    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Swipes two bags in win

    Moore went 1-for-4 with a ground-rule double, two stolen bases and two runs in a win over the White Sox on Sunday.

    Moore made good use of his opportunities Sunday, stealing third after his second-inning ground-rule double and recording another pilfer after his fielder's choice groundout in the following frame. Moore has now hit safely in three straight, and Sunday marked his third multi-steal tally of the campaign and first since May 24. The versatile veteran is now just one stolen base away from reaching the 20-mark in that category for the third time in the last four seasons.

  • Paul DeJong SS | KC

    White Sox's Paul DeJong: Racking up extra-base hits

    DeJong went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Mariners.

    DeJong blasted a two-run homer in the seventh inning for his 18th home run of the season. That extended his hitting streak to four games, during which he has three extra-base hits, the other two being doubles. DeJong is a potential trade candidate, but the White Sox are giving him near-everyday playing time for the time being at a combination of third base and shortstop.

  • Carlos Correa SS | MIN

    Twins' Carlos Correa: Begins light activity

    Correa (heel) participated in limited hitting drills Saturday and worked out on a treadmill, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. He could soon progress to running on the field.

    Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list July 20 due to right plantar fasciitis. He had been wearing a boot on his right foot, so he's making progress. It sounds like he could still be a week or more away from starting a rehab assignment.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Hamilton is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Hamilton is 3-for-21 with two doubles in seven games since the All-Star break and will sit Sunday against New York lefty Carlos Rodon. Jamie Westbrook will start at the keystone and bat ninth in the series finale.

  • Darell Hernaiz SS | OAK

    Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Solid workload in rehab games

    Hernaiz (ankle) played in back-to-back rehab games for Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday and Saturday, logging eight innings at second base in the former and taking a full allotment of plate appearances as the designated hitter in the latter.

    Hernaiz went a combined 2-for-9 during that stretch and has hit .364 over 24 plate appearances across six rehab games overall. The 22-year-old has also gotten the green light for a pair of steal attempts -- both successful -- during his time in the minors, supporting the notion his previously injured ankle could be back to full strength. Hernaiz appears well on track to be activated from the 60-day injured list at some point early in the coming week.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Drives in two

    Pena went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored Saturday against the Dodgers.

    Pena has recorded a hit in every game since the All-Star break and has an overall hitting streak of nine contests. In that span, he's gone 14-for-34 with six RBI, seven runs scored and two home runs. Pena has had a resurgent season, highlighted by a .284 batting average with only a 16 percent strikeout rate in 424 plate appearances.

  • Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Notches second steal

    Baldwin went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Mariners.

    Baldwin earned the first multi-hit effort of his big-league career, and all three of his doubles in the majors have come over the last two games. He also picked up his second steal. Baldwin is still hitting just .207 over nine contests, but the White Sox appear committed to giving him a long look at second base in the second half. His speed is his best asset, but that won't shine through until he gets on base more consistently.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Blasts homer in third straight game

    Baez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

    Baez has now gone deep in three straight games for the first time since 2022 and the third time overall in his career. After only going deep once in his first 63 games this season, Baez has seemed to have found his power stroke, at least temporarily. The 31-year-old still has a ways to go to be trusted for fantasy purposes with a .491 OPS for the season, but he's shown in the past that he can get hot fast.

  • Blue Jays' Eddinson Paulino: Dealt to Toronto

    The Blue Jays acquired Paulino, infielder Cutter Coffey and right-hander Gilberto Batista from the Red Sox on Saturday in exchange for catcher Danny Jansen, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    Paulino has spent the 2024 season at the Double-A level, posting a .263/.349/.391 slash line with three home runs, 33 runs and 35 RBI in 278 plate appearances. The 21-year-old has played 37 games at third base, 20 at second base and 11 at shortstop this season.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Posts another multi-hit effort

    Volpe went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run and a stolen base in Friday's loss to the Red Sox.

    Volpe put the Yankees on the board in the second inning with a solo shot to center field and added a single in the fifth. The shortstop has three multi-hit performances across his past four games and has hit safely in seven of his past eight contests. Over that stretch, he's batting .344 with two home runs, five RBI, five runs and three stolen bases.
