  • Seth Brown LF | ATH

    Athletics' Seth Brown: Homers as part of three-hit day

    Brown went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.

    Brown got the A's back level with a solo home run in the fourth and then supplied a walk-off single in the ninth off Trent Thornton. Over his last six starts, Brown has turned in five multi-hit games while racking up 10 RBI over that span. Since being brought back up to the majors July 11, he's slashing .320/.381/.557 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 15 runs and a 10:27 BB:K in 136 plate appearances.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Guardians' Josh Naylor: Exits with acute back spasm

    Naylor left Tuesday's game versus the Royals with an acute back spasm, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Naylor went 1-for-4 but exited in the eighth inning, with Jhonkensy Noel replacing him as a pinch runner and staying in the game at first base. Noel could see time at first base if Naylor is unable to play in Wednesday's series finale. Naylor has mostly avoided injuries this year, missing time with general soreness in late July.

  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: On bench Tuesday

    Diaz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

    The 33-year-old served as Tampa Bay's designated hitter the past two games after sitting out Saturday due to a knee issue. It hasn't been reported that Diaz has suffered a setback, but it's possible his knee still isn't 100 percent. Jonathan Aranda is receiving a start at first base Tuesday for the Rays.

  • Anthony Rizzo 1B | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Rizzo: Out against left-hander

    Rizzo is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Rangers.

    Rizzo started each of the first two games off the injured list against right-handers but will begin Tuesday's game on the bench as the Rangers send lefty Andrew Heaney to the hill. DJ LeMahieu will draw the start at first base Tuesday.

  • Triston Casas 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Triston Casas: First day off since activation

    Casas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

    It's the first time Casas has been absent from the Red Sox lineup since he was activated from the 60-day injured list nearly three weeks ago. The Red Sox will go with Romy Gonzalez at first base against southpaw David Peterson.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Getting surgery for thumb

    Pasquantino said that he hopes to undergo surgery Tuesday for his fractured right thumb, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

    Assuming no other hand injury was uncovered during Pasquantino's thumb surgery, he'll face a 6-to-8-week recovery timeline. When speaking to the media Monday, Pasquantino said that in his mind, his season is not over, but even if the Royals make a deep playoff run, the coaching staff may not be keen in reintegrating him after a long absence. After his 2023 campaign was cut short to labrum surgery of his non-throwing shoulder, Pasquantino enjoyed a productive comeback season before suffering the fractured thumb last week, slashing .262/.315/.446 with 19 home runs, 97 RBI, 64 runs and one stolen base across 554 plate appearances.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Nearly ready for rehab assignment

    Soderstrom (wrist) will take batting practice at Oakland Coliseum on Tuesday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

    The rookie has been able to make steady progress over the last week-plus with respect to swinging a bat, and Tuesday will mark his biggest test yet. Assuming his BP session goes off without setbacks, he'll head to Triple-A Las Vegas for a rehab assignment. Soderstrom has been sidelined since July 9.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | BOS

    Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe: Back in lineup Monday

    Lowe went 1-for-4 in Monday's 8-4 loss to the Yankees.

    Lowe was back in the lineup after getting a breather Sunday in favor of prospect Justin Foscue, which was notable. Given the plight of the Rangers, who are 9.5 games back of the final wild-card spot, the club may use the final month of the season to develop its younger talent, and Lowe could lose playing time as a result.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Guardians' Josh Naylor: Homers, swipes bag in win

    Naylor went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run homer and a stolen base in Monday's 4-2 win over the Royals.

    Naylor took reliever Kris Bubic deep in the sixth inning for his 29th home run of the season. Naylor reached 100 RBI for the first time in his career with the long ball. The 27-year-old now joins Aaron Judge and teammate Jose Ramirez as the only three players this season to eclipse the century mark. Naylor has multi-hit efforts in four of his last five games following a 10-game stretch during which he went 2-for-35.

  • Yuli Gurriel DH | SD

    Royals' Yuli Gurriel: Exits game with injury

    Gurriel was lifted from Monday's game against the Guardians in the eighth inning due to right hamstring tightness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Gurriel doubled in his third plate appearance of the day but pulled up lame into second base. The 40-year-old had been dealing with a hamstring strain while at Triple-A Gwinnett before being traded to the Royals, and he has aggravated the injury in just the second game with his new club. Interim manager Paul Hoover said after the game it's considered a "super mild strain" and implied that Gurriel is day-to-day.
