    Diamondbacks' Andrew Pintar: Out with ankle injury

    Pintar has been on the 60-day injured list with Single-A Visalia due to an ankle injury, Baseball America reports.

    He rolled his ankle charging a ball on April 25, and it was apparently a pretty serious sprain for him to miss over two months. Pintar slashed .241/.328/.370 with one home run and two steals in 14 games at Single-A prior to the injury.

  • Jacob Amaya SS | ARI

    Marlins' Jacob Amaya: Optioned back to Triple-A

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Belts 15th homer

    Lindor went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.

    He launched his 15th homer of the year off Zack Wheeler in the fifth inning, helping to build a lead the bullpen would squander in the eighth. Lindor is finally beginning to catch fire, going 8-for-24 (.333) over the last seven games with two doubles, three homers, six walks, three steals, seven runs and eight RBI, but on the season he still carries a tepid .749 OPS.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Abrams went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Padres.

    The 22-year-old shortstop wrapped up a three-game series against San Diego, the team that drafted him in the first round in 2019, having gone 4-for-11 with a pair of doubles. Abrams is picking up the pace as the All-Star break approaches, but on the season he still carries a lackluster .235/.279/.395 slash line with seven homers, eight steals, 28 runs and 33 RBI in 70 games.

    Marte missed time over the first half of June due to a hamstring strain, but he's been back in action recently and has appeared in three games at Double-A Chattanooga over the past few days. The 21-year-old has slashed .281/.356/.464 with eight homers, 37 runs, 25 RBI and 10 stolen bases over 50 games at Chattanooga this year and will now get a chance to compete against a higher level of competition.
