Keith went 4-for-4 with a run and two RBI in a 7-0 victory versus the Angels on Saturday.

All four of Keith's knocks were singles, and he added a sacrifice fly to round out a big day at the plate. Not only did the four hits represent a season-high mark, but Saturday snapped a 22-contest stretch without a multi-hit performance for Keith. He batted a paltry .169 with a .624 OPS during that span, so fantasy managers in shallow leagues are likely going to want to see a prolonged period of production before plucking Keith off the waiver wire.

The Athletics announced that Gelof will begin baseball activities once the stitches on his right knee are removed Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Gelof landed on the 10-day injured list July 10 right due to a right knee laceration. He'll ramp up his rehab program once the stitches in his knee are removed, and if Gelof responds well to workouts, he could bypass a rehab assignment before returning from the IL. Before hitting the shelf, Gelof slashed .273/.327/.476 with 11 home runs, eight steals, 41 runs and 29 RBI across 247 plate appearances with the Athletics.

Arias isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

Arias struck out three times in four at-bats during Cleveland's 7-1 loss in the matinee, and he'll now retreat to the bench while Daniel Schneemann mans the hot corner in Game 2.

The Mariners designated Mastrobuoni for assignment Saturday.

After having his contract selected by Seattle on July 3, Mastrobuoni made only three at-bats for the big-league club before being DFA'd on Saturday. This marks the second time the 30-year-old has been designated for assignment by Seattle this campaign. With Julio Rodriguez coming back from the 7-day injured list, the Mariners needed to make room for him on the active roster.

Lewis isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs due to left hamstring soreness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Manager Derek Shelton said Lewis has already begun to feel better since reporting to the ballpark Saturday, but the Twins will keep him on the bench as a precaution. His absence will put Josh Bell at first base, moving Ryan Jeffers to the DH spot and giving Victor Caratini a start at catcher.

Garcia (hand) began swinging during the All-Star break and is set to be re-evaluated Sunday, per MLB.com.

Garcia landed on the injured list June 23 due to a nagging muscle strain in his left hand, but the 26-year-old took a step in the right direction by beginning to swing a bat during the All-Star break. Sunday's re-evaluation will determine whether he's ready to ramp up his hitting progression, including taking full rounds of batting practice, and should provide a clearer picture of when the third baseman could return to game action. Before being shelved, Garcia hit .261/.320/.373 with three homers, 30 RBI, 32 runs and five stolen bases across 69 games.

Caminero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during the Rays' 5-3 loss to the Red Sox in the second game of Friday's doubleheader.

Caminero was cleared to play in both of Friday's game after X-rays came back negative on his left hand, which was struck by a pitch during Tuesday's All-Star Game. He went 1-for-4 in the first game, which Tampa Bay lost 10-0, but he tied things up in the third inning of the second game with a solo homer off Eduardo Rivera. Caminero is up to 29 home runs and a .925 OPS which rank second and sixth, respectively, in the majors this season.

Alexander (hand) does not have a timeline to return from the 10-day injured list, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Alexander landed on the IL on Thursday due to a fractured left hand that he sustained against the Royals this past Sunday. The third baseman will undergo weekly checkups on his left hand and will begin physical activity once the bone heals. Coby Mayo is starting at third base Friday against the Astros, and he should see a bump in playing time at the hot corner for as long as Alexander is on the shelf.

Barger (back/elbow) remains shut down from baseball activities, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

While Barger hopes to play again this season, an August return would be a best-case scenario, according to manager John Schneider. Barger hasn't played since May 9 due to right elbow inflammation and a stress reaction in his back. It's been a lost season for the 26-year-old, as he's managed to appear in just nine games to this point in 2026.

Durbin went 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in a 10-0 win over the Rays in the first game of Friday's doubleheader.

He also got hit by a pitch. Durbin continues to wield a hot stick, posting a third multi-hit game over his last six contests. He entered Friday's matinee on a roll with a .325 batting average (26-for-80), five doubles, six home runs, 13 RBI, five steals and 17 runs scored over his previous 23 games.
