  • Abraham Toro 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Abraham Toro: Collects three hits against NYY

    Toro went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI double, an additional double and an additional run scored during Sunday's 11-7 win over the Yankees.

    Toro and Trevor Story swatted back-to-back solo home runs during the eighth inning of Sunday's victory. Toro added a pair of doubles to complete the monster game and notched his fourth straight multi-hit performance. Since the start of June, Toro is 12-for-28 (.429) with five runs and five RBI over seven games.

  • LaMonte Wade RF | LAA

    Angels' LaMonte Wade: Dealt to Angels

    Wade was traded to the Angels on Sunday for a player to be named later or cash, while the deal also included cash heading to Los Angeles, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    Wade was designated for assignment by the Giants on Tuesday after posting a disappointing .167 average with one home run and 35 strikeouts over 144 at-bats in 50 games with the team this year. The lefty bat has proven to be more than serviceable in the past, producing a .258 average with 25 long balls, 79 RBI, 109 runs scored and four stolen bases over 760 at-bats between 2023 and 2024 with San Francisco. Wade will now look to emulate those numbers with the Angels, though it's unclear if he'll report to their major-league roster or head to Triple-A Salt Lake.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Drives in two runs

    Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a two-run double in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Cubs.

    Torkelson put the Tigers on the board in the first inning after smacking a two-run double off Cade Horton to center field. It was Torkelson's 11th multi-RBI game of the season, and his 15 home runs and 45 RBI (across 268 plate appearances) both rank fourth in the American League.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Swats homer in victory

    Gonzalez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two additional runs and a double in a 10-7 win against the Yankees on Saturday.

    Gonzalez tacked the final two runs onto the line of Yankees starter Ryan Yarbrough with a blast to left field in the fourth inning. It was the first long ball of the season for Gonzalez, who went deep six times over 216 plate appearances with Boston last year. Despite the lack of power prior to Saturday, the utility man has been handy with the bat, as he's slashing .329/.368/.486 with 12 RBI, 13 runs and three stolen bases through 76 plate appearances.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Gets aboard five times

    Soderstrom went 1-for-1 with four walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Orioles.

    Soderstrom showed off a couple of things Saturday that he's not particularly known for -- speed and patience at the plate. He's now at a 10.0 percent walk rate on the year, though he still strikes out a fair amount (25.4 percent) as well. Soderstrom also swiped his third bag of the year. The 23-year-old has maintained a .256/.341/.480 slash line with 14 home runs, 43 RBI, 35 runs scored, 11 doubles and a triple over 66 contests. He should continue to play at first base until Nick Kurtz (hip) is healthy, at which point Soderstrom will likely rejoin the mix in left field.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Racks up three hits in defeat

    Pasquantino went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's loss to the White Sox.

    Pasquantino was the only Royals player with multiple its in the contest, and he also accounted for the team's lone extra-base hit with his solo shot to right field in the second inning. The lefty-hitting first baseman extended his hitting streak to eight games and is batting a robust .467 (14-for-30) during that span. Pasquantino has gone deep in each of his past two contests following a 14-game stretch without a long ball.

  • Tim Elko 1B | CHW

    White Sox's Tim Elko: Slugs homer Saturday

    Elko went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a double Saturday in a 4-1 win against Kansas City.

    Elko belted a two-run shot in the second inning to put Chicago in the lead for good. The 26-year-old appears to be settling into a full-time role at first base -- since his promotion from Triple-A on June 4, Elko has made four straight starts at the position, going 3-for-15 with three RBI. Meanwhile, Miguel Vargas, who had been playing first base regularly, has been slotting in at third while Josh Rojas has mostly moved to second base in the wake of Lenyn Sosa's placement on the IL due to a hip injury.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Hitting bench Saturday

    Mayo is not in Saturday's lineup against the A's.

    Mayo has been in the lineup for five of Baltimore's last six games since being recalled from the minors. He's gone 3-for-15 in that span but has struck out only three times. Ryan O'Hearn will take over at first base while Adley Rutschman will serve as the designated hitter Saturday.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | CHC

    Guardians' Carlos Santana: Absent from Saturday's lineup

    Santana is not in the Guardians' starting lineup against the Astros on Saturday.

    Santana saw his 14-game hitting streak come to an end Friday when he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in a 4-2 loss to Houston. He'll be in the dugout for the beginning of Saturday's game while Kyle Manzardo shifts to first base and bats fourth.

  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Homers in win Friday

    Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 9-6 win against Boston on Friday.

    Goldschmidt's long ball was a 346-foot shot to right field in the sixth inning. It was his first home run (and just his second hit) so far this month; the veteran slugger has gone 2-for-18 with seven strikeouts and a stolen base through five June games. Goldschmidt is still slashing a productive .320/.376/.478 on the campaign, and he's added seven homers, 29 RBI, 40 runs and five thefts across 62 contests.
