  • Nathan Eaton LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Heading to Worcester

    The Red Sox are expected to option Eaton to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    With Masataka Yoshida (shoulder) due to return from the injured list Wednesday, Eaton will end up as the man left without a place on the active roster. The 28-year-old is 6-for-24 in the majors this year with one RBI, five runs scored and three steals through 14 games, and his defensive versatility gives him a better chance to return to the Red Sox later in the year.

  • Caleb Durbin 3B | MIL

    Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Sitting down Tuesday

    Durbin isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Durbin has been turning things around at the plate over the past few weeks, but he'll get a chance to regroup after going 0-for-6 over his last two games. Andruw Monasterio will take over at the hot corner and bat eighth.

  • Tristan Gray SS | MIN

    White Sox's Tristan Gray: Optioned to Triple-A

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Held out of lineup again Tuesday

    Arenado (shoulder) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

    Arenado missed the final two games of the weekend series against the Cubs with a right shoulder impingement and had an extra day of rest with the Cardinals being idle Monday. Manager Oliver Marmol said Arenado is feeling better and hopes to avoid the 10-day injured list, but more will be known about his status Wednesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. Nolan Gorman is at third base and batting fifth for St. Louis.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Activation imminent

    Moncada (knee) is headed to Los Angeles to rejoin the Angels and is likely to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

    Moncada has missed more than a month of action with right knee inflammation but appears set to return after going 4-for-9 with a homer in three rehab games with the Angels' Arizona Complex League affiliate. The 30-year-old should regain his role as the Halos' primary third baseman, with Luis Rengifo shifting over to second base to cover for Christian Moore (thumb).

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Logs RBI in return

    Schmitt went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Monday's 3-1 win over the Phillies.

    Schmitt returned to big-league action after being officially placed on the 10-day injured list June 30 (retroactive to June 27) due to left hand inflammation. The infielder drew a walk in the second and added a single in the sixth. The 26-year-old later grounded into a fielder's choice in the eighth, though he drove in the go-ahead run. Schmitt is now slashing .277/.365/.436 with 16 RBI, 13 runs scored and four home runs across 116 plate appearances.

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Keeps raking Monday

    Barger went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's win over the White Sox.

    The 25-year-old took Sean Burke deep in the sixth inning, one of three Toronto homers off the right-hander on the night. Barger is up to 12 long balls on the season, including four in the last nine games -- a stretch in which he's batting .323 (10-for-31) with two doubles, six runs and 12 RBI.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Cranks three-run bomb

    Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a double and a three-run home run in Monday's win over the Astros.

    The switch-hitter delivered a three-run homer off Colton Gordon in the fifth inning to provide the power Monday. Ramirez came into the contest in a slump, batting just .139/.225/.222 with one extra-base hit and three RBI over his previous 10 games. Despite the recent struggles, he continues to post strong overall numbers, slashing .298/.361/.495 with 33 extra-base hits (15 home runs), 42 RBI and 22 stolen bases through 86 games.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Reaches milestone with 2,000th hit

    Machado went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.

    Machado reached a personal milestone when he singled in the fourth inning for his 2,000th career MLB regular-season hit. The veteran third baseman rounded out his big day with a solo homer in the eighth frame, giving him 357 career homers. Per The Athletic MLB, Machado is the 17th player in MLB history to reach 350 homers and 2,000 hits before his 33rd birthday. The recently named All-Star is having another standout season, slashing .293/.354/.484 with 15 homers, 53 RBI, 54 runs and eight stolen bases through 384 plate appearances.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: First RBI in 12 starts

    McMahon went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Monday against the Red Sox.

    McMahon entered the game having failed to record an RBI in his last 12 starts and 14 games. He's hit just .125 in that span with a 38.5 percent strikeout rate, though he at least managed to drive in a run with a single in the sixth inning of Monday's contest. McMahon has had a disastrous season overall, posting a career-low .684 OPS with only 26 RBI across 89 games.
