  • Tyler Locklear 3B | ARI

    Mariners' Tyler Locklear: Call-up on tap

    The Mariners are expected to recall Locklear from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

    Locklear wasn't able to crack the big-league roster out of spring training, but he's slashed .316/.401/.543 with 19 home runs and 17 stolen bases over 97 games at Triple-A this season. The 24-year-old isn't likely to see regular playing time after the Mariners acquired Josh Naylor, though the right-handed-hitting Locklear could draw starts over the lefty-hitting Naylor at first base when Seattle faces southpaws.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Out until at least late August

    The Brewers announced Tuesday that the goal is for Hoskins (thumb) to begin rehab assignment in late August, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    The veteran first baseman landed on the shelf in early July due to a Grade 2 thumb sprain, and his initial return timeline was about 6-to-8 weeks. Hoskins now appears to be trending toward the back end of that timeline, but he could still be activated before the end of August, depending on how long of a rehab stint he requires.

  • Jake Bauers RF | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Rehab games mid-to-late-August

    Bauers (shoulder) is going through a hitting progression and hopes to begin a rehab assignment in mid-to-late-August, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

    Bauers had previously mentioned mid-August as a target, but it would appear he's not coming along as quickly as hoped. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since just after the All-Star break with a left shoulder impingement.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | CHC

    Guardians' Carlos Santana: Out of Cleveland lineup

    Santana is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

    It looks to be a routine day off for Santana, who has just a .440 OPS so far in the second half. Kyle Manzardo will handle first base and David Fry will be the designated hitter for the Guardians.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Not expected back until next week

    Mountcastle (hamstring) is not expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list until next week's series in Philadelphia, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Mountcastle has played three rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk and is eligible for activation Wednesday, but the Orioles will give him a little more time following a nearly two-month long absence due to a right hamstring strain. With Ryan O'Hearn a candidate to be traded ahead of Thursday's deadline, Mountcastle and Coby Mayo could be in line to share the first-base and designated-hitter spots for the Orioles down the stretch.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Stays hot with 15th homer

    Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Orioles.

    He took Zach Eflin deep in the third inning to tie things up at 3-3, but Baltimore pulled away after that. Guerrero has hit safely in 10 straight games, slashing .463/.532/.780 over that span with three of his 15 homers on the season, as well as four doubles, 10 RBI and 12 runs.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Mariners' Josh Naylor: Goes deep for first time as Mariner

    Naylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in a 3-1 victory versus the Athletics on Monday.

    Naylor got the scoring started in the contest, belting a 405-foot solo blast in the second inning. The long ball was his first since making his Mariners debut July 27 as well as his first overall since July 7 (a span of 15 games). Naylor also continued to run wild Monday -- he swiped his fourth bag in his past three contests and has already blown past his previous career-high mark with 15 thefts on 17 attempts this season.

  • Luis Arraez 1B | SD

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Clubs rare homer

    Arraez went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 7-6 win against the Mets on Monday.

    Arraez struck a ball off the right-field foul pole in the fifth inning for San Diego's lone long ball of the game. It was just the sixth homer this season for the contact-focused hitter, whose career high is 10 home runs set over 147 regular-season games with Miami in 2023. Arraez's two knocks Monday extended his hitting streak to 11 games, a span in which he's batting .391 (18-for-46) with just one strikeout.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Homer, three hits in win

    Mayo went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 11-4 win over the Blue Jays.

    Mayo recorded the first three-hit effort of his career, highlighted by a 413-foot solo blast in the second inning. He's impressed since the All-Star break, going 7-for-17 with two homers, five RBI and five runs scored over seven games. The 23-year-old is slashing .240/.318/.406 with three long balls, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and one steal across 107 plate appearances, and his role moving forward may hinge on what the Orioles decide to do at this week's trade deadline.

  • Michael Busch 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Michael Busch: Reaches three times in loss

    Busch went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's 8-4 loss to the Brewers.

    As has become the norm recently against opposite-handed pitching, Busch batted leadoff with Milwaukee starting rookie righty Jacob Misiorowski. Busch has been tremendous in those matchups with a .958 OPS, 18 home runs and 56 RBI, while he frequently sits against southpaws. Even in this platoon arrangement, the 27-year-old has been able to be an impactful fantasy performer all season.
