MLB Player News

Longoria exited Saturday's game versus the Dodgers in the fourth inning with a right hamstring strain, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Longoria suffered the injury after trying to avoid grounding into a double play, but he was unsuccessful and had to leave the game. The third baseman will likely be placed on the 10-day injured list in near future due to the nature of the injury.

Longoria left Saturday's contest early in the fourth inning with an apparent lower-body injury, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Longoria pulled up lame while trying to beat out a double-play ball in the top of the fourth inning, leaving the contest after the top of the frame. He appeared to injure his right hamstring but exact details will come later Saturday night. David Villar replaced him in the field and will take over the fourth spot in the order.

Peterson (elbow) will likely be sidelined until at least the end of August, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Manager Craig Counsell said Saturday that Peterson has been dealing with his elbow injury for approximately three weeks, and he'll require more than the minimum of 10 days on the IL. He received a PRP injection Saturday and will be shut down for a few days before beginning his rehab, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports. Counsell said that a return at the end of August is "optimistic," so it's possible that the 32-year-old will be unavailable until sometime in September. Mike Brosseau will likely see an uptick in playing time at third base behind Luis Urias over the next few weeks.

Peterson was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left elbow sprain Saturday, retroactive to July 20.

Peterson didn't start Friday's game against the Rockies, and he's apparently dealing with an elbow issue that will keep him sidelined for at least another week. Since the move was backdated to July 20, the 32-year-old will be eligible to return as early as July 30. Mike Brosseau should serve as the primary backup at third base while Peterson is sidelined.

Devers was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with right hamstring inflammation, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

He apparently tweaked his hamstring Friday and it's serious enough that the Red Sox didn't waste any time and put him on the IL the next day. Franchy Cordero and Bobby Dalbec should play pretty regularly while Devers is sidelined.

Paredes isn't starting Saturday against the Royals.

Paredes started the last four games and went 1-for-14 with two runs, four walks and two strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Ji-Man Choi starts at first base with Josh Lowe serving as the designated hitter.

Sosa (leg) is starting Saturday against Cincinnati, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Sosa didn't appear off the bench during Friday's series opener against the Reds, but he'll start at shortstop and bat eighth after moving past his leg injury. The 26-year-old has gone 3-for-11 with a double, three RBI, a run and a stolen base over his last four games.

Moustakas isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Cardinals.

Although Moustakas was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Monday, he'll be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game following the All-Star break. Donovan Solano is serving as the designated hitter and batting sixth.

Devers isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Blue Jays due to right hamstring tightness, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Devers tweaked his hamstring during Friday's blowout loss to Toronto, and manager Alex Cora said that it's possible that the third baseman will require a trip to the injured list. Bobby Dalbec, Jeter Downs and Yolmer Sanchez would likely see additional playing time if Devers is ultimately placed on the IL.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a double and a bases-loaded walk in a loss to the Astros on Friday.

Suarez picked up where he left off prior to the All-Star break, pushing his slash line to .270/.404/.568 over his last 11 games with Friday's production. The veteran slugger has reached safely in each one of those contests as well, and he's accumulated 13 RBI in the sample by posting a .333 average and 1.183 OPS in the 20 plate appearances he's logged with runners on base.
