  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Reaches double-digit homers

    Devers went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored during Saturday's 9-0 win versus the Angels.

    The 24-year-old delivered a solo shot during the seventh inning and scored earlier in the contest on a double from Bobby Dalbec. Devers has a .279/.356/.571 slash line with 10 home runs, 11 doubles, 31 RBI and 25 runs through 38 games.

  • Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Won't play Sunday

    Candelario (knee) is dealing with some swelling and won't be in the lineup Sunday against the Cubs, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    The 27-year-old suffered the contusion on his left knee when he was hit by a pitch Saturday, and he'll receive the day off Sunday to help the swelling subside. Candelario could be back in the lineup Monday for the series opener at Seattle if he avoids any further issues.

  • Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Exits after HBP

    Candelario was removed from Saturday's game against the Cubs with a left knee contusion after being hit by a pitch.

    The 27-year-old went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored before leaving the contest. Candelario should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Reds' Mike Moustakas: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Moustakas (heel) will not start Saturday's game against Colorado.

    Moustakas has suffered a pair of injuries in the last two days. He left Thursday's game with a shoulder issue but returned to the lineup Friday, only to exit early again due to a heel contusion. Neither issue appears particularly worrisome, but Moustakas will get at least one day to rest and recover. Alex Blandino will take over at first base.

  • Nick Senzel 3B | LAD

    Reds' Nick Senzel: Remains sidelined

    Senzel (heel) remains out of the Reds' lineup Saturday against the Rockies.

    Senzel was forced to exit Thursday's game early and has not been in the starting lineup since. The Reds have said they don't expect him to miss an extended amount of time, but his absence opens playing time for Jonathan India at second base and Tyler Naquin in center field.

  • Cubs' Ildemaro Vargas: Designated for assignment

    Vargas was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Saturday.

    Vargas had served as a depth option since early May but is no longer needed now that Ian Happ (ribs) is back from the injured list. Vargas didn't do much with his infrequent opportunities, posting a .488 OPS in 24 plate appearances.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Needs rehab assignment

    Davis (hand) will need a rehab assignment before being activated from the injured list, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Davis is eligible to be activated from the injured list. However, that activation likely won't come during the team's weekend series against the Rays, as he will need at least a few swings on a rehab assignment before returning.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Yankees' Gio Urshela: Clutch home run as pinch hitter

    Urshela (knee) went 1-for-1 with a go-ahead three-run homer in Friday's 5-4 win over the Orioles.

    Urshela was held out of Friday's starting lineup due to a sore knee but still made a big impact as a pinch hitter with a three-run blast to give the Yankees a 5-4 lead in the seventh. It was the 29-year-old's fifth home run of the year and brought his RBI total up to 19. He's hit safely in 13 of his last 14 games and is slashing .298/.347/.482 on the season altogether.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Consecutive three-hit games

    Arenado went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and double in Friday's 5-4 loss to San Diego.

    Arenado's ninth-inning home run brought St. Louis to within one run while the former Rocky also recorded two hits earlier in the game. This was Arenado's second straight game with three hits and he's 8-for-22 over the last five games.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: On base four times

    Machado went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, a run and two walks in a 5-4 win over St. Louis on Friday.

    Machado accounted for half of San Diego's four hits with an RBI double in the first and single in the sixth and was easily the Padres' top hitter on the night. Despite the quality night at the dish, Machado still sports a lackluster .741 OPS.
