  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Homers, drives in four

    Lowe went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's loss to Toronto.

    Lowe put the Rays on the board with a somewhat controversial three-run shot in the third inning -- it held up on replay even though a fan was ruled to have reached over the outfield wall and interfered with the play -- and later added an RBI single in the ninth. He snapped a 13-game homerless drought, during which he posted a .503 OPS with 23 punchouts. Lowe now owns a .258/.309/.476 slash line with 29 home runs and 79 RBI through 127 games.

  • Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Placed on injured list

    The Phillies placed Sosa on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Saturday, with a right groin strain.

    The Phillies were hoping Sosa would be able to return to the starting lineup Tuesday after missing three straight games with a groin injury. Instead, he'll end up spending at least another week on the sidelines. Rafael Lantigua was promoted from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to provide infield depth.

  • Phillies' Rafael Lantigua: Called up Tuesday

    Lantigua had his contract selected from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Lantigua will join the major-league roster after batting .233 with seven home runs, 57 RBI, 82 runs scored and 17 stolen bases over 124 contests with Lehigh Valley this year. He'll replace Edmundo Sosa (groin), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, while Brewer Hicklen was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Stepping out of lineup

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

    Keaschall will hit the bench after a run of 12 straight starts, during which he batted .320 (16-for-50) with three walks, two doubles, five steals, eight RBI and seven runs. Austin Martin will shift to second base while James Outman receives a start in left field.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Sitting again Tuesday

    Edwards (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

    Tuesday will mark Edwards' third consecutive missed start since being scratched from Saturday's lineup with right wrist discomfort. While he takes another day to recover, Javier Sanoja will pick up a start at the keystone and bat ninth.

  • Leonardo Rivas SS | SEA

    Mariners' Leo Rivas: Not in Seattle lineup

    Rivas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Kansas City.

    Rivas had started the last two games and four of the last five against right-handed pitching at second base, but he'll begin Tuesday's series opener versus righty Michael Wacha on the bench. Jorge Polanco is at second base and Dominic Canzone is in the designated hitter slot for the Mariners.

  • Zack Gelof 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Absent from lineup

    Gelof is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.

    It's the second straight game that Gelof has been absent from the lineup after he had started 17 straight contests. Darell Hernaiz will cover second base for the Athletics.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | KC

    Royals' Adam Frazier: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Frazier is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Mariners.

    It's the second straight game that Frazier hasn't been in the lineup. The Royals are going with Mike Yastrzemski in left field and Jac Caglianone in right field in Tuesday's series opener.

  • Max Anderson 2B | DET

    Tigers' Max Anderson: Putting together impressive season

    Anderson is performing well in the minors this season and will play in the Arizona Fall League, where he'll focus on defense and finding a good positional fit, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    Anderson has a .296 batting average, 29 doubles, 18 home runs, 82 RBI and an .830 OPS in 115 games between Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo this season. The 23-year-old, who primarily plays second and third base, has put himself into a position to potentially make his MLB debut at some point in 2026. Anderson will use the AFL assignment to focus on further developing his defensive versatility and finding the right fit, and if he continues to rake as well, his prospect stock should rise heading into next season.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Provides lone run in loss

    Schmitt went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Schmitt was the only Giant to hit safely in this game, which included his third-inning solo shot for the team's lone run. He had gone cold over the weekend, going 0-for-10 with two walks in three games against the Dodgers. Schmitt is up to 11 homers this year while adding 37 RBI, 30 runs scored, 14 doubles and a .240/.308/.406 slash line across 86 contests. He has not attempted a stolen base in 2025.
