  • Cesar Prieto SS | STL

    Cardinals' Cesar Prieto: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Cardinals optioned Prieto to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

    Prieto went 1-for-6 with five strikeouts during his first cup of coffee in the majors. He could get another opportunity before the end of this month but will head back to Memphis for now.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Resting against southpaw

    Turang isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Philadelphia.

    Turang doesn't typically bow out of the lineup whenever the Brewers face a lefty, but the team will use Thursday's matchup against Ranger Suarez as an opportunity to get the white-hot Turang a day to rest. Andruw Monasterio will fill in at the keystone and bat seventh.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Swipes two bags in win

    Garcia went 1-for-4 with a run scored, two RBI and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Marlins.

    The 25-year-old swiped multiple bags in the same game for the first time since May 1, giving him 13 steals on the season in 18 attempts. Garcia hasn't been able to repeat his 2024 numbers, but he's reached double-digit home runs and stolen bases for the second straight year. Over his last 11 contests, he's batting .286 (10-for-35) with two doubles, two homers, three steals, five runs and six RBI.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Continues revival in second half

    Albies went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 5-1 win over the Cubs on Wednesday.

    Albies ended Chicago's no-hit bid with a seventh-inning single, and he also launched his 15th homer of the campaign. While the second baseman has been a fantasy bust overall -- he has a .675 OPS in 2025 -- he's now tallied multiple hits in seven of his last nine outings amid his surge in the second half of the year. Since the All-Star break, Albies is slashing .283/.346/.474 with eight long balls, nine doubles, 34 RBI and five stolen bases over 191 plate appearances.

  • Willi Castro LF | COL

    Cubs' Willi Castro: Swipes base, collects RBI in loss

    Castro went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Atlanta.

    Castro had one of just four Chicago hits and drove in the Cubs' only run in the bottom of the second inning. The utility player also recorded his 10th stolen base of the year in 13 attempts. It's the second straight season that Castro has reached double figures in both steals and home runs. That gives the 28-year-old some fantasy appeal when he's in the lineup, though he has struggled since coming over to Chicago at the trade deadline, posting a .159 batting average and .410 OPS in 21 games with his new team.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Taking seat against southpaw

    Stott is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    The left-handed-hitting Stott will retreat to the bench Wednesday while the Brewers send southpaw Jose Quintana to the hill. Edmundo Sosa will replace Stott at second base and will bat eighth.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Sitting after three straight starts

    Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    After manning the keystone in each of the last three contests, Rojas will give way to Alex Freeland at second base Wednesday. Though Hyeseong Kim has yet to make a start in either of the Dodgers' two games since he was activated from the injured list Monday, his presence provides a potential roadblock to Rojas handling a full-time role in the Los Angeles infield.

  • Hye Seong Kim 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Not starting again Wednesday

    Kim is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

    After being reinstated from the injured list Monday, Kim has now been left out of the starting nine for the first two games of the Dodgers' series in Pittsburgh, with both of the left-handed-hitting rookie's absences coming against right-handed starters. The Dodgers will instead go with Alex Call in left field, Alex Freeland at second base and Enrique Hernandez at third base Wednesday.

  • Jordan Lawlar SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Taking seat Wednesday

    Lawlar is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rangers.

    Lawlar snapped a 0-for-36 hitless streak at the major-league level with a couple base knocks in Tuesday's win over the Rangers, but he finds himself absent from the lineup a day later. Blaze Alexander will occupy third base and bat sixth for the Diamondbacks.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Cracks 10th home run in win

    Schmitt (elbow) went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies.

    The 26-year-old infielder wasn't in the starting lineup Tuesday after being hit by a pitch Monday and sustaining an elbow injury, though his X-rays came back negative. However, after Matt Chapman and Willy Adames were ejected following a scuffle in the first inning, Schmitt stepped in at second base. He lined a solo shot to left-center field in the fifth inning and added a single in the ninth. With that, he recorded his fifth multi-hit performance over 26 games since Aug. 1, slashing .240/.305/.458 with 15 RBI, 11 runs scored, six doubles and five long balls across 105 plate appearances during that span.
