  • Levi Jordan 2B | CIN

    Reds' Levi Jordan: Sent back to minors

    The Reds optioned Jordan to Triple-A Louisville, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Jordan received two starts and 11 plate appearances during his brief time in the majors, picking up one hit. He's being replaced on the roster by Blake Dunn.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: On verge of rehab assignment

    Bogaerts (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment within the next day or two, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union Tribune reports.

    Bogaerts had a CT scan of his left shoulder Monday, the results of which indicated that he is ready to resume playing. Acee indicates that the infielder will likely head out on a rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso in the coming days, and team officials have previously suggested that a rehab stint would last 7 to 10 days. Though manager Mike Shildt recently said that there is no timeline for Bogaerts' activation from the injured list, if all goes well moving forward, he could rejoin the Padres for their home series against Atlanta that begins July 12.

  • Adael Amador SS | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: Activated, optioned to Double-A

    The Rockies reinstated Amador (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and optioned him to Double-A Hartford.

    Amador has been playing in rehab games with Hartford while working his way back from a right oblique strain, and he will remain with the Yard Goats now that he's made a full recovery. The 21-year-old went just 6-for-35 (.171) during his first career stint in the majors, and with a .659 OPS through 213 Double-A plate appearances, he clearly still needs more time to develop before he's ready for a more permanent role on the Rockies.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Hits grand slam in win

    Gorman went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in a 7-4 win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

    Gorman hit a grand slam in the fourth inning and added a single in the sixth. He was mired in a 2-for-29 slump but opened July with his first home run since June 19 and first multi-hit effort since June 4. On the season, the second baseman owns a disappointing .192 average but is currently tied with Ketel Marte for tops at the position with 17 home runs.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Idle Tuesday

    Garcia is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    With the Nationals facing a left-handed pitcher for a second straight game, Garcia will yield to Ildemaro Vargas at second base once again. Garcia owns a .677 OPS with seven home runs and 11 stolen bases this season.

  • Mets' Jose Iglesias: Launches first homer

    Iglesias went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's extra-inning win over the Nationals.

    Getting the start at second base against southpaw MacKenzie Gore and batting eighth, Iglesias didn't make his mark until the 10th inning, when he drove the first pitch Jordan Weems threw over the center-field fence to wrap up a six-run frame for the Mets. While his first homer of the season came against a right-hander pitcher, Iglesias has thrived in his short-side platoon role, producing a 1.147 OPS in 29 plate appearances against lefties since joining New York's big-league roster.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Sitting against southpaw

    Garcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

    With southpaw David Peterson on the bump for the Mets, the lefty-hitting Garcia will head to the bench in the series opener. Ildemaro Vargas will fill in for Garcia at the keystone.

  • Adael Amador SS | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: Ready for rehab assignment

    Amador (oblique) was sent to Double-A Hartford on Sunday to begin a rehab assignment.

    Amador has been on the 10-day injured list for a little over a week with a strained oblique but has been cleared to return to game action. He should be ready to be activated soon, but with Brendan Rodgers beating him back from the IL, Amador is likely to remain with Hartford upon his activation rather than returning to the Rockies.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Closing in on obscure record

    India went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 2-0 loss to St. Louis.

    India ripped a third-inning double, the eighth consecutive game with a two-bagger for the second baseman. That's a franchise record and one off the MLB record of nine, set by Toronto's Bo Bichette in 2019. The double also extended a hit streak to 12 games, during which India is batting .489 (22-for-45) with 12 doubles, a home run, six RBI, two steals and 10 additional runs scored.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Provides offense Sunday

    Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Brewers.

    Hoerner led off the contest with a solo home run, his fourth long ball of the season and second in the last four games. However, he didn't do anything else the rest of the afternoon, while the team as a whole mustered only one additional hit. Still, Hoerner managed to extend his hitting streak to eight games, and he's batting .344 during that stretch. The infielder should remain a viable fantasy option from the top of the order so long as he stays locked in at the plate.
