  • Jonah Bride 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Jonah Bride: Goes deep twice

    Bride went 2-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in Friday's win over the Blue Jays.

    Bride knocked a two-run homer in the first inning and capped off Miami's 15-run outburst with a solo shot in the eighth. He's gone 9-for-21 (.429) with four home runs over his last five games. Bride is up to 11 homers this season with an .814 OPS and 36 RBI through 264 plate appearances.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Grand in Friday's win

    Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's 8-4 win against the Mets.

    The 31-year-old opened the game's scoring by slugging a 386-foot grand slam in the opening frame off Sean Manaea. This marks the fifth grand slam of Hoskins' career and third this season. He now sports a .215/.303/.422 slash line with 26 homers, 82 RBI and 58 runs across 513 plate appearances this season.

  • Luis Arraez 1B | SD

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Three extra-base hits in win

    Arraez went 3-for-5 with a triple, two doubles, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Arraez started the game with a double and scored on a Manny Machado single. In the fourth inning, Arraez tacked on the Padres' last run with an RBI triple. It's rare for him to have many extra-base hits, but he has just four singles among his last 11 hits over an 11-game span. For the year, Arraez is at a .314/.346/.391 slash line with four home runs, 31 doubles, three triples, 46 RBI, 82 runs scored and nine stolen bases over a career-high 149 contests.

  • Jake Bauers 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Getting rest against southpaw

    Bauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

    The lefty-hitting Bauers will grab a seat on the bench Friday with the lefty-throwing Sean Manaea set to throw the first pitches for New York. Gary Sanchez will serve as Milwaukee's designated hitter instead while batting eighth.

  • Joey Gallo 1B | WAS

    Nationals' Joey Gallo: Sitting against left-hander

    Gallo is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    It's southpaw Ranger Suarez on the bump for the Phillies, so the lefty-hitting Gallo will begin the festivities on the bench. Juan Yepez is playing first base for the Nationals while Stone Garrett gets a start at designated hitter.

  • Michael Busch 1B | CHC

    Cubs' Michael Busch: Back in action Friday

    Busch (triceps) will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Friday's contest against the Reds.

    Busch missed one game with a sore triceps as a result of a hit-by-pitch, but he's feeling well enough to play after Thursday's team off day. Cody Bellinger is at first base in this one while Kevin Alcantara handles right field.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Knocks in two

    Toglia went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, and two RBI on Thursday against the Cardinals.

    Toglia snapped out of a very short slump, as he entered Thursday's contest with only one hit across 14 at-bats in his last four games. He's enjoyed a breakout season and has picked things up in the second half, maintaining a .340 wOBA and .782 OPS with 35 runs scored and 21 RBI across 62 games.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Out for regular season

    Freeman (ankle) was seen on crutches and in a walking boot following Thursday's game against the Padres and will not return during the regular season, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Freeman rolled his ankle attempting to avoid a tag at first base on an off-target throw, but the Dodgers said he avoided structural damage. He is expected to be ready for the postseason.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Smacks 22nd homer

    Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-8 loss to the Rockies.

    Goldschmidt went back-to-back with Lars Nootbaar in the first inning. This long ball ended a 19-game homer drought for Goldschmidt, who hit just .197 (13-for-66) in that span. The first baseman is up to 22 homers on the year, but his .241/.299/.403 slash line represents career-low numbers across the board. He's added 62 RBI, 69 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 152 games.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Exits Thursday's game

    Freeman exited Thursday's game against the Padres with an apparent ankle injury, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    Freeman was attempting to avoid a tag at first base and rolled his ankle in the process. He walked off the field under his own power but immediately went to the clubhouse. The severity of the issue is unclear, though it wouldn't be a surprise for the Dodgers to rest him in hopes of a postseason return -- particularly if they can clinch the NL West on Thursday.
