  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Four hits in twin bill

    Garcia went 4-for-7 with a home run, two triples, one walk, two RBI and two runs scored across both games of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Guardians.

    Garcia had last hit a homer June 18 versus the Rangers, which was coincidentally the date of his last triple as well. During the 29-game homer drought, he hit a meager .225 and slugged just .297 while adding four stolen bases on six attempts. The infielder has maintained a starting role at third base despite the recent mediocre performance. He's now slashing .296/.351/.461 with nine homers, 43 RBI, 46 runs scored, 19 stolen bases, 26 doubles and five triples through 103 contests.

  • Amed Rosario SS | NYY

    Yankees' Amed Rosario: Shipped to New York

    The Yankees acquired Rosario in a trade with Washington on Saturday in exchange for Clayton Beeter and Browm Martinez, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

    Rosario adds considerable versatility to the Yankees' roster, as he has played third base, second base, shortstop and right field this season. Over 47 games with the Nationals prior to the trade, he slashed .270/.310/.426 with five homers, 18 RBI and one stolen base. Rosario has seen more at-bats against lefties than righties this season and has hit southpaws well throughout his career, so he could be an option to at least occasionally spell the newly acquired Ryan McMahon -- who figures to get most of the starts at the hot corner but has struggled to a .599 OPS against left-handed pitchers this season.

  • Matt Shaw SS | CHC

    Cubs' Matt Shaw: Brings home three runs

    Shaw went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.

    Shaw's two-run homer in the seventh inning extended the Cubs' lead to three, and he brought home another run after drawing a bases-loaded walk in the eighth. Shaw has come out of the All-Star break with an eight-game hit streak, going 11-for-23 (.478) with four home runs, nine RBI and two steals over that span.

  • Will Wagner 2B | SD

    Blue Jays' Will Wagner: Placed on restricted list

    The Blue Jays placed Wagner on the restricted list Saturday.

    The Blue Jays will grant Wagner some time away from the team to attend his father's Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cooperstown this weekend. Alan Roden will come up from Triple-A Buffalo to fill the opening on the active roster.

  • Rockies' Warming Bernabel: Officially promoted to majors

    The Rockies selected Bernabel's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

    The move was anticipated after Colorado traded long-time third baseman Ryan McMahon to the Yankees on Friday. Bernabel has put together a strong season with Albuquerque, slashing .301/.356/.450 with eight home runs, 45 RBI and five stolen bases over 75 games. He logged significant time at both third base and first base in the minors, but Bernabel will likely spend most of his time at the hot corner with the Rockies after McMahon's departure and could be given the opportunity to start on a frequent basis. Neither his power nor his speed are above average, so he'll likely need to hit for a high average to be an appealing fantasy asset.

  • Tristan Gray SS | MIN

    Rays' Tristan Gray: Dealt to Rays

    The White Sox traded Gray to the Rays on Saturday in exchange for cash, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    After slashing .270/.333/.472 with nine homers and 44 RBI through 282 plate appearances at Triple-A Charlotte, Gray will return to the organization with whom he made his MLB debut in 2023. The 29-year-old will replace Coco Montes, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Vidal Brujan 2B | NYM

    Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Tallies three hits in loss

    Brujan went 3-for-4 in Friday's 12-5 loss to the White Sox.

    Brujan set a new season high in hits, surpassing the two hits he compiled against this same White Sox club back on May 18. The 27-year-old, who started at third base Friday, isn't seeing a ton of playing time, and his role might be reduced further if the Cubs acquire a reinforcement for the hot corner before the trade deadline.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Set to debut Saturday

    McMahon is expected to be available to make his Yankees debut Saturday against the Phillies, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    The Yankees acquired McMahon in a trade with the Rockies on Friday, but the veteran third baseman wasn't able to arrive in New York in time to make his debut in the series opener with the Phillies later that day. However, McMahon seems likely to be part of the starting nine Saturday, and he's slated to take over as New York's primary third baseman moving forward. Oswald Peraza and Jorbit Vivas have been splitting starts at the hot corner of late, and both are expected to see fewer opportunities now that McMahon is in the fold.

  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Not in lineup Friday

    Vientos isn't in the starting lineup Friday versus San Francisco.

    Vientos isn't starting for the first time in the campaign's second half. Since the All-Star break, he's logged starts at DH, third base and first base and has batted .238 over six games. With Vientos out of the lineup, Jeff McNeil is starting at designated hitter, while Ronny Mauricio is getting the nod at the hot corner.

  • Max Muncy SS | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: Tending to hairline fracture

    Muncy is dealing with a hairline fracture at the base of the fourth metacarpal on his right hand, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reported Friday.

    Initial X-rays on Muncy's hand didn't reveal any significant injuries, but further evaluation revealed he's dealing with a hairline fracture. The infielder was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, but Friday's update could mean a longer absence is in store.
