  • Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino: Drives in five runs

    Pasquantino went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer, a double and five RBI in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

    Pasquantino paced the offense with a three-run blast in the third and added on with an RBI double in the seventh. He posted his second five-RBI game of the season. Prior to Tuesday's big performance, Pasquantino was just 6-for-41 through 10 games in August. Despite that, he's been productive for a second straight year and is pacing for 25-plus home runs after hitting his 21st on Tuesday.

  • Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Swats three-run homer

    Vaughn went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.

    Vaughn was the fourth Brewer to homer when he mashed a three-run homer 441 feet to left field in the sixth. He's hit safely in 16 of his last 17 games and now has 32 RBI since joining the Brewers on July 7, which is the second most in baseball since that date.

  • Spencer Steer 1B | CIN

    Reds' Spencer Steer: Another multi-RBI game

    Steer went 1-for-3 with a double, a sacrifice fly and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-1 win over Philadelphia.

    Steer delivered the winning hit with a two-run double in the fourth inning, before he knocked in the Reds' final run in the sixth inning. This was the fourth multi-RBI game over the last 12 contests for Steer, who's gone 11-for-44 with six extra-base hits and 16 RBI during that run.

  • Curtis Mead 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Curtis Mead: Earning regular playing time

    Mead went 2-for-5 with one RBI and two runs scored Tuesday against the Tigers.

    Mead has started seven straight games since being recalled by the White Sox, playing primarily at first base. The playing time there is likely to disappear due to the return of Miguel Vargas, but Mead shifted to third base on Tuesday. The White Sox will look to continue to find ways to get Mead into the lineup, as he has at least one hit in four of those seven contests and has gone 7-for-27 with five RBI and a stolen base.

  • Pete Alonso 1B | NYM

    Mets' Pete Alonso: Makes history in easy victory

    Alonso went 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 13-5 win over Atlanta.

    It was a record-setting night for the All-Star first baseman, who passed Darryl Strawberry for the most home runs in Mets franchise history, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. After posting a miserable .548 OPS in the month of July, Alonso is heating back up in August. He's hitting .350 with six long balls, four doubles and 15 RBI across his first 40 at-bats of the month to bring his OPS to .880 for the season.

  • Cardinals' Willson Contreras: Suffers bruised foot

    Contreras was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rockies with a right foot contusion, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Contreras took a pitch off his foot in the fourth inning before being replaced on defense to start the sixth. The fact that the Cardinals are calling his injury a bruise suggests the 33-year-old didn't suffer any structural damage, though he may still sit out Wednesday's series finale as a precaution.

  • Matt Mervis 1B | MIA

    Diamondbacks' Matt Mervis: Lands with Arizona

    Mervis signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Mervis was released by the Marlins last Tuesday after slashing .250/.309/.625 through 149 plate appearances with their Triple-A affiliate in Jacksonville. The 27-year-old will now aim to get back to the majors with the Diamondbacks organization, but he may first need to find more success at Triple-A Reno before garnering consideration for a promotion.

  • Niko Kavadas 1B | LAA

    Angels' Niko Kavadas: Back with Halos

    The Angels recalled Kavadas from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

    With Gustavo Campero (ankle) headed to the injured list, Kavadas will come up from the minors to replenish the Angels' bench depth. The 26-year-old is 0-for-1 in the majors this season but owns an .826 OPS through 479 plate appearances in Triple-A.

  • Jake Bauers RF | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Set for rehab assignment

    Bauers (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Bauers was placed on the 10-day injured list July 20 due to a left shoulder impingement, but he's finally ready for game action after he recently resumed full baseball activities. The 29-year-old has slashed .197/.318/.354 with five home runs, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored, five stolen bases and a 23:45 BB:K across 151 plate appearances this season. Bauers will likely be in line for a limited role off the bench for Milwaukee once he's activated from the IL.

  • Abraham Toro 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Abraham Toro: Homers against former club

    Toro went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-6 loss to Houston.

    Toro initiated a two-out, four-run rally in the seventh inning when he belted a homer against the team that drafted him in 2017 and for whom he played 93 games from 2019-21. He was a pleasant surprise for the Red Sox earlier this season, but Toro has languished since the All-Star break, slashing .194/.257/.323 with two home runs and five RBI over 20 contests. Toro continues to share first base with Romy Gonzalez.
