  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Drives in three in win

    Devers went 2-for-5 with a triple, a run scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Blue Jays.

    His bases-loaded triple in the sixth inning completed the comeback from an early deficit and proved to be the game-winning hit. Devers is also climbing out of his personal early-season hole -- over his last 12 games he's recorded five multi-hit efforts, posting a .302/.339/.509 slash line with two homers and 12 RBI.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Indians' Jose Ramirez: Notches two steals

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a pair of stolen bases and two runs scored in a win over Minnesota on Tuesday.

    Ramirez generated the game's first run in the first inning when he singled, stole second and third base, then came around to score on a two-out single. The performance marked the third time this season that Ramirez has swiped two bags in a game. While his .239/.333/.436 slash line is mildly disappointing, he has drilled five home runs and is tied for second in baseball with eight stolen bases.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Not in lineup for Game 2

    Rendon isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Astros.

    Rendon went hitless in three at-bats during the first portion of the twin bill, and he'll take a seat for the second game. David Fletcher will shift to the hot corner with Luis Rengifo starting at second base.

  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Twins' Josh Donaldson: Playing in intrasquad games

    Donaldson (calf) has resumed playing in intrasquad games at the Twins' alternate training site, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Donaldson has been increasing his activity since landing on the 10-day injured list with a right calf injury. He's recently progressed to taking at-bats in intrasquad matchups. Despite the positive signs, a timetable for his return still hasn't been announced, but his absence from the Twins' ongoing 10-game road trip suggests he won't be activated until at least next week.

  • Nick Madrigal 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Nick Madrigal: Not yet ready to return

    Manager Rick Renteria said Tuesday that Madrigal (shoulder) will require "at least a few more days" at the team's alternate training site before returning, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

    Madrigal could still make it back before the end of August, although it appears as though he won't return for the team's current series against the Pirates. If all goes well in Schaumburg, it's possible that the 23-year-old could return for the White Sox's upcoming series against the Royals, which is scheduled to begin Friday.

  • Abraham Toro 1B | BOS

    Astros' Abraham Toro: Sitting for Game 1

    Toro is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Angels.

    Toro is 0-for-12 with three strikeouts and zero walks over his last four games. Jack Mayfield will start at third base and hit ninth.

  • Abraham Toro 1B | BOS

    Astros' Abraham Toro: Receives day off Monday

    Toro isn't in the lineup Monday against the Angels.

    Toro had started the past eight games for the Astros, but he's gone hitless with three strikeouts over his last 12 at-bats. He'll get a breather Monday with Jack Mayfield starting at third base.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Tigers' Isaac Paredes: Takes seat Monday

    Paredes isn't in the lineup Monday against the Cubs.

    Paredes has gotten the bulk of playing time at third base since joining the active roster and went 3-for-4 with a double and a strikeout Sunday. However, he'll get a breather Monday with Willi Castro starting at the hot corner.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Out at last three weeks

    Bregman (hamstring) will miss at least three weeks, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Houston general manager James Click confirmed that news Sunday. "We're hoping it's a three-week thing," Click told the Astros' radio broadcast. "Initially, that's kind of the timetable we're looking at. But obviously with all of these things, we have to be patient. We have to wait for things to calm down there and see how he responds to treatment." Bregman suffered the injury during Wednesday's game against the Rockies. Since then, he's been replaced by Abraham Toro at third base and Carlos Correa at third in the batting order.

  • Yadiel Rivera 3B | MIL

    Rangers' Yadiel Rivera: Swipes bag Sunday

    Rivera went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Mariners.

    Rivera reached on an error in the sixth inning and stole second, but the Rangers couldn't bring him home. Sunday marked Rivera's first game of 2020 -- he hit .183/.258/.217 with two steals, three RBI and eight runs scored in 34 outings with the Marlins last year. Rivera is likely to see just a part-time role while Elvis Andrus (back) is out.
