  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE

    Phillies' Rhys Hoskins: Remains out of lineup

    Hoskins (groin) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

    Hoskins continues to deal with a left groin injury, and he'll be held out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game. Brad Miller will start at first base and bat fifth.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Extends hitting streak

    Bohm went 2-for-5 with two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's win over the Pirates.

    Bohm plated a run with a bases-loaded walk in the eighth, allowing Bryce Harper to cross home plate, and later added another one with an RBI groundout that scored J.T. Realmuto. The third baseman has hit safely in four straight games and is slashing .333/.412/.433 over his last 10 games.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Rises to Double-A

    The Rockies promoted Toglia from High-A Spokane to Double-A Hartford on Sunday, Dave Nichols of The Spokane Spokesman-Review reports.

    During his time at Spokane, the switch-hitting first baseman slashed .234/.333/.465 with seven stolen bases and a High-A West-leading 17 home runs. The 6-foot-5, 226-pound Toglia has also drawn favorable reviews for his defensive work at first base in addition to his power production at the dish. He'll likely remain with Hartford for the rest of the season.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Doubles twice, drives in two

    Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

    After homering Saturday, Cronenworth knocked in two runs right away on a double in the first inning. In addition, he added another double and a single in the game. The 27-year-old is batting .258 over the month of July with three homers, 14 RBI and 18 runs. On the season, he is slashing .279/.351/.477, trailing only Fernando Tatis (79) on the team with 73 runs scored.

  • Giants' LaMonte Wade: Exits with lower back tightness

    Wade was removed from Sunday's win over the Astros due to lower back tightness, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

    Wade returned to the lineup Saturday after he missed three games due to a bruised right lower leg, but he's now dealing with another injury that forced him out of Sunday's contest in the top of the ninth inning. It's not yet clear whether the issue will force him to miss additional time. Prior to his departure, the 27-year-old went 0-for-3 with a walk.

  • Diamondbacks' Asdrubal Cabrera: Not starting Sunday

    Cabrera is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

    Cabrera is 5-for-20 with three doubles, four walks, four RBI and two runs in six games since returning from the injured list, and he'll receive the day off Sunday. Drew Ellis will cover the hot corner for Arizona in the series finale.

  • Kole Calhoun 1B | CLE

    Diamondbacks' Kole Calhoun: On bench versus southpaw

    Calhoun is not in the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

    Calhoun started the last eight games and will head to the bench Sunday with left-hander Julio Urias starting for Los Angeles. Josh Reddick will take over in right field for the Diamondbacks.

  • Donovan Solano 1B | TEX

    Giants' Donovan Solano: Goes deep Saturday

    Solano went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-6 win over Houston.

    The infielder hit his first homer since June 26. Solano is rarely a threat as a power hitter, as his long ball Saturday allowed him to match his career high of four in a season. He's added 23 RBI, 27 runs scored, a pair of stolen bases and a .271/.327/.371 slash line through 278 plate appearances.

  • Giants' LaMonte Wade: Homers in return

    Wade (lower leg) went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-6 win over Houston.

    Wade was held out of the lineup for three days after suffering a bruised right leg Tuesday. He made a fairly emphatic return to the starting nine with his fifth homer in his last 35 at-bats. The 27-year-old is up to 13 long balls, 30 RBI, 26 runs scored and three stolen bases through 183 plate appearances. It's unclear how the Giants' acquisition of the versatile Kris Bryant might affect Wade's playing time over the last two months of the season.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE

    Phillies' Rhys Hoskins: Still sitting Sunday

    Hoskins (groin) is out of the lineup Sunday against the PIrates.

    Hoskins will be sidelined for the third straight contest as he continues to manage a left groin injury. Brad Miller will receive another start at first base in his place.
