Baltimore Orioles third baseman Maikel Franco (ankle) didn't start on Saturday night against the Angels.

Domingo Leyba should continue to fill the void until he returns. However, with a .098 average this […]

San Francisco Giants' third baseman Evan Longoria (shoulder) could return around the third week of July. He's been sidelined since June 5 with a left shoulder sprain.

Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant put together a nice performance in Saturday's loss versus the Cincinnati Reds. Bryant went 3-for-5 with a solo home run.

Eduardo Escobar Not Starting On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar is not in the lineup on Saturday vs. the San Francisco Giants. Escobar started on Friday and went 2-for-4 with a solo home run but is getting the day off on Saturday. This could just be a day of rest for him but he's been the subject of trade […]

Josh Donaldson Exits Early On Saturday With Tight Hamstring

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson exited Saturday's game against the Royals with a tight right hamstring. Donaldson hit a double in his second at-bat on Saturday and winced as he rounded first base.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar went 2-for-4 with a home run, one RBI and two runs scored in an 11-4 loss to the Giants on Friday night. It was Escobar's 18th home run of the year, and his third over his last 15 games as he is now slashing .280/.333/.560 with 11 RBI and […]

Jose Ramirez Not In The Lineup On Saturday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez (elbow) is not in the lineup on Saturday against Jake Odorizzi and the Houston Astros. Ramirez is dealing with some left elbow soreness, which also caused him to miss Friday's contest. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Ernie Clement will once again handle third base in his […]

Ryan McMahon May Be Perking Up Again

Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon cooled off in June after a strong start to the season, but he went 1-for-3 with a run scored and RBI on Friday against the Cardinals, notching a hit for the fourth straight game. McMahon, who missed a few games in June while dealing with a minor forearm issue, […]
