  • Matt McLain SS | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Suffers rib cage stress reaction

    Reds manager David Bell said Friday that McLain (shoulder) recently suffered a stress reaction in his rib cage, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    McLain had been hoping to begin a rehab assignment Aug. 12 and Bell added Friday that it's possible that happens. The young infielder has been working his way back from left shoulder surgery, which he had back in late March. McLain is hoping to rejoin the Reds at some point before the end of the season.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: Extends hit streak with homer

    Arcia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Marlins.

    He connected on Atlanta's third long ball of the game, launching a Max Meyer fastball over the left-field fence in the third inning. Arcia has hit safely in 12 straight games, a stretch in which the veteran shortstop is slashing .350/.409/.600 with three homers, four runs and six RBI. Thursday's blast was his 10th of the year, the fourth time in his career he's reached double digits in a season.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Two-run shot in loss

    Winn went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Thursday's loss to the Cubs.

    Winn singled in his third trip to the plate before later adding a two-run blast in the top of the seventh to put the Cardinals on top 3-2. It marked the shortstop's third home run in his last seven games and he's now hit safely in four straight. Over the former stretch, Winn is slashing .296 (8-for-27) with six RBI and four runs scored. He's also posted seven multi-hit performances over his last 16 contests.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Makes MLB history

    Witt went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, two runs and two RBI in Thursday's 7-1 victory over Detroit.

    Witt did most of his damage late in the contest, belting a solo homer in the eighth inning and adding a run-scoring double in the ninth. Witt is the first player in MLB history to go 20-20 in each of his first three seasons. He is one of four major-leaguers to reach the 20-20 mark this season.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Reaches three times in win

    Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.

    Swanson continued his recent run of improved play and extended his hitting streak to three games. Over his last 10 contests, the shortstop is batting .343. It's been a disappointing season overall for Swanson, as he's batting just .223 with a .647 OPS, with the former in line to be a career worst.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: On bench against lefty

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

    The lefty-hitting Schneemann will head to the bench while southpaw Trevor Rogers takes the hill for Baltimore. Brayan Rocchio will rejoin the starting nine, covering shortstop in Schneemann's stead.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Activated but not in lineup

    The Tigers activated Baez (personal) from the bereavement list Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Baez has been away this week while tending to other matters but will be active for the beginning of the team's four-game series against the Royals. He's not in Thursday's lineup, as the Tigers are giving Ryan Kreidler a start at shortstop.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: Batting fifth Thursday

    Arcia will start at shortstop and bat fifth in Thursday's game versus the Marlins.

    Atlanta has been forced to juggle its lineup often this season due to injury, but even with that, this is the highest Arcia has batted since May 23. He was batting ninth at the beginning of his current 11-game hit streak, a streak that's seen him sock a couple home runs while posting a .955 OPS.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Drives in three against Tampa

    Edwards went 1-for-3 with three RBI in Wednesday's win over the Rays.

    A sacrifice fly in the third inning and a two-run single in the seventh accounted for half of the Marlins' offense in a 6-2 victory over the team that traded Edwards to Miami in 2022. The 24-year-old shortstop is establishing himself as one of the key players in the Marlins' latest rebuild, slashing a stunning .395/.461/.500 through 24 games in July with a homer, nine steals, 12 RBI and 14 runs.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Enters late, steals base

    Perdomo entered Wednesday's game as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-2 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in a 5-4 win over Washington.

    Perdomo pinch hit for Kevin Newman in the sixth inning against a right-hander and singled in a run. He then stole a base and scored on a single by Corbin Carroll. The steal was Perdomo's second of the season and first in 21 games. He remained in the game, playing the final three innings at shortstop.
