The 27-year-old has slashed .282/.369/.500 with 12 home runs and seven stolen bases across 252 plate appearances for Las Vegas.

  • Marcelo Mayer SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: 2025 return uncertain

    Manager Alex Cora said Friday that Mayer (wrist) has begun taking dry swings, but it's unclear if he will return this season, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    Mayer's recovery from right wrist soreness has been slow, even after undergoing an anti-inflammatory injection at the start of August. The 22-year-old began playing catch this week and has now begun swinging a bat. While it didn't initially seem like the injury would threaten to sideline Mayer for the rest of 2025, Cora was non-committal when asked about the rookie's return this season.

  • Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: Sent to Tacoma

    Seattle optioned Mastrobuoni to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

    Mastrobuoni will yield his spot n the 26-man roster to Luke Raley, who was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move. Mastrobuoni went hitless in two at-bats during his 16-day MLB stint.

    Ramirez has been on a run-scoring binge, crossing home plate 15 times over the last 14 contests. He's tied for 10th in MLB and leads the Guardians with 79 runs scored this season, giving him a shot to score 100 runs for a second straight season.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Plates three runs in victory

    Caminero went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and three total RBI in Wednesday's 8-2 win against the Athletics.

    Caminero began his day with a first-inning, run-scoring double and added a two-run blast to left field in the ninth frame. The All-Star third baseman has been swinging a hot and powerful stick of late, notching multiple hits in five of his past seven games and clubbing six homers during that span while batting .414 (12-for-29).

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Out of lineup Wednesday

    McKinstry is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the White Sox.

    McKinstry has gone 0-for-6 with five strikeouts in the first two games of the series and is slashing only .172/.243/.328 in the second half, so he'll get a day off to regroup. Colt Keith is at third base and batting leadoff for the Tigers.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Makes franchise history Tuesday

    Ramirez 3-for-4 with a double and two solo home runs in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Marlins.

It was Ramirez's second multi-homer performance of the season and the 27th of his career, moving him into first place on Cleveland's all-time list ahead of Jim Thome and Albert Belle. Ramirez broke out of a 2-for-25 slump with the effort, but he's been mostly locked in since the All-Star break, slashing .289/.385/.611 over his last 23 contests with seven homers, four steals, 13 RBI and 22 runs.

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Homers again

    Bregman went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 14-1 win over Houston.
