  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Tallies three hits Saturday

    Torres went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Saturday's 15-7 loss to the Mariners.

    Torres had been scuffling a bit, as he came into Saturday having gone just 2-for-18 in the past week, but he snapped out of the slump with his first three-hit effort since June 19. Overall, the All-Star infielder is now batting .277 with an .808 OPS and 50 runs scored across 83 games, and he's been an effective No. 2 hitter for the Tigers ahead of sluggers Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson.

  • Kody Clemens 1B | MIN

    Twins' Kody Clemens: Hits third July homer

    Clemens went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run during Saturday's 12-4 win over the Pirates.

    Clemens got the scoring started for the Twins with his third home run in July, a 389-foot, three-run blast that kickstarted a six-run second inning. The 29-year-old, who was claimed off waivers by the Twins earlier this year, continues to be a valuable power bat, as he's slashing .225/.306/.528 with 12 home runs and 26 RBI for Minnesota. With Luke Keaschall (forearm) getting closer to a return, it remains to be seen how much playing time Clemens gets on the other side of the All-Star break.

  • Zack Gelof 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Riding pine Saturday

    Gelof isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Toronto.

    Gelof will receive a day to regroup Saturday after going just 2-for-25 with 13 strikeouts since making his season debut July 4. Max Muncy will fill the void at second base and bat eighth.

  • Willi Castro LF | COL

    Twins' Willi Castro: Enjoys three-hit day

    Castro went 3-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and three RBI during Saturday's 12-4 win over the Pirates.

    Castro picked up his first multi-hit game since July 3, notching at least three hits in a game for the fifth time this season. The super-utility player has enjoyed another great season at the plate, slashing .269/.361/.442 with 14 doubles, nine homers and 24 RBI. If he can keep up the pace for the rest of the season, his .803 OPS would be his best since becoming an everyday big leaguer in 2021.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Resumes baseball activity

    Rodgers (oblique) has resumed hitting, running and throwing while rehabbing at the Astros' spring training complex in Florida, MLB.com reports.

    Rodgers has been on the shelf since June 18 due to a left oblique strain. The infielder could be ready to begin a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break is expected to return from the injured list at some point in late July.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Goes yard twice in nightcap

    Sosa went 2-for-4 with a walk and two solo home runs in the second game of Friday's doubleheader split with the Guardians.

    The 25-year-old started both games of the twin bill at second base, and after an 0-for-3 showing in the matinee, Sosa teed off against Gavin Williams in the nightcap with long balls in the first and fifth frames. Sosa's enjoying a productive stretch heading into the All-Star break, slashing .288/.315/.615 over his last 14 games with five of his nine homers on the season and 14 of his 31 RBI.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Makes impact in doubleheader

    Schneemann went 2-for-8 with a double, a solo home run, a stolen base and a second run scored across both games of Friday's doubleheader split with the White Sox.

    The utility infielder started at second base in both contests, swatting his ninth homer of the season in the matinee before swiping his sixth bag in the nightcap. Schneemann's playing time could be in jeopardy after the All-Star break, however, if Lane Thomas (foot) is ready to come off the IL and bump Angel Martinez back to the infield -- Martinez is red hot at the plate, while Schneemann hasn't had a multi-hit performance since June 25 and is slashing a meager .105/.190/.211 over his last 14 games.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Lands on injured list

    The Rays placed Lowe on the 10-day injured list Friday due to left oblique tightness.

    The 31-year-old hasn't seen the field since suffering the injury Sunday in Minnesota, and he'll spend the final series before the All-Star break on the injured list. Lowe will be unable to take part in the Midsummer Classic as a result, but he'll be eligible to be reinstated for the start of the second half July 18 versus Baltimore.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Four-hit effort in win

    Semien went 4-for-5 with one RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 11-4 win over the Angels.

    This was Semien's first multi-hit effort over nine games in July. Despite that, he is batting .313 (20-for-64) with six extra-base hits and 15 RBI over his last 15 games. For the season, the second baseman has a .239/.318/.366 slash line with 10 home runs, 47 RBI, 44 runs scored, seven stolen bases, 11 doubles and one triple over 93 contests.

  • David Hamilton SS | MIL

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Optioned to Worcester

    Hamilton was optioned to Triple-A Worcester following Thursday's game against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Hamilton had started only three of Boston's nine games since the start of July due to a heavy dose of opposing left-handed starters. There hasn't been any formal announcement, but this move could signal the return of Alex Bregman (quadriceps) on Friday. While Hamilton is hitting only .179 across 133 plate appearances, he does provide speed and defensive utility, so he could be back in the majors later in the season.
