    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Still out Sunday

    Marte (personal) isn't in the starting lineup Sunday against St. Louis.

    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that "all indications" were that Marte would be back with the team Sunday, per SI.com, but the star second baseman isn't on the lineup card for a third straight contest coming out of the All-Star break. It's not clear if Marte will be available off the bench, but he'd first need to be removed from the restricted list. Blaze Alexander is picking up another start at the keystone in Marte's stead.

  • Adael Amador SS | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: Returns to majors

    Colorado called up Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, Christian Saez of TheDNVR.com reports.

    With Ryan Ritter (finger) landing on the 10-day IL on Sunday, Amador was summoned to provide depth in the infield. The 22-year-old struggled in a big-league stint earlier this season, slashing .146/.240/.225 with one home run, five RBI, one steal and a 24.5 percent strikeout rate over 33 contests. Amador has been swinging a hot bat of late with Albuquerque though, going 13-for-36 (.361 batting average) with eight RBI over his past eight games.

  • Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Scores three times in win

    Alexander went 2-for-3 with an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Cardinals.

    Alexander singled and scored in his first two plate appearances and then crossed the plate again after reaching on an error. He's hit safely in four straight contests and has an RBI in three consecutive games. Alexander's started both games following the All-Star break, filling in at second base for Ketel Marte, who was on the restricted list while dealing with a personal issue at home. Marte is expected to return Sunday, which likely means Alexander will get bumped to the bench.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Connects for sixth homer

    Rojas went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Brewers.

    Rojas got a rare start versus a right-handed pitcher (Freddy Peralta) as the Dodgers gave the slumping Mookie Betts the day off. Rojas has primarily served as a short-side platoon option at third base, though he can cover second base and shortstop in a pinch. The infielder is up to six homers, 14 RBI, 18 runs scored, one stolen base and a .261/.308/.440 slash line through 144 plate appearances this season.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Cranks 11th homer

    Edman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Brewers.

    Edman ended a brutal slump at the plate -- he was 0-for-26 across his last seven games. The utility player also hadn't homered since June 15, going 23 contests without a long ball while hitting .154 with four doubles in that span. Edman is now slashing .224/.279/.401 with 11 homers, 40 RBI, 41 runs scored and three stolen bases over 298 plate appearances. He continues to fill a near-everyday role when healthy, and he's currently splitting time between third base (versus righties) and second base (versus lefties).

  • Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Three hits against White Sox

    Gonzales went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the White Sox.

    Gonzales reached base in each of his first three at-bats, highlighted by an RBI double in the fifth inning. It was his first multi-hit effort since July 4, and he entered Saturday's game hitting just .097 across his last nine contests. Despite the slow stretch, Gonzales is still batting .271/.327/.429 across 153 plate appearances for the season.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Drives in five runs

    Albies went 2-for-4 with a home run, five RBI, one run scored, one walk and one stolen base in Saturday's 12-9 loss to the Yankees.

    Albies launched his ninth home run of the season and racked up five RBI in Saturday's loss, though a bullpen meltdown spoiled the victory. The switch hitter has struggled throughout 2025, entering the game with a .614 OPS, 21 extra-base hits, 33 RBI and seven stolen bases across 96 games. He's come out of the All-Star break hot, however, with two homers and nine RBI through the first two games of the second half.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Expected back Sunday

    Marte (personal) is in Arizona and is likely to return to the Diamondbacks' lineup Sunday versus St. Louis, per SI.com.

    Marte was placed on the restricted list Friday while dealing with a personal matter. The All-Star second baseman missed Arizona's first two games of the second half as a result, but it appears he'll be back in action Sunday. Blaze Alexander has started at the keystone for the Diamondbacks in each of the two contests that Marte has been absent for.

  • Thomas Saggese SS | STL

    Cardinals' Thomas Saggese: Back with Cards

    The Cardinals recalled Saggese from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Saggese was sent to Memphis on Thursday after batting .133 in the majors since June 20, but he'll now return to St. Louis to make up for the loss of Nolan Gorman (back). Saggese is slashing .233/.256/.326 with 10 RBI and six runs scored through 90 MLB plate appearances on the year and could see regular time at the keystone until Gorman recovers.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Lands on IL

    The Cardinals placed Gorman on the 10-day injured list Saturday with lower-back pain, retroactive to Friday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Gorman's back began bothering him right before the All-Star break. After getting the week to rest, the 25-year-old was still unable to return to the starting nine Friday and will now remain out until at least July 28. Thomas Saggese will return to St. Louis to fill the open roster spot and may take over as the Cardinals' primary second baseman.
