  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Getting afternoon off

    Arraez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

    Arraez will get a breather for the day game after a night game, hitting the bench for the first time since June 3. Jurickson Profar will move into Arraez's usual spot atop the lineup for the series finale with Washington.

  • Jake Bauers RF | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Regaining playing time

    Bauers will start at first base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    Bauers will be included in the lineup for the second game in a row and for the third time in four games after producing three hits over his prior two starts. The 29-year-old is still getting on base at a lowly .279 clip for the season, so despite seeing his playing time trend upward of late, he's hardly locked into an everyday role for Milwaukee.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Clubs homer Tuesday

    Freeman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday in a 4-3 win against the White Sox.

    Freeman's two-run shot in the third inning tied the game at 3-3, and Shohei Ohtani's RBI single one frame later provided the decisive run. The long ball was Freeman's sixth in a superb June during which he's slashed .338/.433/.650 with 15 RBI, 19 runs, two stolen bases and a 14:12 BB:K. The veteran first baseman is tied for fourth in the league with 47 walks on the season, and his 13.7-percent walk rate is on pace for a career-best mark, excluding the abbreviated 60-game 2020 campaign.

  • Tyler Black 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Tyler Black: Out of lineup again Wednesday

    Black is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rangers.

    After starting each of the first four games upon being called up from Triple-A Nashville last Wednesday, Black has now been out of the lineup for three straight contests, with two of them coming against right-handed pitching. Jake Bauers will garner a second straight start at first base.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Swipes first bag of season

    Tellez went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Reds.

    The burly first baseman stole the fourth bag of his career, and his first since 2022, in the first inning as the Pirates grabbed an early 3-0 lead. Tellez has been enjoying his strong-side platoon role in June -- through 59 plate appearances this month, he's slashing .352/.407/.500 with five doubles, a homer, six runs and 11 RBI.

  • Triston Casas 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Triston Casas: Will begin swinging this week

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Casas (ribs) will begin swinging a bat this week, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

    Casas underwent an MRI on Tuesday and is apparently ready to take the next step. He had been lightly swinging a bat but never graduated to swinging with full force. Cora said the team will reveal more details Wednesday. Casas is targeting a return from the 60-day injured list at the start of July, which might be too ambitious.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Drives in four at Fenway

    Guerrero went 2-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and four RBI in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Red Sox.

    He did get charged with two errors, but Guerrero made up for his fielding gaffes with two-run doubles in the third and fourth innings. The first baseman is red hot, slashing .349/.364/.628 over the last 10 games with three doubles, three homers and 10 RBI.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Salvages day with late homer

    Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Astros.

    Toglia was hitless in his first three at-bats but saved his stat line in the ninth inning by taking Josh Hader yard on a solo homer. The first baseman has homered on back-to-back nights and has belted four long balls in his last 10 games, batting 10-for-39 (.256) with nine runs and nine RBI during that stretch.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Tallies three hits

    Mountcastle went 3-for-5 with a double and one run scored in Tuesday's 10-8 loss to the Guardians.

    Mountcastle has four multi-hit efforts over his last seven games, going 11-for-28 (.393) in that span. While he hasn't hit a homer since June 7, he's still been consistent at the plate while occupying a starting role at first base. The 27-year-old is slashing .281/.325/.476 with 11 homers, 39 RBI, 43 runs scored, 21 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 74 games this season.

  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Seven-game RBI streak

    Diaz went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Mariners.

    Diaz led off the bottom of the first inning with a solo home run, continuing his excellent run of recent production. He has gone deep three times in his last six starts and also has at least one RBI in seven straight games. Diaz also extended his hitting streak to 18 games, during which he's hit .358.
