  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Stays hot with 15th homer

    Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Orioles.

    He took Zach Eflin deep in the third inning to tie things up at 3-3, but Baltimore pulled away after that. Guerrero has hit safely in 10 straight games, slashing .463/.532/.780 over that span with three of his 15 homers on the season, as well as four doubles, 10 RBI and 12 runs.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Mariners' Josh Naylor: Goes deep for first time as Mariner

    Naylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in a 3-1 victory versus the Athletics on Monday.

    Naylor got the scoring started in the contest, belting a 405-foot solo blast in the second inning. The long ball was his first since making his Mariners debut July 27 as well as his first overall since July 7 (a span of 15 games). Naylor also continued to run wild Monday -- he swiped his fourth bag in his past three contests and has already blown past his previous career-high mark with 15 thefts on 17 attempts this season.

  • Luis Arraez 1B | SD

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Clubs rare homer

    Arraez went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 7-6 win against the Mets on Monday.

    Arraez struck a ball off the right-field foul pole in the fifth inning for San Diego's lone long ball of the game. It was just the sixth homer this season for the contact-focused hitter, whose career high is 10 home runs set over 147 regular-season games with Miami in 2023. Arraez's two knocks Monday extended his hitting streak to 11 games, a span in which he's batting .391 (18-for-46) with just one strikeout.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Homer, three hits in win

    Mayo went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 11-4 win over the Blue Jays.

    Mayo recorded the first three-hit effort of his career, highlighted by a 413-foot solo blast in the second inning. He's impressed since the All-Star break, going 7-for-17 with two homers, five RBI and five runs scored over seven games. The 23-year-old is slashing .240/.318/.406 with three long balls, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and one steal across 107 plate appearances, and his role moving forward may hinge on what the Orioles decide to do at this week's trade deadline.

  • Michael Busch 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Michael Busch: Reaches three times in loss

    Busch went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's 8-4 loss to the Brewers.

    As has become the norm recently against opposite-handed pitching, Busch batted leadoff with Milwaukee starting rookie righty Jacob Misiorowski. Busch has been tremendous in those matchups with a .958 OPS, 18 home runs and 56 RBI, while he frequently sits against southpaws. Even in this platoon arrangement, the 27-year-old has been able to be an impactful fantasy performer all season.

  • Pirates' Endy Rodriguez: Taking part in light activity

    Rodriguez (elbow) has been conducting his rehab at the Pirates' facility in Florida and has been able to take part in low-level strengthening and range-of-motion exercises, MLB.com reports.

    Though Rodriguez isn't shut down from activity entirely since landing on the injured list June 7 after experiencing inflammation in his surgically repaired right elbow, he has yet to be cleared for baseball-specific workouts and thus appears to be a long way off from being activated. Rodriguez's surgeon, Dr. Neal ElAttrache, has recommended that the Pirates take a slow approach with the 25-year-old, who is less than two years removed from his elbow operation.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Collects two more hits Monday

    Torkelson went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Torkelson has collected a hit in eight of his 11 games following the All-Star break, and he's tallied three multi-hit performances during the stretch. The slugger is now batting a solid .274 this month with six home runs and 13 RBI across 23 contests. Torkelson is showing some consistency during a bounceback campaign after he struggled to find his footing last year. His OPS is up from .669 during the 2024 regular season to .825 so far in 2025.

  • Nick Kurtz 1B | ATH

    Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Back in lineup Monday

    Kurtz (lower body) is starting at first base and batting second against the Mariners on Monday.

    Kurtz was held out of Sunday's series finale against the Astros while managing some lower-body fatigue. The 22-year-old first baseman has put it together at the plate and is in the midst of a 13-game hitting streak, highlighted by his 6-for-6 performance with four home runs, eight RBI and six runs against Houston on Friday.

  • Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Still not doing baseball activities

    Hernandez (elbow) has yet to resume baseball activities, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    The Dodgers remain optimistic that Hernandez will return from his left elbow inflammation before the end of the season, but it appears it will not happen anytime soon. Hernandez has been sidelined since early July.

  • Diamondbacks' Tristin English: Records first MLB hit

    English went 1-for-3 with a double in Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Pirates.

    English logged his first hit in the majors when he laced a third-inning double off Pittsburgh right-hander Paul Skenes. English has started at first base in all three games since the Diamondbacks traded Josh Naylor last Thursday.
