MLB Player News

Wade was optioned to the Twins' alternate training site Tuesday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Wade has served as a reserve outfielder at times this season but has played very infrequently, grabbing three hits in 15 at-bats. With Byron Buxton returning from a shoulder injury in a corresponding move, Wade is no longer needed even in that minor role.

Diaz was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain Tuesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

The injury knocked Diaz out of Monday's game against the Yankees and will keep him sidelined for at least 10 more days. He reportedly had been dealing with the injury for a few days before it worsened Monday, but he doesn't expect a particularly lengthy stay on the injured list, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Nate Lowe was recalled in a corresponding move, though it will be Joey Wendle who starts at third base Tuesday against the Yankees.

Dalbec is not starting Tuesday against the Braves, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Dalbec started the Red Sox's first two game after earning his first career callup Sunday, going 2-for-8 with a homer and six strikeouts. Michael Chavis will be the first baseman Tuesday, with Yairo Munoz serving as the designated hitter.

Abreu went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Monday's win against the Twins.

Abreu has pushed his hitting streak to 14 games and has recorded two or more hits in six of those contests. The slugging first baseman has been one of the most consistent hitters in the American League and is slashing an impressive .414/.460/.966 during his torrid 14-game stretch.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's win over the Red Sox.

The first baseman didn't join in the extra-base hit parade, as five of Atlanta's 12 hits on the night were doubles or better, but Freeman still did his part to keep the line moving. The 30-year-old is having another spectacular season, and over the course of his current 14-game hitting streak he's slashing .392/.508/.627 with two homers, nine RBI and 11 runs.

Dalbec started at designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Braves.

Dalbec followed up Sunday's MLB debut, when he homered in his first plate appearance, with a four-strikeout night. That aligns with his minor-league track record as a productive home-run hitter with high strikeout totals. The rookie will be challenged by MLB pitching in September, but the Red Sox are going to give Dalbec regular at-bats in preparation for what is expected to be an everyday role in 2021.

Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a homer, a double and three RBI in Monday's 8-6 win over Washington.

Hoskins started the Phillies off with a solo shot in the first inning before driving in another two runs with a seventh-inning double. The 27-year-old first baseman has gone deep in three straight games, giving him six long balls this season.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Rays.

His eighth-inning blast off Edgar Garcia made things interesting, but the Yankees couldn't complete the comeback. Voit has now left the yard eight times in his last 12 games, and on the season he's slashing .301/.363/.709 with 13 homers and 26 RBI through 29 contests.

Hiura went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Monday's 6-5 win over the Pirates.

Hiura took Pirates starter Trevor Williams deep in the fifth inning, ending the latter's appearance. The 24-year-old Hiura has produced solid power (eight homers, .427 slugging percentage) and speed (three stolen bases) this season. He's added 18 RBI and 19 runs scored.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 7-5 win over the Reds.

The veteran slugger continues to rake. Goldschmidt is slashing a mammoth .349/.486/.530 through 26 games with three homers, 11 RBI and 17 runs, while Monday's steal was his first of 2020.
