  • Blue Jays' Anthony Santander: Still not hitting

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Santander (shoulder) has not resumed hitting but could do so "hopefully soon," Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Santander's progress from a left shoulder subluxation has been slow, as he's already missed nearly six weeks of action and still isn't ready to swing a bat. Once cleared to swing, Santander will need time to ramp things back up and is sure to require a rehab assignment before being activated. He is not eligible to return until late July after being shifted to the 60-day injured list last week.

  • Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Goes on family emergency list

    The Guardians placed Manzardo on the family medical emergency list Monday.

    By rule, Manzardo must miss the team's next three games and a maximum of seven contests. The Guardians could mix and match at designated hitter against right-handed pitching until Manzardo returns to the lineup.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Likely returning Wednesday

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Yoshida (shoulder) will "most likely" be activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Yoshida has played five rehab games between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester, going 4-for-14 with a 2:2 K:BB. He is with the Red Sox in Boston and will go through a workout Monday and "probably" another one Tuesday, according to Cora, before being activated for his season debut if all goes well. Yoshida's role upon his return is unclear, as Boston has already been struggling to find regular playing time for all its outfield and designated-hitter options. Yoshida made three starts at DH and two in left field during his rehab assignment.

  • Mike Trout CF | LAA

    Angels' Mike Trout: Hits 14th homer Sunday

    Trout went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's loss to Toronto.

    Trout got the Angels on the board with a first-inning solo shot and also reached via a free pass for the fourth straight contest. While the veteran slugger has reached base safely in each of the past 11 games in which he's started, he doesn't have any multi-hit performances during that span, though he's posted a 15:14 BB:K . Trout has played 63 games this season (already more than he played in 2024 or 2021) and is slashing .231/.254/.443 with 14 home runs, 32 RBI, 32 runs and two stolen bases.

  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Doubles, scores twice

    Diaz went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's extra-inning win over Minnesota.

    Diaz started the day 0-for-3 before singling and scoring a run in the eighth inning. He then ripped an RBI double and scored again in the 10th. After six straight games with multiple hits in late June, Diaz has produced four multi-hit performances over his last 11 appearances. The veteran slugger is now slashing .289/.345/.472 with 33 extra-base hits and 52 RBI through 84 games.

  • Ben Rice C | NYY

    Yankees' Ben Rice: Resting Sunday

    Rice is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Rice will head to the bench after starting three of the last four games and going 4-for-15 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and two runs. The Yankees will open Sunday's contest with Austin Wells behind the plate, Paul Goldschmidt at first base and Giancarlo Stanton as their designated hitter.

  • Jorge Soler DH | LAA

    Angels' Jorge Soler: Resting Sunday

    Soler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Soler will get a breather after struggling at the dish since being activated from the injured list Tuesday, going 2-for-15 with a home run and a 3:9 BB:K in five games. Gustavo Campero will cover right field and bat eighth.

  • Blue Jays' George Springer: Remains hot with homer Saturday

    Springer went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 extra-innings win against the Angels.

    Springer supplied the bulk of Toronto's runs in regulation with a two-run blast to center field in the third inning. That was his fifth long ball through five games in July, and the veteran slugger has also collected multiple hits in each of those contests. The hot streak has resulted in a scorching .545 batting average (12-for-22) and 13 RBI so far this month, and with 16 homers and 53 RBI on the campaign, Springer is already approaching his totals (19 and 56, respectively) across 145 contests last season.

  • Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Resting Saturday

    Manzardo isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

    After going 0-for-5 in Friday's series opener, Manzardo will take a day off to regroup while Jose Ramirez works as Cleveland's DH. Daniel Schneemann will move to third base as a result, and Angel Martinez will start at second.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Returning during homestand

    Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Yoshida (shoulder) will return from the injured list during Boston's upcoming homestand, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    The Boston skipper didn't say exactly when Yoshida will be activated, but his comments confirm that the 31-year-old outfielder will return before the All-Star break. However, it's unclear what kind of role Yoshida will play upon his return, as the team is already juggling five outfielders on its active roster.
