  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Contributes multiple ways in win

    Arias went 0-for-1 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 9-4 win over Miami.

    Arias contributed in various ways to Cleveland's win. He delivered one run on a groundout and drove in the game-winning tally on a sacrifice fly. The shortstop was later hit by a pitch, stole second base and scored the team's final run. Arias has maintained a tenuous grip on the starting shortstop job since returning from an ankle injury in late July, going 15-for-59 (.254) with three home runs, 14 RBI, two steals and six runs scored over 17 contests.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Adjusting to leadoff spot

    Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Rockies.

    Perdomo was moved to leadoff Tuesday and has reached base seven times in 14 plate appearances while scoring six runs over the last three games. He's currently riding a 15-game on-base streak, during which he's slashing .400/.500/.636 with three home runs, seven RBI, 12 walks and 16 runs scored.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Homers, steals base

    Lindor went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base during Thursday's 4-3 loss to Atlanta.

    Lindor flashed his speed and power during Thursday's loss, recording his 22nd homer of the campaign and his 19th stolen base. He's now logged back-to-back multi-hit games after enduring a 1-for-23 (.043) stretch at the plate. The 31-year-old shortstop is slashing .249/.320/.435 in 540 plate appearances this season.

  • Yankees' Andrew Velazquez: Signs MiLB deal with Yanks

    The Yankees signed Velazquez to a minor-league contract Thursday.

    New York just released Velazquez from his minors deal earlier this month, but he's returning to the organization and will rejoin Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He slashed .244/.315/.342 with four home runs, 32 RBI, 42 runs scored, 23 stolen bases and a 27:74 BB:K across 311 plate appearances with the affiliate prior to his release.

  • Conrad Cason SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Conrad Cason: Undergoes Tommy John surgery

    Cason underwent Tommy John surgery this week, Andrew Parker of Beyond the Monster reports.

    Cason pitched in just one game in the rookie-level Florida Complex League back in May and had been sidelined ever since due to arm fatigue. The 19-year-old now faces a lengthy rehab that will likely keep him off the mound until the 2027 campaign. Cason was an eighth-round pick in the 2024 Draft and is a two-way prospect at shortstop and pitcher.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Cleared for rehab assignment

    Wilson (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Wilson was cleared for full baseball activities earlier this week and is now ready to test things out in a game setting. The rookie shortstop has been shelved since late July with a fractured left forearm. Because Wilson has only been sidelined for a few weeks, his rehab assignment should be brief.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: On base four times in loss

    Lindor went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's loss to Atlanta.

    The shortstop has had trouble making a consistent impact with his bat since the All-Star break, but Lindor is at least still getting on base. Through 11 games so far in August, he's compiled a .238/.373/.381 slash line with three doubles, one homer, one steal, five RBI and 10 runs.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Pops 13th homer

    Pena went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Red Sox.

    Pena led off the home half of the first inning with his 13th home run of the season and second since he was activated from the injured list at the start of August. In 11 games since his return, he's also chipped in five RBI, four runs scored and two stolen bases while hitting .289.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Homers in loss

    Arias went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 13-4 loss to the Marlins.

    Arias tied the game at 4-4 with a three-run blast off Eury Perez in the fourth inning. In 16 games since returning from the injured list July 26, the 25-year-old Arias has gone 15-for-58 (.259 average) with three homers, 12 RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base. For the year, he's slashing .236/.290/.393 with nine home runs, 43 RBI, 33 runs scored and four steals across 342 plate appearances.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Enters starting nine

    Betts will start at shortstop and bat second Wednesday against the Angels.

    Betts was left off the initial lineup card the Dodgers handed in Wednesday, but he'll end up back in the starting nine and aim to extend his hitting streak to eight games. Max Muncy will step out of the lineup to make room for Betts, shifting Alex Freeland to third base and Miguel Rojas to second.
