  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Key hit in win

    Yoshida went 1-for-3 with a walk, three RBI and a run scored in Friday's 9-7 win over the Yankees.

    Yoshida had the decisive blow in a wild game at Fenway Park. His eighth-inning, two-run single broke a 7-7 tie. He earlier produced a run on a sacrifice fly and scored on Ceddanne Rafaela's two-run homer in the seventh. Yoshida is batting .267/.344/.372 with four home runs, 28 RBI and 21 runs over 55 games this season.

    Tigers' Bligh Madris: Productive again Friday

    Madris went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 9-3 loss to the Twins.

    A day after collecting three hits, Madris had two more and recorded his first RBI at the MLB level since 2022. The 28-year-old is likely still just a depth option for the Tigers at best, but he could carve out a more consistent role in the short term if he continues to produce at the plate.

  • Trevor Larnach LF | MIN

    Twins' Trevor Larnach: Smacks 11th homer

    Larnach went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Friday's 9-3 win over the Tigers.

    Larnach went back-to-back with Byron Buxton in the first inning, the seventh time the Twins have hit consecutive homers this season. Larnach has three home runs in his last 11 games, but the 27-year-old is strictly a platoon player, as he only has eight at-bats against lefties this season. He's been solid in his role however, with 11 homers and a .770 OPS against right-handers.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Hoping to return Monday

    Stanton (hamstring) is aiming to return for Monday's series opener against the Phillies, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Stanton has been on the injured list since June 23 due to a left hamstring strain. He hasn't been sent on a rehab assignment, but the 34-year-old slugger still appears poised to join the Yankees following a weekend series against the Red Sox. Stanton was slashing .304/.377/.551 with five home runs and 16 RBI in June before going on the IL.

  • Rangers' Robbie Grossman: Logs two hits as DH

    Grossman started at designated hitter and went 2-for-4 in Thursday's 2-1 win over the White Sox.

    Grossman got the start at DH, which has been a revolving door for the Rangers in 2024. Justin Foscue was given a four-game run after being called up last weekend, but he went 1-for-13 with seven strikeouts and hasn't been seen since Tuesday. It's been Grossman and Travis Jankowski the last two days. Eventually, when third baseman Josh Jung (wrist) is ready to return, Josh Smith will likely settle in as the primary DH.

  • Bligh Madris DH | DET

    Tigers' Bligh Madris: Tallies first hits of 2024

    Madris went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Guardians.

    Madris was just recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, and after going hitless in his first six at-bats with the Tigers, he broke out Thursday. The 28-year-old appeared in 51 total games over the previous two seasons with the Pirates and Astros, offering little fantasy production in the process. He is unlikely to be much more than a depth option for Detroit.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Not expected back this weekend

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday he's not expecting Stanton (hamstring) to return to action for the team's series versus Boston this weekend, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Stanton continued to do work on the field Wednesday, and Boone said he thinks the slugger is "towards the end of" his rehab. However, while the manager didn't rule out Stanton being activated at some point this weekend to face the Red Sox, he also indicated that such a scenario is not an expectation. It doesn't appear that Stanton has experienced a setback, so he seems likely to return to action next week if he remains out for the Boston series.

  • Jair Camargo C | MIN

    Twins' Jair Camargo: Sent down to minors

    The Twins optioned Camargo to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

    Camargo's most recent stint with the Twins lasted two weeks, and he went hitless in just two plate appearances. The 25-year-old is still looking for his first base knock in the majors, having gone 0-for-6 in his limited opportunities.

  • Justin Turner 1B | CHC

    Blue Jays' Justin Turner: Another three-hit effort

    Turner went 3-for-4 with one RBI and one run scored in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Rays.

    Turner has logged back-to-back three-hit efforts after opening July in a 4-for-41 slide. While he didn't knock an extra-base hit Wednesday, it's still encouraging to see the veteran make better contact. For the year, he's slashing .243/.339/.359 with six home runs, 31 RBI, 35 runs scored and no stolen bases across 85 contests.

  • Tigers' Justyn-Henry Malloy: Absent from lineup

    Malloy isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cleveland, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Malloy had started each of the last four contests and batted no lower than third during that time, but he will begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Riley Greene will serve as the Tigers' designated hitter while Malloy sits.
