    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Diagnosed with pinky fracture

    Crawford suffered a hairline fracture of his pinky finger during Monday's game against the Angels, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Crawford will require a trip to the 10-day injured list, though the timeline for a potential return remains uncertain. Dylan Moore should see opportunities at shortstop until Crawford returns to health, and the Mariners could also recall Ryan Bliss, who was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the day.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Stays hot Monday

    Witt went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer, a triple, a double and three runs scored in Monday's win over Arizona.

    Witt has been on a rampage since returning from the All-Star break. He knocked three extra-base hits Monday, including his three-run shot off Miguel Castro in the fourth inning. Witt has collected three hits in four straight games, and his OPS on the season has jumped from .928 to .979 as a result. He has racked up 55 extra-base hits with 22 steals and 82 runs scored in 101 games.

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Exits after HBP

    Crawford left Monday's game against the Angels after being struck by a pitch on the arm, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

    Crawford was initially able to remain in the game to run the bases, but he was lifted after coming around to score. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time. Dylan Moore replaced Crawford at shortstop.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Spotted in boot

    Correa (heel) was wearing a walking boot in the clubhouse before Monday's game against the Phillies, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to right plantar fasciitis, and he noted that he'll be in the walking boot for at least a few more days. The shortstop also said he wasn't sure he'll begin baseball activities immediately after shedding the boot, but he's hoping he won't miss more than another week or two. An updated timeline for Correa's return could be provided by the Twins later in the week.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Hitting bench Monday

    Hamilton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

    After stealing a pair of bases in Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Dodgers to bring his total to 25 on the season, Hamilton will get a chance to rest his legs in the series opener in Colorado. Jamie Westbrook will enter the lineup in Hamilton's stead, batting ninth while manning second base.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Blasts seventh home run

    Volpe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win against the Rays.

    Volpe took Rays starter Zack Littell deep in the second inning to record his seventh home run of the season. Volpe has come out of the All-Star break hot, batting 6-for-14 (.429) with three extra-base hits and four RBI in four games. The 23-year-old has had an up-and-down sophomore season, compiling a .251 batting average with seven home runs, 36 RBI, 63 runs scored and 17 steals in 101 games played.

  • Grae Kessinger 3B | ARI

    Astros' Grae Kessinger: Back down to Sugar Land

    The Astros optioned Kessinger to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday.

    Kessinger was moved off the 26-man active roster in favor of Aledmys Diaz, whose contract was selected ahead of Monday's game against the Athletics. After being called up from Sugar Land on July 2, Kessinger appeared in just four games and went hitless over four at-bats. He had been slashing .283/.356/.387 over 118 plate appearances with Sugar Land prior to his promotion.

  • Aledmys Diaz 1B | HOU

    Astros' Aledmys Diaz: Called up by Houston

    The Astros selected Diaz's contract Monday.

    Diaz joined the Astros on a minor-league contract July 13 after being released by the Athletics one week prior. He'll be starting up his second stint in the big leagues with Houston, after previously appearing in 262 contests between 2019 and 2022. Before Oakland cut him loose, the 33-year-old utility man logged 30 plate appearances in the big leagues this season, slashing .103/.133/.103 with no extra-base hits.

  • Ryan Bliss SS | SEA

    Mariners' Ryan Bliss: Moved back to Triple-A

    The Mariners optioned Bliss to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

    Bliss received his first MLB call-up May 27 and picked up 16 starts at second base in June, but playing time has been more difficult to come by in recent weeks. After Jorge Polanco returned from the injured list June 24 and took back everyday duties at the keystone, Bliss started just two of the Mariners' ensuing 21 games and went 0-for-10 with six strikeouts over that stretch. He'll get the opportunity to play on a more frequent basis with Tacoma.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Laces key triple in win

    Moore went 1-for-2 with a two-run triple and a walk in a win over the Astros on Sunday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt.

    The slugging veteran came into the day with just a single extra-base hit -- another three-bagger -- in his previous 16 games, but he snapped that rare drought with a second-inning laser that plated Josh Rojas and Luke Raley to give the Mariners an early 2-0 lead. The two RBI were also Moore's first since June 22, and despite Sunday's success, he's still carrying a .212 batting average that has plenty of room for improvement.
