  • Nick Sogard SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Two hits in win

    Sogard started at second base and went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Monday's 9-5 win over the Royals.

    Sogard, who started three of the four games since having his contract selected from Triple-A Worcester, has hit safely in all three contests. The rookie has gone 4-for-12 with two walks, two RBI and three runs scored thus far during his brief time in the majors. As Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) nears the end of his rehab assignment, Sogard's days with the Red Sox could come to end later in the week.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Andres Gimenez: Three-hit effort in loss

    Gimenez went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and one run scored in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Surprisingly, Gimenez's two-run single in the sixth inning marked the first time he'd knocked in any runs since July 13. He's added just two runs scored over 15 contests in that span. Gimenez hasn't been a total slouch -- he's on a 10-game hitting streak, going 14-for-38 (.368) in that span, but it's been a fairly empty average with just three extra-base hits, all of which are doubles. For the season, the second baseman is at a .256/.303/.342 slash line with five home runs, 17 doubles, one triple, 47 RBI, 46 runs scored and 16 stolen bases over 104 contests.

  • Will Wagner 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Will Wagner: Scorching start with Buffalo

    Wagner has seven hits in his first three games with Triple-A Buffalo, including two doubles, one home run, and a 3:2 BB:K.

    Acquired as part of the package from the Astros for Yusei Kikuchi, Wagner is making a strong early statement to begin his time in the Blue Jays organization. With Toronto having waved the white flag at the trade deadline and looking ahead to 2025, the 26-year-old son of All-Star closer Billy Wagner figures to make his MLB debut later this season given his .342/.449/.477 slash line at Triple-A in 79 career games at the level. Wagner has played second base in all three of his games with Buffalo, but he could be used as a utility infielder in the majors.

  • Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Stacking positive results

    Baldwin went 3-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and an RBI on Sunday against the Twins.

    Baldwin slugged his first career home run Saturday and followed that up with his second multi-hit game since being recalled July 19. He's also moved up to second in the order as the White Sox attempt to find long-term pieces to their lineup, hitting in between Miguel Vargas and Luis Robert.

  • Willi Castro LF | MIN

    Twins' Willi Castro: Drives in three runs

    Castro went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

    Castro knocked an RBI double during Minnesota's six-run second inning. He later drove in two more in the eighth. He's collected multiple hits in three of his last six games, going 9-for-25 (.360) during that span. Castro is slashing .265/.351/.415 with 38 extra-base hits and 63 runs scored through 109 games.

  • Kyren Paris SS | LAA

    Angels' Kyren Paris: Shelved at Triple-A

    Triple-A Salt Lake placed Paris on its 7-day injured list July 11 with an unspecified injury.

    Paris was sent to the Angels' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate July 20, but he never appeared in any games with the club before the ACL season ended July 25. The infielder could still be conducting his rehab in Arizona, but he'll likely need to report to Single-A Inland Empire or High-A Tri-City once he's ready to get in competitive at-bats before joining back up with Salt Lake. Paris had slashed .118/.224/.216 over 58 plate appearances with the Angels earlier in the season before being demoted to Salt Lake on June 8.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Goes yard again

    Holliday went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 9-5 win over the Guardians.

    Holliday lifted his second home run of the season -- both of which have come in the last five days -- tagging Gavin Williams for a solo shot in the fifth frame. Holliday has logged multiple hits in three consecutive contests and has scored in all five games since being called up July 31.

  • Zack Gelof 2B | OAK

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Notches 13th steal

    Gelof went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

    Gelof continues to have trouble getting on base -- he has gone 2-for-24 with one walk and one hit-by-pitch over his last eight contests. He's also been caught stealing twice in that span, with his theft Sunday his first successful one since July 22. The second baseman's slump has him down to a .189/.255/.351 slash line with 13 home runs, 13 steals, 35 RBI and 38 runs scored across 89 contests. The Athletics aren't competitive this year, so they'll let their talented infielder work things out on the diamond, though the return of Darell Hernaiz could eventually cost Gelof some playing time at the keystone since Max Schuemann has played well at shortstop.

  • Cooper Bowman 2B | OAK

    Athletics' Cooper Bowman: Moves up to Triple-A

    Bowman has gone 8-for-18 with a double, five RBI, five runs, two stolen bases and a 3:2 BB:K in four games for Triple-A Las Vegas since being promoted from Double-A Midland on Wednesday.

    The 24-year-old infielder got the bump up to Triple-A after posting eye-popping numbers at Midland. Over 371 plate appearances in the Texas League, Bowman slashed .281/.378/.466 with 12 home runs and 35 stolen bases while walking at a 12.8 percent clip.

  • Angels' Michael Stefanic: Gaining playing time at 2B

    Stefanic will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Stefanic has now drawn four starts in six games since he was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake. Three of those starts have come against left-handed pitching, but he could end up getting regular work versus righties if the Angels opt to shift Brandon Drury off the keystone and have him fill in at third base while Luis Rengifo (wrist) and Anthony Rendon (back) are on the injured list. Stefanic has recorded a pair of base hits in both of his past two starts, bringing his batting average up to .275 over 40 at-bats with the big club this season.
