  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Homer, steal in win

    Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-5 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.

    Bogaerts lifted a solo shot in the second inning to get the Padres on the board. This was his third homer since the All-Star break and his eighth long ball of the year. He's batting .271 (19-for-70) since the break, but he's supplied a modest eight RBI in that 17-game span. Overall, the shortstop has a .268/.338/.387 slash line with 39 RBI, 49 runs scored, 24 doubles and 17 steals over 112 contests this season.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Gets on base four times

    Betts went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and three runs scored in Tuesday's 12-6 win over the Cardinals.

    Betts entered Tuesday 0-for-20 over his previous five games. His lack of production has been a hot topic of conversation, but manager Dave Roberts has no plans of dropping Betts in the order. He's now gone a month without a homer, batting just .186 (16-for-86) with four doubles and four RBI over that 22-game sample. Overall, the 32-year-old has a .236/.308/.361 slash line, 11 homers, 48 RBI, 66 runs scored, 16 doubles, one triple and eight stolen bases through 104 contests this season.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Smacks eighth homer

    Montgomery went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mariners.

    All eight of those homers have come over his last 12 games dating back to July 22 versus the Rays. The infield prospect struggled a bit initially when he joined the major-league roster, but he's taken little time to find a groove. He's now batting .256 and slugging .567 with 24 RBI, 12 runs scored and no stolen bases across his first 26 contests. Montgomery has helped fill in for Chase Meidroth (thumb) at shortstop, but there should be room for Montgomery in the lineup on a near-everyday basis even when the White Sox have a fully healthy infield.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Knocks 18th homer

    Adames went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win against the Pirates.

    Adames ripped a two-run shot in the fifth inning and added a single in the ninth. It was his 18th long ball of the year and his ninth in 29 games since the start of July. Tuesday was his first multi-hit performance since July 28; he went 3-for-25 (.120) in six games between those two contests. Adames is now slashing .232/.318/.412 with 38 extra-base hits and 61 RBI in 113 games.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Not starting Tuesday

    Kim isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    After going 3-for-14 with two walks in four games since his return from the injured list, Kim will grab a seat on the bench Tuesday while Taylor Walls starts at shortstop.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Out again Tuesday

    Meidroth (thumb) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Seattle.

    Despite entering Sunday's contest as a defensive replacement, Meidroth seemingly still isn't quite ready to return to the starting nine after taking a pitch off his thumb last week. Josh Rojas will pick up another start at second base as a result while Brooks Baldwin covers third.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Starting after lineup adjustment

    Baez is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday versus the Twins.

    Gleyber Torres was slated to start at second base Tuesday, but he was scratched from the lineup due to left forearm tightness. Zach McKinstry is the starting second baseman after being originally set to start at short.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Playing catch and running

    Wilson (forearm) has been playing catch and running but has yet to be cleared for a hitting progression, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Wilson hasn't played in nearly two weeks as he recovers from a fractured left forearm. There is no timetable for the rookie shortstop's return to action, but his status should become clearer once he's ready to ramp up his hitting. With Wilson sidelined, Darell Hernaiz has been handling shortstop for the Athletics of late.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Taking seat Tuesday

    Baez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

    Baez had started each of the previous five contests but will get a breather Tuesday. Zach McKinstry is at shortstop, and Matt Vierling will cover center field for the Tigers.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Pops homer Monday

    Winn went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers.

    Winn continues to hit well since the All-Star break -- he's gone 21-for-60 (.350) over his last 16 games. His homer Monday was his first since June 24 versus the Cubs. The shortstop has struggled to tap into power this year, logging eight homers and 24 doubles through 101 games after posting 15 long balls and 32 two-baggers over 150 games a year ago. Winn has added a .270/.325/.395 slash line, six stolen bases, 42 RBI and 60 runs scored in 2025.
