  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Opens scoring in win

    Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Angels.

    Freeman extended his hitting streak to six games with the fourth-inning solo shot, which was all the offense the Dodgers needed in the win. He's gone just 6-for-25 (.240) in that span, and just two of those knocks have gone for extra bases. The slump is barely registering in his season stats -- he's still slashing .323/.403/.558 with 14 homers, 47 RBI, 60 runs scored, 10 stolen bases, 25 doubles and a triple through 74 contests. The first baseman remains one of the top all-around producers from a fantasy perspective.

    Mets' Pete Alonso: Launches 23rd homer

    Alonso went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 10-8 loss to the Astros.

    The first baseman took Rafael Montero deep in the sixth inning, giving the Mets their last offense of the day. It's Alonso's first homer in four games since making an early return from a bone bruise in his wrist, but overall he's gone just 2-for-16 during that stretch. Despite missing eight games earlier this month with the injury, the 28-year-old still leads the NL with 23 home runs on the year.

  • Giants' Wilmer Flores: Nearing return

    Flores (foot) said he expects to be activated from the injured list when first eligible early next week, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Flores ran the bases and fielded grounders Wednesday as he completes his recovery from the left foot contusion that sent him to the 10-day IL on June 17. It sounds like he'll be ready to return to the Giants' active roster ahead of their series opener next Tuesday in Toronto.

  • LaMonte Wade 1B | CHW

    Giants' LaMonte Wade: Aiming to return Thursday

    Wade (side) said he's hoping to return to the starting lineup Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Wade was sent for an MRI on Wednesday morning after being scratched from the Giants' lineup Tuesday due to right side tightness. The results of the imaging scan were apparently encouraging enough that he won't require a stint on the injured list, and he could even be available off the bench Wednesday night against the Padres.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Reaches 10 thefts

    Freeman went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Angels.

    Freeman has notched exactly one hit in each of his past five games, and he's reached safely via hit or walk in 13 consecutive contests. The first baseman's steal Tuesday was his 10th of the campaign, marking the third time in his career he's reached that mark. Freeman ranks third in the majors with a .324 average on the season, and he's one of 13 big leaguers with double-digit thefts and homers so far.

  • Keston Hiura 2B | LAD

    Brewers' Keston Hiura: Activated at Triple-A

    Triple-A Nashville reinstated Hiura (knee) from its 7-day injured list Wednesday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

    Hiura will rejoin Nashville after he recently completed a three-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, where he went 4-for-10 with a double and a walk. The 26-year-old had been on the shelf at Triple-A since mid-May due to a PCL injury.

  • LaMonte Wade 1B | CHW

    Giants' LaMonte Wade: Headed for MRI

    Wade is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday after tweaking his right side in batting practice prior to Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Padres, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Wade was scratched from the lineup ahead of the contest after reporting his injury to the coaching staff. He'll most likely end up sitting out Wednesday's matchup with the Padres as well while the Giants evaluate the results of his MRI, but Wade can be viewed as day-to-day until an updated diagnosis is provided by the team.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Two hits, steal in win

    Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Nationals.

    Goldschmidt has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, and he has six multi-hit efforts in that span while batting .349 (15-for-43). The first baseman's steal was his eighth of the season, surpassing his total of seven for all of 2022. He's slashing .291/.382/.500 with 13 homers, 38 RBI, 48 runs scored and 20 doubles over 72 contests -- numbers in line with his 2021 production, though they look worse compared to his 2022 MVP season.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Homers Tuesday

    Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Phillies.

    It was Olson's 21st homer of the year, tying him for third most in the league, and his fourth in nine games. He's gone 10-for-37 (.270) with a .974 OPS in that span. It's been another strong season for the 29-year-old Olson -- he's slashing .327/.403/.558 with 52 RBI and 52 runs scored across 329 plate appearances.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ARI

    Pirates' Carlos Santana: Gets afternoon off

    Santana is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

    With the Pirates wrapping up their series with the Cubs with a day game, manager Derek Shelton likely viewed it as an ideal time to give Santana a breather. The 37-year-old had started in each of Pittsburgh's last 12 games, producing a .680 OPS during that stretch. Connor Joe will fill in for Santana at first base and serve as Pittsburgh's cleanup hitter.
