  • Diamondbacks' Tristin English: Sent to Reno

    The Diamondbacks optioned English to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

    English made his MLB debut July 9, going 0-for-4 with an RBI and two strikeouts. He'll return to Reno coming out of the All-Star break, where he's slashing .336/.388/.546 with nine homers and 23 doubles over 261 plate appearances.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Rowdy Tellez: Officially promoted

    The Rangers selected Tellez's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

    With Jake Burger on the injured list with a quad injury, the Rangers will add Tellez to the active roster in order to provide some insurance at first base. The team also recalled Justin Foscue from Round Rock on Thursday, so it's possible that he and Tellez will form a platoon at first base until Burger returns.

  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Sitting Friday

    Goldschmidt is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Goldschmidt will get some extra rest coming out of the All-Star break, taking a seat for Friday's series opener. In his place, Cody Bellinger will play first base while Trent Grisham plays center field.

  • Curtis Mead 3B | CHW

    Rays' Curtis Mead: Returns to Triple-A

    The Rays optioned Mead to Triple-A Durham on Friday.

    The 24-year-old was called up July 11 when Brandon Lowe (oblique) was placed on the IL and will now return to Triple-A with Lowe being activated Friday. Mead has played 49 big-league games this season and has a .226/.318/.339 slash line in 132 plate appearances.

  • Justin Foscue 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Justin Foscue: Rejoins big-league club

    The Rangers recalled Foscue from Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

    Foscue is returning to the big-league club after the All-Star break as Michael Helman was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Foscue was sent down to Triple-A just prior to the break July 5 after not logging much playing time with the Rangers. With Jake Burger on the injured list, the Rangers could platoon Rowdy Tellez and Foscue at first base.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Rowdy Tellez: Expected to be called up

    The Rangers are expected to call up Tellez from Triple-A Round Rock, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

    He would take the roster spot vacated by Jake Burger, who landed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left quad strain. Tellez inked a minor-league contract with the Rangers earlier this month after being released by the Mariners following a stint in Seattle that saw him slash .208/.249/.434 with 11 homers. While Burger and Joc Pederson (hand) are out, Tellez will likely see regular reps against right-handed pitching between first base and designated hitter.

  • Jake Burger 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Placed on injured list

    The Rangers placed Burger on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left quadriceps strain, retroactive to July 13.

    Burger suffered a quad injury Friday that prevented him from starting the Rangers' final two games before the All-Star break. He'll now officially remain on the sidelines to begin the second half and will be eligible to return beginning July 23.

  • Giants' Bryce Eldridge: Rehabbing in rookie ball

    Eldridge (hamstring) began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Monday and has gone 2-for-6 with a walk, an RBI and a run in his first two contests.

    Eldridge started at first base in both contests and could be ready to return from Triple-A Sacramento's 7-day injured list when the affiliate opens up its post-All-Star-break schedule Friday. While the 20-year-old profiles as the Giants' first baseman of the future, he may not be in line for much more than a September call-up in 2025. Between stops at Double-A Richmond and at Sacramento prior to his rehab assignment, Eldridge slashed .263/.329/.484 with 10 home runs over 50 games.

  • Matt Mervis 1B | WAS

    Marlins' Matt Mervis: Returns from MiLB IL

    Mervis (oblique) was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

    Mervis missed just over three weeks while recovering from an oblique strain. He's been solid in five games since his return, going 5-for-16 with two home runs, three RBI, one stolen base and four runs scored.

  • Matt Olson 1B | ATL

    Braves' Matt Olson: Drives in three runs

    Olson went 2-for-5 with three RBI in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

    Olson knocked an RBI single in the third inning and drove in two more with another single in the fifth. He was stuck in a 3-for-25 (.120) slump with no RBI over his previous six games entering Sunday. Olson now has nine RBI over his last 17 games but all of those have come in three contests. He's slashing .262/.362/.468 with 61 RBI and 40 extra-base hits through 420 plate appearances this season.
