  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Officially called up

    Fitzgerald was called up from Triple-A Sacramento prior to Monday's series opener with the Diamondbacks, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Fitzgerald will officially return to the major-league roster after being sent down June 23. The 27-year-old will look to improve upon the .230/.289/.320 slash line he posted over 178 at-bats in 57 games with the Giants so far this season. Fitzgerald will replace Casey Schmitt (wrist) with the big-league club after Schmitt was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.

  • Jack Winkler SS | HOU

    Marlins' Jack Winkler: Will be optioned to Triple-A

    The Marlins will option Winkler to Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Tuesday's game against the Twins, Fish on First reports.

    A corresponding move will be announced prior to Tuesday's series opener. Winkler has been with the big club for a month but made just four starts, going 1-for-11 at the plate.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Joins team in Arizona

    Fitzgerald could be recalled from Triple-A Sacramento prior to Monday's contest in Arizona, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Fitzgerald has a locker at Chase Field and appears set to take the roster spot of the injured Casey Schmitt (wrist). The 27-year-old has slashed just .230/.289/.320 for the Giants this season and has gone 4-for-13 at the plate since being demoted to Sacramento. Fitzgerald could see reps at second base for the Giants upon his recall.

  • Padres' Jose Iglesias: Heading to bench Monday

    Iglesias is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

    With starts in five of the previous six games, Iglesias has gained some stability in the San Diego lineup of late, but he's still not quite locked in as an everyday player. After posting a surprising .829 OPS with the Mets in 2024 -- his highest mark in any season of his career aside from the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign -- Iglesias has taken a big step back at the plate with San Diego this season, slashing just .226/.294/.258 with no home runs over 179 plate appearances. He'll need to improve his production to boost his case for earning steady playing time over the balance of the season.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Idle against righty

    Frazier is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    The left-handed-hitting Frazier had batted out of the leadoff spot in both of the Pirates' previous two matchups with righties, but he'll be left out of the lineup entirely Monday while St. Louis sends right-hander Erick Fedde to the hill. Tommy Pham will take over Frazier's spot in left field, while Spencer Horwitz tops the batting order for Pittsburgh.

  • Giants' Christian Koss: Multi-hit effort in loss

    Koss went 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored, a stolen base and a walk in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the White Sox.

    The 27-year-old made his sixth straight start Sunday, including his fourth straight at third base due to Casey Schmitt (wrist) being sidelined. Koss drew a walk in the second inning and subsequently stole second before coming around to score the Giants' first run. He also lined a double to left field in the fourth and added a single in the eighth. The infielder has recorded two hits in each of his last four games, slashing .533/.563/.667 with three runs scored, two doubles and a stolen base across 16 plate appearances during that span.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Smacks seventh homer

    Gorman went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer, a stolen base and a second run scored in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Guardians.

    Gorman got the scoring started early, launching a 428-foot homer with two outs in the first inning off lefty Logan Allen. The 25-year-old Gorman has taken advantage of a regular starting role since Ivan Herrera (hamstring) landed on the IL, going 8-for-27 (.296) with three homers, seven RBI and a .951 OPS in his last seven games. Overall, Gorman's slashing .224/.314/.412 with seven homers, 25 runs scored and 25 RBI across 191 plate appearances this season.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Homers again Sunday

    Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins.

    Marte is up to 17 homers on the year, including five over his last nine games. Despite going hitless three times, Marte is 14-for-37 (.378) in that span as he continues to provide excellent hitting from the No. 2 spot in the order. The second baseman has a .305/.405/.600 slash line with 37 RBI, 48 runs scored, two stolen bases and 11 doubles over 57 contests this season.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Three base knocks and steal in win

    Estrada went 3-for-5 with a steal and one RBI in Sunday's 4-3 extra-innings win at Milwaukee.

    The Colorado second baseman notched his second three-hit performance of the weekend when he laced a clutch RBI single in the 10th to give his team a 3-2 lead. After collecting the hit, Estrada picked up his first steal of the season when he swiped second off Brewers closer Trevor Megill. Estrada is now slashing .292/.323/.393 with a homer, 13 RBI and six runs scored across 96 total plate appearances.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Injures finger in win

    Rojas was removed in the eighth inning of Sunday's 5-1 win over the Royals due to an injury to his left ring finger, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Rojas appeared to jam his finger during an unsuccessful steal attempt of second base in the seventh inning. He initially stayed in the game but was eventually lifted for Hyeseong Kim. The Dodgers should provide an update on Rojas' injury once he undergoes further tests. He went 2-for-2 with a walk and an RBI single before leaving Sunday's game.
