  • Justin Bour 1B | SF

    Angels' Justin Bour: Rejoins Angels

    Bour was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

    Bour was sent to Triple-A in mid-May after posting a .584 OPS through 30 games, but he's appeared to find his stroke in the minors with a .292/.400/.611 slash line. The 31-year-old will start at first base and bat fifth in his return to the majors.

  • Luke Voit 1B | NYM

    Yankees' Luke Voit: Blasts three-run homer

    Voit went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer as the Yankees defeated the Mets 12-5 in the first game of a doubleheader Tuesday.

    Voit gave the Yankees a lead they would not relinquish with a three-run bomb to left in the fourth inning off Zack Wheeler. It was the 28-year-old's 16th homer of the season and the fifth in his last 16 games. Voit's slash line is now .263/.379/.508 for the year, and he has 44 RBI in 236 at-bats.

  • Triston Casas 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Triston Casas: First career four-hit game

    Casas went 4-for-5 with a home run, double and four RBI on Monday in Low-A Greenville's 9-2 win over Kannapolis.

    The four-hit performance was the first of Casas' career since he was selected in the first round of the 2018 first-year player draft. The third baseman has delivered multi-hit efforts in three of his past six starts and maintains a .275/.350/.517 line for the season.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | ATL

    Blue Jays' Rowdy Tellez: Sitting Tuesday

    Tellez heads to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

    Tellez sits for the fourth time in six games, with each off day coming against a lefty starter. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will rest his legs as the designated hitter Tuesday, with Brandon Drury starting at the hot corner.

  • C.J. Cron 1B | BOS

    Twins' C.J. Cron: Heads to bench

    Cron is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against Seattle.

    Cron has hit .333/.397/.596 over his last 14 contests. He'll get a rest Tuesday, with Marwin Gonzalez playing first base.

  • Kole Calhoun 1B | CLE

    Angels' Kole Calhoun: Homers against Dodgers

    Calhoun went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-3 win for the Angels over the Dodgers on Monday.

    Calhoun was the only Angel to get to Hyun-Jin Ryu, as he touched up the Dodgers' red-hot lefty with a solo homer in the second inning for his 14th long ball of the season. The veteran was hitting just .194 at the end of April but he's turned it on since then, as this performance leaves him with a .243/.332/.496 slash line through 226 at-bats.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Athletics' Matt Olson: RBI parade continues

    Olson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a win over the Rangers on Sunday.

    Olson took Drew Smyly deep in the second inning to drive in his fifth and sixth runs over the last six games. The slugging infielder now has nine homers on the season, a total he's compiled at a pace of just under one every three games. Olson's .227 average and .319 on-base percentage still have plenty of room for improvement, but his .504 slugging percentage and .823 OPS both qualify as the second-best figures of his career.

  • Yandy Diaz DH | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Posts four-hit game

    Diaz went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs in a 6-1 victory against the Red Sox on Sunday.

    The 27-year-old had a nice weekend at Fenway Park, but his hot streak really started at Comerica Park on Thursday. Diaz is 9-for-23 (.391) in the last five games. The bad news is that hot streak has produced eight singles with just one homer and two RBI. Diaz is batting .270 with 10 home runs, 24 RBI, 31 runs and one steal in 189 at-bats during 2019.

  • Rangers' Asdrubal Cabrera: Swats 10th homer

    Cabrera went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Athletics.

    Cabrera did all his damage from the sixth inning on, including nearly sparking a rally against Oakland closer Blake Treinen in the ninth. The 33-year-old infielder owns a solid .805 OPS with 38 RBI and 20 extra-base hits across 223 plate appearances.

  • Kole Calhoun 1B | CLE

    Angels' Kole Calhoun: Sitting out Sunday

    Calhoun is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

    With the Mariners bringing a lefty (Wade LeBlanc) to the hill as their primary pitcher, Calhoun will bow out of the lineup. Cesar Puello replaces him in the outfield and will bat fifth.
