  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Records four more hits

    Devers went 4-for-5 with a double, home run, four RBI and two runs in a 13-7 victory against the Orioles on Sunday.

    The 22-year-old became the first MLB player with more than 100 RBI this season with his four runs driven in during the comeback win. He's red hot right now, going 20-for-37 (.541) in his last eight games, which has raised his average almost 20 points in about 10 days. Devers is contributing in multiple categories, though, with a .335 average, 27 home runs, 102 runs and eight steals in 499 at-bats this season.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Could return for Minnesota series

    White Sox manager Rick Renteria said Moncada (hamstring) could return during the series against the Twins that begins Monday, Doug Padilla of the Chicago Sun-TImes reports.

    Moncada looks ready to return after going 4-for-12 in the first three games of his rehab assignment before getting the day off Sunday.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Reaches 30-homer mark again

    Bregman went 4-for-4 with a homer, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Athletics.

    Bregman's three-run shot in the fifth inning put the Astros on top and ended up being the deciding play of the game. The AL MVP candidate has knocked 30 homers for the second consecutive season and needs just one more to tie his career best of 31. Bregman has 83 RBI and 93 runs scored alongside a .974 OPS.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Expects to be available Tuesday

    Davis (calf) hopes to play in Tuesday's series opener against the Indians, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Davis was pulled from Sunday's game after a pinch-hit single, and while he appeared to aggravate his right calf, he stated after the contest that he feels fine. "Coaches and athletic trainers told me if I got on base to take it easy, not provoke it or bother it," said Davis. "I didn't feel it, and that was a good sign for me." Following a scheduled off day Monday, the team will likely re-evaluate Davis on Tuesday to determine his status for New York's upcoming series with Cleveland.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Socks two homers

    Arenado went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Sunday's 7-6 win over Miami.

    Arenado ripped a solo blast in the first inning before giving Colorado a late lead with his two-run shot in the eighth. After hitting just seven homers in all of June and July, the 28-year-old slugger has already launched eight in August, giving him 30 for the season.

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Appears to aggravate calf

    Davis delivered an RBI pinch-hit single in his seventh-inning at-bat in Sunday's game against the Royals but appeared to aggravate his right calf injury while running the bases, Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports reports.

    Davis dealt with a sore calf coming out of Friday's series opener and was withheld from the lineup both Saturday and Sunday, though the Mets made him available off the bench in both contests. The decision to pull Davis from the contest after he ran from first to third base on Tomas Nido's double didn't seem to be a strategic choice, given that Davis had pinch hit for Aaron Altherr and the Mets didn't have any reserve outfielders available. The Mets should provide an update on Davis' condition after the contest, but the 26-year-old now looks in danger of missing further starts on account of the setback.

  • Drew Robinson 3B | TEX

    Cardinals' Drew Robinson: Has 'progressive' TJ surgery

    Robinson (elbow) had a partial Tommy John surgery on his left elbow Thursday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Robinson was put on the injured list at Triple-A Memphis back on June 26 with the injury, and Thursday's surgery was considered just a partial repair of the elbow. That puts Robinson on a timeline to likely return by the beginning of spring training. The fact that Robinson throws right-handed even though he hits left-handed should help with a speedier recovery time than that usually associated with a full Tommy John surgery as well. Robinson spent five games at the big-league level this past season, but the majority of his time (55 games) was logged with the Redbirds, for which he slashed .265/.385/.423 over 234 plate appearances.

  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Giants' Evan Longoria: Gets breather Sunday

    Longoria is not in Sunday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.

    He is hitting .320 with two home runs in 50 at-bats this month. Donovan Solano will start at third base and hit eighth in his stead.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Ends multi-hit drought

    Machado went 2-for-5 with a double Saturday in the Padres' 5-3 win over the Phillies.

    The multi-hit effort was Machado's first since Aug. 4, ending a 4-for-39 skid over the Padres' 10 games in between. Machado has yet to slug a home run in August and has supplied a lowly .664 OPS since mashing three home runs in the Padres' first two games out of the All-Star break.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Davis (calf) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Royals. He is available off the bench, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

    He has been dealing with right calf tightness since Thursday. Aaron Altherr will start in left field and hit eighth. The Mets have an off day Monday, so perhaps that will give Davis enough time to get right for a three-game series against the Indians.
