  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Continues to pile up RBI in June

    Olson went 2-for-4 with three RBI, a double, a run scored and a walk in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

    Olson extended his on-base streak to 25 games in his big night at the plate, during which he racked up three RBI for the fourth time in June. Over his last 112 plate appearances, the star first baseman is slashing .304/.420/.522 with three home runs, 11 doubles and 23 RBI. Olson has also tallied at least one hit in 13 of his last 15 outings.

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Going through pre-game routine

    Harper (wrist) will go through his usual pre-game routine prior to Tuesday's game against the Astros, though he isn't expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list before the end of the series, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    The routine includes about 50 swings, fielding grounders and going through a throwing program, and if all goes well, he could take batting practice Wednesday. Harper continues to progress in his recovery from right wrist inflammation, and he appears to be lining up to rejoin the Phillies this weekend or next week, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic, though there's officially no timeline for his return.

  • Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Sidelined with hamstring issue

    Eldridge has a right hamstring strain and will miss 3-to-4 weeks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Eldridge suffered the injury while running the bases over the weekend with Triple-A Sacramento. The first baseman has posted a .230 average with three home runs, 13 RBI and five runs scored over 61 at-bats in 16 games with Sacramento since being promoted June 3. Eldridge was already uncertain to make a major impact with the Giants in 2025, and the injury shrinks his chances even more.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Idle Tuesday

    Schanuel isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Boston, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Schanuel doesn't typically exit the lineup against left-handed starters, but he will do so Tuesday with Garrett Crochet on the mound for the Red Sox. LaMonte Wade will take over at first base and bat eighth while Schanuel rests.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Josh Naylor: Scratched from lineup

    Naylor (shoulder) was scratched from the Diamondbacks' lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

    Naylor had initially been expected to start one day after exiting Monday's contest when he tweaked his right shoulder on a swing. It does not seem as though he's suffered a setback, but rather the Diamondbacks just want to play it safe and give him a little more rest. Pavin Smith will play first base Tuesday, and Randal Grichuk will enter the lineup at designated hitter.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Day off amid slump

    Torkelson is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Athletics.

    It's the second time in three contests that Torkelson -- who is 4-for-32 over his last nine games -- has been absent from the lineup. Colt Keith is at first base and batting leadoff Tuesday.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Josh Naylor: In Tuesday's lineup

    Naylor (shoulder) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

    Naylor had to be removed from Monday's contest in Chicago after tweaking his right shoulder on a swing. However, he has avoided a serious injury and will be back in there a day later. Naylor has collected an .824 OPS with nine home runs over 75 games for the Diamondbacks this season.

  • Justin Foscue 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Justin Foscue: Makes season debut

    Foscue started at first base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 6-0 loss to Baltimore.

    Foscue, who was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, made his season debut for the Rangers. His MLB debut came in April of 2024 but was cut short immediately by an oblique injury. The 14th overall pick in the 2021 First-Year Player Draft, Foscue came up as a second baseman but has since added first base to his profile and could see time there with Jake Burger (oblique) on the 10-day injured list.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Josh Naylor: May play Tuesday

    Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Naylor (shoulder) is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday against the White Sox, Casey Drottar of MLB.com reports

    Naylor went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI before being removed from Monday's 10-0 win in the fourth inning after injuring his right shoulder on a swing in the second inning. Should Naylor be unavailable Tuesday, Pavin Smith would likely fill in at first base against Chicago right-hander Jordan Leasure.

  • Matt Gorski 1B | LAD

    Pirates' Matt Gorski: Injured at Triple-A

    Triple-A Indianapolis transferred Gorski from its 7-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Friday while he recovers from an undisclosed injury.

    Gorski hasn't played for Indianapolis since May 23, so his move to the 60-day IL ensures that he'll remain on the shelf through the All-Star break. Before getting shut down at Indianapolis, Gorski got the chance to make his big-league debut with the Pirates earlier this season. The 27-year-old slashed .195/.214/.390 with two home runs in 42 plate appearances for Pittsburgh before he was optioned to Triple-A on May 17.
