  • Royals' Jonathan India: Out with sore shoulder

    Royals manager Matt Quatraro said that India is being held out of Wednesday's lineup against Atlanta due to a sore shoulder, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Quatraro added that India will be available off the bench and should be back in the lineup Friday following the team's scheduled off day Thursday. The Royals will start Adam Frazier at second base Wednesday.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Heating up at Triple-A

    Campbell is slashing .481/.548/.852 with three home runs and a 5:4 K:BB over 31 plate appearances across his last seven games with Triple-A Worcester.

    Campbell had posted a .645 OPS and 34 percent strikeout rate in his first 22 contests after being optioned to Worcester, but he appears to have found his rhythm at the plate. The 23-year-old has also been used primarily at first base lately with Worcester, and it's at that position where he has the best chance to impact the Red Sox in the final two months of the season.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Launches 11th home run

    Torres went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Torres was one of three Detroit players to go deep in the rout, launching his 11th home run of the season in the fifth inning. It's the second long ball in the last three days for the infielder, who is enjoying a strong debut campaign with the Tigers. Across 96 games, Torres is slashing .278/.379/.423 with 50 RBI and 55 runs scored.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Slated to run bases Friday

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that Gimenez (ankle) is scheduled to run the bases Friday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    If all goes well in the running workout, Gimenez could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment. He's missed most of July with a left ankle sprain but could be ready to rejoin the Blue Jays' 26-man active roster in early August if he continues to make good progress in his recovery.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Swipes bag Tuesday

    Schneemann went 2-for-5 with a double, a steal and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

    Schneemann notched only his second multi-hit game since June 26 and swiped his third bag this month after a single in the opening frame. He has a .444 on-base percentage over his last nine games, reaching base a total of 16 times, but is slashing just .221/.310/.381 with nine homers, 28 RBI, 33 runs, eight steals and a 31:68 BB:K in 278 plate appearances this season.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Beginning rehab stint Wednesday

    Moore (thumb) will kick off a minor-league rehab assignment with Single-A Inland Empire on Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Moore has been on the IL since July 3 due to a sprained left thumb. He resumed baseball activities late last week and has been playing catch, fielding grounders and swinging a bat. Moore could be back with the Angels in a matter of days, though it's unclear how the Angels will manage the infield upon his return. Luis Rengifo has been starting at second base of late and hitting well, while Yoan Moncada is the starter at third base, though he's currently sidelined by a hand injury.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Knocks 10th homer

    Sosa went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia.

    Sosa knocked a two-run shot in the ninth inning of the 6-3 loss. He's up to 10 home runs through 91 games this season, including six over his last 26 games. Tuesday's long ball snapped an 11-game homerless drought. Sosa is now slashing .274/.299/.422 for the year and has gone 21-for-72 (.292) over his last 19 games.

  • Brice Matthews SS | HOU

    Astros' Brice Matthews: Sitting out again Tuesday

    Matthews is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Nationals.

    Matthews is just 1-for-15 with nine strikeouts over his previous five games and has now been out of the lineup three times across the Astros' last five contests. Shay Whitcomb is handling second base and batting eighth Tuesday.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Idle for early game

    Holliday is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Blue Jays.

    The Orioles are going with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter Blue Jays southpaw Easton Lucas in the first game of the day, so the lefty-hitting Holliday will begin the twin bill on the bench. Jordan Westburg will draw the start at second base in Game 1, but Holliday will likely occupy the keystone in the nightcap.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Has impact off bench

    Hamilton entered as a pinch runner, stole two bases and scored a run in Monday's 5-4 loss to Minnesota.

    Hamilton pinch ran for Abraham Toro in the top of the ninth and was responsible for giving the Red Sox the lead, but Jordan Hicks was unable to close out the Twins in the bottom of the frame. Hamilton, who was recently called up from Triple-A Worcester, is up to 17 steals over 64 games. He should remain up with the team for as long as it takes Marcelo Mayer (wrist) to heal.
