Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon (hand) and third baseman Ryon Healy (hand) are taking ground balls on Thursday.

Gordon is expected to return before Healy, who could be pushed to a utility […]
Justin Turner Out With Hamstring Tightness
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (hamstring) felt some tightness in his hamstring while scoring on Wednesday night, which is why he's out of the lineup on Thursday.

Christian Arroyo Recalled, Starting Thursday
Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Christian Arroyo has been recalled from Triple-A on Thursday. Arroyo is hitting .214 during his short stint with the Rays this season.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the New York Mets. The veteran infielder gets a breather versus lefty Jason Vargas. Max Muncy will fill in at third base and bat second against Vargas. Muncy won't have much upside in this one, despite batting […]
Travis Shaw To Rejoin Team Next Week
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (wrist) will rejoin the team after the Triple-A series this weekend, according to manager Craig Counsell. Shaw's role will be uncertain, as he was hitting a brutal .163/.266/.281 with four home runs and eight RBI in his 135 at-bats before getting injured.

Rays Recall Christian Arroyo, Send Down Andrew Velazquez
The Tampa Bay Rays recalled third baseman Christian Arroyo from Triple-A on Thursday. Arroyo has taken the next step this season against Triple-A pitching with a .314/.381/.608 slash line over 33 games. His first time up this year didn't breed much confidence, and he's unlikely to play much more than a utility role in Tampa, […]

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter, catcher Yadier Molina (hand) and outfielder Dexter Fowler are all out of the starting lineup on Thursday.

Yandy Diaz Takes More Swings Wednesday
Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz (hand) took swings in the batting cage for the second straight day on Wednesday and said his hand feels better, but he still has some pain when swinging a bat.
