  • Nationals' Andres Chaparro: Smacks three doubles in debut

    Chaparro went 3-for-4 with three doubles, one RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Orioles.

    According to Jessica Camarato of MLB.com, Chaparro became just the fourth player since 1901 to hit three doubles in his major-league debut. He hit .328 with 23 home runs and 85 RBI at Triple-A this year and should continue to get opportunities to prove himself as a worthy trade-deadline acquisition.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Homers in fourth straight

    Bregman went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and a second run scored in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Tampa Bay.

    Bregman put the Astros ahead 2-1 in the fifth inning with a two-out blast off Shane Baz, his fourth long ball in as many games. The 30-year-old third baseman has been red hot at the dish -- he's hit safely in eight straight games, going 16-for-37 (.432) with four homers and nine extra-base hits in that span. Bregman's now slashing .263/.321/.449 through 505 plate appearances this year with 19 homers, 59 RBI, 65 runs scored and three stolen bases.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Homers in loss

    Arenado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Reds.

    Arenado's 400-foot blast off Hunter Greene in the seventh inning was the only offense the Cardinals could muster Tuesday. It was his first long ball since July 26, but he has gone 15-for-45 with eight RBI so far in August. On the season, the third baseman is hitting .270 with 12 homers, 53 RBI and 49 runs scored across 472 plate appearances.

  • Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Hits 19th homer in win

    Candelario went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Cardinals.

    Candelario took Erick Fedde deep in the sixth inning for his 14th long ball at Great American Ballpark. After a disappointing July, he has hit safely in eight of 11 August contests with four extra-base hits and five RBI. On the season, the 30-year-old is hitting .228 with 19 homers, 55 RBI and 46 runs scored across 443 plate appearances.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Tigers' Gio Urshela: Big game in rout

    Urshela went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 15-1 win over the Mariners.

    Urshela had a fifth of Detroit's whopping 20 hits as a team, giving him his first four-hit effort of the season. The infielder raised his batting average from .237 to .247 in the process. It's been a disappointing campaign for Urshela, who also missed time earlier in the year with a hamstring injury, but the veteran is capable of delivering some useful fantasy lines when he's in the lineup.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Headed for IL

    Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Chisholm suffered a UCL injury in his left elbow, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Boone noted that the team is still trying to determine the severity of Chisholm's injury, but he will almost certainly need to spend time on the injured list and may require surgery. The 26-year-old has slashed .316/.361/.702 with seven homers and 11 RBI in 61 plate appearances since joining the Yankees while primarily playing third base. Oswaldo Cabrera is likely to see regular reps at the hot corner while Chisholm is out.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Sitting out Tuesday

    Chisholm (elbow) isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

    Chisholm had to make an early exit from Monday's game after injuring his elbow sliding into home plate. Initial X-rays came back negative, but he'll sit out Tuesday's contest in order to recover. Oswaldo Cabrera will cover the hot corner instead and bat eighth.

  • Jose Tena 3B | WAS

    Nationals' Jose Tena: Idle Tuesday

    Tena (thumb) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

    Tena was removed from Sunday's game after being struck in the right hand by a grounder and will require an additional day of rest due to an issue with the fingernail of his right thumb. He should be considered day-to-day. Ildemaro Vargas will start at third base Tuesday.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Absent from lineup again

    Mayo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

    Mayo has now started just one of the last five games, taking a clear back seat to Ramon Urias at third base. The rookie is still seeking his first major-league hit, having gone 0-for-15 with 10 strikeouts. It would not be a surprise to see Mayo sent back to Triple-A Norfolk soon.

  • Nationals' Andres Chaparro: Officially added to roster

    The Nationals selected Chaparro's contract from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

    Acquired from the Diamondbacks in the Dylan Floro trade, Chaparro is receiving his first major-league promotion after slashing .328/.405/.572 with 23 home runs over 105 games in 2024 at the Triple-A level. The 25-year-old is expected to play regularly while alternating with Juan Yepez at first base and designated hitter. Chaparro is starting at first base and batting sixth Tuesday in Baltimore in his major-league debut.
