  • Dustin Harris DH | TEX

    Rangers' Dustin Harris: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Rangers recalled Harris from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

    Harris will reach the majors for the first time in his career after spending the entire season with Round Rock, slashing .272/.355/.391 with 53 RBI across 486 plate appearances. Most of his starts this season have come as an outfielder, but he may be asked to handle third base occasionally until Ezequiel Duran returns from paternity leave.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Back from injured list Tuesday

    The Orioles reinstated Mountcastle (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    The 27-year-old has been sidelined for the past month due to a sprained left wrist, but he's ready to rejoin Baltimore after a three-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk. Mountcastle was in the midst of a 3-for-22 slump prior to the injury, and he also struggled during the rehab stint with just one hit and six strikeouts in 11 at-bats. He is not in Tuesday's lineup versus the Yankees, as Ryan O'Hearn will be at first base.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | PIT

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: DFA'd by Pittsburgh

    The Pirates designated Tellez for assignment Tuesday.

    Tellez slashed .310/.347/.533 from the beginning of June through the end of August, but he's hit only .116/.255/.209 in September and had been seeing his playing time dwindle. The Pirates have elected to move on from the veteran now and give his at-bats to others. Billy Cook is at first base for the Pirates on Tuesday and should share that spot with Connor Joe and Jared Triolo in the final week.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | PIT

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Out again versus righty

    Tellez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Brewers.

    This is the fifth time over the Pirates' last 10 games versus righties that Tellez has been out of the lineup, as the club is getting a look at some younger players down the stretch. Billy Cook will handle first base Tuesday.

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Sitting versus Skubal

    Aranda is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Detroit.

    The left-handed hitter has homered in three straight contests, but with southpaw ace Tarik Skubal on the bump for the Tigers in this one, Aranda will take a seat. Brandon Lowe will be at first base for the Rays in the series opener.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Returns to lineup Monday

    Walker went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Giants.

    Walker was back in the lineup after getting a day off Sunday. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo talked to Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports on Monday about giving Walker time off following his return from an oblique injury. "Yesterday I took [Christian] Walker out of the lineup... It's probably about three or four days too late to give him a day off, talking to the medical team," Lovullo said. Walker should be available for the final five games of the season.

  • Mark Canha 1B | SF

    Giants' Mark Canha: Logs steal in win

    Canha went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Canha hasn't seen much more than a short-side platoon role since he was traded from the Tigers to the Giants at the deadline. He's batting .282 with San Francisco, though he has just two extra-base hits (both doubles) and four RBI across 30 games with the team. Overall, Canha has a .240/.343/.343 slash line with seven home runs, 42 RBI, 45 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 123 games this season.

  • LaMonte Wade 1B | SF

    Giants' LaMonte Wade: Out against left-hander

    Wade is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Arizona.

    Southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez is on the hill for the Diamondbacks, so the left-handed-hitting Wade will yield to Mark Canha at first base. Though he's slashing .333/.439/.424 over 42 plate appearances versus lefties this season, Wade has just three starts against left-handers in 2024.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Drives in three runs

    Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, three RBI and two runs during Sunday's 10-9 win against Arizona.

    The first baseman delivered in the clutch Sunday with an RBI double in the seventh and a game-tying, two-run single in the ninth to help Milwaukee erase an eight-run deficit. Hoskins continues to carry a hot bat and has a .321/.406/.607 slash line with two homers over his past nine games, though he also has a 46.9 percent strikeout rate during that stretch.

  • Jake Burger 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Jake Burger: Swats 28th homer

    Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to Atlanta.

    All four of Miami's runs on the afternoon came on solo shots, with Burger launching his in the fourth inning off Grant Holmes. The 28-year-old slugger has gone yard three times in the last six contests, part of a 12-game stretch in which he's slashing .304/.327/.522 with nine RBI. Burger sits two long balls short of recording his second straight 30-homer campaign with six games left on the Marlins' schedule.
