  • Justin Foscue 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Justin Foscue: Makes season debut

    Foscue started at first base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 6-0 loss to Baltimore.

    Foscue, who was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, made his season debut for the Rangers. His MLB debut came in April of 2024 but was cut short immediately by an oblique injury. The 14th overall pick in the 2021 First-Year Player Draft, Foscue came up as a second baseman but has since added first base to his profile and could see time there with Jake Burger (oblique) on the 10-day injured list.

  • Ryan Noda 1B | BAL

    White Sox's Ryan Noda: Sitting against southpaw

    Noda is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Though he'll hit the bench while the Diamondbacks send southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill, the left-handed-hitting Noda has been a regular in the White Sox lineup against right-handed pitching since he was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox on June 13. Noda started in seven of the previous eight games but went 2-for-19 with five walks and 12 strikeouts. Edgar Quero will replace him at designated hitter Monday.

  • Donovan Solano 1B | TEX

    Mariners' Donovan Solano: Back to bench Monday

    Solano is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

    Solano had started at first base in each of the last four games -- two against right-handed pitchers, two against left-handers -- and went 10-for-17 with two home runs, one double, one walk and eight RBI, but the Mariners aren't yet ready to commit to him as an everyday player. Even after that productive four-game stretch, Solano is still slashing just .257/.295/.371 in 112 plate appearances on the season. Solano should continue to play regularly against left-handed pitching, but his playing time against righties could be more sporadic while the Mariners have the left-handed-hitting Luke Raley available to play first base.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Shifts to 60-day IL

    The Orioles transferred Mountcastle (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

    After suffering a Grade 2 right hamstring strain in a May 30 game, Mountcastle was placed on the IL one day later. Though the Orioles never provided a firm timeline for Mountcastle's recovery, the veteran first baseman had been expected to miss around 8-to-12 weeks due to the moderate hamstring strain, so his move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return date. Ryan O'Hearn is poised to see the bulk of the starts at first base for the foreseeable future, with Coby Mayo occasionally mixing in.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Starts at second base

    Gonzalez started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Giants.

    Per usual, manager Alex Cora got Gonzalez's bat in the lineup against a lefty. Gonzalez typically plays first base, but Cora kept the productive Abraham Toro there and used Gonzalez at second base Sunday, the first game that Boston has faced a lefty since it demoted Kristian Campbell. The move worked offensively, as Gonzalez took Robbie Ray deep for his second homer of the season, but he also had a crucial error that led to three unearned runs crossing the plate. Gonzalez owns a 1.076 OPS against southpaws in 2025.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Clubs three-run home run

    Schanuel went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, a double and an RBI single during Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Astros.

    Schanuel notched his fifth three-hit game of the campaign, staying red-hot at the plate. The first baseman is 23-for-72 (.319) with three home runs, nine runs scored, 14 RBI and two stolen bases over his last 17 games. He's slashing .283/.372/.412 in 2025.

  • Donovan Solano 1B | TEX

    Mariners' Donovan Solano: Homers twice, drives in five

    Solano went 3-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Sunday's win against the Cubs.

    Solano ripped a solo shot in the fourth inning and a two-run homer in the seventh. He capped off his day with a two-run single during Seattle's five-run eighth inning. Solano posted three consecutive three-hit games during the weekend series against the Cubs, boosting his season OPS from .490 to .666 in the process. Solano did not homer in any of his first 38 games this season but has gone deep three times in the last six contests.

  • Astros' Jon Singleton: Inks minor-league deal with Houston

    Singleton signed a minor-league contract with the Astros on Sunday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Singleton was released from his minor-league contract with the Mets on Monday after batting .213 with a 12 home runs, 42 RBI, 37 runs scored and one stolen base over 55 games with Triple-A Syracuse this season. The 33-year-old first baseman will begin his third stint in the Astros organization after previously seeing big-league action with Houston in 2014 and 2015 and 2023 and 2024.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | CHC

    Guardians' Carlos Santana: Exiting starting nine Sunday

    Santana is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    Kyle Manzardo will cover first base and David Fry will serve as the Guardians' designated hitter while Santana receives his first day off since June 7. Since clubbing a grand slam in the Guardians' 11-2 win over the Reds on June 11, Santana has gone 4-for-31 with no extra-base hits over his last eight games, though he contributed two stolen bases during that stretch.

  • Ryan Noda 1B | BAL

    White Sox's Ryan Noda: Handling steady role

    Noda will start at designated hitter and will bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    After joining the White Sox last weekend shortly after being claimed off waivers from the Red Sox, Noda has handled a regular role for Chicago. He's started seven of the last eight games, but he's gone just 2-for-17 with a solo home run. Expect Noda's playing time to eventually trend downward if he's unable to get anything going at the dish.
