  • Ty France 1B | SD

    Mariners' Ty France: Raps out three more hits

    France went 3-for-4 with two doubles and one RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox.

    France has a pair of three-hit efforts over his last three games. Entering Tuesday, he had gone nine contests without an extra-base hit before slapping a pair of doubles. The first baseman is up to a .255/.325/.373 slash line with seven home runs, 40 RBI, 57 runs scored, one stolen base and 26 doubles through 104 games this season.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Guardians' Josh Naylor: Scratched with side tightness

    Naylor was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against Houston due to right side tightness, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    No details have been provided regarding the severity of Naylor's injury, but it is apparently enough to keep him out of Tuesday's contest. David Fry will enter as Cleveland's first baseman and bat fifth.

  • Matt Beaty 1B | KC

    Royals' Matt Beaty: Back from injured list

    Beaty (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

    Beaty landed on the shelf June 23 after suffering a concussion, and he'll rejoin the Royals on Tuesday after a six-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha. The 30-year-old has appeared in just seven big-league games this season and should fill a bench role now that he's healthy.

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | PIT

    Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Not starting Tuesday

    O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    O'Hearn started the past four games and will receive a day off after he went 5-for-16 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs during that stretch. Ryan Mountcastle will shift to first base while Gunnar Henderson serves as the designated hitter versus Toronto lefty Hyun Jin Ryu.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Racks up three hits

    Arias went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Astros.

    Arias has gone 8-for-18 (.444) over five games since taking over as the Guardians' primary shortstop following the trade that sent Amed Rosario to the Dodgers. Prior to picking up the starting job, Arias had endured an 0-for-20 slump stretched across 19 games -- he was often a pinch runner or defensive replacement in that span. He's at a .209/.309/.323 slash line with four home runs, one stolen base, six RBI, 17 runs scored and six doubles through 181 plate appearances this year. As long as he continues to hit well, Arias should be able to fend off Tyler Freeman for playing time.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Drives in three runs

    Mountcastle went 2-for-3 with two doubles and three RBI in Monday's win over Toronto.

    Mountcastle knocked a two-run double in the first inning and later added an RBI sacrifice fly in the third. His results are starting to match his strong batted-ball data; Mountcastle has gone 12-for-34 (.353) with six extra-base hits over his last 11 games. Still, his season slash line sits at a disappointing .245/.282/.450 through 305 plate appearances.

  • Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Traded to Cleveland for Civale

    Manzardo (shoulder) was traded from the Rays to the Guardians in exchange for Aaron Civale on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    This one-for-one deal is final, as Manzardo goes from the 64-44 Rays to the 53-53 Guardians. Manzardo has been on the 7-day injured list since July 6 due to a sore left shoulder, per Topkin, but he is expected to return to action soon. He hit .238/.342/.442 with 11 home runs, a 20.8 percent strikeout rate and a .269 BABIP in 73 games for Triple-A Durham before landing on the shelf.

  • Ty France 1B | SD

    Mariners' Ty France: Three-hit day in win

    France went 3-for-4 with an RBI single in a win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

    France extended his on-base streak to 10 games with Sunday's multi-hit effort, his third over that same span. Although the current stretch is certainly encouraging, it's worth noting only one of France's 10 hits during the sample has gone for extra bases, and he has just three -- all doubles -- in 24 contests during July.

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | PIT

    Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Drives in three runs

    O'Hearn went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's victory over the Yankees.

    O'Hearn knocked a two-run double during Baltimore's seven-run first inning and later added another RBI base knock. He's been hot for most of the month, going 22-for-67 (.328) with nine extra-base hits over his last 22 games. The 30-year-old lefty entered the season with a career .683 OPS but is currently slashing .304/.345/.525 with 22 extra-base hits and 36 RBI through 197 plate appearances.

  • Kevin Padlo 1B | LAD

    Angels' Kevin Padlo: Gets DFA'd

    Padlo was designated for assignment by the Angels on Sunday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Padlo's contract was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, but he didn't appear in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Blue Jays. The Angels acquired C.J. Cron and Randal Grichuk from the Rockies on Sunday night, so Padlo will lose his spot on the team's 40-man roster.
