  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Moncada will take a seat for the second time in the first three games of the second half, with both his absences coming against left-handed pitchers. The switch hitter has gone 2-for-19 versus southpaws this season, which stands in stark contrast to his .945 OPS against righties. Kevin Newman is starting at third base Sunday, as it appears he and Moncada are working in a loose platoon.

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Returning to Houston for MRI

    Paredes (hamstring) said after Saturday's game against the Mariners that he's returning to Houston to undergo an MRI on Sunday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    The 26-year-old departed Saturday's contest due to right hamstring discomfort and also said the injury feels worse than the left hamstring issue that sidelined him for a few games earlier this season. Manager Joe Espada said that the injury "doesn't look very good," per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle, so it wouldn't be surprising if a trip to the injured list is necessary. The Astros travel to Arizona on Monday to continue their road trip, and Paredes is likely to be out for at least the next couple days since he's travelling back to Houston for the evaluation.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Launches 19th homer

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Saturday in a loss to the Athletics.

    Ramirez accounted for Cleveland's only runs of the contest with a two-run blast in the third inning. The All-Star third baseman has gone deep six times over his past 12 games, pushing his season total to 19 homers. With one more long ball, Ramirez will record the seventh 20-20 season of his career.

  • Miguel Vargas 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Pair of doubles in win

    Vargas went 2-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored Saturday against the Pirates.

    Vargas managed his first multi-hit game in his last eight starts, recording doubles in the sixth and eighth innings. He's struggled throughout July, going just 8-for-50 with one RBI and six runs scored. Positively, Vargas has struck out only eight times in that span.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Dealing with hamstring issue

    Paredes was pulled from Saturday's game versus Seattle due to right hamstring discomfort, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Paredes pulled up before reaching first base on a single to deep left field in the third inning. He was immediately lifted for a pinch runner but was able to leave the field under his own power, albeit gingerly. Paredes missed three games in mid-June due to a hamstring issue. though it's worth noting that in that instance the injury was to his left hamstring. Imaging should help determine how severe Paredes' injury is this time around, but it wouldn't be surprising if he's held out of the lineup Sunday.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Pulled with apparent leg injury

    Paredes was removed in the third inning of Saturday's game against Seattle due to an apparent leg injury, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

    Paredes smacked a ball to deep left field but pulled up before reaching first base and had to settle for a single. He was immediately checked on by a trainer and subsequently departed from the contest, as Zack Short replaced him as a runner. If Paredes needs to miss time, Short and Mauricio Dubon are candidates to step in at third base.
