  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Out of Thursday's lineup

    Camargo is not in the lineup versus Washington on Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Camargo will receive a breather for the first time since the All-Star break as Charlie Culberson gets the nod at third base during the series finale. Dating back to the start of the second half, Camargo is hitting .277/.319/.523 with four home runs and 11 RBI in 17 games.

  • Indians' Francisco Lindor: Plays hero with walkoff homer against Twins

    Lindor went 2-for-5 with a double, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Twins.

    The All-Star shortstop ended the game with one swing of the bat, taking Trevor Hildenberger deep on the first pitch he saw for a walkoff shot in the ninth inning -- Lindor's 29th homer of the year and MLB-leading 67th extra-base hit.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Goes deep in losing effort

    Anderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Wednesday's loss to the Yankees.

    The 25-year-old blasted his 15th homer of the year, sending a solo shot to right in the fifth inning. To go along with a .240/.288/.402 line, Anderson is tied for fifth in the American League with 22 steals, though he's only swiped one bag since July 8.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Three hits, homer in win

    Arcia went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Padres.

    Arcia deposited a solo shot to center in the fifth inning for his third homer of the season, giving the Brewers a six-run lead in the process. The 24-year-old has struggled mightily for much of the year -- he's hitting just .210 -- but he's gotten off to a strong start in August. In 13 at-bats in the month, Arcia is hitting .462 with a pair of extra-base hits and a stolen base.

  • Royals' Adalberto Mondesi: Goes deep in win

    Mondesi went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and two strikeouts in Wednesday's win over the Cubs.

    Mondesi's seventh-inning blast broke the game open, turning a two-run lead into a 5-0 margin in the eventual 9-0 win. The 23-year-old's homer was his fourth of the season, but he's mired in a 5-for-31 (.161) stretch that's dropped his slash line on the year to .259/.271/.414.

  • Royals' Rosell Herrera: Takes seat Wednesday

    Herrera is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Cubs.

    He has been in the lineup for 10 of the Royals' last 11 games, hitting .310/.333/.452 with one home run and just four strikeouts in 42 at-bats over that stretch. Hunter Dozier will start at the hot corner and hit fourth.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Braves' Dansby Swanson: On bench against Nationals

    Swanson is out of the starting lineup against Washington on Wednesday.

    Swanson will receive a breather after going 0-for-7 with four strikeouts during Tuesday's twin bill. Johan Camargo will start at shortstop while Charlie Culberson draws the assignment at third base for Wednesday's tilt.

  • Paul DeJong SS | DET

    Cardinals' Paul DeJong: Launches two-run blast in win

    DeJong went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in a win over the Marlins on Tuesday.

    It was a night of hard contact for DeJong, whose 370-foot shot with Jedd Gyorko aboard in the seventh erased a 2-0 deficit. DeJong has been in the midst of an atypical power drought over the last three months, a span that also includes a significant absence due to thumb surgery. Prior to Tuesday's round tripper, the 25-year-old had left the yard just once in the 31 games he'd played since May 12, but he certainly has the pop in his bat to make up ground in a hurry moving forward.

  • Mariners' Dee Gordon: Laces three-bagger in loss

    Gordon went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run in a loss to the Rangers on Tuesday. He's 2-for-9 in two games since rejoining the lineup after a two-game absence due to an ankle injury.

    Gordon seemingly corroborated the fitness of his ankle by notching his fifth triple of the season. The veteran speedster is coming off a .323 average in July, but his .303 on-base percentage for the season remains pedestrian, especially for a leadoff man. Nevertheless, Gordon is slated to retain the everyday second base job despite the imminent return of Robinson Cano (suspension) -- the latter's inability to play in any postseason games as a byproduct of his 80-game PED ban means Gordon needs to stay sharp at the keystone in advance of a potential playoff appearance.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Delivers walkoff homer

    Adames went 2-for-4 with a walkoff solo home run Tuesday in the Rays' 4-3 win over the Orioles.

    Adames teed off on Orioles reliever Miguel Castro on a 434-foot blast to left field to deliver the Rays a win and finish with his second multi-hit effort since being promoted back to the big leagues July 22. Though Adames has slashed an underwhelming .218/.269/.346 across 145 plate appearances with the Rays, he'll have a clear path to a full-time role at shortstop the rest of the season with Adeiny Hechavarria now in Pittsburgh and Daniel Robertson (thumb) likely shut down for the next 6-to-8 weeks.
