  • Jose Abreu 1B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Abreu: Back in big leagues

    The Astros recalled Abreu from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    The Astros sent Abreu to the minors in late April following a disastrous .099/.156/.113 start to the season with the hope that he could rediscover his swing. He went 7-for-22 with two doubles, one home run and three RBI across five games with the Florida Complex League Astros before going hitless in two games with Sugar Land. The 37-year-old Abreu is starting at first base and batting eighth for Houston in Monday's game in Seattle.

  • LaMonte Wade 1B | CHW

    Giants' LaMonte Wade: Returns to action Monday

    Wade (hamstring) will start at first base and bat second in Monday's game versus the Phillies.

    Wade had to exit a game this past Friday after tweaking his hamstring, causing him to miss the next two contests. He's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one, though, as the Giants take on right-hander Taijuan Walker and the Phillies.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Expected to hit on field Monday

    Hoskins (hamstring) plans to advance to hitting on the field Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Hoskins will clear a significant hurdle in his recovery from a right hamstring strain, as Monday's activity will mark his first time hitting on the field since he landed on the injured list. While there is still no set timetable for his return to action, it sounds like Hoskins isn't too far off from a rehab assignment. "I feel as good as I can," Hoskins said.

  • Ty France 1B | SD

    Mariners' Ty France: Knocks in three Sunday

    France went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a two-run home run in a win over the Nationals on Sunday.

    France knocked a 392-foot shot to left field with Mitch Garver aboard in the fourth inning to extend the Mariners' lead to 4-0 at the time, and he added an RBI single in the eighth that plated Julio Rodriguez. France has now reached safely in eight consecutive starts, but his current .243/.301/.384 slash line is still below the standards he set over his first three seasons in Seattle.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ARI

    Twins' Carlos Santana: Sitting against another righty

    Santana is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

    Santana will hit the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Alec Marsh) for the third time in five games. The downturn in opportunities comes while Santana has fallen into a 5-for-33 skid at the plate (.152 average) over his last 10 starts, bringing his slash line down to .201/.282/.361 over 188 plate appearances on the season. The Minnesota infield will become more crowded when Royce Lewis (quadricep) returns from the 10-day injured list, potentially as soon as later this week, so Santana could be on the way out of the everyday lineup, if he hasn't lost his spot already.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Powers team with two homers

    Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

    Goldschmidt opened up the scoring with a 424-foot two-run shot off Javier Assad in the third. He then followed up with another two-run blast in the fifth to put the Cardinals up 4-0, which was enough for them to hold onto the win. In 12 games since May 12, the 36-year-old is slashing .308/.357/.596 with four home runs, 10 RBI and nine runs scored. Sunday also marked his first multi-homer game since May 23, 2023. Despite his strong form of late, Goldschmidt is still underdelivering for fantasy managers on the whole this season, slashing .222/.298/.345 with six home runs, 21 RBI, 25 runs and three stolen bases across 215 plate appearances.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | CIN

    Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe: Drives in two in win

    Lowe went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 6-2 win over Minnesota.

    Lowe had a pair of run-producing singles, his first multi-hit game since May 8. The first baseman entered Sunday with just six hits over the last 49 at-bats (.122). That slump prompted manager Bruce Bochy to drop Lowe to sixth in order against right-handers this past week.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Falls triple short of cycle

    Olson went 3-for-5 with a home run, double, three RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Pirates.

    Olson's eighth-inning blast off Aroldis Chapman was a no-doubter over the right field wall, clearing the stadium and splashing down in the Allegheny River. Olson had previously added a two-run double and finished the game just a triple short of the cycle. Over his last 13 games, Olson has six multi-hit efforts, batting .308 with four homers, two doubles, 11 RBI and six runs scored in that span.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Four hits Sunday

    Guerrero went 4-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 14-11 defeat to the Tigers.

    Guerrero stayed hot Sunday, recording his fifth multi-hit game over his last 10 contests. During that span, Guerrero is batting a torrid .410 with six RBI and seven runs scored. The 25-year-old has recovered from his slow start to the season as his average now sits above .300 on the year.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Homers in three-hit game

    Torkelson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 14-11 victory over Toronto.

    Torkelson entered this game in an 0-for-19 slump but broke out in a big way, registering his first three-hit game since April 19. The 24-year-old took Blue Jays starter Yusei Kikuchi deep in the fourth inning, his fourth home run over his past 13 games. On the season, the 2020 No. 1 draft pick is batting .218 with four home runs, 18 RBI and 24 runs scored in 50 games played.
