    Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Back from 10-day IL

    The Rockies activated Ritter (finger) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Ritter took a pitch off his right middle finger July 19 and required stitches. In a corresponding move, the Rockies optioned Adael Amador to Triple-A Albuquerque. Ritter has slashed .238/.291/.347 with one home run, 12 RBI, 13 runs scored, one stolen base and a 7:35 BB:K across his first 113 big-league plate appearances this season.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Adjusting to leadoff spot

    Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Rockies.

    Perdomo was moved to leadoff Tuesday and has reached base seven times in 14 plate appearances while scoring six runs over the last three games. He's currently riding a 15-game on-base streak, during which he's slashing .400/.500/.636 with three home runs, seven RBI, 12 walks and 16 runs scored.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Homers, steals base

    Lindor went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base during Thursday's 4-3 loss to Atlanta.

    Lindor flashed his speed and power during Thursday's loss, recording his 22nd homer of the campaign and his 19th stolen base. He's now logged back-to-back multi-hit games after enduring a 1-for-23 (.043) stretch at the plate. The 31-year-old shortstop is slashing .249/.320/.435 in 540 plate appearances this season.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: On base four times in loss

    Lindor went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's loss to Atlanta.

    The shortstop has had trouble making a consistent impact with his bat since the All-Star break, but Lindor is at least still getting on base. Through 11 games so far in August, he's compiled a .238/.373/.381 slash line with three doubles, one homer, one steal, five RBI and 10 runs.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Enters starting nine

    Betts will start at shortstop and bat second Wednesday against the Angels.

    Betts was left off the initial lineup card the Dodgers handed in Wednesday, but he'll end up back in the starting nine and aim to extend his hitting streak to eight games. Max Muncy will step out of the lineup to make room for Betts, shifting Alex Freeland to third base and Miguel Rojas to second.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Receiving break Wednesday

    Betts is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Betts has found his groove at the plate recently with a .400 average (12-for-30) over the past seven games, but he'll take a seat for the series finale in Anaheim. Miguel Rojas will receive a start at shortstop Wednesday for the Dodgers.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Struggles continue Tuesday

    Adames went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Padres.

    Adames went hitless for a fourth consecutive game, marking his longest streak without a hit since early June. The 29-year-old shortstop has struggled in August, slashing .111/.184/.244 with five runs scored, four RBI and two home runs across 49 plate appearances. Overall, he's now slashing .225/.311/.396 with 69 runs scored, 61 RBI, 18 home runs and four stolen bases over 508 plate appearances.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Scores, swipes base in loss

    Swanson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

    While Chicago struggled to get anything going with only four singles and the one run as a team, Swanson still managed to have a productive night from a fantasy perspective. The shortstop is batting .297 over his last 10 games with two home runs and two stolen bases. On the season, Swanson is slashing .253/.301/.415, and he's chipped in 18 long balls and 10 steals. It's the fifth time in his MLB career that he's reached double figures in both categories.

  • Ryan Ritter SS | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Plays first rehab game

    Ritter (finger) went 1-for-4 with two RBI in his first rehab game with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

    Ritter is finally ready to play in games again after going on the 10-day injured list nearly four weeks ago with a significant laceration on his right middle finger. He should not require too many rehab contests before rejoining the Rockies' active roster, and with Thairo Estrada (hamstring) done for the season, Ritter could take over as the Rockies' regular second baseman.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Batting leadoff Tuesday

    Perdomo is batting leadoff and starting at shortstop for Tuesday's game versus Texas.

    Manager Torey Lovullo has opted to flip-flop Perdomo and Corbin Carroll in the order, moving Perdomo up from third to leadoff. Both players have been on a tear of late, but Carroll has particularly shown more power, with four home runs over his last five games. Perdomo is slashing .435/.536/.652 with one home run, three RBI, eight runs scored and a 5:3 BB:K over the last seven days. Perdomo's strong on-base skills make him an ideal candidate for the leadoff spot.
