Jose Trevino C | CIN
Yankees' Jose Trevino: Swipes bag in return
Trevino went 1-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and a walk in Friday's 3-0 victory versus the Tigers.
Trevino was activated from the injured list during New York's off day Thursday after missing over a month due to a quad injury. The backstop was given a start Friday and walked in his first plate appearance, and he followed the free pass with a surprising steal of second base. It was his first theft since 2022 and just his fourth over seven big-league campaigns. Trevino will likely work in a backup role behind Austin Wells now that he is back in action.

Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Belts game-tying homer
O'Hoppe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.
Entering Friday, O'Hoppe was 0-for-28 with three walks and 13 strikeouts over his last seven games. He put the slump to rest with a game-tying blast in the fourth inning, which was his 17th homer of the season. The catcher has added a .256/.314/.434 slash line with 48 RBI, 51 runs scored, 13 doubles, a triple and two stolen bases over 104 contests. O'Hoppe still has some work to do to get back on track -- he was hitting .281 at the end of July -- but he can loosen his grip a bit now that he's ended his dry spell.

Pedro Pages C | STL
Cardinals' Pedro Pages: Homers in Friday's loss
Pages went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Dodgers.
Pages put the Cardinals ahead 4-2 with a solo shot in the fifth inning and added an RBI single in the sixth after they fell behind. The catcher's playing time has been a bit sparse in August, but he's gone 6-for-20 (.300) over seven games this month. Overall, he has a .246/.296/.362 slash line, three homers, 18 RBI, 14 runs scored and one stolen base over 143 plate appearances. Pages most often catches versus southpaws, allowing Willson Contreras to rest his legs as the designated hitter in those contests.
