    Red Sox's Bobby Dalbec: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Red Sox optioned Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    The move corresponds with Wilyer Abreu (ankle) being reinstated from the injured list. Dalbec has struggled at the plate since being recalled by the Red Sox on June 2, going 4-for-30 with four RBI and a 44.1 percent strikeout rate. He'll look to get his swing right in Triple-A, where he is slashing .245/.330/.529 with eight home runs and 21 RBI over 115 plate appearances.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Provides only offense Friday

    Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Guardians.

    The first baseman took Carlos Carrasco deep in the fourth inning, but it was all the offense the Blue Jays could muster in a 7-1 loss. Guerrero hadn't gone yard since June 6, and while he continues to scald the ball -- he's in the 99th percentile in average exit velocity and hard-hit rate -- a 5.9 degree average launch angle is costing him power. On the season, he's batting .281 with a career-low .406 SLG, eight homers and 31 RBI in 75 games.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Drives in three Friday

    Soderstrom went 2-for-2 with an RBI single, a two-run double, a walk and a run in a win over the Twins on Friday.

    Soderstrom's stellar night at the plate began with a first-inning RBI single that plated Abraham Toro (hamstring) and was followed up by a two-bagger in the fifth that drove home Miguel Andujar and Brent Rooker. The rookie has been on a tear at the plate since early June, producing a .314/.397/.588 slash line with six extra-base hits, 11 RBI and an acceptable 20.7 percent strikeout rate across the 58 plate appearances covering his last 15 games.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | BOS

    Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe: Knocks three hits

    Lowe went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's win over Kansas City.

    Lowe did most of his damage in the sixth inning when he hit a ground-rule double and came around to score the go-ahead run. He entered Friday's game in an 8-for-42 (.190) slump over 12 appearances since his last multi-hit performance June 5. He hit .343 through 18 games to begin his 2024 campaign but has since gone 25-for-118 (.212). For the season, Lowe is slashing .259/.352/.346 with 12 extra-base hits and 21 runs scored.

  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Homers, extends hitting streak

    Diaz went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Twins.

    Diaz collected two hits, including his fifth homer of the season, to extend his hitting streak to 13 games and his on-base streak to 22 games. He's batting .351 over the course of the hit streak, though he has just one home run, one double, four RBI and six runs scored to show for his efforts.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ARI

    Twins' Carlos Santana: Continues piping hot June

    Santana went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, double and an additional run scored Thursday against the Rays.

    Santana extended his modest hit streak to six games and posted his second three-hit game of the season while blasting his 12th home run Thursday. The 38-year-old has found the fountain of youth in June, going 20-for-55 (.364) with four homers, five doubles, 15 RBI, 10 runs and a couple of steals through 16 games this month.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Three hits, four RBI in win

    Mountcastle went 3-for-6 with two doubles, four RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's win over the Yankees while also drawing a walk.

    Mountcastle increased Baltimore's lead to six runs with a three-run double in the second before also coming around to score later in the frame. He would go on to reach base four times in the game while also driving in another run, matching his season high with four RBI. The first baseman has now recorded multiple hits in back-to-back contests and extended his hitting streak to five games with Thursday's performance.

  • Ben Rice 1B | NYY

    Yankees' Ben Rice: Not in Thursday's lineup

    Rice is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

    Rice started at first base in each of his first two games after being promoted, going 2-for-7 with a walk. He'll begin this one on the bench, with DJ LeMahieu handling the cold corner and Oswaldo Cabrera the hot corner.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Guardians' Josh Naylor: Homers twice in win

    Naylor went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Mariners.

    Naylor opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning. He then added a two-run home run in the fifth and a solo homer in the seventh. Naylor has hit safely in six of his last seven games, going 10-for-26 with three homers and seven RBI. While Naylor's current .237 average is well below last year's .308 mark, he has a .272 expected batting average and is just one homer shy of tying his career high of 20 in 2022.

  • Anthony Rizzo 1B | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Rizzo: Shifts to 60-day IL

    The Yankees transferred Rizzo (forearm) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

    The veteran first baseman is expected to be sidelined eight weeks after he landed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured right forearm, so the move to the 60-day IL doesn't come as a major surprise. Rizzo will be shut down from baseball activities for up to five weeks. Gerrit Cole (elbow) was activated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding transaction and is making his season debut Wednesday against the Orioles.
