  • Michael Toglia 1B | CIN

    Reds' Michael Toglia: Joins big-league club

    The Reds selected Toglia's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

    Toglia has spent the entire season at Louisville, where he slashed .273/.373/.547 with 22 homers, 65 RBI, 49 runs scored, four stolen bases and a 56:103 BB:K across 402 trips to the plate. The switch-hitting Toglia possesses plus power but owns an inflated 35.0 percent strikeout rate spanning 1,067 big-league plate appearances. He has the ability to play first base and right field and will likely see some at-bats at designated hitter.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Mariners' Josh Naylor: Idle Tuesday

    Naylor is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Yankees.

    With southpaw Ryan Weathers toeing the slab for the Yankees, the left-handed hitting Naylor will sit out Tuesday's series opener. Weston Wilson will start at first base and bat eighth for Seattle.

  • Kyle Stowers 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Heading to injured list

    Miami placed Stowers on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain on Tuesday.

    Stowers exited Sunday's series finale early against the Angels with discomfort in his left hamstring, and the injury proved serious enough to warrant a trip to the injured list. The 28-year-old will be sidelined for at least 10 days for the second time this season, after also missing the first three weeks-plus of the campaign due to a right hamstring strain. The left-handed-hitting Stowers has batted .242/.327/.462 with 16 home runs and 52 RBI in 399 plate appearances this season. Miami recalled Graham Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

  • Ty France 1B | SD

    Padres' Ty France: Swats homer Monday

    France went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 3-2 victory against Milwaukee on Monday.

    France accounted for San Diego's first run with a solo blast to left field in the second inning. He added a single in the seventh and was on base when Jackson Merrill followed with a two-run homer to provide the winning margin. France continued his strong second half, posting his 12th multi-hit performance through 24 games. He's slashing an impressive .344/.390/.611 with six home runs, 18 RBI and 17 runs during that stretch.

  • Charles McAdoo 1B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Charles McAdoo: Homers in return

    McAdoo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 2-1 win over the Red Sox.

    In his first major-league game since June 19, McAdoo broke a scoreless tie with a solo blast off Sonny Gray in the fifth inning. He also drew a walk in the sixth and was lifted for Ernie Clement as a defensive replacement in the eighth. The 24-year-old has gone just 5-for-27 with two homers in nine games with the Blue Jays but posted a solid .832 OPS with 16 homers and 12 steals across 385 plate appearances with Triple-A Buffalo this season.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Heading out on rehab stint

    Pasquantino (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

    Pasquantino, who landed on the 10-day injured list July 29 due to wrist soreness, should only need a handful of at-bats at Triple-A before being activated from the shelf. If all goes according to plan, it seems likely that he'll be back with the big-league club before the end of the week.

  • Connor Norby 2B | COL

    Rockies' Connor Norby: Moves up to big leagues

    The Rockies recalled Norby from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

    He'll be joining the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Tyler Freeman (back), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Before being traded to the Rockies a week ago, Norby appeared in 65 games at the big-league level for the Marlins this season and slashed .203/.313/.325 with six steals and four home runs across 233 plate appearances. Norby played exclusively at third base and first base during his time at Miami, but he's also seen reps at second base and in left field at the Triple-A level this season.

  • Bryce Harper 1B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: In lineup despite sore knee

    Harper is in the designated hitter spot Monday in St. Louis due to nagging knee soreness that's worsened since he moved to right field, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

    Harper fouled a ball off his knee before the All-Star break and hasn't been able to get over the hump with the injury. The soreness is not bad enough to prevent Harper from playing, but it's possible his time in the outfield will be limited until the discomfort goes away. Derek Hill is playing right field and Kyle Schwarber is getting a start at first base for the Phillies in Monday's series opener.

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Multi-hit effort in loss

    Devers went 2-for-4 in Sunday's 3-1 extra-inning loss to the Tigers.

    Devers singled in the fourth inning and added another in the seventh, marking his third multi-hit performance in August. Across 32 plate appearances this month, the veteran infielder is batting .276 with four runs scored, three RBI and two home runs. On the campaign, he's slashing .249/.321/.475 with 64 RBI, 61 runs scored, 24 long balls and a 26.5 percent strikeout rate in 499 plate appearances.

  • Charles McAdoo 1B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Charles McAdoo: Returns to majors

    The Blue Jays recalled McAdoo from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday. He'll start at third base and bat seventh in the Blue Jays' series opener versus the Red Sox.

    Toronto optioned Davis Schneider to Triple-A to open up a spot on the active roster for McAdoo. Like Schneider before him, McAdoo protects to serve as a utility player and will likely see most of his playing time against left-handed pitching. McAdoo was previously up with the Blue Jays for about three weeks earlier this season, appearing in eight games while going 4-for-25 with one home run, three RBI and two runs.
