Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Carries offense in loss to KC
Lee went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Royals.
The 23-year-old infielder brought home Riley Greene in the second inning with a two-bagger before lofting a solo shot off Michael Wacha in the fourth, but the Tigers' offense went cold the rest of the way. Lee has started five of the last seven games while bouncing between second base and third base, and Saturday's performance extended his current hitting streak to 10 games -- a stretch in which he's batting .382 (13-for-34) with three doubles, two homers, five runs and eight RBI.

Josh H. Smith 3B | TOR
Rangers' Josh Smith: Back with big club
The Rangers recalled Smith from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
Since being optioned to Triple-A on July 9, Smith has gone 7-for-34 (.206) with two steals and one RBI. However, he'll return to the big club to fill the void on the 26-man roster left by Josh Jung, who was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left calf strain. Smith will return to major-league action immediately, as he's starting at third base and batting eighth against the Mariners on Saturday.

Giants' Luis Arraez: Three-hit effort in win
Arraez went 3-for-5 in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Angels.
This was Arraez's first multi-hit effort since the All-Star break -- he went just 3-for-20 (.150) over five road games once the schedule resumed. The infielder has been better at home this season (.844 OPS) than on the road (.784 OPS), though all four of his home runs have come away from Oracle Park. Arraez is batting .362 with an .810 OPS, 37 RBI, 48 runs scored, 22 doubles, seven triples and eight stolen bases across 97 contests overall.

Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN
Twins' Luke Keaschall: Gets aboard three times
Keaschall went 0-for-1 with two walks, one hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in Friday's 2-0 loss to the Athletics.
Keaschall got on base three times despite posting just his second hitless effort in seven games since the All-Star break. The 23-year-old has been fairly steady with the bat in July, hitting .347 (17-for-49) as he continues to find a home in right field. Overall, he's batting .260 with a .703 OPS, four home runs, 13 steals, 29 RBI, 51 runs scored, 14 doubles and one triple over 98 contests. Unfortunately for his fantasy managers, Keaschall's counting stats are nearly identical to his 49-game sample from 2025.
