  • Nate Lowe 1B | CIN

    Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe: Two hit in win

    Lowe went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Reds.

    Lowe, batting third in the order for the fifth straight game, singled in the first inning and scored on Adolis Garcia's two-run home run. The first baseman has reached base safely in all eight games since returning from a season-opening stint on the injured list due to an oblique injury. Lowe is batting .310/.375/.448 with two extra-base hits, one RBI and five runs scored.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Goes deep in loss

    Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.

    Cronenworth doubled his first time up and then would briefly put the Padres in front with a two-run shot to right off Taijuan Walker in the third. The 30-year-old has found his bat lately with seven hits and five RBI over his last five games. For the year, he's now slashing .264/.344/.453 with four homers, 19 RBI, 14 runs and a 12:19 BB:K in 122 plate appearances.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Clubs solo home run

    Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.

    Walker got things started with a solo blast off Logan Gilbert in the second inning to knot the game up at 1-1. He later doubled in the fourth but was left stranded. The 33-year-old slugger has notched at least a hit in five straight games while homering twice and racking up five RBI over that span. For the year, he's slashing .271/.383/.439 with five homers, 18 RBI, 21 runs and an 18:31 BB:K in 128 plate appearances.

  • Jose Abreu 1B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Abreu: Likely to lose playing time

    Abreu is likely to lose playing time due to the promotion of Joey Loperfido, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Abreu has had a rocky tenure with the Astros overall, and he's hitting a dreadful .099 across 77 plate appearances with a .269 OPS this season. The Astros have publicly remained hopeful that he can turn things around, though he's started only three of the team's last six games. Abreu's share of playing time is likely to only dip further, but his spot on the roster is most likely safe as he is signed through 2025 and is owed roughly $39 million for the remainder of the deal.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Breaks homer drought

    Freeman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Toronto.

    Freeman homered for the second time all season -- and hit his first long ball since March 28 -- while extending his hit streak to eight games. He's logged at least one RBI in seven of those contests (11 total) with a .444 batting average.

  • Jake Bauers RF | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Three-run homer in loss

    Bauers went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 15-5 loss to the Yankees.

    Bauers look Marcus Stroman deep for a game-tying three-run shot in the bottom of the fifth inning, knotting the game up at 4-4. He also added a double and a single in the contest, securing his second straight multi-hit performance in a game he started. Bauers is now batting .214 with two home runs, 12 RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base over 56 at-bats in 18 games this season.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Homers, collects three hits

    Mountcastle went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Athletics.

    Mountcastle had gone just 1-for-12 over his last three games but collected three hits including his fourth homer. Mountcastle's performance lifted his average to .319 with four homers and 14 RBI.

  • Anthony Rizzo 1B | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Rizzo: Remains red-hot Sunday

    Rizzo went 4-for-4 with a two-run home run, two doubles, a walk and three runs scored in Sunday's 15-5 win over the Brewers.

    Rizzo was once again spectacular Sunday, ripping a double in his first at-bat, before later adding another double, a single and a two-run homer later in the contest. The long ball was his fifth of the season, and he has now gone deep in back-to-back games and four times in his last six contests. Rizzo is batting .277 with five home runs, 15 RBI and 15 runs scored over 112 at-bats in 29 games in 2024.

  • Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Sits with hand injury

    Encarnacion-Strand was held out of Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers due to a left hand injury suffered in Saturday's 8-4 win, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    Encarnacion-Strand was struck on his left hand by a pitch Saturday. According to manager David Bell, X-rays showed Encarnacion-Strand didn't sustain a fracture, though imaging revealed evidence of a previous fracture that may be contributing to his soreness. Spencer Steer filled in at first base Sunday for Encarnacion-Strand, who could be out a "few days," per Bell.

  • Astros' Jon Singleton: Hits bench in second straight

    Singleton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies in Mexico City, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    The lefty-hitting Singleton seems to have moved into the strong side of a platoon at first base of late with the struggling Jose Abreu, though Abreu got the start in Saturday's 12-4 win against Rockies right-hander Cal Quantrill. After going 2-for-5 with two RBI in the win, Abreu will stick in the lineup Sunday against southpaw Austin Gomber. It's unclear if the Astros plan to bring Singleton back in the starting nine the next time they face off against a righty.
