  • Matt Beaty 1B | KC

    Dodgers' Matt Beaty: Promoted to big club

    Beaty was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Beaty has been promoted to take the place of Chris Taylor, who was diagnosed with a broken left forearm Monday. Beaty has pieced together a .278/.297/.407 slash line with two homers and 17 RBI in 37 games this season for the Dodgers.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero Jr.: Sitting out series opener

    Guerrero is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

    Following his star turn in the Home Run Derby, Guerrero wasn't able to carry the power display into the Jays' series against the Yankees over the weekend. Guerrero went 2-for-12 while starting all three games, with both of his hits being singles. Brandon Drury will spell the rookie at the hot corner.

  • Tigers' Brandon Dixon: Bows out of lineup

    Dixon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Indians, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    Dixon started all three of the Tigers' games in Kansas City over the weekend, going 3-for-10 with a pair of doubles, a walk, three RBI and two runs. The 27-year-old looks locked in as Detroit's primary first baseman, but he'll take a seat in the series opener in Cleveland while Niko Goodrum mans the position.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | CLE

    Rays' Nate Lowe: On bench against lefty

    Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    The reigning American League Player of the Week will take a seat with a tough southpaw (James Paxton) on the bump for New York. After a huge four-game series in Baltimore over the weekend during which he went 8-for-17 with three home runs, seven RBI and six runs, Lowe looks poised to see fairly steady work even with Ji-Man Choi's recent return from the injured list crowding the Rays' first-base/designated-hitter ranks.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Clubs 17th homer

    Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs overall in a win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

    Goldschmidt's 416-foot blast to left in the third inning extended the Cardinals' lead to 4-0 and served as his third round tripper of July. The extra-base hits are finally starting to materialize for the 31-year-old, after a largely frustrating first half during which he made plenty of hard contact but saw relatively modest return. Factoring in Sunday's production, Goldschmidt already has five extra-base hits (two doubles, three homers) in nine July games, just one fewer than the six extra-base knocks he generated during all of June.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | CLE

    Rays' Nate Lowe: Scores twice in win

    Lowe went 2-for-4 with two runs in a win over the Orioles on Sunday.

    Lowe followed up an impressive performance in Saturday's doubleheader nightcap by crossing the plate with half of the Rays' runs Sunday. The rookie has swung a blistering hot bat since returning from the All-Star break, going 8-for-17 with a double, three home runs, seven RBI, a walk and six runs over the four-game weekend set against the Orioles.

  • Diamondbacks' Wilmer Flores: Moving rehab to Reno

    Flores (foot) will transition his rehab from the rookie-level Arizona League to Triple-A Reno, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

    Flores played four games at the rookie level, going 7-for-13 with four doubles and a triple. Next up, the 27-year-old veteran will move up to Reno to face more advanced pitching and could be an option to rejoin the Diamondbacks in time for their upcoming homestand, which starts Thursday against Milwaukee. His return creates an infield logjam for manager Torey Lovullo, who will have four bodies for first, second and third base: Flores, Eduardo Escobar, Christian Walker and Jake Lamb.

  • Yuli Gurriel DH | SD

    Astros' Yuli Gurriel: Hits another homer

    Gurriel went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and RBI single in a 12-4 victory against the Rangers on Sunday.

    The 35-year-old is on one tremendous power surge, as he already has eight homers in nine games this month. Dating back to June 23, Gurriel has 11 long balls in his last 15 contests. That's more than made up for his slow start in the home run department. Gurriel is hitting .281 with 16 home runs, 55 RBI, 52 runs and three steals in 345 at-bats this season.

  • Braves' Freddie Freeman: Slugs clutch home run

    Freeman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a victory over the Padres on Sunday.

    After both teams were held scoreless for seven innings, Freeman delivered the first runs of the game with a three-run blast to right field in the top of the eighth. The long ball was the only extra-base hit for either team in a game that was dominated by pitching. Freeman has struggled a bit in July, hitting only .200 (7-for-35), but remains one of the elite hitters in the game with his overall .302/.387/.576 slash line, 24 home runs and 71 runs batted in.

  • Donovan Solano 1B | TEX

    Giants' Donovan Solano: Drives in two runs

    Solano went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 8-3 win over Milwaukee.

    It was just the second multi-RBI game of 2019 for the veteran infielder. Solano is still struggling to get every-day playing time, but he owns a respectable .307/.337/.398 slash line in 95 plate appearances.
