  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Snaps hitless run

    Bregman went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Cardinals.

    Bregman's seventh-inning double snapped a run of 16 at-bats without a hit. The young third baseman is batting a career-low .259, but Bregman offers more than enough value to offset the drop on average. He's tied for 10th in home runs (26), 12th in runs scored (76) and 17th in OPS (.914).

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Hits two-run homer

    Davis went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in a 3-0 victory against the Pirates on Saturday.

    The 26-year-old accounted for half of the Mets offense with his two hits. Davis has multiple hits in each of his last five games where he registered at least two at-bats. He's batting .297 with 10 home runs, 28 RBI and 32 runs in 236 at-bats this season.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Hot streak continues

    Suarez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 3-1 victory against the Rockies on Saturday.

    The 28-year-old is having a great month, particularly in the home run category. He has 11 homers in 75 at-bats, giving him 28 on the season. Suarez is also 9-for-23 (.391) in his last seven contests. The great month has placed him well on the way to setting a career high in the home run department; Suarez hit a career-best 34 homers last year. He is batting .255 with 46 extra-base hits, 69 RBI, 55 runs and two steals in 373 at-bats this season.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Athletics' Matt Chapman: Delivers two-run homer

    Chapman went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Rangers.

    Chapman's blast came in the fifth inning off Rangers starter Adrian Sampson, extending the Athletics' lead to 4-0 at the time. The homer broke an 0-for-10 slump over the previous three games for Chapman. The third baseman is hitting .270 with 23 homers, 61 RBI and 67 runs scored this season.

  • Royce Lewis 1B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Moving to Double-A

    Lewis was promoted to Double-A Pensacola on Saturday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Lewis had an uninspiring .238/.289/.376 slash line with 10 homers in 94 games with High-A Fort Myers, but he's looked much better over the last 22 games with an .831 OPS and five home runs in 101 plate appearances. The Twins' top prospect will look to carry over his recent success for the tail end of the season with the Blue Wahoos.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Big night against Twins

    Moncada went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Twins.

    He did commit an error that led to Minnesota's only run on the night, but Moncada more than made up for the defensive gaffe at the plate. Over his last 10 games, the 24-year-old is slashing .325/.372/.700 with four homers and 10 RBI, a surge that has gotten him to the 20-HR plateau for the first time in his career.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Yankees' Gio Urshela: Powers offense with four hits

    Urshela went 4-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI, a home run and a double in Saturday's 9-5 loss to the Red Sox.

    Urshela also rolled his ankle but never exited the contest, and manager Aaron Boone indicated after the game the team believes he's okay, per Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger. The 27-year-old has a .318/.333/.705 slash line with four home runs and five doubles in 13 games since the All-Star break.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Dealing with minor groin strain

    LeMahieu has a low-grade groin strain and is considered day-to-day, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

    LeMahieu was withheld from Saturday's lineup due to the issue, but it's currently unclear whether he'll be available for Sunday's series finale. The infielder believes he can play through the injury, but it remains to be seen whether the team feels the same way.

  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Giants' Evan Longoria: May return in early August

    Manager Bruce Bochy said Longoria (foot) could rejoin the Giants in 10-14 days, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    The Giants previously indicated Longoria could be activated during the current road trip -- which runs through Aug. 4 -- but that no longer appears to be the case. The veteran third baseman moved to the injured list in mid-July with a strained plantar fascia in his left foot, and he only just began a running program Saturday. Pablo Sandoval will continue to see the bulk of starts at third base.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Sitting again Saturday

    Riley is not in the lineup Saturday against the Phillies.

    Riley is hitting just .169 with a 41.5 percent strikeout rate this month (18 games), so he'll head to the bench for the third time in as many games as Ender Inciarte picks up another start in the outfield in his stead.
