Trip to injured list expected

    Schmitt is expected to require a stint on the 10-day injured list due to a bone bruise in his left wrist, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    An MRI on Schmitt's wrist came back negative, but he's still dealing with a painful bone bruise and could use additional down time. Tyler Fitzgerald has a locker at Chase Field and it sounds like he could be added to the roster in Schmitt's place prior to Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Good to go Monday

    Arenado (finger) will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Pirates.

    After jamming his right index finger early in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Guardians, Arenado initially stayed in the game before he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning. The Cardinals described Arenado's early exit as precautionary, and his inclusion in the lineup a day later seemingly supports that notion. While the veteran third baseman is on pace for a second straight season with a sub-.400 slugging percentage, he's at least gotten his batting average back on track in June, hitting .283 through his first 26 games of the month.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Eyeing mid-July return

    Chapman (hand) is hoping to be activated from the 10-day injured list for the July 11-to-13 series against the Dodgers, MLB.com reports.

    Chapman has progressed to hitting off a tee and throwing as he recovers from a right hand sprain. He's already missed three weeks of action, and while his rehab is coming along, Chapman has a few more items on his checklist before he can be activated. With Casey Schmitt (wrist) also banged up, the Giants have been using Christian Koss at third base of late.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Doubles twice, scores three runs

    Hayes went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Mets.

    Hayes got things going early with a two-run single and a run scored in the first inning. He later doubled and scored in the fifth and seventh frames. He's on an eight-game hitting streak and collected multiple hits in each contest during the Pirates' three-game sweep of the Mets. Hayes has gone 13-for-29 (.448) during his hitting streak, raising his season slash line to .246/.297/.305 through 307 plate appearances.

  • Paul DeJong 3B | WAS

    Nationals' Paul DeJong: Return to majors imminent

    DeJong (orbital) will return to Washington and could be activated off the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Tigers, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    DeJong landed on the IL in mid-April after he fractured his nose and orbital bone when he was hit in the face by a pitch from the Pirates' Mitch Keller. After undergoing surgery to address the injury, DeJong was cleared for a rehab assignment in mid-June, and in 12 games with Double-A Harrisburg, he has slashed .275/.348/.375 with one steal and one home run. The 31-year-old had been serving as the Nationals' primary third baseman prior to getting hurt, but he may have to settle for a utility role upon his return if Washington remains committed to letting rookie Brady House play regularly.
