  • Zach Remillard 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Zach Remillard: Takes seat Sunday

    Remillard isn't in the White Sox's lineup Sunday against Atlanta, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Remillard is just 1-for-7 with three strikeouts since the All-Star break and will receive a day off for Sunday's series finale. Instead, Elvis Andrus will get the nod at second base and bat eighth.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Marlins' Luis Arraez: Four more hits Saturday

    Arraez went 4-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.

    The dream of a .400 season could be starting to fade for the 26-year-old, as he was batting "only" .297 (11-for-37) through 10 games in July coming into Saturday, but Arraez's bat roared back to life in this one. It's the sixth time in 88 games this year he's collected four or more hits, and while his .386 batting average on the season remains extraordinary, it comes with only three homers, one steal, 40 runs and 43 RBI.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Out of lineup Sunday

    Westburg isn't starting Sunday against the Marlins.

    Westburg is 0-for-8 with four strikeouts since returning from the All-Star break, so he'll get a breather Sunday to regroup. Ramon Urias will start at third base and bat sixth while Westburg sits, and Adam Frazier will man second.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Swipes 17th bag

    Kim went 3-for-8 with two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

    The Padres got swept in the twin bill, but it was no fault of Kim's as he reached base three times while hitting leadoff in both contests. The 27-year-old extended his on-base streak to 12 games, a stretch in which he's slashing .302/.404/.488 with two of his 10 homers and four of his 17 steals on the season.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Drives in five Saturday

    Donovan went 2-for-8 with a home run, a triple, five RBI and two runs scored across both halves of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Nationals.

    Donovan supplied a game-tying homer after play resumed from Friday's suspended contest. In the nightcap, he added a two-run triple in the second inning. The versatile 26-year-old has been hampered by an arm injury lately, which has limited him to designated hitter, but his bat has been too good to come out of the lineup. He's gone 12-for-33 (.364) over nine contests since he was cleared to return as the DH. Donovan is slashing .282/.367/.411 with nine home runs, 29 RBI, 38 runs scored and four stolen bases through 83 games this season.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Racks up three hits Saturday

    Dubon went 3-for-6 with one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 13-12 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

    Dubon has gone 4-for-11 with three RBI and three runs scored over two games to begin the second half. The 28-year-old continues to see a starting role at second base with Jose Altuve (oblique) out of action, but manager Dusty Baker may have to find a spot for Dubon if he stays hot once Altuve returns. Dubon owns a .282/.305/.396 slash line with four home runs, 24 RBI, 49 runs scored and six stolen bases through 311 plate appearances, though his 3.2 percent walk rate doesn't exactly stand out for the profile of a regular leadoff hitter.

  • Luis Rengifo 2B | MIL

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Homers in Saturday's win

    Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 13-12 extra-inning win over the Astros.

    Rengifo opened the scoring in the second inning with the first of the Angels' four homers. The versatile 26-year-old began to lose some playing time ahead of the All-Star break, but he's made starts at second base and third base to open the second half. He should continue to move around defensively while hitting in the bottom half of the lineup. Rengifo owns a .217/.308/.335 slash line with six homers, 25 RBI, 31 runs scored and five stolen bases through 253 plate appearances.

  • Angels' Brandon Drury: Hitting off tee

    Drury (shoulder) will hit off a tee Saturday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    It's the first time he's done any hitting since he landed on the injured list at the beginning of July with left shoulder inflammation. Drury is hopeful he can return to the Angels' lineup in a few days but acknowledged he'll probably have to play through some discomfort.

  • Jorge Polanco 2B | NYM

    Twins' Jorge Polanco: Rehab begins Sunday

    Polanco (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Sunday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Polanco debuted back in 2014 and made it through the end of 2021 without ever hitting the injured list, but he went there twice last season and three times so far this year, including twice with a strained left hamstring. His latest injury has kept him out for over a month, but it doesn't look as though he'll miss too much more time.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Hits bench for night game

    Lowe will sit for the second half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals.

    Lowe led off in the afternoon contest, going 1-for-3 with a pair of walks and a run scored. Taylor Walls will slide to second base for the nightcap, with Isaac Paredes taking Walls' spot at the hot corner.
