  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Receiving MRI on Wednesday

    Yoshida (hand) will undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    Yoshida jammed his left hand during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cubs and was not listed in the Red Sox lineup Tuesday. While he's technically active for the contest, he's unlikely to play. Fantasy managers should have a better idea about the severity of the injury after the results of Wednesday's MRI come back. In the meantime, Tyler O'Neill should handle DH duties.

  • Garrett Cooper 1B | ATL

    Red Sox's Garrett Cooper: Batting seventh in Boston debut

    Cooper is starting at first base and batting seventh Tuesday against the Giants, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    The 33-year-old was acquired from the Cubs over the weekend and will make his debut for the Red Sox on Tuesday. Cooper had a .270/.341/.432 slash line in 41 plate appearances for Chicago and should see plenty of playing time at first base while Triston Casas (ribs) is sidelined.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Yoshida (hand) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants , Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    The 30-year-old suffered a left hand injury during Sunday's win over the Cubs and needs a bit more time to recover coming off Monday's scheduled team day. It's unclear if Yoshida will be available off the bench, and he should be considered day-to-day. Tyler O'Neill will receive a turn at designated hitter while Rob Refsnyder starts in left field.

  • Cole Tucker 3B | LAA

    Angels' Cole Tucker: Swipes bag in Angels debut

    Tucker went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in a 6-5 victory versus Philadelphia on Monday.

    Tucker was called up to the big club Monday afternoon and batted seventh while working as the Angels' DH. The 27-year-old made a tangible impact in his team debut, walking and stealing a base in his first plate appearance, then tying the game with a run-scoring single in the sixth inning. It's unclear how often Tucker will be in the lineup since he doesn't have an obvious path to everyday playing time.

  • Mitch Garver C | SEA

    Mariners' Mitch Garver: Wins game with walk-off homer

    Garver went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Monday in a 2-1 win over Atlanta.

    It's been a rough season for Garver, as he's slashing just .150/.266/.313 through 94 plate appearances. However, Seattle has stuck with him as the team's primary DH, and that decision paid off Monday when he launched a two-run, ninth-inning shot to give the Mariners a come-from-behind win. Garver could be building a bit of momentum, as he's gone deep in two of his past four games.

  • Justin Turner 1B | CHC

    Blue Jays' Justin Turner: Clubs pair of homers

    Turner went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a solo home run during Monday's 6-5 win over the Royals.

    Turner dominated Royals starter Jonathan Bowlan -- who was making his second career start -- notching home runs off him in the first and third innings. The contest doubled Turner's 2024 home run total and was his first multi-homer game since June of 2023. Through 28 games, Turner is slashing .311/.390/.533 with 15 RBI and 15 runs scored.

  • Harold Ramirez DH | WAS

    Rays' Harold Ramirez: Gets Monday off

    Ramirez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

    Ramirez will take a seat for the second time in three days while Yandy Diaz gets a day off at first base and serves as the Rays' designated hitter after he recently returned from a left pinkie finger injury. Though Ramirez still appears to be the Rays' top option on the depth chart at DH for the time being, he'll be at risk of moving a short-side platoon role once Jonathan Aranda (finger) is activated from the 10-day injured list.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Suffers hand injury in win

    Yoshida exited Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cubs in the sixth inning due to a left hand injury, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    Yoshida jammed his left hand on a groundout in his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning, ultimately leaving the game after the top of the sixth inning. Considering the outfielder was able remain in the game as long as he did and even record a hit in his second at-bat, it's possible that the injury is minor. The team will determine if he needs X-rays during Monday's off day, and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

  • Eloy Jimenez DH | TB

    White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Stays hot against Tampa Bay

    Jimenez went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Rays.

    Jimenez was able to single and then come around to score on an RBI single by Robbie Grossman in the bottom of the fourth. He later added two more base knocks in the contest, notching his second straight multi-hit performance and his fourth in the last nine games. Over that stretch, Jimenez has batted .351 with three home runs, eight RBI, seven runs scored, three walks and a stolen base over 37 at-bats.

  • Wyatt Langford OF | TEX

    Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Secures first major-league homer

    Langford went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Reds.

    Langford entered Sunday homerless through his first 26 major-league contests, but that came to an end in quite the unique fashion. With one on and two out in the top of the first, the outfielder launched a high flyball to right center field, which ricocheted off the wall and rolled away from right fielder Jake Fraley, allowing Langford to round the bases for an inside-the-park home run. Langford, who picked up his first RBI since April 18, is now batting .248 with 11 RBI, 13 runs and a stolen base over 101 at-bats in 27 games this season.
