  • Luke Voit 1B | NYM

    Yankees' Luke Voit: Homers in fourth straight

    Voit went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, two singles, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 10-5 loss to the Rays.

    Voit continued his tear at the plate Thursday, with his first-inning homer making it four straight games with a long ball for the first baseman. The slugger also added an RBI single in the sixth. Voit has 10 homers and 20 RBI and is slashing .311/.386/.730 on the season.

  • Twins' LaMonte Wade: Recalled by Twins

    Wade was recalled from the Twins' alternate training site Thursday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

    Wade was sent down by the Twins at the beginning of August, but he'll return to the major-league roster after Byron Buxton (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 26-year-old appeared in just one game as a defensive replacement during his first stint with the team but could see slightly more playing time in the coming days with Buxton sidelined.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | ATL

    Blue Jays' Rowdy Tellez: Back in action for second game

    Tellez (head) is starting the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

    Tellez was held out of the first game of Thursday's twin bill, but he'll return to the starting nine at first base for Game 2. Although he missed three consecutive games, he's reportedly feeling better and should be available going forward as long as he doesn't experience any setbacks.

  • Evan White 1B | LAA

    Mariners' Evan White: Not starting Thursday

    White (knee) is not in the lineup Thursday against the Dodgers, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

    White fouled a ball off his knee during Wednesday's game, and while X-rays came back negative, the issue will keep him sidelined for at least one game. Austin Nola is covering first base in his stead Thursday.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | ATL

    Blue Jays' Rowdy Tellez: Not playing in first game of twin bill

    Tellez (head) is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Phillies.

    Manager Charlie Montoyo suggested a day earlier that Tellez (head) would likely be ready to play Thursday, but the Blue Jays may prefer to save him for the second game of the twin bill. Vladimir Guerrero is manning first base in the front end of the doubleheader, while Randal Grichuk is serving as the Blue Jays' designated hitter.

  • Evan White 1B | LAA

    Mariners' Evan White: X-rays return negative

    White is day-to-day after X-rays on his left knee came back negative, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

    White fouled a pitch off his knee before striking out during his first at-bat Wednesday, and he was lifted for a pinch hitter a couple innings later. The 24-year-old avoided a fracture, so he may not be sidelined for long, if at all.

  • Jose Abreu 1B | HOU

    White Sox's Jose Abreu: Hits go-ahead homer

    Abreu went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Tigers.

    Abreu went deep off Tigers reliever Gregory Soto in the eighth inning to give the White Sox a 4-3 lead. The 32-year-old Abreu has hit five homers with 17 RBI and 14 runs scored in 25 games this season. He's slashing .277/.318/.485 after his second straight multi-hit effort.

  • Luke Voit 1B | NYM

    Yankees' Luke Voit: Another homer

    Voit went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run Wednesday against the Rays.

    Voit took Tyler Glasnow deep in the third inning for his ninth homer of the season. He's been especially hot of late, cranking four long balls in his past three starts. For the campaign, Voit is hitting .290/.372/.696 with 18 RBI and 14 runs scored across 78 plate appearances.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ATL

    Indians' Carlos Santana: Goes yard again

    Santana went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Pirates.

    Santana took Dovydas Neverauskas yard in the sixth inning, enough offense to propel Cleveland to a win. It was Santana's third home run of the season, and second in two games against Pittsburgh. He is slowly coming around at the plate, and now has 12 RBI to go along with 13 runs scored and a .197/.408/.342 line in 103 plate appearances.

  • C.J. Cron 1B | BOS

    Tigers' C.J. Cron: Transferred to 45-day IL

    Cron (knee) was placed on the 45-day injured list Wednesday.

    He elected season-ending surgery on his sprained left knee last week, so this is just a formality to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Cron will be a free agent this offseason.
