    McMahon is not in the starting lineup for the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

    McMahon will head to the bench New York looks to avoid being swept Sunday. The 31-year-old went 0-for-3 in the matinee, and he'll be replaced at the hot corner by Jose Caballero in the series finale.

  • Raynel Delgado 3B | HOU

    Astros' Raynel Delgado: Back with Houston

    The Astros recalled Delgado from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Delgado will make his way back up to the big-league club after a short stint in Triple-A. In the majors this season, the 26-year-old has slashed .267/.313/.400 with one homer and four RBI in 33 plate appearances. Nate Pearson was designated for assignment to make room for Delgado on the roster.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Good to go Sunday

    Lewis (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting cleanup Sunday against the Cubs.

    Lewis was held out of Saturday's starting nine due to left hamstring soreness but will rejoin the lineup Sunday after missing just one game. Since returning to the Twins in early June after a brief stay at Triple-A St. Paul, the 27-year-old has a .258/.319/.484 slash line with eight doubles, seven homers, three steals, 16 RBI and 19 runs in 33 games.

  • Graham Pauley 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Graham Pauley: Back with Miami

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: May avoid rehab assignment

    Ramirez (hand) may not require a rehab assignment before his activation from the 10-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

    Ramirez, who recently ramped up to facing live pitching, is still on target to meet his initial 5-7 week recovery timeline. If he avoids an assignment, Ramirez could rejoin the Guardians at some point in late July.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Tallies four hits Saturday

    Keith went 4-for-4 with a run and two RBI in a 7-0 victory versus the Angels on Saturday.

    All four of Keith's knocks were singles, and he added a sacrifice fly to round out a big day at the plate. Not only did the four hits represent a season-high mark, but Saturday snapped a 22-contest stretch without a multi-hit performance for Keith. He batted a paltry .169 with a .624 OPS during that span, so fantasy managers in shallow leagues are likely going to want to see a prolonged period of production before plucking Keith off the waiver wire.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Searching for rhythm

    Bohm went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Mets.

    Despite Saturday's productive showing, Bohm has still struggled overall in what's arguably been a career-worst season so far. The multi-hit game was his first since July 4 in Kansas City, and the RBI was his first since July 6. Through 383 trips to the plate to this point, the third baseman is slashing a miserable .216/.277/.351 with 11 home runs, 14 doubles, 48 RBI and 31 runs scored.

  • Zack Gelof 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Progressing to baseball activities

    Gelof will begin baseball activities once the stitches on his right knee are removed Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Gelof landed on the IL right before the All-Star break due to a right knee laceration. He'll resume baseball activities after his stitches are removed, and it's possible that Gelof may not need to embark on a rehab assignment before returning from the 10-day IL. He is slashing .273/.327/.476 with eight steals, 11 home runs and 29 RBI across 247 plate appearances this season.

  • Curtis Mead 3B | WAS

    Nationals' Curtis Mead: Getting breather Saturday

    Mead isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

    Mead will get a chance to catch his breath after beginning the second half by going 4-for-6 with three doubles, three RBI and four runs scored during Friday's 23-4 rout. Jorbit Vivas will pick up a start at third base as a result and bat eighth.

  • Gabriel Arias 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Sitting down in Game 2

    Arias isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

    Arias struck out three times in four at-bats during Cleveland's 7-1 loss in the matinee, and he'll now retreat to the bench while Daniel Schneemann mans the hot corner in Game 2.
