  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Dealing with foot issue

    Lowe was lifted from Saturday's game against Baltimore due to a flare-up of plantar fasciitis in his left foot, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Lowe grounded out to third base to end the bottom of the sixth inning Saturday, and Jose Caballero replaced him on defense to begin the top of the following frame. Lowe was just activated from the IL on Friday following an oblique injury, but his departure Saturday doesn't appear to be related to that issue. Topkin notes that Lowe was already scheduled to get a day off Sunday, though the slugger could be available off the bench.

  • Chase Meidroth 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Struggling in July

    Meidroth went 1-for-5 with an RBI on Saturday against the Pirates.

    Meidroth ended June with a .352 on-base percentage and 10 stolen bases, but he's struggled since the calendar flipped to July. He has gone just 6-for-50 with four walks across 12 games this month, tallying two RBI, two runs scored and only one stolen base. Meidroth did manage to contribute to the White Sox's win Saturday, delivering an RBI single in the sixth inning.

  • Tanner Houck SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Tanner Houck: Suffers setback during rehab

    Houck was returned from his minor-league rehab assignment Saturday due to a recurrence of a right pronator strain, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    Houck was first diagnosed with a right pronator strain in mid-May, and he subsequently landed on the 15-day injured list. The right-hander kicked off a minor-league rehab stint about a month later and pitched in five games, posting a 5.74 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB over 15.2 innings between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. There had been optimism that Houck was close to being activated, but the setback means he'll likely be out for another significant chunk of time.

  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Expected back soon

    Martin (forearm) is expected to be activated from the injured list within the next week, MLB.com reports.

    Martin completed 3.2 innings in his last rehab outing with Triple-A Charlotte and looked sharp by allowing only one earned run with a 5:1 K:BB. It's unclear exactly what day he will return to the big-league club, but he isn't listed as Charlotte's probable starter Sunday.

  • Trent Grisham CF | NYY

    Yankees' Trent Grisham: Swats late grand slam

    Grisham went 2-for-5 with a double, a grand slam, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 12-9 win over Atlanta.

    Grisham crushed a go-ahead grand slam off Raisel Iglesias in the ninth inning to lift his team to victory. The center fielder has been a surprise contributor for the Yankees in 2025, posting a .255/.357/.476 slash line with 26 extra-base hits and 38 RBI through 81 games after holding an OPS below .700 in each of the previous three regular seasons. Despite that, he's fallen into less of an everyday role lately, with Jasson Dominguez becoming a fixture in left field.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Slugs pair of homers

    Volpe went 2-for-4 with two homers and four RBI in Saturday's victory over Atlanta.

    Volpe put together a standout showing Saturday, delivering the first two-homer game of his young career. He hit a two-run blast off Wander Suero in the fifth inning, then followed with a game-tying solo shot off Dylan Lee in the eighth. It could be the beginning of a much-needed hot streak for the shortstop, who's struggled at the plate this season with a .216/.288/.399 slash line in 97 games. Still, his 37 extra-base hits, 53 RBI and 10 steals offer some redeeming value.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Dealing with hamstring issue

    Paredes was pulled from Saturday's game versus Seattle due to right hamstring discomfort, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Paredes pulled up before reaching first base on a single to deep left field in the third inning. He was immediately lifted for a pinch runner but was able to leave the field under his own power, albeit gingerly. Paredes missed three games in mid-June due to a hamstring issue. though it's worth noting that in that instance the injury was to his left hamstring. Imaging should help determine how severe Paredes' injury is this time around, but it wouldn't be surprising if he's held out of the lineup Sunday.

  • Martin Perez SP | ATL

    White Sox's Martin Perez: Nearing rehab assignment

    Perez (elbow) threw a bullpen session Saturday, MLB.com reports.

    Perez has been sidelined since mid-April but has been engaging in bullpen sessions since early July. It's unclear exactly when he'll begin a rehab assignment, but it appears he could be lining up for a return in the second half of August.

  • Will Warren SP | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Rough outing in Atlanta

    Warren did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing five runs on five hits and three walks over 3.2 innings against Atlanta. He struck out five.

    The right-hander didn't make it out of the fourth inning Saturday, giving up home runs to Michael Harris and Ozzie Albies in the process. Warren came into the outing with solid underlying metrics (3.40 FIP) despite a 4.63 ERA, but this performance didn't offer signs of positive regression. Through 99 innings this season, the 26-year-old now holds a 4.91 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 21 starts.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | TOR

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Perfect at plate in win

    Sosa went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Pirates. He was also hit by a pitch.

    Sosa reached base in all five plate appearances and drove in runs with singles in the fifth and seventh innings. The 25-year-old has posted an .828 OPS over 14 July contests, recording four multi-hit efforts, three home runs, 12 RBI and seven runs scored during that stretch. For the season, he's slashing .274/.300/.422 with nine homers, 34 RBI, 29 runs scored and two stolen bases across 308 plate appearances.
