  • Michael Toglia 1B | COL

    Rockies' Michael Toglia: Sent to Triple-A

    The Rockies optioned Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

    The 26-year-old recently fell into more of a part-time role and has now lost his place on the major-league roster. Toglia has played in 85 games for the Rockies this season and has a .194/.261/.361 slash line and 38.3 percent strikeout rate over 329 plate appearances.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | BOS

    Nationals' Nathaniel Lowe: Receiving rest Sunday

    Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Lowe appears to be getting a rare rest day Sunday after starting in each of the Nationals' last 38 games dating back to June 17. Josh Bell will cover first base, and James Wood will get a day out of the outfield as the designated hitter.

  • Rockies' Warming Bernabel: Another multi-hit game

    Bernabel went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Pirates.

    His sixth-inning double was enough to chase Paul Skenes from the game, and Bernabel was brought home two batters later on a Brenton Doyle single. The 23-year-old is off to a fantastic start to his major-league career, going 14-for-28 (.500) with four doubles, one triple, five runs, three home runs and seven RBI in seven games.

  • Pete Alonso 1B | NYM

    Mets' Pete Alonso: Homers in second straight game

    Alonso went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a double Saturday in a 12-6 victory versus the Giants.

    Alonso set the tone for a big offensive night for the Mets when he cranked a three-run blast to center field in the first inning. The All-Star slugger has gone deep in each of his past two games following a rough 1-for-23 stretch at the plate. Alonso is up to 24 homers on the season as he seeks another campaign with at least 30 long balls -- the only time he hasn't reached that mark in his career was during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

  • Bryce Harper DH | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Goes deep in loss

    Harper went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Tigers.

    Harper accounted for two of the Phillies' five hits off Tarik Skubal and made things interesting late with a two-run blast in the eighth inning. In 14 games since the All-Star break, the 32-year-old Harper has tallied five multi-hit efforts while launching six homers with 12 RBI, 12 runs scored and a stolen base. For the season, Harper is slashing .269/.375/.503 with 16 home runs, 47 RBI, 50 runs scored and 10 steals across 363 plate appearances.

  • Troy Johnston RF | COL

    Marlins' Troy Johnston: Idle Saturday

    Johnston is not in the Marlins' starting lineup against the Yankees on Saturday.

    Johnston will be on the bench for the start of Saturday's game while Eric Wagaman starts at first base and bats seventh. Johnston has gone 1-for-5 with a run in two games since being recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Scores twice in loss

    Horwitz went 1-for-5 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored Friday against the Rockies.

    Horwitz reached base twice in the first inning, leading off the game with a single and then walking in his second plate appearance while coming around to score on both occasions. He's swung the bat well since the All-Star break, going 15-for-47 with one home run, nine RBI and six runs scored across 13 games. Horwitz looks likely to remain Pittsburgh's leadoff hitter against righties while sitting against most lefties.

  • Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Stays hot in Friday's win

    Vaughn went 3-for-5 with a walk, a home run, three runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 16-9 win over the Nationals.

    The first baseman remains locked in, clubbing his 11th homer of the season in the eighth inning off Andry Lara. Vaughn has been a revelation since joining the Brewers in early July, slashing .386/.448/.772 over 17 games with four doubles, six homers, 13 runs and a massive 24 RBI, and he's finally showing the kind of upside that led the White Sox to select him third overall in the 2019 First-Year Player Draft.

  • Rockies' Warming Bernabel: Continues blazing career start

    Bernabel went 4-for-6 with a three-run home run, a triple, two runs and four RBI during Friday's 17-16 win over the Pirates.

    Bernabel has been up in the majors for just six games, and he's certainly impressed in that small sample size while taking hold of an everyday role at first base. The 23-year-old has at least one hit in all six games and multiple hits in three of them, but he had undoubtedly his best performance Friday. Overall, Bernabel is slashing .476/.500/1.000 with three home runs and seven RBI.

  • Cardinals' Willson Contreras: Homers in Friday's loss

    Contreras went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Padres.

    Contreras opened the scoring in the fifth inning, but the Padres responded with all four of their runs coming in the bottom of the frame, including one that stemmed directly from Contreras' error. The 33-year-old had gone just 1-for-17 across his previous five games. He's now at 15 homers, 62 RBI, 53 runs scored, four stolen bases, 28 doubles and a .257/.342/.447 slash line through 105 contests this season.
