  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Reaches three times in win

    Suzuki went 0-for-3 with three walks, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Tigers.

    Despite snapping his nine-game hitting streak, Suzuki still managed to reach base multiple times for the seventh time in his last 10 contests. The outfielder had a delayed start to his regular season due to an injury he sustained during the World Baseball Classic, but he's once again settled in as one of Chicago's offensive leaders. Suzuki is now sporting a robust .832 OPS, and this would be his fourth straight year with an OPS north of .800.

  • Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: On-base machine in win

    Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-2 with three walks, one triple, one run and two RBI in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Tigers.

    Crow-Armstrong tied his season high in walks and also matched a season best by reaching base five times overall. After a somewhat slow start to the season, the dynamic center fielder has caught fire since the beginning of June. Crow-Armstrong is batting .350 with 13 stolen bases, 14 home runs, 29 RBI and 33 runs scored across his last 41 games. His combination of speed and power makes him an elite fantasy option, especially when he's getting on base so frequently.

  • Martin Perez SP | ATL

    Braves' Martin Perez: Starting Wednesday

    Perez (forearm) will start Wednesday's game against the Padres, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Manager Walt Weiss said Saturday that Perez was set to make his return from the injured list during Atlanta's series against San Diego, and the 35-year-old southpaw is now officially set to make his second-half debut Wednesday after landing on the injured list July 6 with a bruised forearm. He will be returning to the rotation having bypassed a rehab assignment, so there's a chance the team limits his workload as he makes his first start back from the IL.

  • Diamondbacks' Gerardo Carrillo: Recalled to majors

    The Diamondbacks recalled Carrillo from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

    Carrillo was added to Arizona's 40-man roster Saturday, and he'll now get an opportunity to pitch for the big club following Drey Jameson's (hip) move to the injured list. Carrillo has put up a 4.15 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 57:28 K:BB across 43.1 innings at Reno, and he'll be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

  • Drey Jameson RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Drey Jameson: Battling hip inflammation

    The Diamondbacks placed Jameson on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right hip inflammation.

    Jameson has accumulated a 4.67 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 17.1 innings since joining the big-league bullpen in early June, but the D-backs will now be without his services for at least two weeks while he recovers from his hip injury. Gerardo Carrillo will come up from Triple-A Reno to fill the open spot in Arizona's bullpen.

  • Hunter Dobbins SP | STL

    Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Expected to be called up Wednesday

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Dobbins is expected to be called up from Triple-A Memphis to start Wednesday's contest against the Angels, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Dobbins will return to the big-league roster after being sent down July 8. The right-hander has posted a 4.03 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 23 strikeouts over 22.1 innings in five appearances (three starts) with the Cardinals so far this season. With Dobbins coming up for a spot start, the other members of the St. Louis rotation will all be pushed back a day in the pitching schedule.

  • Mitch Keller SP | PIT

    Pirates' Mitch Keller: Pitching Game 1 of doubleheader

    Keller will start Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Keller will take the ball in Wednesday's matinee after Tuesday's contest was postponed due to inclement weather, causing the Pirates to participate in a third doubleheader since July 11. The right-hander has struggled to a 7.62 ERA and 1.74 WHIP with 31 strikeouts over 39 innings in his last eight starts, surrendering nine home runs over that stretch.

  • Bubba Chandler SP | PIT

    Pirates' Bubba Chandler: Starting Game 2 of doubleheader

    Chandler will start Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Chandler was set to start Tuesday before the game ended up being postponed due to poor weather, but he'll now handle Wednesday's nightcap. The right-hander has struggled to a 6.60 ERA and 1.80 WHIP with nine walks and 12 strikeouts over 15 innings in his last three starts.

  • Zac Gallen SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Received second opinion

    Gallen (elbow) met with Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles for a recommended course of action and was scheduled to be back in Arizona on Tuesday to resume his rehab, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

    Gallen has been dealing with right elbow inflammation, which landed him on the 15-day injured list July 12. The righty was said to be evaluating his options as he waited for an opinion from another doctor -- presumably Dr. ElAttrache. Gallen's timeline is currently up in the air.

  • Dylan Crews RF | WAS

    Nationals' Dylan Crews: Day off Tuesday

    Crews isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

    Crews will get a chance to regroup Tuesday after going just 3-for-29 with a homer, two RBI, five runs and a steal across his last eight starts. Daylen Lile, Jacob Young and James Wood will start across Washington's outfield while Crews sits.
