Angels' Ben Joyce: Starting rehab assignment Tuesday
36m agoJoyce (shoulder) is set to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with the Angels' Arizona Complex league squad Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Joyce has missed the entirety of the 2026 campaign while recovering from May 2025 shoulder surgery and a subsequent May 2026 setback. His rehab assignment will likely be a prolonged one, spanning outings at various levels in the Angels' minor-league system.

Shohei Ohtani LAD DH
Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Set to make last start before break
1h agoOhtani is expected to make his regularly scheduled start Friday against Arizona, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Ohtani was dealing with a right bicep injury last week, but the 32-year-old appears to have moved past the issue, erasing any concern about his chances to pitch in his next turn in the rotation. Manager Dave Roberts feels strongly about Ohtani's chances to go Friday, stating that "as we sit here, I don't see that changing." The right-handed pitcher has posted a slightly inflated 4.38 ERA and 1.34 WHIP with 28 strikeouts over 24.2 innings in his last four starts.

-
Jorge Polanco NYM 1B
Mets' Jorge Polanco: Comes off injured list
4h agoThe Mets reinstated Polanco (Achilles/ankle/wrist) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
The 33-year-old is ready to rejoin the Mets after an absence of nearly three months due to Achilles, ankle and wrist injuries. The switch-hitting Polanco is expected to work exclusively as a designated hitter early on after the lengthy IL stint. He played in just 14 games prior to landing on the shelf and batted .179 (10-for-56) with one home run and three doubles.
-
Spencer Horwitz PIT 1B
Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Begins running progression
4h agoHorwitz (hamstring) has begun a running program at the Pirates' spring training complex in Florida, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Horwitz strained his left hamstring two weeks ago but has been cleared to kick off his running progression. If the first baseman is able to advance his rehab without any hiccups, he could begin a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break and return before the end of July.
-
Matt Olson ATL 1B
Braves' Matt Olson: Launches two homers in loss
18h agoOlson went 2-for-5 with two homers, three total RBI and a walk in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Mets.
Olson left the yard twice, demolishing a solo homer to right field off Freddy Peralta in the third inning before coming through with a game-tying, two-run shot to left field off Devin Williams in the ninth inning to force an extra frame. This was a series to remember for Olson, who homered twice in both Friday's win and Monday's loss to bookend the four-game set against the rival Mets. It has been another stellar season for the veteran first baseman, who is slashing .273/.344/.546 with 24 homers, 23 doubles, 57 RBI and 61 runs across 89 contests.
-
Ben Rice NYY 1B
Yankees' Ben Rice: Belts solo homer Monday vs. Rays
23h agoRice went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Yankees' 5-1 win over the Rays on Monday.
The Yankees were limited to just three hits, but those came on two home runs from Jose Caballero and another deep ball from Rice, with the latter's blast coming in the eighth inning to give the Bronx Bombers an insurance run. Rice is up to 25 home runs and a .925 OPS, which rank fifth and eighth, respectively, in the majors this season.
-
Pavin Smith ARI 1B
Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Absent from lineup
1d agoSmith is not in the lineup for Monday's game in San Diego.
It's right-hander Walker Buehler on the mound for the Padres, but the left-handed-hitting Smith will nonetheless begin the contest on the bench. Smith -- who is slashing an ugly .157/.259/.214 in 25 games this season -- will yield first base to Ildemaro Vargas.
-
Mark Vientos NYM 1B
Mets' Mark Vientos: Left out of lineup versus righty
1d agoVientos is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.
Vientos was included in the lineup both of the previous two days when Atlanta sent left-handed starters to the bump, but he'll be on the bench for a fourth consecutive matchup with a right-handed starting pitcher (Reynaldo Lopez). Rather than moving Vientos out of his short-side platoon role and giving him a look as their primary designated hitter, Mets interim Andy Green has opted to rotate a number of players at that spot in the lineup.
-
Edwin Arroyo CIN 2B
Reds' Edwin Arroyo: On bench Tuesday
5h agoArroyo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.
Arroyo has gone 2-for-16 across his past five contests and will sit Tuesday for the second time in Cincinnati's past three games. Matt McLain is picking up another start at second base in the series opener versus Philadelphia.
-
Nasim Nunez WAS 2B
Nationals' Nasim Nunez: Flashes wheels in three-hit game
7h agoNunez went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Astros.
All three singles were groundballs and two of them never left the infield, as Nunez used his speed to put together a strong line in the box score. The 25-year-old infielder leads the majors with 33 steals on the season, and since the beginning of June he's delivered a .349/.417/.453 slash line over 29 games with one homer, 12 RBI and 15 runs. That surge has boosted his batting average on the season over 50 points, from .189 to a far more respectable .243.
-
Ozzie Albies ATL 2B
Braves' Ozzie Albies: Bangs out two doubles Monday
8h agoAlbies went 2-for-6 with two doubles and a run scored in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Mets.
The 29-year-old has already been voted into the NL starting lineup for the All-Star Game, but Albies isn't resting on his laurels. He's hit safely in five of six games to begin July, batting .259 (7-for-27) with a .667 SLG thanks to five doubles and two homers, to go along with three RBI and seven runs scored.
-
Jose Altuve HOU 2B
Astros' Jose Altuve: Homers Monday
12h agoAltuve went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Monday's 12-11 loss to the Nationals.
Altuve put the Astros ahead 4-1in the second inning with a three-run, two-out blast off Miles Mikolas. It's Altuve's ninth long ball this season and his first since June 19. The veteran second baseman has gone 4-for-11 with three extra-base hits in his last three games following a 4-for-31 (.129) slump across his prior eight contests. Overall, Altuve is slashing .235/.312/.394 with 42 runs scored, 25 RBI and two stolen bases across 296 plate appearances this year.
-
Richard Palacios TB 2B
Rays' Richie Palacios: Drives in Rays' lone run Monday
23h agoPalacios went 2-for-3 with an RBI single in the Rays' 5-1 loss to the Yankees on Monday.
It was a dominant effort on the mound from Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler on Monday, but Palacios put Tampa Bay on the board with a single in the fifth inning that brought Chandler Simpson home. Palacios has driven in at least one run in three of his last four games, going 5-for-12 with one steal, one home run, four RBI and two runs scored in that span.
-
Edouard Julien COL 2B
Rockies' Edouard Julien: Heading to bench versus lefty
1d agoJulien is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.
Though he'll head to the bench for the second time in three games while the Rockies face off against another lefty starter (Eric Lauer), the left-handed-hitting Julien appears to have earned himself a regular spot in the lineup versus righties. Over his last six games, Julien has reached base at a .481 clip while recording five hits, eight walks and nine runs and two RBI.
-
Josh Jung TEX 3B
Rangers' Josh Jung: Held out of Tuesday's lineup
4h agoJung (knee) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.
The third baseman didn't start Sunday versus the Tigers due to a sore knee after fouling a pitch off himself Saturday, and he'll remain on the bench after Monday's team off day. Ezequiel Duran will shift to the hot corner in place of Jung while Josh Smith and Nicky Lopez start at second base and shortstop, respectively.
-
David Hamilton MIL 3B
Brewers' David Hamilton: Lands on injured list
7h agoThe Brewers placed Hamilton on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a strained left hamstring.
The 28-year-old departed Monday's victory in St. Louis due to hamstring tightness and will require a trip to the IL after being diagnosed with a strain. It's unclear how long Hamilton is expected to be sidelined, but he'll be eligible to be reinstated immediately out of the All-Star break late next week. Greg Jones was added to the big-league roster in a corresponding move, but the more consequential promotion occurred earlier in the day when the Brewers called up top outfield prospect Luis Lara.
-
Blaze Jordan STL 3B
Cardinals' Blaze Jordan: Breather in first game
9h agoJordan is absent from the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.
Jordan will likely be back in the lineup for the second game of the twin bill, but he'll begin the first contest on the bench. Jose Fermin is covering third base for the Cardinals in the matinee.
-
Kazuma Okamoto TOR 3B
Blue Jays' Kazuma Okamoto: Reaches 20 homers
17h agoOkamoto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in a loss to the Giants.
Okamoto accounted for Toronto's only run with a solo homer in the sixth inning. It was his 20th long ball of the season, making him one of 19 major-leaguers to reach that mark so far in 2026. Okamoto also became the third Japanese-born player to notch 20-plus homers in his rookie MLB campaign, joining Shohei Ohtani (2018) and Munetaka Murakami (this season).
-
Curtis Mead WAS 3B
Nationals' Curtis Mead: Goes deep in three-hit effort
19h agoMead went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, a double, three total RBI and two total runs scored in Monday's 12-11 win over Houston.
Mead was a constant contributor in Washington's offensive outburst, with each of his three hits driving in a run, highlighted by a solo homer in the fifth inning. The third baseman had gone 9-for-31 (.290) over his previous eight games entering Monday but hadn't driven in a run since June 25. The 25-year-old has seized regular playing time this season and is making the most of it, slashing .240/.333/.483 with 15 homers, 42 RBI, 40 runs and five stolen bases across 75 contests.
-
David Hamilton MIL 3B
Brewers' David Hamilton: Could land on IL
21h agoHamilton (hamstring) may require a trip to the injured list, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The team will likely hold off on making anything official until re-evaluating Hamilton on Tuesday morning. However, manager Pat Murphy stated after Monday's win that the club may need to make a roster move as a result of the 28-year-old's injury, especially with a doubleheader looming Tuesday.
-
Kaelen Culpepper MIN SS
Twins' Kaelen Culpepper: Back on Triple-A IL
3h agoTriple-A St. Paul placed Culpepper (hand) on the 7-day injured list Tuesday with a glute injury, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.
The 23-year-old hasn't seen the field for St. Paul since last week after being hit by a pitch on the hand, but his move to the injured list is actually due to an aggravation of the glute injury he initially sustained in mid-June. It's unclear how long Culpepper is expected to be sidelined this time around, but it's likely to be longer than the 7-day minimum given that it's a recurrence of a prior injury.
-
Ronny Mauricio NYM SS
Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Headed to Triple-A
3h agoThe Mets optioned Mauricio to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old added to the active roster by New York in late June and will now head back to Syracuse since Jorge Polanco (Achilles/ankle/wrist) was reinstated from the IL. Mauricio has struggled at the plate in 17 big-league games this year, going 9-for-50 (.180) with no walks and a 36 percent strikeout rate.
-
Jack Brannigan PIT SS
Pirates' Jack Brannigan: Summoned from minors
4h agoThe Pirates recalled Brannigan from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Brannigan was called up for one day earlier this season but did not appear in a game. The 25-year-old is taking the roster spot of the injured Konnor Griffin (finger) and could see some starts at shortstop while Griffin is out, but the majority of those reps are likely to go to Jared Triolo.
-
Konnor Griffin PIT SS
Pirates' Konnor Griffin: Out 8-to-10 weeks with finger issue
5h agoThe Pirates placed Griffin (finger) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a torn tendon in his left ring finger, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Per director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk, Griffin will wear a splint for six weeks and is expected to be sidelined for 8-to-10 weeks. That puts the rookie on the shelf until early September, at minimum, which is a massive blow to the Pirates and Griffin's fantasy managers. Jared Triolo will likely handle the bulk of the playing time at shortstop for the Pirates while Griffin is out.
-
Jacob Wilson ATH SS
Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Activated from injured list
6h agoThe Athletics reinstated Wilson (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
The 24-year-old shortstop has been on the shelf nearly two weeks due to right thumb inflammation, and it's a bit of a surprise he's returning so quickly given that it was recently reported by MLB.com that he hadn't been swinging a bat since landing on the IL. Wilson is apparently good to go, however, and should reclaim the starting job at shortstop now that he's healthy. Through 50 games this season, he has a .277/.310/.386 slash line with four home runs, two steals, 26 RBI and 23 runs in 214 plate appearances.
-
Konnor Griffin PIT SS
Pirates' Konnor Griffin: Dealing with torn finger tendon
8h agoGriffin has been diagnosed with a torn tendon in his left ring finger and could be sidelined for at least a month, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Griffin injured the finger while making a diving catch during Sunday's game against the Nationals. He remained in the contest to take two more plate appearances, striking out in one and delivering a two-run single in the other. Passan notes Griffin could opt to play through the injury, but the most likely option is to rehab it, which would shelve the shortstop for at least a month. If an absence is required, Griffin could spend about six weeks in a splint and be out until September, per Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com. The Pirates should have more information on Griffin's status prior to Tuesday's contest against Atlanta.
-
Nathan Eaton BOS LF
Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Suspension reduced to two games
1h agoEaton will begin serving a two-game suspension Tuesday, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.
Major League Baseball initially issued Eaton a three-game ban for his role in the bench-clearing altercation between the Red Sox and Nationals, but his suspension has been cut down to two games following an appeal. He'll be eligible to return for Thursday's series finale against the White Sox.
-
Yohendrick Pinango TOR LF
Blue Jays' Yohendrick Pinango: Relegated to Buffalo
2h agoThe Blue Jays optioned Pinango to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.
Pinango has gone just 4-for-23 (.174) in eight games since his return to the big leagues, and he'll now end up as the roster casualty necessary to clear space for Chad Dallas. The 24-year-old Pinango still owns a .726 OPS with Toronto this season and figures to have a good chance to return to the majors later in the year.
-
Tommy Edman LAD LF
Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Back in lineup
2h agoEdman (foot/ankle) will start in left field and bat fifth Tuesday against the Rockies, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Problems with Edman's surgically repaired right foot/ankle have kept Edman from making the starting nine for each of the Dodgers' last two games, though he came in off the bench in both contests. Now healthy and back in the lineup, he'll aim to stay hot after slashing .347/439/.510 with nine RBI and six runs scored in 17 games since his return from the injured list June 17.
-
Luis Lara MIL CF
Brewers' Luis Lara: Batting second in MLB debut
2h agoLara is starting in center field and batting second in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.
The 21-year-old was promoted prior to the start of the twin bill and didn't see the field in Game 1, but he'll fill a marquee spot in the lineup while making his MLB debut in the nightcap. Lara is one of Milwaukee's top prospects and has posted a .910 OPS with nine homers and 24 steals in 78 games at Triple-A Nashville this season.
-
Garrett Mitchell MIL CF
Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Ending twin bill on bench
2h agoMitchell isn't in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.
Mitchell went 2-for-4 and drove in a run during Milwaukee's Game 1 victory, but he'll move to the bench to allow Luis Lara to make his MLB debut while starting in center field during the nightcap.
-
Jackson Chourio MIL LF
Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Resting during Game 2
2h agoChourio isn't in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against St. Louis.
Chourio will retreat to the bench for the final half of Tuesday's twin bill after going 0-for-5 at the plate in Game 1. Jake Bauers will fill in as Milwaukee's left fielder, giving Andrew Vaughn a start at first base.
-
Bruce Zimmermann STL SP
Cardinals' Bruce Zimmermann: DFA'd ahead of nightcap
2h agoThe Cardinals designated Zimmermann for assignment before Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.
Zimmermann coughed up three earned runs in five innings while working in bulk relief during the first half of Tuesday's twin bill, and he'll lose his place on the 40-man roster now that his services are no longer needed. Jared Shuster will come up from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move to add bullpen depth.
-
Jameson Taillon CHC SP
Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Headed for another rehab start
3h agoCubs manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that Taillon (hamstring) is expected to make another rehab start before returning from the 15-day injured list, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Though Taillon joined the team in Baltimore for the start of their six-game road trip, Counsell said that the right-hander won't be activated this week unless the Cubs lose one of their healthy starters to an injury and have to adjust the rotation on the fly. Assuming Taillon isn't needed, he'll report to an affiliate over the weekend to make the second start of his rehab assignment, then make his return from the IL following the All-Star break. Taillon made his first rehab start this past Sunday at High-A South Bend, tossing 3.1 innings and 45 pitches (32 strikes) while striking out two and allowing one run on four hits and zero walks.
-
Jhony Brito SD SP
Padres' Jhony Brito: Summed for bulk duty
4h agoThe Padres recalled Brito from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Brito is slated to serve in a bulk relief capacity in Tuesday's game against Arizona. The right-hander missed all of the 2025 season and the early part of the current season following internal brace surgery on his elbow last May. In eight outings between Double-A San Antonio and El Paso, Brito collected a 1.46 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 27:14 K:BB in 37 innings.
-
Khal Stephen CLE SP
Guardians' Khal Stephen: Headed for UCL surgery
4h agoGuardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said Sunday that Stephen (elbow) will undergo UCL surgery during the upcoming week, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Antonetti noted that a decision on whether Stephen requires a UCL repair or reconstruction will be determined once Dr. Keith Meister gets a chance to get a closer look at the right-hander's elbow before surgery is performed. Stephen will miss the rest of the season regardless of the specificity of his procedure, though a repair could shave a few months off his recovery timeline and give him a chance at returning to action early in the 2027 campaign. The 23-year-old submitted a 3.27 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 49:23 K:BB in 55 innings over 12 starts for Double-A Akron before landing on the injured list June 10.
-
Jason Alexander HOU SP
Astros' Jason Alexander: Shelved at Triple-A
4h agoTriple-A Sugar Land placed Alexander on its 7-day injured list June 17 due to an unspecified injury.
After the Astros optioned Alexander to Triple-A on May 27, the right-hander made two starts before landing on the shelf. He'll likely remain out through the All-Star break, though an official timeline for his return to the Sugar Land rotation has yet to be established. Alexander owns a 5.32 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across 44 innings at Triple-A this season.
-
Michael Burrows HOU SP
Astros' Mike Burrows: Demoted to Triple-A
5h agoThe Astros optioned Burrows to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Burrows tied a season worst with seven earned runs allowed Monday against the Nationals, giving him a 6.84 ERA and 5.9 K/9 across his past 10 appearances. The right-hander was acquired from the Pirates during the offseason after posting a 3.94 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 97:31 K:BB over 96 innings during 2025, but he'll likely need to get back on track at Sugar Land before getting another look in the Astros' rotation.
-
Ben Joyce LAA RP
Angels' Ben Joyce: Starting rehab assignment Tuesday
36m agoJoyce (shoulder) is set to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with the Angels' Arizona Complex league squad Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Joyce has missed the entirety of the 2026 campaign while recovering from May 2025 shoulder surgery and a subsequent May 2026 setback. His rehab assignment will likely be a prolonged one, spanning outings at various levels in the Angels' minor-league system.
-
Chad Dallas TOR RP
Blue Jays' Chad Dallas: Back in majors
2h agoThe Blue Jays recalled Dallas from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.
Dallas conceded one earned run in 3.2 innings during his MLB debut June 4 and has since given up just one run in 13.2 frames at Triple-A. His strong performance will now buy him another look in the majors, presumably as a long-relief option. Yohendrick Pinango was optioned to Buffalo in a corresponding move.
-
Jared Shuster STL RP
Cardinals' Jared Shuster: Selected from Triple-A
2h agoThe Cardinals selected Shuster's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.
Since his last appearance in the big leagues May 6, Shuster has turned in a 9.00 ERA and 2.39 WHIP alongside a 16:14 K:BB across 18 innings with Memphis. Despite his poor performance, he'll return to the Cardinals' bullpen to give the big club a fresh arm for the second game of its doubleheader against Milwaukee. Bruce Zimmermann was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
-
Brad Keller PHI RP
Phillies' Brad Keller: Returning Wednesday
3h agoThe Phillies plan to reinstate Keller (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Keller made two rehab appearances with Triple-A Lehigh Valley over the weekend, and the Phillies will give him two days to rest up before activating him from the IL. The right-hander has recoded three saves and 13 holds with a 4.15 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 31:12 K:BB across 30.1 innings this year.
-
Bennett Sousa HOU RP
Astros' Bennett Sousa: Starts up rehab assignment
3h agoSousa (elbow) struck out one over a scoreless inning in a rehab appearance Sunday with Triple-A Sugar Land.
Sousa has been on the injured list since May 9 due to left elbow inflammation and will likely need to make multiple rehab appearances before the Astros are comfortable activating him. Before hitting the shelf, the southpaw reliever posted an 8.10 ERA and 2.40 WHIP in 3.1 innings over five appearances for Houston.
-
Cionel Perez NYM RP
Mets' Cionel Perez: Serving as opener Tuesday
3h agoPerez will serve as the Mets' opening pitcher Tuesday against the Royals.
After recording four outs in a 16-pitch appearance in Monday's 7-6 win, Perez will likely be capped at an inning or two in his start before turning the game over to the bullpen. Kodai Senga will be available on three days' rest and could be a candidate to cover multiple innings in long relief once Perez exits the game.
-
Shohei Ohtani LAD DH
Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Set to make last start before break
1h agoOhtani is expected to make his regularly scheduled start Friday against Arizona, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Ohtani was dealing with a right bicep injury last week, but the 32-year-old appears to have moved past the issue, erasing any concern about his chances to pitch in his next turn in the rotation. Manager Dave Roberts feels strongly about Ohtani's chances to go Friday, stating that "as we sit here, I don't see that changing." The right-handed pitcher has posted a slightly inflated 4.38 ERA and 1.34 WHIP with 28 strikeouts over 24.2 innings in his last four starts.
-
George Springer TOR DH
Blue Jays' George Springer: Out of Tuesday's lineup
1h agoSpringer isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.
Springer will miss out on the starting nine for a second straight game since returning from the family emergency list Monday. Sean Keys will fill in as Toronto's designated hitter and bat seventh.
-
Dominic Canzone SEA DH
Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Shedding platoon role
7h agoMariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto indicated Tuesday that Canzone will have a full-time spot in the middle of the lineup going forward, regardless of the handedness of the opposing starting pitcher, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Canzone has only four starts against left-handed pitching this season, but all four of those games have come in the past month. The 28-year-old has just 29 plate appearances versus southpaws this year, but his .994 OPS against them is apparently enough for Seattle to give him a chance as a true everyday player. Canzone had an .839 OPS in 82 regular-season games as a platoon outfielder in 2025, and he appears firmly on his way to a true breakout season with a .273/.349/.551 slash line and career-high 14 homers through 232 plate appearances thus far in 2026.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Knocks in four runs Monday
16h agoOhtani went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and four total RBI in an 8-7 extra-innings win against the Rockies on Monday.
Ohtani kicked off the scoring for Los Angeles with a two-run blast in the third inning. He added a two-run single in the fourth to log his first game with four-plus RBI since May 16. Ohtani tied his season high with three hits, a mark he's reached seven times so far this season. He's not putting up the jaw-dropping numbers at the plate that he did in his first two campaigns with Los Angeles, but Ohtani has still been one of the league's best hitters, posting a .944 OPS (third best in MLB) along with 19 home runs, 55 RBI, 61 runs and six stolen bases through 87 contests.
