  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Swipes bag in multi-hit game

    Story went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

    The 32-year-old shortstop posted his fifth multi-hit game in July, and the steal was his fourth of the month. Story should continue to serve as a key cog in Boston's lineup going forward, and he's been a five-category fantasy producer since the beginning of June. Over his last 42 games, Story is batting .302 (48-for-159) with eight home runs, 36 RBI, 28 runs scored and eight stolen bases.

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Set to face live pitching

    Pena (ribs) is expected to face live pitching in the coming days, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Pena has already taken on-field batting practice as a part of his ramp-up in Florida, and he's now set to face real pitching "in the next few days," according to manager Joe Espada. The shortstop has been sidelined since late June while dealing with a small rib fracture, but facing live pitching is a substantial step towards returning to action.

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Two more two-baggers

    Bichette went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Giants.

    The shortstop has unleashed a barrage of two-baggers over the last couple weeks. Bichette has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, slashing .362/.423/.574 over that stretch with seven doubles, a homer, six RBI and seven runs.

The shortstop is riding an eight-game hitting streak while hitting safely in 11 of his past 12 contests overall, with the latter stretch including six extra-base hits, five RBI, 16 runs scored and four steals. For the season, he's slashing .281/.328/.488 with 15 home runs, 35 RBI, 65 runs scored and 18 stolen bases across 344 plate appearances.

    Astros' Zack Short: Scratched with rib soreness

    Short was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners due to rib soreness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Short was hit by a pitch during Saturday's contest and will be withheld from Sunday's starting nine after initially being penciled in at shortstop. Mauricio Dubon will cover shortstop for Houston while Shay Whitcomb starts at third base.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Swipes second bag

    Kim went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base Saturday against the Orioles.

He tallied his second multi-hit performance across eight starts on the campaign and also swiped his second bag in three tries. Kim has been productive with one home run, three RBI and three runs scored across 29 plate appearances.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Swats 10th homer

    Wilson went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run against Cleveland in an 8-2 victory Saturday.

    Wilson took part in a late Athletics power barrage with a two-run blast in the ninth inning. The rookie phenom wasn't projected to hit for much power coming into the campaign after failing to go deep over 103 plate appearances last year, but he's shown a bit of pop with 10 home runs through 89 contests. Add those to a .327/.369/.461 slash line, 44 RBI, 45 runs and five steals, and Wilson has emerged as a leading contender for AL Rookie of the Year honors.
