  • Luis Rengifo 3B | LAA

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Resting for series finale

    Rengifo is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Rengifo will get a breather for the matinee contest after he started in each of the Halos' last eight contests. After picking up a start in the infield in Wednesday's 3-2 win while Christian Moore was on the bench, Kevin Newman will be awarded a second straight start with Rengifo getting Thursday off.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Moves to 60-day IL

    The Yankees transferred Cabrera (ankle) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday.

    Cabrera suffered a fracture as well as ligament damage to his left ankle May 12 and underwent surgery soon thereafter. While the Yankees haven't officially ruled Cabrera out for the season, the infielder is unlikely to return until late in September or perhaps October, if the club is able to make a playoff run. With that in mind, Cabrera's move to the 60-day IL is merely procedural, as it opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for reliever Jayvien Sandridge, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Sparks offense in win

    Garcia went 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple, four RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

    Garcia fell just a double shy of the cycle, launching a three-run homer in the third inning and adding an RBI triple in the eighth. Through 14 June contests, the 25-year-old has delivered six multi-hit efforts with eight extra-base hits, 11 RBI, nine runs scored and five stolen bases. He's now slashing .318/.377/.500 with eight homers, 36 RBI, 33 runs scored and 15 steals across 294 plate appearances in what continues to be a breakout campaign.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Hot streak continues with four hits

    Caminero went 4-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 12-8 win over Baltimore.

    It was the second four-hit attack of the year by Caminero, who continues to tear the cover off the ball. The hard-hitting third baseman has nine homers and 10 doubles over his last 25 outings, slashing .323/.385/.697 with 28 RBI, two stolen bases and 25 runs scored covering 109 plate appearances during this stretch. Caminero's 2024 campaign may have been beset by injury, but he's beginning to display the slugging potential that helped make him one of the top prospects in baseball a year ago.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | HOU

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Sitting in second straight

    Urias is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    Urias will take a seat for the second game in a row and looks to be moving into more of a part-time role now with Jordan Westburg having taken back over as the Orioles' primary third baseman following his return from the injured list last Tuesday. The Orioles should still be able to find room in the lineup for Urias against left-handed pitching, but his opportunities to play against righties could become more sporadic.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Will get tested out Wednesday

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Bregman (quad) will undergo testing Wednesday to see where he's at strength-wise and to determine what's next in his progression, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Recovering from a right quad strain, Bregman resumed running in early June but noted last week he is running at only about 50 percent intensity. It's possible he'll receive the go-ahead Wednesday to accelerate his rehab, but the Red Sox should have more on the third baseman's status later this week. Bregman could skip a rehab assignment, but even if that happens he does not appear close to returning.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Reaches base four times

    Paredes went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, two walks and a run scored Tuesday against the Athletics.

    Paredes sat out Houston's weekend series against the Twins due to a hamstring injury but has now started two straight contests. He chipped in during a 13-run offensive explosion for Houston on Tuesday while collecting his fourth extra-base hit in his last four starts. In 12 games since the beginning of June, Paredes has four homers, 12 RBI and eight runs scored, continuing his strong performance this season.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Gio Urshela: Two hits off bench in return

    Urshela went 2-for-2 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 13-3 loss to the Astros.

    Urshela missed just under four weeks due to a left hamstring strain. He didn't start Tuesday, but he was the only Athletic to log multiple hits in the contest. It's unclear if he'll be able to regain a regular role in the Athletics' infield -- his best bet for playing time is likely to challenge Max Muncy at third base, though Muncy is hitting a respectable .261 (12-for-46) in June compared to his .211 average on the year. Urshela is at a .240/.290/.360 slash line with no home runs, 14 RBI, four runs scored, 10 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases across 109 plate appearances this season. Even if he gains a starting role in the short term, Miguel Andujar (oblique) could displace Urshela once healthy.

  • Jonah Bride 3B | MIN

    Twins' Jonah Bride: Ends slump

    Bride started at third base and went 1-for-2 in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Reds. He ended an 0-for-25 skid at the plate with a fifth-inning single before he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning.

    Bride was hitting just .133 with a .378 OPS in 20 games since May 1 before Tuesday. He was likely a candidate to be sent down or released, but now he could see an increase in playing time if he can get going at the plate with Royce Lewis back on the injured list with a groin injury.

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Delivers walk-off

    Barger went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 5-4 win over Arizona.

    Barger and Bo Bichette hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and Barger's served as a walk-off. The long ball was Barger's eighth of the season and sixth since May 30. He's been hot at the plate lately, going 18-for-60 (.300) with 14 runs scored and 12 RBI in his last 16 games.
