  • Indians' Francisco Lindor: Tallies two hits, two runs

    Lindor went 2-for-3 with a double, walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Brewers.

    Lindor started slowly this season, recording just 15 knocks in his first 65 at-bats. However, he has enjoyed a strong stretch since Aug. 11, going 30-for-93 (.323) with 10 extra-base hits over that span. In all, the shortstop is slashing a solid .280/.341/.453.

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Opens scoring with solo shot

    Edman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Cubs.

The 25-year-old Edman is slashing .263/.320/.377 with two homers, 14 RBI, 16 runs scored and a stolen base through 30 games.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Dealing with mild hamstring issue

    Crawford is dealing with minor hamstring tightness, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Manager Gabe Kapler revealed Crawford's injury after the game and called the issue "very, very mild." Given Kapler's lack of concern regarding the severity of the issue, Crawford shouldn't miss much time as a result.

  • Luke Williams 2B | ATL

    Phillies' Luke Williams: Nabs spot in roster pool

    The Phillies added Williams to their 60-man roster pool Sunday.

    The 23-year-old utility man will report to the Phillies' alternate training site in Lehigh Valley after spending the 2019 season at Double-A Reading, where he slashed .238/.319/.395 over 504 plate appearances. Given his limited success in the upper levels of the minors along with the fact that he doesn't possess a spot on the 40-man roster, Williams is unlikely to receive a promotion to the big club in September.

    Camargo is not starting Sunday against the Nationals.

    Camargo has swung the bat well of late, collecting eight hits in his last 27 at-bats. However, he'll get a day off Sunday, with Adeiny Hechavarria taking his place at second base and batting ninth.

  • Jose Barrero SS | BAL

    Reds' Jose Garcia: Sitting Sunday

    Garcia is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    The 22-year-old has struggled to find his footing in the big leagues early on, slashing .161/.188/.161 with one stolen base through nine games. He will sit Sunday after five consecutive starts, with Kyle Farmer stepping in at shortstop against right-hander Chad Kuhl.

    Arcia took Nick Wittgren deep in the eighth inning to tie the game at three. It was his third home run of the season, though he has just three additional extra-base hits in 111 plate appearances. Despite his relative lack of production at the plate, Arcia has continued to get the majority of starts at shortstop for the Brewers.

  • Paul DeJong SS | DET

    Cardinals' Paul DeJong: Goes deep in nightcap
