  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Leaves yard Tuesday

    Bailey went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk and three runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

    The home run was his first since July 10 and just his fourth extra-base hit since Aug. 17. Bailey now has five multi-hit games this month and is putting up similar numbers to his rookie campaign in 2023, slashing .235/.297/.342 with eight homers, 44 RBI, 45 runs, three steals and a 37:97 BB:K in 436 plate appearances.

    Dodgers' Will Smith: On base three times

    Smith went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Padres.

    Smith notched his fourth multi-hit effort over his last 10 games, a span during which he's hitting .303 with a 3:4 BB:K. Smith has five extra-base hits this month but needs one more home run to reach 20 for the third time in his career. For the season, he's slashing .248/.326/.431 with 72 RBI, 73 runs and a 49:104 BB:K in 530 plate appearances.

    Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Returns to lineup with solid effort

    Amaya went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Phillies.

    After sitting out Monday's game, Amaya returned to the lineup and rattled off his second straight two-hit effort dating back to Sunday. The catcher has a .653 OPS so far this season, which is a step back from last year's .688 mark. Amaya has yet to really take off offensively at the MLB level, though he stands a decent chance of once again being Chicago's starting catcher in 2025, at least to start the season.

  • Pedro Pages C | STL

    Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Idle Tuesday

    Pages isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

    Pages is 0-for-11 with five strikeouts over his last four games, and he'll get another chance to regroup Tuesday as he sits for the second time in St Louis' last three contests. Ivan Herrera will catch for Michael McGreevy instead and bat sixth.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Receiving Tuesday off

    Realmuto is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    The Phillies clinched the NL East title with a win over the Cubs on Monday, but Realmuto's absence from the lineup Tuesday likely has more to do with the fact that he started the previous five games. Garrett Stubbs will do the catching for opener Tanner Banks.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Returns to lineup

    Moreno (adductor) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Giants.

    Moreno was removed from Sunday's game against the Brewers and didn't play Monday versus the Giants due to left adductor tightness. However, he's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one as the Diamondbacks look to even the series.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Clubs 14th homer

    Realmuto went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Cubs.

    Realmuto's 14th round-tripper put the Phillies on the board in the second inning and served as the springboard to their division-clinching victory. It was the veteran catcher's fifth multi-hit game and third homer this month. Barring a surge during the final week of the season, Realmuto will finish with fewer than 17 home runs in a full season for the first time since 2016.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Hoping to return to lineup Tuesday

    Moreno hopes to return to the Diamondbacks' lineup as soon as Tuesday after an MRI on his left side didn't reveal any structural damage, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Moreno had to depart Sunday's game versus the Brewers with left adductor tightness, which is the same injury he returned from just over a week ago. However, he has managed to avoid a serious setback and is considered day-to-day. Moreno has been limited to just 20 games in the second half due to injury but is slashing .367/.443/.467 during that time.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Absent from Monday's lineup

    Bailey is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Arizona.

    It's a routine day off for Bailey, who had started three of the last four games for the Giants. Curt Casali will do the catching in the series opener in the desert.

  • Miguel Amaya C | CHC

    Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Sitting out Monday

    Amaya is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Philadelphia.

    Amaya slugged a home run in Sunday's win over the Nationals but will receive a day of rest for Monday's series opener against the Phillies. Christian Bethancourt will start at catcher and bat eighth for the Cubs.
