  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Drives in three runs

    Edwards went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's victory against Cincinnati.

    Edwards knocked a two-run double and scored a run during Miami's back-breaking seven-run third inning. He later brought in another run with his sixth-inning single. Edwards has terrorized the Reds in the last two games, going 5-for-9 with three doubles. He has multiple hits in 12 of 31 games since the start of June, going 42-for-126 (.333) in the process. Edwards' slash line is up to .292/.360/.339 with 13 extra-base hits and 37 runs scored through 74 games.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Drives in four runs

    Story went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two total runs scored in Tuesday's win over Colorado.

    Story broke a scoreless tie with his RBI single in the sixth inning before ripping a three-run shot in the seventh. He's gone deep four times in his last eight games and eight times since the start of June. The veteran shortstop ended May with an abysmal .585 OPS but has since gone 40-for-127 (.315) with 13 multi-hit performances in 33 games. Story is now slashing .252/.291/.414 with 26 extra-base hits and 57 RBI.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Removed after HBP

    Wilson was removed from Tuesday's game against Atlanta after getting hit on the left arm by a pitch, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.

    A 97-mph fastball connected with Wilson's arm during his first-inning plate appearance, immediately forcing the young shortstop out of the game. The A's will presumably take him in for imaging, and an update on his status should be available in the near future. Max Schuemann entered the game as Wilson's replacement and would be the favorite to start at shortstop if the latter needs to miss any amount of time.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: Good to go Tuesday

    Kim (calf) is starting at shortstop and batting fifth Tuesday against the Tigers, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Kim sat out the previous three games due to a right calf strain, but he'll rejoin the starting nine after Monday's team off day. After recovering from shoulder surgery and missing the first three-plus months of the season, the 29-year-old lasted just seven innings during his season debut Friday before suffering the calf injury.

  • Juan Brito SS | CLE

    Guardians' Juan Brito: Back on Triple-A IL

    Brito was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday with a left hamstring strain.

    Brito just returned from right thumb surgery less than two weeks ago and now he will be sidelined with a new injury. It's not clear at this point how much time he might miss. Brito has slashed .256/.357/.463 with three homers in 24 games with Columbus this season.

  • Cam Devanney 3B | PIT

    Royals' Cam Devanney: Contract selected

    The Royals selected Devanney's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

    The 28-year-old will receive his first taste of the majors as Mark Canha (elbow) heads to the injured list. Devanney isn't likely to see regular playing time while up with Kansas City and should fill a utility role.

  • Joseph Ortiz 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Re-entering lineup Tuesday

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Ortiz will return to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Milwaukee held the right-handed-hitting Ortiz out of the lineup in both of the past two games while the Brewers opposed right-handed starters Edward Cabrera and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, allowing Andruw Monasterio to pick up a pair of starts at shortstop. The consecutive benchings came after Ortiz had fallen into a 4-for-29 slump at the dish over his previous nine starts, which prompted Murphy to criticize the 26-year-old's plate approach when he spoke to McCalvy prior to Monday's game. The skipper didn't suggest that Ortiz was at any major risk of losing out on an everyday role, and the infielder should benefit from a matchup with a lefty (Clayton Kershaw) in his return to the lineup Tuesday.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Three more hits Monday

    Edwards went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Monday's win over the Reds.

    The switch hitter is locking in as the All-Star break approaches. Edwards has three multi-hit performances in the last five games, and over the last month he's slashing .306/.375/.361 in 26 contests with four steals in six attempts, seven RBI and 16 runs. While he isn't running as much, or as efficiently, as he did in 2024 -- he's gone 15-for-21 on the basepaths through 73 contests this season after a 31-for-35 showing in only 70 games last year -- he remains a useful three-category fantasy asset, and a strong leadoff option for Miami.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Swats 12th long ball

    Seager went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in a loss to the Angels on Monday.

    Seager gave the Rangers an early lead with a two-run blast to center field in the first inning, and he reached twice more in the contest. The veteran shortstop has reached base in 12 consecutive contests and is batting .311 (14-for-45) with five homers, three doubles, 11 RBI, 13 runs and a stolen base over that span. Seager is at 12 homers on the campaign, so he'll need to pick up the pace in order to reach 30 long balls for a fourth straight season.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Extends hit streak

    Witt went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a sacrifice fly and an additional run scored during Monday's 9-3 win over the Pirates.

    Witt has recorded at least one hit in 11 consecutive games, a stretch in which he's 19-for-46 (.416) with three homers and three stolen bases. The superstar shortstop has notched multiple hits in five of those contests and has now gone yard in back-to-back outings. In 399 plate appearances this season, Witt is slashing .296/.346/.503 with 13 home runs.
