  • Cubs' Reese McGuire: Racks up season-high four RBI

    McGuire went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 12-5 loss to the White Sox.

    McGuire blasted homer No. 6 on the season, racking up a season-high three hits and four RBI in the process. The 30-year-old backstop has played rather sparingly as Carson Kelly's backup behind the plate, but the former has been quite useful when the latter has needed a day off amid Miguel Amaya's (oblique) absence. Through 23 outings, McGuire is hitting .243 with six homers, one double and 15 RBI covering 74 at-bats.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Smacks homer Friday

    Langeliers went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 15-3 win over the Astros.

    Langeliers saw his six-game hitting streak end Thursday, but he bounced back with a strong performance Friday. The catcher piled on for the Athletics in the fourth inning, with his homer stretching the team's lead to 9-0. He has gone 13-for-31 (.419) with three homers and nine RBI over eight games since the All-Star break. Langeliers is up to a .248/.305/.467 slash line with 15 long balls, 40 RBI, 34 runs scored, 15 doubles and four stolen bases across 74 contests and is trending up after an uneven first half of the campaign.

  • Jonah Heim C | TEX

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Smashes ninth homer in win

    Heim went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and walk in Friday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

    Heim smashed his ninth homer of the campaign and his first since June 25 in Baltimore. The switch-hitting backstop had begun to fall behind Kyle Higashioka (hamstring) for playing time behind the dish, but the former should serve as Texas' top option at catcher at least until the latter is healthy. That said, Heim owns a .681 OPS over 17 games in July, whereas Higashioka has a .963 OPS across his 13 outings this month.

  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Tallies first career four-hit game

    Quero went 4-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 12-5 win over the Cubs.

    It was Quero's first career four-hit game, and it was the sixth time he's recorded at least three knocks this season. Although the 22-year-old switch-hitting backstop's fantasy upside remains limited by Chicago's lackluster lineup, he's becoming one of the lone bright spots for the White Sox. Since the start of June, Quero is slashing .301/.362/.430 with two home runs, six doubles and 13 RBI.

  • Rangers' Kyle Higashioka: Not playing Friday

    Higashioka (hamstring) is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against Atlanta on Friday.

    Higashioka will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to a mild hamstring strain that he suffered during the Rangers' win over the Athletics on Tuesday. Jonah Heim will serve behind home plate and bat seventh.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Could be reinstated soon

    Manager Tony Mansolino said Friday that Rutschman (oblique) will catch the next two games at Triple-A Norfolk and could be reinstated soon after, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    An earlier report stated there was a possibility that Rutschman would return Friday, but he'll need at least a few more days before rejoining the Orioles. Rutschman hasn't appeared in an MLB game in over a month due to a strained left oblique. He's played in two rehab games so far, going 1-for-6 with a double, two walks and a strikeout.

  • Orioles' Jacob Stallings: Sitting again Friday

    Stallings is not in the Orioles' starting lineup against the Rockies on Friday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Stallings will sit for a second consecutive game while Alex Jackson serves behind home plate and bats ninth. Stallings has struggled at the plate this season and has gone 3-for-30 (.100) since the beginning of July.

  • Jair Camargo C | MIN

    Jair Camargo: Let go by Minnesota

    The Twins released Camargo on Thursday.

    The 26-year-old was designated for assignment by Minnesota earlier in the week, and he won't stick around the organization. Camargo struggled to a .212/.258/.319 slash line in 31 games with Triple-A St. Paul this season.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Sitting down Thursday

    O'Hoppe isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

    Despite going 8-for-17 since the All-Star break, O'Hoppe will miss a second consecutive start Thursday while Travis d'Arnaud catches for starter Yusei Kikuchi and bats seventh.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Out of Houston lineup

    Diaz is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

    It looks to be a routine day off after Diaz started at catcher in each of the Astros' previous two contests. Victor Caratini will be behind the dish and bat second in Thursday's series opener.
