  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Sitting again Sunday

    Jung (calf) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Jung finds himself on the bench for a fourth consecutive game as he continues to manage calf soreness. Josh Smith will pick up another start at the hot corner, opening up first base for Rowdy Tellez.

  • Miguel Vargas 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Out with oblique strain

    The White Sox placed Vargas on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.

    Vargas was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's 1-0 win due to the injury and will be sidelined for at least another nine days, though he doesn't have an official timeline for his return. Curtis Mead was called up from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move and could see time at first base while Vargas is out.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Smacks 28th homer

    Caminero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Dodgers.

    Caminero went yard in the sixth inning to tally his 28th long ball of the season. He's now gone yard five times in 15 games since the All-Star break, also delivering 12 RBI and six runs scored over that stretch.

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Diagnosed with oblique strain

    Vargas was scratched from Saturday's game against the Angels due to a left oblique strain.

    Vargas was originally slated to start at first base but was scratched just before the beginning of Saturday's contest. The White Sox later announced that Vargas is dealing with a left oblique strain and is being further evaluated. Given the nature of the injury, it wouldn't be surprising if Vargas has to miss more than just Saturday's contest, though it's not yet clear how severe the issue is. Lenyn Sosa shifted from the keystone over to first base Saturday after Vargas was pulled and may make more starts there if the latter needs to miss additional time.

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Last-minute scratch Saturday

    Vargas is no longer in the starting lineup against the Angels on Saturday.

    Vargas was originally slated to start at first base and bat cleanup, but he was removed from the lineup just before the start of the contest. It's not immediately clear what prompted his removal. Corey Julks is entering the starting nine in Vargas' place and is playing left field, while Lenyn Sosa is shifting from the keystone to first base, among other defensive changes.

  • Andy Lugo 3B | BOS

    Twins' Andy Lugo: On IL with thumb injury

    Lugo was placed on the 7-day injured list at High-A Cedar Rapids on Friday with a thumb injury, Seth Stohs of TwinsDaily.com reports.

    Lugo had been playing well since coming over in a trade for Jorge Alcala in June. He's hitting .297 with three home runs and a .855 OPS in 29 games for Cedar Rapids after hitting four home runs with a .757 OPS at High-A in the Red Sox organization.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Smacks homer in win

    Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Twins.

    Ramirez tied the game at 4-4 with a two-run blast in the fifth inning, and he also scored the go-ahead run in the eighth on a Bo Naylor double. This was Ramirez's third multi-hit effort in his last four games, though the homer was his first since July 22. The third baseman batted .265 over 26 games in July -- while that's a fine number, it was lower than what he managed in both May and June. He's added plenty of category coverage in 2025, slashing .300/.375/.526 for the year with 22 homers, 59 RBI, 70 runs scored and 32 stolen bases over 107 contests. Ramirez posted his second 30-30 campaign in 2024 and could repeat the feat if his power stays strong over the final two months of this campaign.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Out again Saturday

    Jung (calf) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

    Jung will take a third straight day off to recover from a sore calf. Josh Smith will pick up another start at third base as a result, with Rowdy Tellez starting at first.

  • Marcelo Mayer SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Receives injection

    Mayer received an injection in his right wrist Saturday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Mayer will be shut down from all activities for three days following his injection. Once they see how the 22-year-old responds to his treatment, the Red Sox will begin to plan out his next steps, which will likely involve him heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment at some point.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Josh Rojas: Homers from nine hole in win

    Rojas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's 6-3 win over the Angels.

    Rojas added a big insurance run to the White Sox's tally in the top of the ninth inning. That brings his total up to just two on the season -- an entirely forgettable campaign so far. The infielder is slashing a mere .176/.246/.261 on the season, with his .508 OPS being on pace to be the worst mark of his career in a season in which he's played at least 60 games.
