    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Featured in blowout win

    Jeffers went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, an RBI double, an RBI single and an additional run scored during Thursday's 12-3 win over the Tigers.

    Although Thursday's contest was called after seven innings due to rain, Jeffers and the Twins' offense had no trouble putting up runs. The 27-year-old drove in four of those runs, highlighted by a two-run home run off Kenta Maeda in the fourth inning. Jeffers' round tripper was his 15th of the year, which is a career-high tally. The outing was also Jeffers' first multi-hit performance in 11 games and marked his second four-RBI game of 2024.

    Rutschman isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Sitting Thursday

    Langeliers isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Belts homer in loss

    Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Orioles on Wednesday.

    The Mariners' offense remained mired in a funk Wednesday, but Raleigh prevented a shutout defeat with a sixth-inning, 423-foot shot to center for the final run of the night for either team. The slugging backstop has now left the yard in three of his last eight games, putting him halfway to the career-best total of 30 homers he established last season.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Swipes fourth base in win

    Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the Angels on Wednesday.

    The power-hitting backstop showed off the wheels following his sixth-inning single, working his way into scoring position with a steal of second and subsequently racing home on Brett Harris' knock for the Athletics' fifth and final run of the night. Langeliers, who now has a career-high four stolen bases, has hit safely in three of his last four games, and while he maintains a forgettable .204 average and .256 OBP, he's sporting a solid .427 slugging percentage thanks to having laced 25 of his 52 hits for extra bases.

  • Twins' Christian Vazquez: Homers Wednesday

    Vazquez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-2 loss to the Tigers.

Wednesday was Vazquez's first game with an RBI since June 12 and his third game with multiple hits since that date. He's struggled mightily as a whole on the year, slashing .189/.214/.277 with 12 RBI, 11 runs and a 5:37 BB:K in 171 plate appearances.
