Freeman went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs and a stolen base in a 4-2 win against the Mets on Friday.

Freeman scored half of the Dodgers' runs and recorded his 26th double of the season -- tied for second in the majors. The future Hall of Famer is moving up the all-time chart in the category, as his 573 career regular-season doubles put him 27th in MLB history. Freeman has collected three hits in both of his past two games to push his season slash line to .294/.377/.486 with 15 homers, 51 RBI, 56 runs and five stolen bases through 101 contests.

Keuchel signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

After spending the first several months of the season as a free agent, Keuchel will now get a chance to continue his professional career with the A's. The 38-year-old lefty hasn't appeared in an MLB game since 2024 and is unlikely to provide anything more than organizational depth to the Athletics.

The Royals traded Misner to the Phillies on Saturday in exchange for cash.

After being DFA'd by the Royals on Wednesday, Misner will reclaim a 40-man roster spot with the Phillies and report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 28-year-old outfielder has slashed just .220/.256/.244 across 44 plate appearances in the majors this season but boasts a .941 OPS through 63 games at Triple-A. Steward Berroa was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Gonzalez entered Friday's game as a pinch hitter and had a double, an RBI and a run scored in a 6-4 win over Toronto.

Gonzalez, who had snapped an 0-for-23 stretch in his previous game Wednesday, delivered the go-ahead run in the eighth inning. Since a midseason return from shoulder surgery following a truncated rehab assignment, Gonzalez has been grinding. He entered Friday with a .189/.271/.321 slash line across 60 plate appearances.

Mack isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.

Mack will get a breather after hitting a home run in Friday's contest to extend his hitting streak to four games. Liam Hicks will handle catching duties with Mack on the bench.

Early (elbow) threw an inning in a bullpen session Friday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Early, who had played catch out to 120 feet earlier in the week, added a bullpen session to his rehab progression. The left-hander also added pitchers' fielding practice to his list of activities. The next steps for Early will be a two-inning session in the bullpen followed by live batting practice. A short rehab assignment is anticipated.

Duran started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over Seattle.

Duran made a second consecutive start at third base, while Josh Jung tends to a sore calf. The injury was not considered serious when Jung left Tuesday's game, but the Rangers held him out of Wednesday's game, figuring he'd be ready to go after Thursday's off day. He tested the injury Friday, per Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, and was unable to go full speed. Wilson added the Rangers will probably need to make a decision about placing Jung on the injured list Saturday. However it plays out, Duran is expected to fill in at third base for as long as needed. He's hit safely in four straight games.

Gordon struck out two batters and allowed one earned run on three hits and one walk across 5.2 innings of relief in Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Reds.

After coming off the injured list June 30, Gordon made each of his three appearances as a starter prior to the All-Star break, logging a 6.60 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in 15 innings across those outings. However, with Tomoyuki Sugano getting cleared to return from the IL to begin the second half, Gordon has since shifted back to the bullpen. He ended up mopping up Sunday behind started Ryan Feltner, who took the loss after being rocked for eight earned runs across 2.1 innings.

Alvarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Dodgers.

The 24-year-old backstop supplied the Mets' last gasp of offense on the night when he took Evan Phillips deep in the eighth inning. Alvarez is up to 12 homers on the season, and three of them have come in five games since the All-Star break. Over 123 plate appearances since returning from knee surgery in early June, Alvarez has produced a .274/.333/.504 slash line with eight home runs, 11 runs scored and 16 RBI.

Gilbert went 2-for-2 with a walk in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Angels.

Gilbert lined a single to center field in the second inning and added another base hit in the fourth. The 25-year-old outfielder delivered his first multi-hit performance since July 5 and is now batting .256 with five RBI, three runs scored and a home run in 47 plate appearances on the month. He's slashing .233/.316/.357 with 23 runs scored, 21 RBI and four long balls across 239 plate appearances this season.
