  • Royals' Carter Jensen: Day-to-day with wrist injury

    Jensen will not be in Triple-A Omaha's lineup Wednesday due to a right wrist contusion, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Jensen suffered the injury after his hand hit a batting helmet on a throw during Tuesday's game. The 22-year-old top prospect is considered day-to-day, and he could return to the lineup before the end of the week. Jensen is slashing .252/.358/.574 with two steals, eight doubles, nine home runs and 26 RBI over 135 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Out of Wednesday's lineup

    Narvaez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Houston.

    Narvaez started each of the first two games of the series, but he'll take a seat for the finale. Connor Wong is catching and batting ninth in the rubber match.

  • Rangers' Kyle Higashioka: Absent from lineup

    Higashioka is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Higashioka was behind the dish for a night game Tuesday, so he'll get some rest during Wednesday's matinee. Jonah Heim will catch and bat eighth for the Rangers.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Getting breather

    Dingler is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Dingler started each of the previous six games (five at catcher), so he'll get some rest during Wednesday's matinee. Jake Rogers will do the catching and bat ninth for Detroit.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Lifts homer

    Narvaez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 14-1 win over Houston.

    Narvaez swatted his 10th home run of the season, taking Shawn Dubin yard for a three-run shot. The outing snapped a dry spell for the catcher, as he entered the contest with just one hit in his last 25 at-bats. Narvaez has dealt with a minor knee injury recently, but he's now made back-to-back starts behind the dish.

  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Reaches base three times

    Teel went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Tigers.

    Teel was part of a five-run fifth inning for the White Sox, walking with the bases loaded to drive in one. After holding his own through the first month of his time in the majors, Teel has shown signs of breaking out since the All-Star break. Across 17 games, he's hit .310 with two home runs, seven RBI and nine runs scored with five total extra-base hits.

  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Delivers three-hit, three-RBI night

    Quero went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Tigers.

    The rookie launched a solo shot off Codi Heuer in the seventh inning, his fourth of the year, and then added a two-run single an inning later to push Chicago's lead to six. It was his third multi-hit effort in his last eight games and his second game this season with at least three RBI. The 22-year-old is now slashing .275/.342/.381 with 29 RBI and 20 runs scored through 75 contests.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Goes deep in loss

    Dingler went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the White Sox.

    Dingler went deep against Chicago reliever Tyler Gilbert in the seventh inning for his 11th home run of the season. The Detroit catcher is batting just .194 this month in 11 games, though he's at least mustered two long balls. On the year, Dingler has a .272/.319/.429 slash line in 92 games, and he's emerged as Detroit's primary backstop with Jake Rogers filling a reserve role.

  • Twins' Jhonny Pereda: Back to Triple-A

    Pereda was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

    Pereda got called up Friday to fill Christian Vazquez's (shoulder) spot on the 26-man roster after Vazquez was placed on the injured list. However, Pereda will return to St. Paul now that Matt Wallner is off the paternity list. Pereda didn't appear in a game during this MLB stint.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Clubs 24th homer

    Langeliers went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a loss against the Rays on Monday.

    Langeliers produced the A's first run of the game with a 425-foot solo shot to center field in the fifth inning. It was the continuation of a huge second half for the backstop -- since the All-Star break, Langeliers is batting a robust .404 (38-for-94) with 12 home runs, 22 RBI, 22 runs and a stolen base over 23 contests. While he's always been viewed as having big-time power, Langeliers struggled with strikeouts over his first three campaigns and didn't bat higher than .224 in any regular season. However, he's up to a .276 batting average this year due in part to a dramatic decrease in punchouts -- his 18.2 percent strikeout rate is nine points lower than his previous season-best mark of 27.2 percent.
