  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Climbs to Triple-A

    The Orioles promoted Henderson from Double-A Bowie to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

    He'll be joined in Norfolk by fellow infield prospect Jordan Westburg, who also received a promotion from Bowie on Monday. The 20-year-old Henderson was slashing .312/.452/.573 with eight home runs and 12 stolen bases in 208 plate appearances at Bowie this season.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Rays' Isaac Paredes: Slugs fourth homer

    Paredes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the White Sox.

    Paredes led off the fifth frame with his fourth home run of the season. He's hit just .161 across his last 10 games, yet has slugged .419 while also collecting six RBI and four runs scored. Paredes figures to maintain increased playing time due to the absences of Wander Franco (quadriceps) and Brandon Lowe (back), but he will also compete with Vidal Brujan and Taylor Walls to be in the lineup.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: One knock in return

    Walls went 1-for-4 on Sunday against the White Sox.

    Walls returned from a three-game absence that was caused by a calf issue and hit ninth while starting at shortstop. With Wander Franco (quadriceps) and Brandon Lowe (back) sidelined, Walls should continue to get considerable playing time. However, he'll need to hit better to hold off Isaac Paredes, as Walls has hit just .087 with one RBI and three runs scored across his last 15 games.

  • Jake Burger 3B | TEX

    White Sox's Jake Burger: Displays more power

    Burger went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Rays.

    Burger entered the starting lineup in place of Yoan Moncada, who was out for rest. Burger took advantage and drove in both his runs in the first frame on a ground rule double. He has delivered four extra-base hits in his last four starts and is seemingly challenging Gavin Sheets for playing time as designated hitter.

  • Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: May be headed to IL

    The Tigers will make a determination about whether Candelario (shoulder) needs to be placed on the injured list ahead of Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Manager A.J. Hinch said Candelario felt his shoulder shift when he dove and hit the ground before exiting Sunday's game. Hinch added that he doesn't want to play with a limited roster, so it sounds like an IL stint for Candelario is likely, although he will get a "battery of tests" before then, according to Hinch. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, that decision may not be made until Tuesday, as the Tigers are off Monday.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Blue Jays' Matt Chapman: Knocks seventh home run

    Chapman went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-6 loss to Minnesota.

    Chapman hammered a solo shot in the seventh inning and scored a second run on Santiago Espinal's homer in the ninth. His 415-foot blast ended a 15-game homerless drought; he hit .245 with just four RBI during that span. On the year, Chapman is now slashing .215/.307/.373 with 14 extra-base hits through 52 contests.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Knocks in four runs

    Suarez went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI and a walk in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Rangers.

    Suarez twice pulled the Mariners even in the contest. He produced their first two runs with a solo home run and an RBI single in the fourth and fifth innings, then added a two-run double in the ninth to tie the game at 5-5. The third baseman is riding an eight-game hitting streak, going 11-for-29 (.379) in that span. For the season, he's up to a .236/.323/.472 slash line with 11 homers, 32 RBI, 31 runs scored and 11 doubles through 223 plate appearances after his second three-hit game of the year.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Cranks 12th homer

    Devers went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run and RBI in a 5-2 win against the Athletics on Sunday.

    Devers singled home a run in the first inning, walked and scored in the sixth and smacked a solo home run off A.J. Puk in the eighth to extend a Boston lead. The 25-year-old ended a five-game homer drought with the long ball, pulling him into a tie for 14th in the majors on the heels of last season's career-best mark of 38. Devers' .341/.371/.606 slash line features a batting average and slugging percentage and a .977 OPS that all rank among the top six in MLB.

  • Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Exits with shoulder injury

    Candelario left Sunday's game against the Yankees with a left shoulder injury.

    The team didn't offer any further details about the severity of the injury. Candelario dove to try to make a play on a line drive early in the game and was replaced by Harold Castro. The Tigers have an off day Monday.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Mashes 14th homer

    Ramirez went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Orioles.

    He gave the Guardians an early lead by taking Tyler Wells deep in the first inning. Ramirez has been raking since mid-May, and over his last 16 games he's slashing .310/.420/.810 with seven of his 14 homers on the season and four of his seven steals, along with 14 runs and 21 RBI.
