  • Josh Bell DH | MIN

    Marlins' Josh Bell: Absent from lineup Saturday

    Bell is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

    Saturday marks Bell's first day off since June 24. He went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in the series opener Friday, and since his last day off, Bell has gone 4-for-39 with two RBI and 11 strikeouts. Jonah Bride will serve as the designated hitter Saturday and bat sixth against White Sox southpaw Garrett Crochet.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Idle vs. southpaw Saturday

    Tellez is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

    The lefty-hitting Tellez will begin Saturday's contest on the bench with southpaw David Peterson taking the mound for the Mets. Tellez opened the four-game series strong Friday, going 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI. Connor Joe will start at first base Saturday and bat in the cleanup spot.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Slugs grand slam

    Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Dodgers.

    Hoskins opened July in an 0-for-13 skid before the grand slam in his second at-bat Friday. The blast gave the Brewers a 5-2 lead, but they mustered just one hit after that. Hoskins is slashing .218/.311/.402 with 12 homers, 42 RBI, 27 runs scored and two stolen bases over 270 plate appearances this season.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Pops 10th homer

    Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Royals.

    Toglia has been in the midst of a slump, as he entered Friday's game having collected only three hits across 19 at-bats in his last six matchups. He ended that with a solo home run in the third inning, his 10th long ball of the campaign. Toglia has shown an all-or-nothing approach at the plate this season, as he has a 32.3 percent strikeout rate paired with a .245 ISO in 158 plate appearances.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Two homers, five RBI in win

    Tellez went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in a 14-2 win over the Mets on Friday.

    Tellez got the Pirates on the board with a solo homer in the fourth inning and added a grand slam in the eighth. The first baseman has been on fire, homering five times with four multi-hit efforts over his past 10 games. He has just two hits against left-handed pitching this year but is hitting a solid .262 with seven home runs and 28 RBI over 202 plate appearances against righties.

  • Owen Miller 2B | CHC

    Brewers' Owen Miller: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Brewers sent Miller outright to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

    Miller was dropped from Milwaukee's 40-man roster Monday but will remain with the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 27-year-old has slashed .257/.340/.377 through 200 plate appearances with the Sounds, and although he hasn't performed as well at the plate in the majors, his defensive versatility still gives him some value as an organizational depth piece.

  • Jake Bauers RF | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Getting Friday off

    Bauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Friday's game versus the Dodgers.

    Rhys Hoskins will get the nod at first base while Bauers sits for the second game in a row Friday, opening up the DH spot for Christian Yelich while Jackson Chourio starts in left field.

  • Kody Clemens 1B | MIN

    Phillies' Kody Clemens: Absent from starting nine

    Clemens is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Clemens will dodge a matchup with southpaw Max Fried on Friday, giving way to Alec Bohm at first base. Clemens is batting 4-for-14 with a pair of doubles across his last four games.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Another monster performance

    Walker went 2-for-3 with two homers, three RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's win over the Dodgers while also drawing two walks.

    Walker was at it again Thursday, going back-to-back with Joc Pederson in the opening frame for the first baseman's first home run of the contest before smacking a two-run shot in his next at-bat. The 33-year-old has now clubbed two home runs in back-to-back games and has gone deep in three consecutive contests overall. Furthermore, Thursday marked his fourth straight game with multiple RBI and his fifth straight game with multiple hits. Over that latter stretch Walker's batting .650 (13-for-20) with five homers, 11 RBI and eight runs scored.

  • Jake Bauers RF | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Sitting Thursday

    Bauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Rockies.

    Bauers has gone 2-for-10 with an RBI and two walks over his last four games, and he'll now take a seat for Thursday's series finale. Rhys Hoskins will take over at first base while William Contreras serves as Milwaukee's DH, allowing Eric Haase to start behind the plate.
