  • Eloy Jimenez DH | BAL

    White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Tallies first homer

    Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Phillies.

    Jimenez tallied his first RBI of the season Saturday and then proceeded to smack his first home run of the campaign in the opening frame of Sunday's contest. He has been sidelined for much of the season by an adductor injury but is showing signs of getting on track at the plate for the first time.

  • Brent Rooker DH | ATH

    Athletics' Brent Rooker: Goes yard again

    Rooker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Guardians.

    Rooker homered for the second time in three games since returning from the 10-day IL due to a rib injury. He's swatted four home runs this season -- each coming in his last six games. On the year, Rooker is slashing .205/.244/.538 with a 51.2 percent strikeout rate.

  • Mitch Garver DH | SEA

    Mariners' Mitch Garver: On bench for Game 2

    Garver is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader in Colorado.

    Garver will take a seat after he went 0-for-4 with two punchouts in the team's 2-1 extra-inning Game 1 loss Sunday. Cal Raleigh will slot in at designated hitter while Seby Zavala enters the lineup at catcher and bats ninth in the nightcap.

  • Mitch Garver DH | SEA

    Mariners' Mitch Garver: On base thrice in win

    Garver went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run in a win over the Rockies on Saturday.

    Garver's three trips on the basepaths helped pushed his on-base percentage over the .300 mark (.308), a number that particularly stands out when considering it sits between a .170 average and .283 slugging percentage on his slash line. The veteran has managed to reach safely in seven straight games, however, and when his .222 BABIP eventually normalizes some, the other two figures should see some appreciable boosts.

  • Abraham Toro 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Abraham Toro: First triple since '22

    Toro went 1-for-4 with a triple in a loss to the Guardians on Saturday.

    The three-bagger not only extended Toro's modest hitting streak to three games, it also served as his first such hit since June 2, 2022 while with the Mariners. Toro has now started 12 consecutive games at either third base or designated hitter, and while his .254/.323/.424 slash line is solid but not remarkable, it passes for one of the better ones on a struggling Oakland offense.

  • Miguel Sano 3B | LAA

    Angels' Miguel Sano: First MLB homer in over two years

    Sano went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Reds.

    The long ball off Graham Ashcraft in the sixth inning was Sano's first in the big leagues since April 15, 2022. Sano missed the better part of two years after undergoing surgery on his left knee, and he got off to a slow start with the Angels this season, but he's suddenly up to an .808 OPS. He could see more time at third base in the short term after Anthony Rendon left Saturday's game with a hamstring injury.

  • Eloy Jimenez DH | BAL

    White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: First RBI of season

    Jimenez went 2-for-5 with an RBI on Saturday against the Phillies.

    Jimenez entered Saturday's game having gone 0-for-10 with three strikeouts and three walks since being activated from the injured list Monday. He delivered a pair of singles against the Phillies, with the latter driving in a run during a ninth-inning rally to mark his first RBI of the campaign. Jimenez is off to a miserable start through 29 plate appearances this season, as he has yet to record an extra-base hit and has only one run scored while hitting .154.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Slugs second homer

    Yoshida went 3-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

    The 30-year-old outfielder took Mitch Keller deep in the sixth inning for Boston's final runs. Yoshida has only two homers on the season, but they've both come in his last five games. On the campaign, he's slashing .250/.325/.375 with nine runs and 10 RBI in 20 contests.

  • Kevin Smith DH | NYY

    Yankees' Kevin Smith: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Yankees sent Smith outright to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

    The Yankees DFA'd Smith on Thursday after claiming outfielder Taylor Trammell off waivers from the Dodgers, and the 27-year-old infielder will officially remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Smith is slashing just .182/.282/.212 across 39 Triple-A plate appearances and is unlikely to return to New York barring a significant turnaround.

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | BAL

    Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Gets breather against lefty

    O'Hearn isn't in Baltimore's lineup for Saturday's game against Kansas City.

    The left-handed bat of O'Hearn will sit down Saturday as the Royals send fellow lefty Cole Ragans to the mound. His absence will move Adley Rutschman into the DH spot while James McCann starts behind the plate and bats eighth.
