  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Held out Wednesday

    Wells (hand) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Rangers.

    Wells has now missed two starts in a row after being hit on the right hand by a pitch Monday.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: More timely hitting Tuesday

    Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and a second two-bagger in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.

    One day after driving in two runs with his 28th homer in a series-opening loss, Raleigh was once again one of the few bright spots for the Mariners in a second consecutive defeat. The backstop's first-inning double drove home J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez to open the scoring, and those would turn out to be the only runs of the night for the light-hitting Seattle lineup. Raleigh appears to have an outside chance at a 100-RBI campaign if he keeps up the timely knocks, as he's now sitting 16 RBI away from the triple-digit threshold with 23 games remaining.
