  • Ethan Holliday SS | COL

    Rockies' Ethan Holliday: Making Single-A debut Tuesday

    Holliday will make his Rockies organizational debut with Single-A Fresno on Tuesday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    The Rockies used the fourth overall pick on Holliday in last month's First-Year Player Draft, and he's set to make his organizational debut with the team Tuesday. The Grizzlies have 21 games left in their season, and the 18-year-old Holliday will get a taste of professional ball before the conclusion of the 2025 season.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Deposits two-run blast

    Perdomo went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 loss against the Rangers.

    Perdomo extended the Diamondbacks' lead to five with a two-run homer in the third inning, though the team ultimately gave up the lead and fell in extra innings. The switch-hitting shortstop has been locked in to start August, reaching base in all 10 games this month and riding an eight-game hitting streak.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Tallies two more hits Sunday

    Swanson went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Cardinals.

    Swanson extended his hitting streak to four games, and he has five hits across his last two contests. The Chicago shortstop is now slashing .252/.299/.416 with 18 home runs, 55 RBI and 66 runs scored across 115 games this season, which are in line with his stats from last year. Swanson has also swiped nine bases, though that's a step back at this point after he stole 19 bases in 2024.

  • Pirates' Isiah Kiner-Falefa: Tallies three hits

    Kiner-Falefa went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Reds.

    Kiner-Falefa has started seven of Pittsburgh's last eight games at third base, with Jared Triolo serving as the primary shortstop. While he provides very little power, Kiner-Falefa has performed well across his last 10 starts by collecting 13 hits across 39 at-bats with eight RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases. While Liover Peguero has slowly begun to work his way into more playing time, Triolo looks more likely to be at risk of losing starts relative to Kiner-Falefa.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Swipes bag in win

    De La Cruz went 2-for-5 with a walk, one RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 14-8 win over the Pirates.

    De La Cruz opened the scoring with an RBI single in the third inning before stealing his 31st base of the season in the seventh. It was the superstar's first two-hit game of August, as he broke out of a 5-for-32 slump through the month's first eight contests. For the year, he's slashing .277/.353/.467 with 19 home runs, 74 RBI, 82 runs scored and the aforementioned 31 steals across 513 plate appearances.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Goes yard Sunday

    Abrams went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 8-0 win over San Francisco.

    Abrams lifted his 15th homer of the campaign, swatting a two-run shot off Justin Verlander in the second frame. The outing snapped a minor drought at the plate, as Abrams entered the contest with just three hits in his last 30 at-bats. The shortstop is slashing .268/.333/.457 in 458 plate appearances this season.

  • Jett Williams SS | MIL

    Mets' Jett Williams: Joining Triple-A

    The Mets promoted Williams from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.

    Williams will move up to Triple-A after slashing .281/.390/.477 with 10 home runs and 32 stolen bases over 96 games with Binghamton this season. Regarded as one of the Mets' top prospects, the 21-year-old Williams likely won't be in the mix for anything more than a September call-up, but he could emerge as an everyday player for the big club at some point in 2026.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Racks up three more hits

    Tovar went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Tovar went 5-for-12 over this three-game series versus Arizona, though he supplied just one RBI in that stretch. He's up to five multi-hit efforts in August, batting .405 (15-for-37) over nine contests this month. The shortstop is up to a .284/.324/.468 slash line with six home runs, four stolen bases, 20 RBI and 29 runs scored over 216 plate appearances. His .792 OPS is the highest it has been since May 26.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Reaches 10-homer mark

    Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

    Bogaerts had a big game against his former team. He has homered three times in his last four games, putting him at 10 long balls on the year, one shy of his total from last season. The shortstop has added 18 steals, 42 RBI, 53 runs scored, 25 doubles and a .271/.340/.403 slash line through 115 contests. He has six multi-hit efforts over his last 15 games and looks to be finding more consistency at the plate since the All-Star break.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Notches steal in loss

    Tovar went 2-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    This was Tovar's fourth multi-hit effort over eight games in August. He's now batting .364 (12-for-33) for the month while adding six doubles, five RBI and two steals. Overall, the shortstop appears to be settling in nicely during the second half after an injury-plagued first three months of the season. He's now slashing .274/.316/.452 with six homers, 20 RBI, 27 runs scored and four steals over 50 contests in 2025.
