Smith (glute) isn't in the Rangers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays.

Smith missed four games in June due to glute tightness, and he'll be missing his second consecutive game Saturday due to the same injury. Jonathan Ornelas will pick up another start at third base and bat ninth while Smith continues to recover.

Morel isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against the Angels.

Morel has put together a three-game hitting streak, though he has also struck out six times in 12 at-bats over that span. He'll take a day to rest Saturday while David Bote fills in at third base, batting eighth.

Sano isn't in the Angels' lineup for Saturday's game versus the Cubs.

Sano has been held hitless in 13 at-bats over his last four games, so he'll get a day off to regroup against Kyle Hendricks and the Cubs. His absence will allow Luis Guillorme to pick up a start at the hot corner while batting eighth.

Riley went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's loss to the Phillies.

Aaron Nola let a sinker catch too much of the plate in the fourth inning, and Riley drove it over the wall in center field for Atlanta's first runs of the night. The third baseman has an extra-base hit and at least one RBI in four straight games, and over his last 20 contests he's slashing .362/.438/.797 with six doubles, eight homers, 17 runs and 17 RBI.

Candelario went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 loss to Detroit.

The steal was the fourth of the season for Candelario, who swiped a career-high eight bags in 2023. The corner infielder/designated hitter, who reversed a season-opening slump in June, is back on the skids. Candelario is 3-for-28 with a 30 percent strikeout rate over the last seven games.

Suarez started at third base and went 1-for-3 in Friday's 10-8 loss to the Padres.

Suarez, whose job was in jeopardy three weeks ago, has resumed his role as the team's everyday third baseman since the Diamondbacks sent Blaze Alexander back to Triple-A Reno. Suarez has started seven consecutive games and is 7-for-22 (.318) over that time, raising his season average above .200.

Bregman went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and two walks in Friday's win at Minnesota.

The veteran third baseman cracked a 404-foot, three-run blast off Kody Funderburk in the ninth inning for his first long ball since June 3. This marks the seventh season Bregman has reached double-digit homers in his nine-year career. Despite the recent power outage, the Houston third baseman has still been hitting well over his last 25 games, batting .295 (31-for-105) with 18 runs scored and 11 RBI.

Miranda went 4-for-4 with a homer, a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 13-12 loss to the Astros.

Miranda came a triple shy of the cycle and set a Twins franchise record in the seventh inning by tallying his 10th consecutive plate appearance with a hit. The 26-year-old launched a 414-foot solo shot off Shawn Dubin earlier in the game for his ninth homer of the season. Miranda now sports a nine-game hit streak over which he's batted an absurd .559 (19-for-34) with seven extra base hits, 12 RBI and 11 runs scored.

The Padres optioned Rosario to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

With Luis Campusano (thumb) returning from the injured list, Rosario will end up as the odd man out on San Diego's active roster. The 24-year-old has slashed .245/.286/.528 in 57 plate appearances with the Padres this season, and his OPS is 1.022 at Triple-A. Should the Padres run into any problems with infield depth in the future, Rosario would be a likely candidate to rejoin the big-league squad.

Moncada (adductor) will begin a rehab assignment with the White Sox's Arizona Complex League affiliate Tuesday and could rejoin the MLB club by the end of July, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Moncada will exclusively DH to start out his minor-league rehab stint, which will serve as his first in-game action since he suffered an adductor strain in early April. The veteran third baseman still has multiple checkpoints to clear before being reinstated, but he could be back before the calendar flips to August.
