  • Ty France 1B | SD

    Reds' Ty France: Sitting for series finale

    France is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against Kansas City.

    France will get a breather Sunday after going 3-for-6 across the first two games of the series. Spencer Steer will man first base and bat third against Royals right-hander Brady Singer.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Tallies 20th homer

    Toglia went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Saturday against the Padres.

    Toglia was the lone source of offense for the Rockies as he belted his 20th homer of the season in the sixth inning off Dylan Cease. That extended his hitting streak to 10 games -- three of which have been on the road -- during which he's gone 12-for-34 with four RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Taking soft-toss swings

    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told MLB.com on Friday that Walker (oblique) is swinging against soft-toss pitching and doing light running.

    Walker, who landed on the injured list July 30, remains hopeful he'll be ready to go by the three-week mark, which is fast approaching. This coming week marks his potential return. Fortunately for Arizona, the team has covered his absence well with the addition of Josh Bell, and the Diamondbacks don't have to rush Walker back.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Homer, three RBI in win

    Tellez went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Mariners.

    Tellez gave the Pirates the lead on a two-run homer in the fourth inning and later added an RBI double in the seventh. While the long ball was his first since July 24, the first baseman has hit safely in eight of his last 10 games. He will continue to sit against left-handed pitchers but is batting .250 with 10 home runs and 42 RBI across 333 plate appearances in 2024.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: X-rays negative, DTD

    X-rays on Freeman's right middle finger came back negative Saturday, and he's considered day-to-day, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Freeman's finger swelled up after being jammed in the sixth inning, resulting in his removal. The negative X-rays are confirmation Freeman's not dealing with anything serious, and he could even be in the lineup Sunday if the swelling subsides. However, he won't have much time to recover with first pitch scheduled for shortly after 2:00 pm ET on Sunday.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Exits with jammed finger

    The Dodgers removed Freeman from Saturday's game against the Cardinals due to a jammed finger, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Freeman jammed the middle finger on his right hand fielding a groundball in the sixth inning, and he was ultimately removed due to the issue. Freeman went 1-for-3 with an RBI single prior to leaving. While a jammed finger isn't usually a big deal, he should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Not facing lefty

    Arraez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

    With southpaw Kyle Freeland on the bump for Colorado, the lefty-hitting Arraez will take a seat on the bench. In his last eight games, Arraez is 14-for-36 (.389) with five RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases. Manny Machado will DH on Saturday while Donovan Solano plays the hot corner.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: On bench Saturday

    Hoskins is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Cleveland.

    Hoskins will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going 0-for-7 with four strikeouts across his last two games. Jake Bauers will play first base while William Contreras serves as the DH.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Picks up steal in win

    Toglia went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-3 win over the Padres.

    Toglia extended his hitting streak to nine games, a span in which he's gone 11-for-31 (.355). He continues to see steady playing time at first base, even though he's in the midst of a 13-game homer drought. For the season, he's recorded a .220/.296/.489 slash line with 19 homers, six steals, 43 RBI, 42 runs scored, eight doubles and three triples over 297 plate appearances.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Pops 19th homer

    Goldschmidt went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Dodgers.

    Goldschmidt's blast tied the game at 2-2 in the second inning. The first baseman's consistency hasn't returned in August -- he's just 7-for-42 (.167) with two homers and seven RBI over 12 contests this month. He's still managed to produce decent power with 19 homers and 19 doubles through 117 contests, but his batting average (.231) has been stagnant since mid-June, and he's added just 49 RBI, 58 runs scored and seven stolen bases for a team that's struggled to generate much offense.
