  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Continues homer binge

    Seager went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 13-1 win over the Angels.

    Seager went deep for the second consecutive game with his solo shot in the sixth inning. It was the shortstop's 13th of the season and sixth in the last 11 contests. The two-hit night extended a hit streak to 13 games, during which he's 16-for-48 (.333) with nine extra-base hits, 12 walks, 12 RBI, one steal and 15 runs scored.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Swats homer in win

    Rocchio went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-6 extra-inning win over the Astros.

    Rocchio connected for his first homer of the season in the fourth inning, which gave the Guardians a 6-1 lead. The shortstop didn't do much initially after being recalled July 1, but he's gone 4-for-6 with two doubles, a home run and three RBI in two games to start the series against Houston. Rocchio will continue to get the majority of the starts at shortstop while Gabriel Arias (ankle) recovers on the 10-day injured list.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: One hit in return

    Kim went 1-for-4 on Tuesday against the Tigers.

    Kim made his season debut Friday but was out for the rest of the Rays' weekend series due to a calf issue. He returned Tuesday, playing shortstop and hitting fifth. Kim's lone hit was a single to lead off the second inning, but most importantly, he came out of the game healthy.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Managing bruised hand

    Wilson was diagnosed with a left hand contusion after getting hit by a pitch in the bottom of the first inning during Tuesday's 10-1 win over Atlanta, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.

    Wilson was pulled from Tuesday's contest immediately after getting plunked, but he seems to have escaped with little more than a bruise on his hand after X-rays returned negative. The 23-year-old shortstop should be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, though the Athletics may still give him a day or two off to heal.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Drives in three runs

    Edwards went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's victory against Cincinnati.

    Edwards knocked a two-run double and scored a run during Miami's back-breaking seven-run third inning. He later brought in another run with his sixth-inning single. Edwards has terrorized the Reds in the last two games, going 5-for-9 with three doubles. He has multiple hits in 12 of 31 games since the start of June, going 42-for-126 (.333) in the process. Edwards' slash line is up to .292/.360/.339 with 13 extra-base hits and 37 runs scored through 74 games.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Drives in four runs

    Story went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two total runs scored in Tuesday's win over Colorado.

    Story broke a scoreless tie with his RBI single in the sixth inning before ripping a three-run shot in the seventh. He's gone deep four times in his last eight games and eight times since the start of June. The veteran shortstop ended May with an abysmal .585 OPS but has since gone 40-for-127 (.315) with 13 multi-hit performances in 33 games. Story is now slashing .252/.291/.414 with 26 extra-base hits and 57 RBI.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Removed after HBP

    Wilson was removed from Tuesday's game against Atlanta after getting hit on the left arm by a pitch, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.

    A 97-mph fastball connected with Wilson's arm during his first-inning plate appearance, immediately forcing the young shortstop out of the game. The A's will presumably take him in for imaging, and an update on his status should be available in the near future. Max Schuemann entered the game as Wilson's replacement and would be the favorite to start at shortstop if the latter needs to miss any amount of time.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Good to go Tuesday

    Kim (calf) is starting at shortstop and batting fifth Tuesday against the Tigers, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Kim sat out the previous three games due to a right calf strain, but he'll rejoin the starting nine after Monday's team off day. After recovering from shoulder surgery and missing the first three-plus months of the season, the 29-year-old lasted just seven innings during his season debut Friday before suffering the calf injury.

  • Juan Brito SS | CLE

    Guardians' Juan Brito: Back on Triple-A IL

    Brito was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday with a left hamstring strain.

    Brito just returned from right thumb surgery less than two weeks ago and now he will be sidelined with a new injury. It's not clear at this point how much time he might miss. Brito has slashed .256/.357/.463 with three homers in 24 games with Columbus this season.

  • Cam Devanney 3B | PIT

    Royals' Cam Devanney: Contract selected

    The Royals selected Devanney's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

    The 28-year-old will receive his first taste of the majors as Mark Canha (elbow) heads to the injured list. Devanney isn't likely to see regular playing time while up with Kansas City and should fill a utility role.
