  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Homers in win Tuesday

    Swanson went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Tigers.

    The Cubs only mustered five total hits, but Swanson provided the big jolt of the night as he popped his 10th home run of the season and first since July 11. The shortstop had at least 20 long balls in each of the last three years, though he's running out of time to reach that mark in 2024. On a more positive note, Swanson is at least batting .302 this month.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Goes on injured list

    The Padres placed Kim on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder inflammation.

    Kim received somewhat favorable MRI results after he jammed his shoulder during Sunday's game against Colorado, but the team ultimately decided to put him on the shelf after further evaluation. Tyler Wade will presumably take over as the Padres' primary shortstop while Kim is out, and Matthew Batten will come up from Triple-A to provide additional depth in the infield.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Rojas is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

    Rojas started the previous five games and will receive a day off after going 7-for-17 with a double, two RBI and three runs during that stretch. Tommy Edman will shift to shortstop while Kevin Kiermaier starts in center field.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Remaining on bench Tuesday

    Kim (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    The 28-year-old jammed his right shoulder during Sunday's contest and received somewhat favorable MRI results Monday, but he'll sit Tuesday for the second consecutive. It remains to be seen if Kim will require a trip to the injured list as he continues to be evaluated. Tyler Wade is receiving another start at shortstop Tuesday for the Friars.

  • Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Diamondbacks optioned Alexander to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Luis Guillorme, who was signed Tuesday. Alexander's latest stint in the majors lasted less than a week and he went hitless in 10 plate appearances.

  • Kevin Newman 3B | LAA

    Diamondbacks' Kevin Newman: Fills in second base again

    Newman started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 9-6 win over Miami.

    Newman filled in at second base for the injured Ketel Marte (ankle), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. Newman, who had seen a spike in playing time while Marte was day-to-day for the previous 10 days, should be the primary second baseman while Marte is unavailable.

  • Luis Vazquez SS | BAL

    Cubs' Luis Vazquez: Returns to action at Triple-A

    Triple-A Iowa reinstated Vazquez (undisclosed) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

    Vazquez hadn't seen any action since July 6 due to an unspecified injury prior to being activated. He's looked sharp at the dish in four games since, going 5-for-14 with three home runs.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Nick Ahmed: DFA'd by Dodgers

    Ahmed was designated for assignment by Los Angeles on Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Ahmed has seen his playing time dwindle over the last few weeks, totaling only 24 at-bats so far in August. Following the return of Tommy Edman (wrist) and Max Muncy (oblique) from the injured list Monday, the club has elected to send the veteran shortstop to the waiver wire.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Could need more imaging

    Padres manager Mike Shildt said Monday that an MRI on Kim's right shoulder came back somewhat favorable, but the results are still being evaluated and it's possible he could undergo additional imaging, Annie Heilbrunn of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Kim was removed from Sunday's game versus the Rockies after jamming his right shoulder while diving back into first base on a pickoff attempt. He's not playing Monday against the Twins and the Padres are still weighing a potential stint on the injured list. Tyler Wade is handling shortstop Monday and could be in line for regular reps there if Kim needs to miss additional time.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Absent from Monday's lineup

    Kim (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Kim had to depart Sunday's game versus the Rockies with a jammed right shoulder and was set to undergo an MRI. The results of those tests are not yet known, but he will miss at least one start and possibly more. Tyler Wade is subbing in at shortstop for the series opener against the Twins.
