  • Brett Wisely 2B | ATL

    Giants' Brett Wisely: Picks up second steal

    Wisely went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Dodgers.

    Wisely has offered little production in July with no home runs, three RBI, two runs scored and one steal on three attempts over 17 games. The infielder also has a 2:17 BB:K this month. The emergence of Tyler Fitzgerald at shortstop has left Wisely to compete with Thairo Estrada for playing time at second base, a situation where Wisely has the platoon advantage.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Reaches four times in loss

    Witt went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Witt took a one-day break from cranking out three-hit efforts Tuesday, then got right back to it Wednesday with his fifth such game in six contests since the All-Star break. The shortstop entered the break hitting .323 on the year and has lifted that already stellar mark to .344 with his recent surge. He's posted a .983 OPS, 18 home runs, 23 stolen bases, 70 RBI, 83 runs scored, 28 doubles and 10 triples as one of the best five-category producers this season.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: On bench in series finale

    Caballero is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Caballero has moved back into a near-everyday role in the Tampa Bay infield since Yandy Diaz (personal) was placed on the restricted list Saturday. Though he'll cede his spot in the lineup to Amed Rosario in the series finale in Toronto, Caballero started in each of the Rays' previous six contests, going 4-for-22 with a home run, a stolen base, a walk, two RBI and two runs.

  • Paul DeJong SS | NYY

    White Sox's Paul DeJong: Absent from lineup

    DeJong is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Rangers.

    DeJong will sit out Thursday's matinee after starting each of the first three games of the series. Nick Senzel will occupy third base for the White Sox.

  • Luis Almeyda SS | BAL

    Orioles' Luis Almeyda: Dealing with shoulder issue

    Almedya was removed from his game Thursday in the rookie-level Florida Complex League due to right shoulder discomfort, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Almeyda's 2023 season was cut short after he required surgery on his left shoulder last August, but he's now dealing with an injury to the other shoulder. The Orioles will likely evaluate Almeyda over the next few days before providing further clarity on the severity of his injury. Heading into Thursday, Almeyda had produced a .201/.339/.318 slash line with five home runs and 12 stolen bases across 189 plate appearances in the FCL on the season.

  • Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL

    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Extends hitting streak

    Tovar went 3-for-6 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored Wednesday against the Red Sox.

    Tovar continued his hot stretch at the plate. He homered in the first inning and has gone deep five times in his last six starts. Tovar also has an 11-game hitting streak -- six of which have come on the road -- during which he's gone 22-for-51 with 12 RBI and 10 runs scored.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Homer, four hits in win

    Seager went 4-for-5 with a double, a homer and three runs scored in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

    Seager got the Rangers on the board with a solo shot off Chris Flexen in the first inning and then came around to score again in the fifth on an Adolis Garcia double to tie the game at 2-2. The shortstop went on to tally four hits on the night, something he hadn't done since March 30 against the Cubs, raising his average to .269 on the season and .311 in the month of July. Seager was just 1-for-14 since the All-Star break heading into Wednesday's contest, while the long ball was his fourth this month. The three runs scored also marked a season high for the veteran infielder.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Tallies three hits Wednesday

    Edwards went 3-for-3 with a walk, a run and an RBI in a 6-3 win against Baltimore on Wednesday.

    Edwards had seven multi-hit performances through 21 games coming into Wednesday, but his three-hit effort was his first of the campaign. The shortstop is now battling a sizzling .361 over 72 at-bats, though he's yet to go deep. Edwards has a 12:14 BB:K across 85 plate appearances and has four thefts, so he's an intriguing fantasy target for managers needing a boost in batting average, OBP and/or stolen bases.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Powers offense with two homers

    Lindor went 3-for-6 with two home runs and five RBI in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Yankees.

    For the second time in three games, Lindor crushed multiple homers. His outburst Wednesday was the driving force in the Mets' blowout win. The shortstop has done it all in July, batting .308 (24-for-78) with eight homers, 20 RBI, 15 runs scored and five stolen bases over 20 contests this month. The surge has him up to a .259/.338/.479 slash line with 21 homers, 60 RBI, 68 runs scored and 20 steals in 101 games this year. Lindor is the second member of the 20-20 club this year, joining Shohei Ohtani.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Big day in Wednesday's win

    De La Cruz went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, two additional runs scored and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 9-4 win over Atlanta.

    After singling and swiping his 50th bag of the season in the first inning, De La Cruz took Allan Winans deep in the third for his 18th long ball. The 22-year-old shortstop did commit two more errors in wet conditions, giving him 20 on the year, but that's about the only blemish on his season so far. In addition to leading the majors with 51 steals, De La Cruz has an 11-game hit streak going in which he's batting .378 (17-for-45) with five doubles, a triple and three homers.
