  • Gavin Lux SS | TB

    Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Remains hot Sunday

    Lux went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles against St. Louis in Sunday's 2-1 victory.

    Lux notched two of the Dodgers' three extra-base hits in the win and recorded his third multi-hit performance over his past four games. The second baseman struggled early in the season, but since the All-Star break he's blossomed with a .367/.431/.644 slash line, five homers, 10 doubles, 19 RBI, 14 runs and a steal through 28 games. There was a point during Mookie Betts' recent absence that the Dodgers considered moving Betts to second base upon his return, but the team has since returned the All-Star to right field, leaving Lux in an everyday role in the middle infield.

  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Called up by Miami

    The Marlins recalled Norby from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

    Norby was surprisingly sent to Jacksonville after the Marlins acquired him at the trade deadline from the Orioles, but he's now joined the big club and should be set for an everyday role. The 24-year-old had mostly played third base at Jacksonville of late and that's likely where he'll see the bulk of his starts with the Marlins for now, although he's capable of handling second base and the corner outfield spots, as well.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Three hits in Sunday's win

    Keith went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Yankees.

    Keith notched his seventh game with at least three hits this season and now has six games in August with multiple hits. His lone extra-base knock of the night came off Clay Holmes in the ninth and Keith wound up coming around to score to send the game to extras. Keith hasn't been able to replicate the power numbers he displayed in the minors, as he hasn't hit a home run since July 27, but has maintained a patient eye at the dish and ranks third among all qualified rookies with a 17.6 strikeout percentage. For the year, the 22-year-old is slashing .256/.308/.386 with 11 homers, 44 RBI, 44 runs, six steals and a 28:75 BB:K in 425 plate appearances.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Three hits in win

    Massey went 3-for-4 in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Reds.

    Massey didn't get directly involved in any of the run production, but he put in a solid game. This was his fourth multi-hit effort over his last nine games, a span in which he's gone 12-for-35 (.343) with four extra-base hits. The second baseman is up to a .266/.289/.468 slash line with 10 home runs, 35 RBI, 34 runs scored, 11 doubles, two triples and no stolen bases through 64 games this year. Massey hasn't been a full-time player even against right-handed pitchers, as lefty Adam Frazier and righty Maikel Garcia continue to get looks at the keystone.

  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Likely returning to majors

    The Marlins are expected to recall Norby from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

    Norby was acquired by the Marlins at the trade deadline and has since slashed .263/.300/.368 with Triple-A Jacksonville across 13 games. Though he's seen the majority of his starts at second base during his time in the minors this season and during his brief stint with the Orioles earlier in 2024, Norby has made his last three starts with Jacksonville at third base. He could step in as the everyday option at the hot corner, which would allow fellow rookie Otto Lopez to continue getting regular playing time at second base.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Three hits in extra-inning win

    Semien went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Twins.

    Semien has gone 10-for-34 (.294) during a seven-game hitting streak since he returned to the leadoff spot. This was his second multi-hit effort in that span, and he's added four RBI and five runs scored. The second baseman has had a bit of a challenging year, posting a .245/.314/.406 slash line with 18 home runs, 61 RBI, 78 runs scored and three stolen bases over 123 contests, but he's never looked at risk of losing his starting job.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Promoted again

    The Red Sox promoted Campbell from Double-A Portland to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Campbell will get his second promotion of the season after opening the campaign at High-A Greenville. The 22-year-old infielder was impressive during his time at Portland, maintaining a 197 wRC+ and .470 wOBA across 251 plate appearances. He's combined to hit 16 home runs and steal 20 bases over 95 games between Portland and Greenville this season.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Set to be activated

    Edman (wrist) will be activated from the injured list Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Edman has been sidelined for the entire season while recovering from wrist surgery and an ankle sprain. He most recently began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Aug. 10 and has gone 5-for-17 with six walks and only two strikeouts. Edman looks likely to get the majority of his playing time in center field, though he is capable of playing a super-utility role.

  • Amed Rosario SS | NYY

    Reds' Amed Rosario: Claimed by Cincinnati

    The Reds claimed Rosario off waivers Sunday.

    The 29-year-old was designated for assignment Monday by the Dodgers to make room on the roster for Mookie Betts' return from the injured list, and Rosario will now make his way to Cincinnati. Rosario has a .305/.331/.415 slash line with two homers and 10 stolen bases in 81 games between Tampa Bay and Los Angeles this season.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Tweaks ankle off bench

    Marte was removed from Sunday's game against the Rays after he appeared to aggravate his left ankle sprain during a pinch-hit appearance, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    The 30-year-old returned to the lineup Saturday as the designated hitter after he sat out the previous three games due to an ankle sprain, but he quickly aggravated the injury after coming off the bench late in Sunday's contest. The severity of the injury this time around is unclear, but Marte needed to be helped off the field and could require a trip to the injured list.
