  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Hit streak reaches 20 games

    Guerrero went 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple, a double, two total runs and four total RBI in a 7-6 win against Baltimore on Thursday.

    Guerrero knocked in a run with a double in the first inning, belted a two-run homer in the fifth and added an RBI triple in the sixth. He finished a single shy of a cycle and extended his hitting streak to 20 games in the process. The slugger has been absolutely absurd during the streak, slashing .507/.575/1.096 with 10 homers, 22 RBI, 23 runs and an 11:7 BB:K.

  • Mark Canha 1B | SF

    Giants' Mark Canha: Collects four hits, drives in two

    Canha went 4-for-6 with a double and two RBI Thursday against the Nationals.

    Canha made his biggest impact since being acquired by the Giants, driving in two and collecting his first four-hit game since 2022 while a member of the Mets. The veteran outfielder started three of the four games in Washington and has now collected seven hits in 15 at-bats since arriving from Detroit at the trade deadline.

  • Pete Alonso 1B | NYM

    Mets' Pete Alonso: Goes yard twice in win

    Alonso went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored Thursday against the Rockies.

    Alonso touched up Colorado starter Austin Gomber for both homers, capping a four-run first inning with a two-run blast, then launching a second dinger off the lefty in the third. It was Alonso's second multi-homer game of the season and his fourth game with at least three RBI. The slugging first baseman is now slashing .246/.331/.476 with 51 extra-base hits including 25 homers, 63 RBI, 67 runs and 49 walks across 493 plate appearances.

  • Ben Rice 1B | NYY

    Yankees' Ben Rice: Out versus southpaw

    Rice is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Angels.

    It's southpaw Tyler Anderson toeing the rubber for the Angels, so the left-handed hitting Rice will take a seat. DJ LeMahieu is handling first base for the Yankees.

  • Ty France 1B | CIN

    Reds' Ty France: Sitting Thursday

    France isn't in the Reds' lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.

    France will get a breather Thursday after going 6-for-26 with two homers through his first seven games as a Red. Spencer Steer will get the starting nod at first base instead while Will Benson covers left field.

  • Justin Turner 1B | SEA

    Mariners' Justin Turner: Reaches twice in return from injury

    Turner (hand) started at first base in Wednesday's loss to the Tigers and went 1-for-3 with a walk.

    The veteran infielder was able to avoid missing any games after getting plunked on his left hand in Tuesday's game. Turner snapped a brief 0-for-6 skid that had encompassed his previous two contests with Wednesday's production, and he boasts a .362 average and .913 OPS across 15 games since the All-Star break, with six of those games coming with the Mariners.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Plates three runs Wednesday

    Freeman went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.

    The Dodgers went 3-for-13 as a team with runners in scoring position, but Freeman was 2-for-2, stroking a run-scoring single in the first inning and a two-run single in the second. It was the first baseman's third game back since missing eight contests to attend to a family matter, and he hasn't shown any rust since returning, going 4-for-12 with at least one hit in each game. While Freeman's season numbers (.287/.392/.491 slash line, 16 homers, five steals) are mostly down in comparison to last year, he's at 67 RBI through 464 plate appearances, giving him a reasonable shot to reach 100 RBI for the third consecutive campaign.

  • Juan Yepez 1B | WAS

    Nationals' Juan Yepez: Productive in Wednesday's loss

    Yepez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Giants.

    The first baseman took Blake Snell deep in the third inning, briefly giving the Nationals a 3-2 lead that quickly evaporated. Yepez hasn't gone consecutive games without a hit since being added to the Nationals' roster in early July, and in 117 plate appearances over that stretch he's slashing .330/.380/.523 with 12 doubles, three homers, two steals, 16 RBI and 17 runs.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Day off Thursday

    Hoskins is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Atlanta.

    It's a routine day off for Hoskins, who picked up five hits in the first two games of the series. The Brewers will go with Jake Bauers at first base and William Contreras in the designated-hitter spot Thursday as they go for the sweep.
