  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Launches 11th homer

    Stott went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 13-2 rout of the Twins.

    The infielder clubbed his 11th homer of the year in the sixth inning off Brent Headrick. Stott is enjoying a strong start to August, batting .297 (11-for-37) with four doubles, two home runs, three steals, nine runs and nine RBI in 10 games as part of a resurgent Phillies offense.

  • Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: One hit in return

    Rodgers (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Dodgers.

    Rodgers' fourth-inning single forced an error from the Dodgers' defense, allowing the Rockies' lone run to score. After missing four months of the season with a shoulder injury, he sat out another three games this week with a minor hamstring issue. The second baseman is batting a mediocre .214 with two RBI and a 1:9 BB:K over seven contests this season. If his bat doesn't heat up, he may lose work to some combination of Harold Castro and Alan Trejo.

  • Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Returns to lineup Friday

    Rodgers (hamstring) is in the designated hitter spot and batting cleanup in his return to the lineup Friday versus the Dodgers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    Rodgers missed the previous three contests with a tight right hamstring, but he's feeling well enough to at least bat. When he'll be ready to return to second base isn't clear. Rodgers enters play Friday having gone 5-for-24 with two RBI in six games this season following a four-month absence due to shoulder surgery.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    White Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Undergoes shoulder surgery

    Gonzalez underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder in mid-July, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    This news was just revealed by the White Sox on Friday, and it helps to explain why Gonzalez was transferred to the 60-day IL just before the All-Star break. The 26-year-old right-hander is aiming to be ready for the start of spring training in 2024.

  • Sam Haggerty LF | TEX

    Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Recalled from Triple-A

    Haggerty was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

    With J.P. Crawford heading to the 7-day injured list, Haggerty will take his roster spot. The 29-year-old will make his first appearance in the majors since being optioned June 6. Prior to that, the utility player had been with the Mariners the whole season, but was hitting below the Mendoza Line. Triple-A has been a different story, where he has slashed .325/.411/.590 with eight home runs in 42 games.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Shut down for two weeks

    India (foot) will receive a second opinion on his left foot and has been shut down from running for at least two weeks, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    India has reportedly been feeling pain while running, so the Reds will pause his rehab until late August, meaning his return to the lineup will have to wait until September. The 26-year-old second baseman was slashing .251/.336/.409 across 453 plate appearances prior to getting injured in late July.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Red Sox's Luis Urias: On bench Friday

    Urias is out of the lineup Friday versus the Tigers.

    Pablo Reyes will start at second base and bat seventh. Urias recorded at least one hit in each of his first three games with the Red Sox but has since gone 0-for-8 with one walk and four strikeouts.

  • Tony Kemp 2B | MIN

    Athletics' Tony Kemp: Goes on paternity leave

    Kemp was placed on the paternity leave list Friday.

    Kemp figures to be away all weekend before rejoining the Athletics early next week in St. Louis. Lawrence Butler is taking Kemp's spot on the active roster.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Guardians' Andres Gimenez: Notches steal Thursday

    Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Gimenez is hitting .250 with a home run and two steals over nine games in August. The second baseman is up to 19 thefts this season, one shy of matching his career high from last year, but he's also slashing a middling .235/.310/.381 with 10 homers, 42 RBI, 50 runs scored, 20 doubles and four triples over 111 contests. On the bright side, he's regularly hit second since Amed Rosario was dealt to the Dodgers.

  • Liover Peguero SS | PIT

    Pirates' Liover Peguero: Two hits, stolen base in win

    Peguero went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one steal in Thursday's victory over Atlanta.

    Peguero drove in the game-tying run in the bottom of the sixth with a single before stealing second base. The shortstop then tacked on an extra insurance run to put the Pirates up 7-4 in the seventh, giving him his second two-hit performance in his last three games. He's also hit safely in three straight, driving in three runs over that stretch.
