  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Targeting return Saturday

    Guerrero (concussion) will go through a full workout Wednesday and is targeting a return to the Blue Jays' active roster Saturday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet reports.

    Guerrero landed on the 7-day concussion injured list last weekend but is on track for activation when first eligible. He went through a light workout Tuesday and will ramp up the intensity with a full workout Wednesday. Guerrero could play a rehab game with Single-A Dunedin on Thursday or Friday before returning Saturday, assuming all checks out well.

  • Spencer Steer 1B | CIN

    Reds' Spencer Steer: Follow-up exam on wrist this weekend

    Steer will have a follow-up exam on his injured right wrist this weekend, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

    Recovering from a partial tear of the tendon sheath in his wrist, Steer could be cleared to ramp up baseball activities if he receives good news during his exam. He remains without a clear timeline to return from the 10-day injured list, but more clarity on that front should come after this weekend.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Rhys Hoskins: Placed on IL with back inflammation

    The Guardians placed Hoskins on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to low back inflammation.

    Hoskins started and played all nine innings in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Giants, but he may have picked up the back injury at some point along the way. The Guardians called up David Fry from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move.

  • Michael Toglia 1B | CIN

    Reds' Michael Toglia: Getting steady playing time

    Toglia will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's contest against the Cardinals.

    Toglia will be making his second start in right field and sixth start in 10 games since being called up from Triple-A Louisville. He's gone just 3-for-19 with a 2:8 BB:K thus far. Lefty swinger Hector Rodriguez is likely to see most of the reps in right field against right-handed pitching, but the switch-hitting Toglia could settle into the short side of a platoon in right field while also seeing occasional starts at other positions.

  • Gavin Sheets 1B | SD

    Padres' Gavin Sheets: Sitting against righty

    Sheets is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    After taking a seat for Tuesday's 5-2 win while southpaw Zac Thornton started for the Mets, the left-handed-hitting Sheets will remain on the bench against a righty (Robert Stock) for the series finale in New York. Sheets will give up his spot in the starting nine to Sung-Mun Song, who will cover third base while Manny Machado serves as the Friars' designated hitter.

  • Eric Wagaman 1B | NYM

    Mets' Eric Wagaman: Summoned from minors

    The Mets recalled Wagaman from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

    Wagaman has gone just 8-for-42 at the dish for the Mets this season. The 29-year-old could receive the occasional start against left-handed pitching.

  • White Sox's Munetaka Murakami: Launches homer Tuesday

    Murakami went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs.

    Murakami has three homers over his last five games, going 4-for-18 with a 6:8 BB:K in that span. His long ball Tuesday was his 29th of the season. The rookie infielder is also batting .234 with a .917 OPS, 58 RBI, 67 runs scored, 13 doubles and a stolen base over 90 contests. His power has been as advertised in his first big-league season.

  • Michael Busch 1B | CHC

    Cubs' Michael Busch: Pops homer

    Busch went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.

    Busch ended a 12-game power drought with the first-inning long ball. He's still gone seven contests without a multi-hit effort. On the year, the first baseman is batting .244 with a .740 OPS, 15 homers, 64 RBI, 53 runs scored, 20 doubles, two triples and two stolen bases over 125 games.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Registers steal in win

    Freeman went 2-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Rockies.

    Freeman had gone 0-for-11 over three games versus the Brewers after falling dangerously into the dugout during the Dodgers' series versus the Royals early last week. He's gotten his bat back on track in the thin air of Colorado, going 5-for-8 over the first two games of this series against the Rockies. The first baseman is batting .304 with an .846 OPS, 15 home runs, 60 RBI, 62 runs scored, 29 doubles, one triple and six steals over 123 contests this season.

  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Pair of hits in win

    Pasquantino went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.

    Pasquantino picked up a pair of hits, including an RBI double in the seventh inning. In two games since returning from an IL stint due to right wrist soreness, the first baseman has gone 3-for-8 with two doubles. Overall, he's hitting .236/.320/.352 with six homers, 34 RBI, 34 runs and four stolen bases across 81 contests.
