  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Delivers two runs Tuesday

    Bregman went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Rockies.

    Bregman delivered a run on a sacrifice fly in the first inning and later doubled home a run in the seventh when the Astros plated four to take the lead for good. Bregman has been in an RBI funk of late and entered Tuesday's game with just one over the previous nine contests. Despite the mini-slump, Bregman leads the Astros with 54 RBI.

  • White Sox's Nick Madrigal: Earns organizational honors

    Madrigal was named the White Sox's minor-league player of the month for June, Lamond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Madrigal hit .344 with 12 RBI, 17 runs and nine stolen bases during the month, most of that coming after his promotion to Double-A Birmingham on June 6. Other than the typical progression of being exposed to every rung on the organizational ladder, there is little blocking Madrigal's path to a regular gig as the White Sox's everyday second baseman. He could reach Chicago by 2020.

  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Giants' Evan Longoria: Goes yard twice in San Diego

    Longoria went 4-for-5 with a double, two home runs, three runs scored and five RBI in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Padres.

    The veteran third baseman is suddenly red hot, going 7-for-13 over his last three games with two doubles, three homers, eight runs and eight RBI. Longoria's .237/.314/.424 slash line on the season remains poor, but Tuesday's eruption gives him 10 home runs on the year -- the 12th straight season in which he's reached double digits.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: On base four times in loss

    McMahon went 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Astros.

    After posting a lackluster .244/.299/.333 slash line in June, McMahon came through with a big night to begin July. The 24-year-old continues to maintain a shaky grip on the starting second base spot for the Rockies, and more performances like this would go a long way toward improving his job security in the second half.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Smashes two homers

    Devers went 4-for-6 with two home runs and six RBI in a 10-6 victory against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

    Not only does the 22-year-old have hits in six straight games, he has at least three hits in three of those contests. Devers has also racked up nine extra-base hits and eight RBI during that stretch and is hitting .329 with 14 home runs, 56 RBI, 64 runs and eight steals in 325 at-bats this year.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Stays hot

    Suarez went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Brewers.

    Suarez took Chase Anderson deep in the first inning to record his 20th homer of the season. He's now homered in three consecutive games, also driving in nine in that span. While he had a slow month of June by going yard only twice, Suarez appears to be back in a groove at the dish heading into the All-Star break.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Brewers' Mike Moustakas: Mashes 24th home

    Moustakas went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Reds.

    Moustakas took Tanner Roark deep in the sixth inning to record his 24th home run of the season. With three homers in his last 11 games, Moustakas has shown no signs of slowing down at the plate. He's pacing toward surpassing his previous career-best 38 long balls, and also has maintained a .569 slugging percentage across 338 plate appearances.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Delivers ninth homer

    Davis went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and two RBI on Tuesday against the Yankees.

    Davis drew the start in left field with southpaw James Paxton on the mound and he delivered his ninth home run of the season in the sixth inning. He played a vital role in the Mets' victory, also doubling in the tying run in the eighth frame. Despite a solid .283/.346/.475 line across 217 plate appearances, Davis has started only twice since June 24.

  • Brian Anderson RF | ATL

    Marlins' Brian Anderson: Suffers elbow contusion

    Anderson was pulled from Tuesday's game at Washington due to a right elbow contusion.

    Anderson appeared to sustain the injury when he collided with the wall in right-center field on Juan Soto's first-inning homer. For now the 26-year-old should be considered day-to-day.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Serving one-game ban

    Machado will not take part in Tuesday's game against the Giants as he'll be serving a one-game suspension for an incident with an umpire back in mid-June, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Machado was ejected for arguing balls and strikes back on June 16 and was hit with a one-game ban. He appealed the suspension at the time, but the punishment was eventually upheld. Greg Garcia will likely fill in at third base in Machado's absence.
