  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Pops 10th homer

    Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Royals.

    Toglia has been in the midst of a slump, as he entered Friday's game having collected only three hits across 19 at-bats in his last six matchups. He ended that with a solo home run in the third inning, his 10th long ball of the campaign. Toglia has shown an all-or-nothing approach at the plate this season, as he has a 32.3 percent strikeout rate paired with a .245 ISO in 158 plate appearances.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Two homers, five RBI in win

    Tellez went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in a 14-2 win over the Mets on Friday.

    Tellez got the Pirates on the board with a solo homer in the fourth inning and added a grand slam in the eighth. The first baseman has been on fire, homering five times with four multi-hit efforts over his past 10 games. He has just two hits against left-handed pitching this year but is hitting a solid .262 with seven home runs and 28 RBI over 202 plate appearances against righties.

  • Owen Miller 2B | CHC

    Brewers' Owen Miller: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Brewers sent Miller outright to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

    Miller was dropped from Milwaukee's 40-man roster Monday but will remain with the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 27-year-old has slashed .257/.340/.377 through 200 plate appearances with the Sounds, and although he hasn't performed as well at the plate in the majors, his defensive versatility still gives him some value as an organizational depth piece.

  • Jake Bauers RF | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Getting Friday off

    Bauers isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Friday's game versus the Dodgers.

    Rhys Hoskins will get the nod at first base while Bauers sits for the second game in a row Friday, opening up the DH spot for Christian Yelich while Jackson Chourio starts in left field.

  • Tigers' Mark Canha: Idle Friday

    Canha is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.

    Canha has three hits in his last 39 at-bats and will be absent from the starting nine for the second time in three games. Gio Urshela will play first base while Matt Vierling fills the hot corner.

  • Kody Clemens 1B | MIN

    Phillies' Kody Clemens: Absent from starting nine

    Clemens is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Clemens will dodge a matchup with southpaw Max Fried on Friday, giving way to Alec Bohm at first base. Clemens is batting 4-for-14 with a pair of doubles across his last four games.

  • Keston Hiura 1B | LAD

    Angels' Keston Hiura: Back in majors with Angels

    The Angels selected Hiura's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

    It's the first stint in the big leagues since 2022 for Hiura, who has slashed .270/.346/.536 with 18 home runs at the Triple-A level this season split between the Tigers and Angels organizations. He is starting at designated hitter and batting eighth Friday against the Cubs in his Angels debut.

  • Keston Hiura 1B | LAD

    Angels' Keston Hiura: Added to taxi squad

    The Angels have added Hiura to their taxi squad ahead of Friday's game versus the Cubs, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    The team is still awaiting the results of the MRI on Luis Rengifo's right wrist, and if it's bad enough to force an injured-list stint, Hiura is poised to be added to the roster. Hiura has slashed .270/.346/.536 with 18 home runs in 68 games at the Triple-A level this season split between the Tigers and Angels organizations. He has not appeared in a major-league game since 2022.

  • Ty France 1B | SD

    Mariners' Ty France: Scores twice in win

    France went 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs in a win over the Orioles on Thursday.

    France set the table nicely for teammates on the two occasions he reached safely, crossing the plate on Ryan Bliss's double-play groundout in the fifth and then scoring on J.P. Crawford's bases-clearing two-bagger in the seventh. The 29-year-old infielder has now reached safely in four straight games, but a lack of pop continues to weigh him down -- France has a sole extra-base hit (home run) over the 60 plate appearances he's logged across the 15 games he's played since returning from the injured list June 18.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Another monster performance

    Walker went 2-for-3 with two homers, three RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's win over the Dodgers while also drawing two walks.

    Walker was at it again Thursday, going back-to-back with Joc Pederson in the opening frame for the first baseman's first home run of the contest before smacking a two-run shot in his next at-bat. The 33-year-old has now clubbed two home runs in back-to-back games and has gone deep in three consecutive contests overall. Furthermore, Thursday marked his fourth straight game with multiple RBI and his fifth straight game with multiple hits. Over that latter stretch Walker's batting .650 (13-for-20) with five homers, 11 RBI and eight runs scored.
