  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | HOU

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Resting Saturday

    Dubon isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Dubon's five-game hitting streak was put to an end during Friday's loss, and he'll now retreat to the bench while Jose Altuve starts at the keystone Saturday.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Battling back issues

    Massey (wrist) was pulled off his rehab assignment due to a back injury, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Massey has already dealt with ankle and wrist problems this season, and his latest back issue will further delay his return from the injured list. He doesn't have a clear return timeline at the moment, but that may change once the Royals get a chance to evaluate him further.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Pulled off assignment

    The Royals returned Massey (wrist) from his rehab assignment Saturday.

    The Royals haven't activated Massey despite returning him from his rehab assignment, which could suggest that he suffered another setback. The 27-year-old initially landed on the IL in June with a sprained left ankle, but a hairline fracture in his right wrist has extended his time on the shelf.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Extends multi-hit game streak

    Sosa went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two RBI during Friday's 6-3 win over the Angels.

    Sosa has been red hot at the plate over the last handful of games, collecting multiple hits in four straight. Over his last four games, the 25-year-old is 9-for-12 (.750 batting average) with two home runs and six RBI. On the season, the young infielder is slashing .282/.308/.436 with 11 home runs, 43 RBI and two steals in 93 games.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | KC

    Royals' Adam Frazier: Breaks home-run drought Friday

    Frazier went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Frazier gave the Royals a commanding seven-run lead in the ninth, when he took Mason Fluharty deep to right field for a two-run homer. It was Frazier's fourth home run of the season and first since June 1 against the Padres. The veteran outfielder has started in each of the Royals' last four games, and he should continue to see a bump in playing time for as long as Jac Caglianone (hamstring) is on the 10-day injured list.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Doubles in return

    India went 1-for-5 with a double and a run in Friday's 9-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    India returned Friday from a one-game absence due to a sore shoulder. He got on base in the third inning on a double and was brought home when Bobby Witt smacked a three-run homer off Kevin Gausman. India has struggled at the plate in 12 games since the All-Star break, going 7-for-46 (.152) with eight runs, four doubles, one homer and eight RBI.

  • Kody Clemens 2B | MIN

    Twins' Kody Clemens: Moves to primary option at 1B

    Clemens started at first base and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians. He looks set to be the primary first baseman after the Twins made a flurry of trades Thursday, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.

    Clemens continues to have a solid season since joining the Twins, as he hit three home runs with an .805 OPS in July. He'll likely have a regular role in the lineup the rest of the season since there doesn't appear to be a clear first baseman among the younger players the Twins will likely give trials to amid a rebuilding effort.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Homers in loss

    Torres went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Phillies.

    Torres gave the Tigers a 3-0 lead in the third inning with a 404-foot blast off Ranger Suarez. After a brief 0-for-15 slump, the 28-year-old has hit safely in four of his past five games with three home runs and eight RBI. On the season, he's slashing .275/.374/.425 with 12 homers, 53 RBI, 56 runs scored and four steals across 417 plate appearances.

  • Tristan Gray 2B | TB

    Rays' Tristan Gray: Up from Durham

    The Rays recalled Gray from Triple-A Durham on Friday.

    Just two days after being sent down to Triple-A, Gray will return to Tampa to fill some of the holes left on the roster from Thursday's trade deadline. The 29-year-old is just 1-for-6 at the plate in the majors this year but slashed .270/.333/.472 during his time with the White Sox's Triple-A affiliate.

  • Brice Matthews 2B | HOU

    Astros' Brice Matthews: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Astros optioned Matthews to Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Houston's top prospect, Matthews got his first taste of the big leagues in July and slashed .143/.211/.400 with three home runs, eight RBI, five runs scored and a 2:18 BB:K across 40 plate appearances. With Jeremy Pena (ribs) back from the IL and the addition of Carlos Correa, the Astros can let Matthews get more seasoning in the minors.
