  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Josh Rojas: Pops first homer

    Rojas went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

    Despite the White Sox's infield getting more crowded with the addition of Colson Montgomery, Rojas continues to play nearly every day. He tallied his first home run of the season in the sixth inning Tuesday and now has one hit in four of his last five starts. While that's a very limited positive sample, Rojas is hitting a disastrous .184/.256/.250 across 169 plate appearances for the season.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Homers again

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with two walks, a home run, two RBI, two steals and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 10-6 extra-inning win over Houston.

    Ramirez got the night started with a two-run home run in the first inning to give the Guardians an early lead. It was his second straight game with a homer and his third long ball in the last four games -- it's safe to say Ramirez has moved beyond the 0-for-21 slump he endured last week. He's up to 16 home runs and 24 steals for the season.

  • Max Muncy SS | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: Launches eighth homer

    Muncy went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 10-1 win over Atlanta.

    Muncy has hit safely in eight of his last nine games, going 11-for-32 (.344) with three homers, three doubles and six RBI in that span. The infielder capped a five-run first inning for the Athletics with his blast. Muncy is up to a .222/.268/.404 slash line with eight homers, 22 RBI, 16 runs scored, seven doubles and one stolen base through his first 50 major-league games. It's unclear if Muncy will have a regular spot in the lineup once Miguel Andujar (oblique) completes his rehab assignment.

  • Nathan Eaton LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Heading to Worcester

    The Red Sox are expected to option Eaton to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    With Masataka Yoshida (shoulder) due to return from the injured list Wednesday, Eaton will end up as the man left without a place on the active roster. The 28-year-old is 6-for-24 in the majors this year with one RBI, five runs scored and three steals through 14 games, and his defensive versatility gives him a better chance to return to the Red Sox later in the year.

  • Tristan Gray SS | MIN

    White Sox's Tristan Gray: Optioned to Triple-A

    The White Sox optioned Gray to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    Gray was with the big club for only one day and did not make an appearance. He's clearing out to make room for the return of Luis Robert (hamstring) to the active roster.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Activation imminent

    Moncada (knee) is headed to Los Angeles to rejoin the Angels and is likely to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

    Moncada has missed more than a month of action with right knee inflammation but appears set to return after going 4-for-9 with a homer in three rehab games with the Angels' Arizona Complex League affiliate. The 30-year-old should regain his role as the Halos' primary third baseman, with Luis Rengifo shifting over to second base to cover for Christian Moore (thumb).

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Keeps raking Monday

    Barger went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's win over the White Sox.

    The 25-year-old took Sean Burke deep in the sixth inning, one of three Toronto homers off the right-hander on the night. Barger is up to 12 long balls on the season, including four in the last nine games -- a stretch in which he's batting .323 (10-for-31) with two doubles, six runs and 12 RBI.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Cranks three-run bomb

    Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a double and a three-run home run in Monday's win over the Astros.

    The switch-hitter delivered a three-run homer off Colton Gordon in the fifth inning to provide the power Monday. Ramirez came into the contest in a slump, batting just .139/.225/.222 with one extra-base hit and three RBI over his previous 10 games. Despite the recent struggles, he continues to post strong overall numbers, slashing .298/.361/.495 with 33 extra-base hits (15 home runs), 42 RBI and 22 stolen bases through 86 games.

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Goes deep in win

    McKinstry went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rays.

    McKinstry launched his seventh home run of the season in the seventh inning, which was one of three Detroit long balls on the night. The veteran utility player continued his strong recent play, as he's now batting .344 over his last 10 games with three home runs, four RBI and eight runs scored. Overall, McKinstry is sporting a .285 batting average and an .819 OPS, both of which are significantly above his career marks of .233 and .678, respectively.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Return this week not ruled out

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Bregman (quadriceps) will be activated from the 10-day injured list "sooner rather than later," Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    According to Cora, Bregman "feels great" and will go through "heavy" workouts Monday and Tuesday. Cora did not rule out Bregman being activated later this week during the team's series against the Rays, but a lot will depend on how the third baseman bounces back from Monday's and Tuesday's workouts. Bregman has been sidelined since late May due to a strained right quad.
