Barger went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to the A's.

The 25-year-old wrapped up a breakout first half in style, taking Jeffrey Springs deep in the seventh inning. Barger heads into the All-Star break with a .261/.317/.506 slash line over 265 plate appearances with 13 homers, three steals, 38 runs and 40 RBI, and he remains among the league leaders in hard-hit rate (54.2 percent, 15th in MLB), max exit velocity (116.5 mph, 12th) and average exit velocity (93.4 mph, tied for 10th with Bobby Witt.)

Paredes went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Rangers.

Since Jeremy Pena (rib) landed on the injured list in late June, Paredes has stepped in as Houston's leadoff man. He's served as the Astros' table setter for each of the last 14 games, batting .293 with three home runs, nine runs and four RBI during that stretch. Paredes was recently named to his second straight All-Star team, but the Astros announced Sunday that the 26-year-old won't participate in the Midsummer Classic while he tends to a family matter, per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle. Manager Joe Espada said he expects Paredes to rejoin the team in advance of its first game of the second half Friday in Seattle.

Andujar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

After being activated from the injured list Wednesday, Andujar has proceeded to start at third base in three of the Athletics' ensuing five games, going 2-for-12 with a walk. Though Gio Urshela will fill in for him at the hot corner Sunday, Andujar should serve as the Athletics' primary option at the position heading into the second half.

Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Lee had picked up starts in each of the last three contests, but he'll take a seat for the series finale with the Pirates. Carlos Correa (ankle) will return from a one-game absence to start at shortstop, while super-utility man Willi Castro will step in at second base as Harrison Bader enters the starting nine in left field.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with one RBI, one run scored and three stolen bases in Saturday's 6-2 win over the White Sox.

Ramirez swiped three bases for the second time this season, with the other such performance coming May 12. While he recorded just one hit in the game, the star third baseman has been locked in at the plate lately, slashing .303/.439/.788 with five homers and 10 RBI over his past nine games after a cold stretch to close June and start July. On the season, he's slashing .297/.367/.510 with 18 home runs, 17 doubles, 29 steals and 48 RBI across 91 games.

Barger isn't in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Athletics.

Barger will begin the contest on the bench with the A's sending a lefty starter (Jacob Lopez) to the mound. Barger started each of Toronto's previous four games, going 3-for-17 with a home run and three RBI during that stretch. The 25-year-old has been playing a mix of right field and third base; George Springer and Ernie Clement are starting at those positions, respectively, Saturday.

McKinstry went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's 15-7 loss to the Mariners.

A day after swiping two bases, McKinstry made his mark with his eighth home run of the season. It's one away from matching his career high, as the utility player hasn't generally been known for his power. McKinstry is also now sitting with an .842 OPS, which would easily be a new high-water mark and is well above his career .684 figure. McKinstry has been a sneaky fantasy performer in 2025 who can fill in at multiple positions across the field.

Vargas isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cleveland.

Vargas will catch his breath Saturday after playing both games of Friday's twin bill, during which he went 1-for-7 with an RBI and a walk. Lenyn Sosa will take over at first base while Vargas sits, opening up second base for Chase Meidroth.

Bregman went 1-for-4 in Friday's 5-4 win over Tampa Bay.

Bregman was activated from the injured list Friday after missing 43 games due to a quadriceps injury. He had batted third prior to the injury but was moved to second in the order Friday. Bregman returned to a team that traded Rafael Devers, promoted top prospect Roman Anthony and welcomed back veteran Masataka Yoshida off the injured list, so the spots in the upper third of the batting order could fluctuate.

Mayer went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rays.

Mayer had a run-scoring double for the second straight game, both of which helped the Red Sox come back after the Rays had taken a lead. He's set to become the primary second baseman after the team activated third baseman Alex Bregman from the injured list Friday. Mayer, who is batting .225 through 38 games, has hit safely in three straight games, going 4-for-11 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored.
