  • Tommy White 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Tommy White: Bound for big leagues

    The Athletics selected White's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    White has quickly ascended the ranks of the Athletics' farm system since being drafted 40th overall in 2024, and he'll now get a chance to contribute for the big club after slashing .303/.345/.489 with nine homers, 47 RBI and 44 runs in 55 games at Las Vegas. The 23-year-old will help bolster the Athletics' corner-infield depth and could even make a handful of starts while both Nick Kurtz (thumb) and Zack Gelof (knee) are on the injured list.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Expects to play Friday

    Camerino (hand) said he plans to be in the lineup for both games of Friday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    The 23-year-old had X-rays come back negative after being hit by a pitch on the left hand during Tuesday's All-Star Game, and he doesn't expect to need any time off to begin the second half of the season. Caminero entered the break on a bit of a skid at the plate with a .143 average (4-for-28) and 32.4 percent strikeout rate in his last eight games, though all four of his hits in that span went for extra bases.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Exits All-Star Game after HBP

    Caminero was removed from the All-Star Game on Tuesday after getting hit on the hand by a pitch in the third inning, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Caminero left the game immediately after taking a 97.6-mph sinker off his left hand, though X-rays on his hand came back negative shortly after his departure, per Topkin. Caminero is considered day-to-day and will now have two days to rest and recover before the Rays begin their second-half schedule Friday in Boston.

  • Jonah Bride 3B | TEX

    Jonah Bride: Cut loose by Texas

    The Rangers released Bride on Monday.

    Bride is presumably opting out of his minor-league contract with the Rangers, as he wasn't in line for a promotion to the big club despite producing a .274/.392/.421 slash line with nine home runs and eight steals over 80 games at Triple-A Round Rock this season. The 30-year-old infielder shouldn't have much trouble landing another opportunity, though he may have to settle for a minor-league deal on the open market.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Tallies three hits in win

    Machado went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over Toronto.

    Machado collected three singles, with his RBI knock in the eighth frame tying the game at 4-4. Jase Bowen entered as a pinch runner for Machado and scored the game-winning run. The 34-year-old will head into the All-Star break swinging a hot bat, slashing .291/.381/.500 with five homers, 12 RBI, eight runs and a stolen base over his past 15 contests. Overall, he sports a .203/.290/.418 line with 19 homers, 55 RBI, 46 runs and two stolen bases across 93 games this season.

  • Weston Wilson 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Weston Wilson: First homer with Seattle

    Wilson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Rays.

    Wilson added to Seattle's lead by taking Ian Seymour deep for a solo homer in the fourth inning. It was his second long ball of the season and first since the Mariners claimed him off waivers June 18. The utility man has seen limited production with his new club, going 3-for-18 across his first 10 games with Seattle.

  • David Hamilton 3B | MIL

    Brewers' David Hamilton: Not ready to return after break

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Sunday that Hamilton (hamstring) will miss "a couple series" following the All-Star break, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    After landing on the injured list Tuesday due to a left hamstring strain, Hamilton will end up needing more than the minimum 10 days to heal up from the injury. Murphy's comments indicate that the speedy infielder will remain out for the Brewers' first six games of the second half, and it's unclear whether Hamilton will need a rehab assignment before making his return from the shelf. Joey Ortiz will likely receive the bulk of the reps at third base while Hamilton is stuck on the IL.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Alex Bregman: Homers again Sunday

    Bregman went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, an additional run scored and four total RBI in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Reds.

    Bregman goes into the All-Star break with home runs on consecutive days to give himself a little momentum after a mostly uneven first half of the season. The veteran third baseman is batting .241 with a .695 OPS, nine long balls and 41 RBI across 94 contests. During his career, Bregman's best two months by OPS are August and July, so he could be primed for continued success after the break.

  • Denzer Guzman 3B | LAA

    Angels' Denzer Guzman: Swats fourth homer

    Guzman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Twins.

    Guzman had gone 15 games without a homer, hitting .236 with two doubles in that span. The infielder provided the Angels' second run of the game when he went deep off Taj Bradley in the seventh inning. Guzman is now hitting .262 with a .718 OPS, four homers, 14 RBI, 11 runs scored, four doubles and one stolen base over 114 plate appearances this season.

  • Orioles' Blaze Alexander: Dealing with hand fracture

    Manager Craig Albernaz said Alexander was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture in his left hand after being hit by a pitch in Sunday's game against the Royals, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Alexander went 2-for-2 with a walk and two runs scored before being plunked in the bottom of the seventh inning and being replaced by a pinch runner. It's a brutal development for the 27-year-old, who is now likely to miss at least the next couple weeks after batting .365 (35-for-96) with 10 extra-base hits, three steals, 15 RBI and 16 runs in 32 games since the start of June.
