    Padres' Eguy Rosario: Building momentum in minors

    Rosario has swatted three home runs and knocked in seven runs while going 7-for-14 over his past three games with Triple-A El Paso.

    Rosario hit only .160 during his first six games in June, but he's turned things around considerably with his three-game hot stretch. The 22-year-old broke through with 12 homers and 30 stolen bases in 114 Double-A games last season and is on a similar pace with six long balls and 10 thefts through 54 games in his first Triple-A stint this year. He's striking out at a 23.7 percent clip but has balanced that with an above-average 10.5 percent walk rate.

The third baseman continues to sport one of the best lines in baseball, hitting .332/.405/.556 with 10 homers, 37 RBI, 39 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 56 contests. He's added 16 doubles and a triple.

    Giants' Evan Longoria: Managing hamstring issue

    Longoria was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers due to left hamstring tightness, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

    Longoria was unable to run at full strength after grounding out in the bottom of the fourth inning Friday, and he was removed from the game as a result. It's not yet clear whether his injury will require a trip to the injured list, but Thairo Estrada and Darin Ruf will likely see additional playing time if Longoria is unavailable in the coming days.

    Longoria slowly ran to first base after grounding out in the bottom of the fourth inning Friday, and he was replaced defensively to begin the fifth. Prior to his departure, he went 1-for-2 with a double, a run and an RBI. The nature and severity of Longoria's injury aren't yet clear.

    Madrigal was removed from Friday's loss to the Yankees due to groin tightness, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Madrigal started Friday's matchup and went 2-for-5 with a strikeout prior to his departure in the bottom of the 12th inning. He should tentatively be considered day-to-day, but Andrelton Simmons and Jonathan Villar are likely in line for additional playing time if Madrigal misses time.

    Marlins' Brian Anderson: Dealing with mild disc bulge

    Anderson (back) is dealing with a mild disc bulge in his lumbar spine, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

    Anderson has been sidelined since May 28, and he underwent an MRI on Tuesday that helped to clarify his diagnosis. The 29-year-old doesn't yet have a timetable to resume baseball activities, but Jon Berti should continue to serve as the primary third baseman while Anderson and Joey Wendle (hamstring) are unavailable.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Reds' Mike Moustakas: Could return Monday

    Moustakas (illness) could return for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Moustakas has been on the COVID-19 injured list since Monday, but he'll have a chance to return to game action after missing just a week. Even if he isn't ready to play in time for Monday's series opener in Arizona, it seems likely that the 33-year-old will be back in action sometime next week.

However, manager David Bell said that the 26-year-old could be available off the bench, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
