  • Willi Castro 2B | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Drives in three runs

    Castro went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

    Castro knocked an RBI double during Minnesota's six-run second inning. He later drove in two more in the eighth. He's collected multiple hits in three of his last six games, going 9-for-25 (.360) during that span. Castro is slashing .265/.351/.415 with 38 extra-base hits and 63 runs scored through 109 games.

  • Kyren Paris SS | LAA

    Angels' Kyren Paris: Shelved at Triple-A

    Triple-A Salt Lake placed Paris on its 7-day injured list July 11 with an unspecified injury.

    Paris was sent to the Angels' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate July 20, but he never appeared in any games with the club before the ACL season ended July 25. The infielder could still be conducting his rehab in Arizona, but he'll likely need to report to Single-A Inland Empire or High-A Tri-City once he's ready to get in competitive at-bats before joining back up with Salt Lake. Paris had slashed .118/.224/.216 over 58 plate appearances with the Angels earlier in the season before being demoted to Salt Lake on June 8.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Swipes bag in Sunday's win

    Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a steal and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Rockies.

    Bogaerts was one of four Padres with multiple hits on the afternoon, though neither of his hits went for extra bases. He did manage to steal a bag in the seventh for his sixth stolen base of the year. Bogaerts has remained scorching hot at the plate since returning to the lineup from a fractured left shoulder July 12. In 16 games he's played since then, he's gone hitless only twice and has posted 10 multi-hit efforts. He's slashed .438/.456/.578 with a homer, seven RBI, 10 runs, two steals and a 2:7 BB:K over that span.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Keeps raking

    Marte went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an RBI groundout during Sunday's 6-5 win over Pittsburgh.

    Marte delivered a solo homer off Jake Woodford in the ninth inning, giving the Diamondbacks a much-needed insurance run. The second baseman has been on fire the last few weeks, going 29-for-74 (.392) with 10 homers, 26 RBI and 17 runs in his last 20 games. He's up to 27 home runs on the year, five shy of his career-best tally.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Goes yard again

    Holliday went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 9-5 win over the Guardians.

    Holliday lifted his second home run of the season -- both of which have come in the last five days -- tagging Gavin Williams for a solo shot in the fifth frame. Holliday has logged multiple hits in three consecutive contests and has scored in all five games since being called up July 31.

  • Luis Garcia 1B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Stays hot

    Garcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

    Garcia launched a solo home run off Tobias Myers in the first inning, giving the second baseman his second homer in as many nights. Garcia finished the three-game series against Milwaukee 8-for-12 with two home runs, five runs scored and a pair of stolen bases. He has a .783 OPS in 369 plate appearances this season.

  • Zack Gelof 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Notches 13th steal

    Gelof went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

    Gelof continues to have trouble getting on base -- he has gone 2-for-24 with one walk and one hit-by-pitch over his last eight contests. He's also been caught stealing twice in that span, with his theft Sunday his first successful one since July 22. The second baseman's slump has him down to a .189/.255/.351 slash line with 13 home runs, 13 steals, 35 RBI and 38 runs scored across 89 contests. The Athletics aren't competitive this year, so they'll let their talented infielder work things out on the diamond, though the return of Darell Hernaiz could eventually cost Gelof some playing time at the keystone since Max Schuemann has played well at shortstop.

  • Cooper Bowman 2B | CIN

    Athletics' Cooper Bowman: Moves up to Triple-A

    Bowman has gone 8-for-18 with a double, five RBI, five runs, two stolen bases and a 3:2 BB:K in four games for Triple-A Las Vegas since being promoted from Double-A Midland on Wednesday.

    The 24-year-old infielder got the bump up to Triple-A after posting eye-popping numbers at Midland. Over 371 plate appearances in the Texas League, Bowman slashed .281/.378/.466 with 12 home runs and 35 stolen bases while walking at a 12.8 percent clip.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Set to play field soon

    Manager Dave Roberts said that Edman (wrist) will play in a simulated game Thursday at Dodger Stadium before resuming his minor-league rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

    Before the Dodgers acquired him Monday, Edman had two separate rehab stints with the Cardinals while working his way back from offseason right wrist surgery. He played in four games from July 9 through 14 at Double-A Springfield before being pulled off the assignment due to a sprained ankle, but he was cleared to resume game action with Springfield on July 24. He had served exclusively as a designated hitter for Springfield in his four games with the club before being traded to the Dodgers, but Roberts said that Edman will begin playing the field during his minor-league assignment if he checks out fine following Thursday's simulated game. Before the Dodgers activate Edman from the 60-day injured list, he'll likely need several games in the minors to regain his timing at the plate and get his feet wet at multiple positions. He's projected to serve as a super-utility player when the Dodgers are at full strength, though Edman could find a regular home at third base initially while Max Muncy's (oblique) return from the IL looks to be further away.

  • Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: On bench Sunday

    Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Rodgers started the previous 22 games and will receive Sunday off after going 7-for-20 with three doubles and a home run in his past five contests. Aaron Schunk will start at the keystone and bat ninth in the series finale at San Diego.
