    Reds' Ty France: Homers in win

    France went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-2 win over Miami.

    France answered the Marlins' two-run fourth inning with a leadoff homer in the fifth. It was the second home run in as many games for France, who made a fifth consecutive start at first base. It appears he's settling in as the club's primary first baseman, regardless of which starter is on the mound. During his five-start run, the first three starts were against left-handers and the last two against righties.

  • Justin Turner 1B | CHC

    Mariners' Justin Turner: Managing bruised hand

    Turner was diagnosed with a left hand contusion after getting hit by a pitch during Tuesday's game against Detroit, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Turner remained in the game to run the bases after he took a 95-mph sinker off his left hand in the seventh inning, but he was later pinch hit for by Cade Marlowe in the ninth frame. Precautionary X-rays came back clean after the game, and Turner is officially viewed as day-to-day heading into Wednesday's contest.

He's on a 10-game hitting streak, going 16-for-43 (.372) with five home runs and 15 RBI during the hot stretch.

The 32-year-old's 12th MLB season comes to and end with Flores having contributed four homers, 19 runs and 26 RBI in 242 plate appearances across 71 games. Mark Canha is slated to platoon with LaMonte Wade at first base in the closing two months of the regular season.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Idle against southpaw

    Arraez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Tallies hit in return

    Freeman went 1-for-4 in Monday's 5-3 win against the Phillies.

    Freeman missed eight games while on the family medical emergency list before returning to action Monday. He received a standing ovation from the crowd at Dodger Stadium prior to his first at-bat and singled to right field in the third. Freeman and his wife, Chelsea, shared that their three-year-old son was discharged from the hospital Sunday after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome. With the child on the mend, Freeman appears set to resume his everyday role at first base for the Dodgers.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Slugs another homer

    Pasquantino went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Red Sox on Monday.

    Pasquantino struck out in two of his first three at-bats but ended his performance on a positive note with a solo shot in the eighth inning. It was the first baseman's fifth homer over his past six contests, and he's added 11 RBI during that span. Prior to the power surge, Pasquantino had gone 17 games without a long ball.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Still donning splint

    Soderstrom (wrist) remains sidelined from baseball activity and is slated to wear a splint for several more days, MLB.com reports.

    Soderstrom is slated to keep the splint until at least Saturday, and he won't be able to start baseball activities until he's shed it. Soderstrom will presumably need a fairly lengthy rehab assignment whenever he's deemed ready for that step, considering he went on the IL on July 11 and is seemingly still multiple weeks away from being cleared for game action.
