  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Indians' Josh Naylor: Dealing with fracture

    Manager Terry Francona said Naylor suffered an unspecified leg fracture during Sunday's loss to the Twins, and the specifics of the injury remain unclear, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    The 24-year-old was carted off the field after colliding with teammate Ernie Clement while pursuing a pop fly in shallow right field, and it's now confirmed he's managing a serious injury. It's safe to assume Naylor will be placed on the injured list, but the length of his absence won't be known until a more specific diagnosis is announced.

  • Jose Abreu 1B | HOU

    White Sox's Jose Abreu: Not starting Game 2

    Abreu (knee) isn't starting Sunday's Game 2 against the Mariners.

    Abreu was unable to put any weight on his left leg after he was hit by a pitch in the first game Sunday, and he underwent X-rays that came back negative. He'll take a seat for the nightcap as Yasmani Grandal shifts to first base while Zack Collins starts at catcher.

    White Sox's Jose Abreu: X-rays come back negative

    Abreu has been diagnosed with a bruised left knee after X-rays came back negative following his exit from Sunday's game against Seattle.

    Abreu could not put any weight on his left leg after being hit by a pitch and exiting in the bottom of the sixth inning. The slugger appears to have avoided an injury that would require an extended absence, though it wouldn't be surprising if he's forced to miss a few games. He's considered day-to-day.

    Indians' Josh Naylor: Carted off with apparent leg injury

    Naylor was carted off after appearing to suffer a leg injury while colliding with Ernie Clement during Sunday's game against Minnesota, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    It looks like a serious injury for Naylor, given that he was taken off on a cart after rolling around on the ground in pain. Cleveland will likely provide a further update later Sunday, but Naylor seems almost certain to miss substantial time.

    White Sox's Jose Abreu: Exits after being hit on knee

    Abreu could not put weight on his left leg and needed to be helped off the field after being hit by a pitch on the knee during Sunday's game against Seattle, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. Andrew Vaughn replaced him as a pinch runner and figures to stay in the game at first base.

    This is obviously a terrible sight for the already injury-riddled White Sox. The club should provide further update later Sunday, but at this point it wouldn't be surprising if Abreu is forced to sit at least the next few days.

  • Bobby Dalbec 1B | CHW

    Red Sox's Bobby Dalbec: Back on bench Sunday

    Dalbec is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Dalbec will sit for the second time in three games as Danny Santana takes over at first base against Gerrit Cole. Dalbec is hitless across his last 17 at-bats dating back to June 20.

  • Alex Kirilloff LF | MIN

    Twins' Alex Kirilloff: Sitting Sunday

    Kirilloff is not in the starting lineup Sunday against Cleveland.

    Kirilloff was absent from Saturday's lineup before the game got postponed due to rain, and he remains out of the starting nine Sunday with lefty Sam Hentges' start getting pushed back one day. Miguel Sano will play first base and bat sixth.

  • Yuli Gurriel DH | SD

    Astros' Yuli Gurriel: Extends hit streak

    Gurriel went 2-for-3 with a run scored in a 3-1 loss to Detroit in the matinee of Saturday's doubleheader.

    Gurriel had two of Houston's six hits and scored the team's lone run in a loss that snapped an 11-game winning streak. He suited up for the nightcap as well, singling in three at-bats. With hits in both ends of the twin bill, Gurriel extended his hit streak to 10 games, during which he's gone 16-for-35 (.457) with a .961 OPS.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Increases homer tally to 26

    Guerrero went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, two additional runs scored and two walks in Saturday's win over the Orioles.

    Guerrero blasted his league-leading 26th homer of the campaign in the third inning off Keegan Akin. The star slugger has launched 10 of his 26 long balls this month and is hitting an impressive .376 across 85 at-bats during June. The Blue Jays' 22-year-old slugger has homered in three straight games and four of his past seven as part of a seven-game hitting streak. Also, his 26th homer marked the second most through 75 games in the history of the franchise.

  • Evan White 1B | LAA

    Mariners' Evan White: Still determining next steps

    White (hip) is still looking to determine his plan of action and the next steps in his recovery, the team's official site reports.

    The young infielder has been on the shelf since May 14, and he recently left the team altogether to seek a second opinion on his ailing left hip. Whenever White is cleared to resume game action, it's presumed he'll return to Triple-A Tacoma, where he'd been assigned on a rehab assignment when he suffered a recent setback.
