  • Jordan Lawlar SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Producing in minors

    Lawlar went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run and four RBI for Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

    Lawlar, who returned to the minors after a hitless eight-game stretch in the majors in May, continues to have success at Reno. He went without a hit in his first game back with the Aces but is 5-for-9 with two extra-base hits and two walks in his last two contests. The Diamondbacks currently sit fourth in the NL West and four games back of the final playoff spot. There's potential for them to be sellers at the trade deadline, and if that happens, Lawlar could return and have an everyday role. Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suarez are both free agents at the end of the season.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Goes yard in return

    Chisholm went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Guardians.

    In his first big-league game action since April 29, Chisholm broke a 1-1 tie by depositing a Tanner Bibee fastball into the short porch in right field at Yankee Stadium to lead off the bottom of the seventh inning. It was the eighth homer of the season in only 31 games for the 27-year-old infielder, and while Chisholm's .194 batting average is disappointing, it's due for positive regression -- his .210 BABIP is nearly 100 points below his career .303 mark.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Fuels victory

    Marte went 3-for-3 with two walks, two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

    Long before Corbin Carroll's three-run blast in the ninth inning put the game away, Marte's homers in his first two plate appearances set up Arizona for the win. His two-run homer in the third was the game-winning hit and moved him ahead of Steve Finley on the Diamondbacks' all-time RBI list. He now has 481 career RBI as a D-back, which ranks third in franchise history. Marte is in the midst of a blistering 15-game stretch, during which he's slashed .345/.465/.741 with seven home runs, 11 RBI, two steals and 15 runs scored.

  • Willi Castro LF | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Another two-homer game

    Castro went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Athletics.

    Castro has been locked in at the plate lately, logging multiple hits in four of the last five games. Surprisingly, two of those have been multi-homer efforts, and he's also posted a 5:4 BB:K during his recent run of success. The utility player is up to a .261/.346/.457 slash line with six homers, 12 RBI, 25 runs scored, three stolen bases and nine doubles over 40 contests. He's halfway to matching his career-best homer total (12) from last season, so it's unlikely this power-hitting stretch will last long.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Sosa is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

    Sosa started the previous 12 games and will take a seat Tuesday after batting .304 (14-for-46) with three doubles, a homer, six RBI and three runs during that stretch. Chase Meidroth will shift to the keystone while Vinny Capra receives a start at shortstop.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Grabbing seat Tuesday

    Schneemann is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    The left-handed-hitting Scheemann will take a seat as the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the bump. Will Wilson is at second base and batting seventh for the Guardians.

  • Blue Jays' Michael Stefanic: Booted from 40-man roster

    The Blue Jays designated Stefanic for assignment Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The transaction clears space on the active roster for the return of Andres Gimenez (quad). Stefanic will likely pass through waivers unclaimed.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Returns from 10-day IL

    The Blue Jays activated Gimenez (quad) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Gimenez wound up missing nearly a month of action with a right quad strain, but he's been cleared to return to action after going 2-for-12 in four rehab games. The 26-year-old is sporting just a .577 OPS in 36 contests with the Blue Jays in 2025.

  • Jorbit Vivas 2B | WAS

    Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Headed back to minors

    The Yankees optioned Vivas to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

    The Yankees opted to keep Pablo Reyes around as a utility infielder over Vivas. Vivas has produced a .522 OPS in 22 major-league contests this season.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Drawing rare start

    Gorman is starting at designated hitter and batting eighth in Tuesday's game versus the Royals.

    Playing time has been hard to come by lately for Gorman. This will be his first start in a week and only his sixth start across the Cardinals' last 20 contests.
