  • 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.

  • Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Stays hot in win

    Encarnacion-Strand went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Encarnacion-Strand got the Reds on the board with a 403-foot blast in the fourth inning. He enjoyed an ideal return to action over the weekend, homering in all three games while collecting seven hits and six RBI. The 25-year-old is now slashing .229/.257/.486 with five home runs, 11 RBI and seven runs scored across 74 plate appearances this season, and he earned his second start at third base Sunday.

  • Nationals' Andres Chaparro: Heading to big leagues

    Chaparro is expected to be called up from Triple-A Rochester, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Chaparro is set to join the Nationals in New York ahead of their three-game series against the Mets beginning Tuesday. The 26-year-old missed the first two months of the year with an oblique strain, but he posted a .304 average with five home runs, 19 RBI and eight runs scored over 15 games with Rochester following his return to action May 28. Chaparro will now replace Nasim Nunez on the major-league roster after Nunez was sent down to Triple-A on Sunday.

  • 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.

  • Pete Alonso 1B | NYM

    Mets' Pete Alonso: Monster effort in win

    Alonso went 3-for-6 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 13-5 win over the Rockies.

    Alonso launched two-run home runs in the third and eighth innings, marking his second multi-homer game of the week. According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, he passed David Wright for second on the Mets' all-time home run list and set the team record for multi-homer efforts with 23. Over his past 15 games, the 30-year-old has hit safely 14 times with five multi-hit performances and 12 extra-base hits. He leads the majors with 61 RBI this season while slashing .301/.396/.594 with 17 long balls and 41 runs scored across 293 plate appearances.

  • 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.

  • Keston Hiura 1B | COL

    Rockies' Keston Hiura: Splitting time at first base

    Hiura is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    It's the second straight game on the bench for Hiura, who has gone 2-for-11 with a double and two runs in five games since being added to the big-league roster last weekend. Kyle Farmer is starting at first base Sunday, with he and Hiura each receiving four starts at the position in Colorado's past eight games.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Idle against lefty

    Horwitz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Horwitz will take a seat for the third time in four games while the Pirates go up against another southpaw in Cristopher Sanchez. Jared Triolo will get the nod at first base and should continue to fill the short side of a platoon with Horwitz.

  • 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.
