  • Luis Garcia 1B | NYY

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Returns from injured list

    Garcia (undisclosed) was reinstated from the 7-day minor-league injured list Tuesday, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Garcia had been out since June 25 due to an unspecified injury, but he returned to the lineup at Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday and went 0-for-3. The 21-year-old should be available for the minor-league club going forward and could return to the big-league roster at some point.

  • Jonathan Arauz 3B | LAD

    Red Sox's Jonathan Arauz: Back in action at Triple-A

    Arauz (elbow) has gone 1-for-7 in his two games since returning to the Triple-A Worcester lineup.

    Arauz missed about a week and a half of action due to a left elbow injury, but he reentered the starting nine Saturday. The 22-year-old infielder is slashing .203/.292/.326 across 161 plate appearances at Worcester this season.

  • Liover Peguero SS | PIT

    Pirates' Liover Peguero: Modest results in High-A

    Peguero is hitting .255/.326/.430 with six home runs, 11 steals, 19 RBI and 32 runs for High-A Greensboro.

    July has not been kind to the 20-year-old shortstop, who's gone just 5-for-34 with a single homer and 14 strikeouts in 40 plate appearances this month. Peguero has an intriguing combination of plus speed and roughly average pop, but his strikeout rate has spiked to 26.2 percent this season -- not ideal for a guy who's supposed to have a great feel for contact. Since he's a solid defender who should have a good chance to stick at shortstop, it's okay if Peguero's offensive game develops a little slower, but if his speed falls off as he ages, that'll limit his future fantasy value.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | KC

    Diamondbacks' Josh Rojas: On base four times

    Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double, run, walk and caught stealing in a 7-4 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday.

    Rojas got on in the first, third, fifth and ninth innings for his second game reaching base four times this season. The versatile 27-year-old is slashing .256/.337/.424 and has made appearances at five different positions in the season's first half, helping Rojas play in an impressive 87 games thus far.

  • Jorge Polanco DH | NYM

    Twins' Jorge Polanco: Crushes walkoff homer

    Polanco went 3-for-6 with a homer, five RBI and a steal in Sunday's 12-9 extra-inning win over Detroit.

    Polanco's 12th long ball of the season was a three-run, walkoff blast in the 10th inning. He also tallied his seventh steal of the year and first since June 24. The 28-year-old infielder has three homers and 12 RBI in July. For the season, Polanco is slashing .252/.318/.431.

  • Red Sox's Christian Arroyo: Records two doubles Sunday

    Arroyo went 3-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's loss against the Phillies.

    Arroyo hadn't hit a double since June 7 but delivered two in this one as part of a perfect day at the plate -- it was just his eighth multi-hit performance of the season. The infielder is hitting .264 with a .762 OPS, 11 doubles, five homers, 23 RBI and 21 runs scored on the season.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Launches walkoff homer

    Altuve went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Yankees.

    Altuve was 0-for-4 before hammering a clutch walkoff shot off Chad Green in the ninth inning. The veteran infielder has three homers and 12 RBI in nine games this month. He's slashing .278/.361/.498 with 20 homers and 55 RBI through 368 plate appearances.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Contributes three hits

    Frazier went 3-for-5 in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Mets.

    The contact-hitting second baseman supplied three singles from the top of the order, although he wasn't directly involved in any scoring plays. Frazier finished the first half with a .330/.397/.463 slash line, four home runs, 29 RBI, 53 runs scored and five stolen bases. He'll start for the National League at second base in the All-Star Game after winning the fan vote in the midst of his best major-league season.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Prevents shutout with homer

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Toronto.

    The 27-year-old ended the first half of the season on a solid power surge -- he's now homered seven times in his last nine games. Lowe is up to 21 long balls, 48 RBI, 47 runs scored and four stolen bases, but his slash line sits at .208/.316/.465 through 335 plate appearances.

  • Blue Jays' Santiago Espinal: Three hits in win

    Espinal went 3-for-4 with an RBI single in Sunday's 3-1 win over Tampa Bay.

    Sunday was the infielder's third three-hit effort in 50 games this year. Espinal has seen more of a utility role lately, but he's 8-for-16 with a home run, four RBI and three runs scored through seven games in July. Overall, the 26-year-old is slashing .321/.367/.420 through 120 plate appearances.
