  • 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.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Starts at third in return

    Gorman went 1-for-3 in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Padres.

    Gorman missed nearly two weeks due to lower-back pain. He started and played the whole game at third base, which is likely to be his main path to playing time while Nolan Arenado (shoulder) is on the injured list. Gorman has had a rough season, slashing .221/.310/.407 with nine home runs, 29 RBI, 31 runs scored and one stolen base across 229 plate appearances , though his .717 OPS this season is an improvement on last year's .671 mark.

  • Kody Clemens 1B | 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.

  • Javier Sanoja SS | MIA

    Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Goes deep twice in tight win

    Sanoja went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 13-12 win over the Yankees.

    It was just the second time this year that Sanoja amassed multiple RBI, and Friday marked his second three-hit attack of the campaign. The utility man has been highly effective in a part-time role lately and could be pushing for more action at third base in the absence of Connor Norby (wrist) -- Sanoja is batting .345 with three doubles, one triple and six RBI over his last 29 at-bats (11 games).

  • 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.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Comes up clutch Friday

    Stott went 1-for-1 with two walks, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 win over the Tigers.

    Stott got the Phillies on the board with a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning and then delivered what proved to be the game-winning RBI single in the eighth. The 27-year-old has now hit safely in seven of his past eight games, collecting four extra-base hits, five RBI, five runs scored and three stolen bases during that stretch. For the year, he's slashing .235/.310/.342 with seven homers, 43 RBI, 43 runs and 17 steals across 389 plate appearances.

  • Brett Wisely 2B | ATL

    Giants' Brett Wisely: Relegated to Sacramento

    The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

    The 26-year-old will be pushed out of the Giants' infield room following the return of Christian Koss (hamstring) from the injured list. Wisely owns a .208/.269/.354 slash line through 54 plate appearances in the big leagues this season but figures to be on the short list to return to San Francisco if another Giants infielder goes down.

  • Giants' Christian Koss: Activated from IL

    The Giants reinstated Koss (hamstring) from the injured list Friday.

    Koss landed on the injured list at the beginning of July with a left hamstring strain but looked pretty good during his five-game rehab assignment, going 9-for-22 at the plate with a home run, six RBI and five runs scored. Now fully healthy, he'll reclaim a spot on the Giants' bench and replace Brett Wisely on the 26-man roster.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Reinstated from injured list

    The Cardinals reinstated Gorman (back) from the injured list Friday.

    Gorman landed on the injured list July 19 with pain in his lower back, but he's been given the green light to return to St. Louis after going 3-for-13 with a homer during his rehab assignment in Double-A. With Nolan Arenado (shoulder) moving to the IL in a corresponding move, Gorman figures to step in as the Cardinals' third baseman for the short-term future.
