  • Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Scores three times in win

    Alexander went 2-for-3 with an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Cardinals.

    Alexander singled and scored in his first two plate appearances and then crossed the plate again after reaching on an error. He's hit safely in four straight contests and has an RBI in three consecutive games. Alexander's started both games following the All-Star break, filling in at second base for Ketel Marte, who was on the restricted list while dealing with a personal issue at home. Marte is expected to return Sunday, which likely means Alexander will get bumped to the bench.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Logs 10th steal

    Moore went 0-for-1 with one RBI and one stolen base in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Astros.

    Moore's playing time remains sparse, and rightfully so given his woeful work at the plate in limited opportunities. He's gone 2-for-44 over 27 games since the start of June -- his RBI in Saturday's contest was on a groundout that tied the game in the bottom of the 10th inning. A strong start to the year gave him regular playing time into May, but he's since settled in as a utility player with no clear path into the lineup. Moore is slashing just .208/.268/.387 with 10 steals, nine home runs, 19 RBI and 27 runs scored over 190 plate appearances this season.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Connects for sixth homer

    Rojas went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Brewers.

    Rojas got a rare start versus a right-handed pitcher (Freddy Peralta) as the Dodgers gave the slumping Mookie Betts the day off. Rojas has primarily served as a short-side platoon option at third base, though he can cover second base and shortstop in a pinch. The infielder is up to six homers, 14 RBI, 18 runs scored, one stolen base and a .261/.308/.440 slash line through 144 plate appearances this season.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Cranks 11th homer

    Edman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Brewers.

    Edman ended a brutal slump at the plate -- he was 0-for-26 across his last seven games. The utility player also hadn't homered since June 15, going 23 contests without a long ball while hitting .154 with four doubles in that span. Edman is now slashing .224/.279/.401 with 11 homers, 40 RBI, 41 runs scored and three stolen bases over 298 plate appearances. He continues to fill a near-everyday role when healthy, and he's currently splitting time between third base (versus righties) and second base (versus lefties).

  • Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Three hits against White Sox

    Gonzales went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the White Sox.

    Gonzales reached base in each of his first three at-bats, highlighted by an RBI double in the fifth inning. It was his first multi-hit effort since July 4, and he entered Saturday's game hitting just .097 across his last nine contests. Despite the slow stretch, Gonzales is still batting .271/.327/.429 across 153 plate appearances for the season.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Dealing with foot issue

    Lowe was lifted from Saturday's game against Baltimore due to a flare-up of plantar fasciitis in his left foot, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Lowe grounded out to third base to end the bottom of the sixth inning Saturday, and Jose Caballero replaced him on defense to begin the top of the following frame. Lowe was just activated from the IL on Friday following an oblique injury, but his departure Saturday doesn't appear to be related to that issue. Topkin notes that Lowe was already scheduled to get a day off Sunday, though the slugger could be available off the bench.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Drives in five runs

    Albies went 2-for-4 with a home run, five RBI, one run scored, one walk and one stolen base in Saturday's 12-9 loss to the Yankees.

    Albies launched his ninth home run of the season and racked up five RBI in Saturday's loss, though a bullpen meltdown spoiled the victory. The switch hitter has struggled throughout 2025, entering the game with a .614 OPS, 21 extra-base hits, 33 RBI and seven stolen bases across 96 games. He's come out of the All-Star break hot, however, with two homers and nine RBI through the first two games of the second half.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Perfect at plate in win

    Sosa went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Pirates. He was also hit by a pitch.

    Sosa reached base in all five plate appearances and drove in runs with singles in the fifth and seventh innings. The 25-year-old has posted an .828 OPS over 14 July contests, recording four multi-hit efforts, three home runs, 12 RBI and seven runs scored during that stretch. For the season, he's slashing .274/.300/.422 with nine homers, 34 RBI, 29 runs scored and two stolen bases across 308 plate appearances.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Expected back Sunday

    Marte (personal) is in Arizona and is likely to return to the Diamondbacks' lineup Sunday versus St. Louis, per SI.com.

    Marte was placed on the restricted list Friday while dealing with a personal matter. The All-Star second baseman missed Arizona's first two games of the second half as a result, but it appears he'll be back in action Sunday. Blaze Alexander has started at the keystone for the Diamondbacks in each of the two contests that Marte has been absent for.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Suffers broken nose, concussion

    Rodgers was diagnosed with a nasal fracture and a concussion Saturday following a collision during a rehab game at Triple-A Sugar Land, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    While working his way back from an oblique strain, Rodgers ran head first into shortstop Edwin Diaz on Friday. The Astros have pulled the former off his rehab assignment following his diagnoses, and he's slated to be re-evaluated in a few days, at which point a new timeline for his return may emerge.
