  • Danny Jansen C | MIL

    Rays' Danny Jansen: Pops 10th homer

    Jansen went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two runs scored and two walks Friday against the Orioles.

    Jansen popped the home run in his first plate appearance of the game, bringing his total to 10 on the season. That surpasses his total from 2024, and he's also shown some signs of hitting for a better average by going 13-for-50 (.260) with 11 RBI and 10 runs scored across the last month. Jansen continues to draw around four starts per week behind the plate for the Rays.

  • Rangers' Kyle Higashioka: Runs hit streak to six games

    Higashioka went 2-for-3 with a double in Friday's 2-0 win over the Tigers.

    Higashioka's bat has come alive of late. He's hit safely in six straight, going 9-for-24 (.375) with two home runs, a double and four RBI during the streak. He continues to share the catching with Jonah Heim while both get opportunities as the DH.

    Stephenson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a two-run home run in Friday's 8-4 win over the Mets.

    Starting at DH and batting seventh, Stephenson socked the fourth of Cincinnati's four homers on the night by taking Alex Carrillo deep in the sixth inning. The blast snapped a 21-game homerless drought for Stephenson, as the 28-year-old backstop went into the All-Star break slashing just .176/.275/.221 during that slump. On the season, he sports a .727 OPS with seven home runs and 29 RBI in 55 contests.

  • Mitch Garver C | SEA

    Mariners' Mitch Garver: Smacks homer in Friday's win

    Garver went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-1 win over the Astros.

    Garver has homered in back-to-back contests, and five of his six homers this season have come since June 20. He won't unseat Cal Raleigh as the starting catcher, but more consistency at the plate should allow Garver more looks as the designated hitter, particularly against southpaws. For the season, Garver is slashing .226/.314/.368 with 22 RBI, 16 runs scored and three stolen bases over 175 plate appearances.

  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Blasts second career home run

    The 22-year-old rookie got the White Sox on the board early, launching a 391-foot solo shot off Bailey Falter in the first inning for his second career MLB home run. He later added a double in the seventh, marking his third career multi-extra-base-hit game. Quero has found success at the plate recently, going 6-for-21 (.286) with two homers over his last seven contests while continuing to earn opportunities in the middle of Chicago's lineup
