  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Homers in loss

    Aranda went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees.

    Aranda left the yard for just the second time this month with a solo blast to right-center field in the third inning. Tuesday was his third multi-hit effort over the last six games, and he's reached base safely in nine straight. Aranda is enjoying a breakout season and currently ranks third in the American League in batting average (.315) and on-base percentage (.396) and is sixth in OPS (.876).

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Shows off power during win

    Pasquantino went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, double and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 9-6 win over Atlanta.

    Pasquantino got the Royals on the board early with a solo shot in the first inning, before adding an RBI double in the sixth as part of his second three-hit effort in his last six games. With his recent power surge, the first baseman now has 18 homers on the season, and he's tacked on 65 RBI, 43 runs scored and a .268/.329/.446 slash line through 105 games.

  • Astros' Christian Walker: Continues to heat up in July

    Walker went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Nationals.

    That's now four consecutive outings with at least one hit for Walker, who continues to heat up in July following a miserable start to his Astros career. The veteran first baseman had a .635 OPS for the year through June 29, but Walker is hitting a hot .329 with three home runs, four doubles and 18 RBI through 85 at-bats this month.

  • Tyler Locklear 3B | ARI

    Mariners' Tyler Locklear: Call-up on tap

    The Mariners are expected to recall Locklear from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

    Locklear wasn't able to crack the big-league roster out of spring training, but he's slashed .316/.401/.543 with 19 home runs and 17 stolen bases over 97 games at Triple-A this season. The 24-year-old isn't likely to see regular playing time after the Mariners acquired Josh Naylor, though the right-handed-hitting Locklear could draw starts over the lefty-hitting Naylor at first base when Seattle faces southpaws.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ARI

    Guardians' Carlos Santana: Out of Cleveland lineup

    Santana is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

    It looks to be a routine day off for Santana, who has just a .440 OPS so far in the second half. Kyle Manzardo will handle first base and David Fry will be the designated hitter for the Guardians.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Not expected back until next week

    Mountcastle (hamstring) is not expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list until next week's series in Philadelphia, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Mountcastle has played three rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk and is eligible for activation Wednesday, but the Orioles will give him a little more time following a nearly two-month long absence due to a right hamstring strain. With Ryan O'Hearn a candidate to be traded ahead of Thursday's deadline, Mountcastle and Coby Mayo could be in line to share the first-base and designated-hitter spots for the Orioles down the stretch.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Stays hot with 15th homer

    Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Orioles.

    He took Zach Eflin deep in the third inning to tie things up at 3-3, but Baltimore pulled away after that. Guerrero has hit safely in 10 straight games, slashing .463/.532/.780 over that span with three of his 15 homers on the season, as well as four doubles, 10 RBI and 12 runs.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Mariners' Josh Naylor: Goes deep for first time as Mariner

    Naylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in a 3-1 victory versus the Athletics on Monday.

    Naylor got the scoring started in the contest, belting a 405-foot solo blast in the second inning. The long ball was his first since making his Mariners debut July 27 as well as his first overall since July 7 (a span of 15 games). Naylor also continued to run wild Monday -- he swiped his fourth bag in his past three contests and has already blown past his previous career-high mark with 15 thefts on 17 attempts this season.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Homer, three hits in win

    Mayo went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 11-4 win over the Blue Jays.

    Mayo recorded the first three-hit effort of his career, highlighted by a 413-foot solo blast in the second inning. He's impressed since the All-Star break, going 7-for-17 with two homers, five RBI and five runs scored over seven games. The 23-year-old is slashing .240/.318/.406 with three long balls, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and one steal across 107 plate appearances, and his role moving forward may hinge on what the Orioles decide to do at this week's trade deadline.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Collects two more hits Monday

    Torkelson went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Torkelson has collected a hit in eight of his 11 games following the All-Star break, and he's tallied three multi-hit performances during the stretch. The slugger is now batting a solid .274 this month with six home runs and 13 RBI across 23 contests. Torkelson is showing some consistency during a bounceback campaign after he struggled to find his footing last year. His OPS is up from .669 during the 2024 regular season to .825 so far in 2025.
