MLB Player News

Mondesi exited Triple-A Omaha's Sunday game with an apparent injury, Storm Chasers radio broadcaster Donny Baarns reports.

Mondesi apparently tweaked something like attempting to get out of the way of an arrant pitch. The details of the injury have not yet been revealed. He'll be considered day-to-day.

Seager is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Manager Dave Roberts will grant his star shortstop a day of rest prior to the All-Star festivities. Enrique Hernandez will draw the start in Seager's absence, batting sixth.

DeJong went 4-for-4 with two RBI from a run-scoring double and a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Mets. He also hit two other two-baggers and scored twice.

The rookie's line is up to .306/.326/.581 following Saturday's effort, which also extended his hitting streak to five games. DeJong has also homered in back-to-back contests and is hitting .435 with seven extra-base hits over his first eight games of July.

Story is out of Sunday's lineup against the White Sox.

Pat Valaika will start at shortstop and hit sixth. Story has been a pretty big disappointment this season, and while he is hitting .265 over his last 25 games, his 36.5 percent strikeout rate and .386 slugging percentage over that stretch do not inspire confidence.

O'Malley (shoulder) went 2-for-2 with a triple, three walks and three runs as the designated hitter for Rookie-level Arizona on Saturday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

The utility man couldn't have asked for a better 2017 debut, and is likely in for at least several more games at the Rookie level before taking his rehab up the organizational ranks. O'Malley slashed .229/.299/.319 with two home runs and 17 RBI over 89 games with the Mariners last season in what was his first taste of extended big-league action. If he remains free of setbacks, O'Malley should be cleared for a return to the big-league club at some point next month, although how much playing time he'll see will largely depend on the club's injury situation at the time.

Anderson hit the game-winning home run Saturday against the Rockies, capping a 2-for-4 night.

He parked it over the center field fence at Coors Field for his second blast in as many games. Anderson was recently stuck in a 2-for-25 slide, but this park has a tendency to cure slumps. While it's promising to see his power return, it's best to put off trusting him fully in most mixed formats until he shows more consistency playing at sea level.

Swanson is not in the lineup Saturday against Washington, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

Swanson takes a seat for the second time in the past four games as Johan Camargo draws another start at shortstop. Manager Brian Snitker has said that he wants to give Camargo as many at-bats as possible while he continues to produce at the plate. Swanson will likely return to the lineup for the final game of the series Sunday.

Bogaerts (hand) is back in the lineup Saturday, starting at shortstop and batting third, Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports.

Bogaerts sat out the past two games while dealing with swelling in his right hand following an HBP, but appears ready to get back to action. It's good news for both the Red Sox and fantasy owners alike, as the shortstop leads the team with a .308 batting average this season to go along with 41 RBI.

Tejada is not starting Saturday's matchup against the Twins, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

The Orioles continue to search for answers in the middle infield and Tejada's absence for three of the past five games indicates he may be on the outside looking in. Jonathan Schoop will move over from second to make his first major-league start at shortstop, enabling Johnny Giavotella to take over at the keystone.

Gordon went 4-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Giants.

Few players can collect hits in bunches the way Gordon can, and the second baseman now has 10 of them in 18 at-bats over his last four games while scoring eight runs. He'll take a .299/.345/.364 slash line into the final Saturday before the All-Star break.
