    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Day-to-day with groin injury

    Rays manager Kevin Cash said Thursday that Diaz (groin) is day-to-day, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Diaz had to be lifted from Thursday's game in Baltimore in the fifth inning with right groin tightness. While the injury is considered minor, it's possible Diaz is held out of action this weekend in Toronto as a precaution.

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Leaves game with groin tightness

    Diaz was removed from Thursday's game in Baltimore in the fifth inning with right groin tightness, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Diaz went 1-for-2 with a single and a run scored before being lifted for a pinch hitter. With just three games remaining, the injury could end Diaz's season even if it's just a day-to-day issue. The Rays could provide more on his status after Thursday's contest.

  • Kyle Schwarber LF | PHI

    Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Makes history in Wednesday's rout

    Schwarber went 4-for-5 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 11-1 win over the Marlins.

    While he paces the National League in long balls with 56 and sits two homers back of Ryan Howard's club-record 58 with four games to go, Schwarber set a major-league record in Wednesday's rout with his third-inning shot off Ryan Weathers. An incredible 23 of Schwarber's blasts this season have come off left-handed pitching, breaking the MLB record for a left-handed hitter that had been held by Matt Olson (2021) and Hall of Famer Stan Musial (1949). Schwarber suddenly has a very realistic chance at setting a new Phillies record for home runs in a season, having gone yard six times in the last 10 contests.

  • George Valera CF | CLE

    Guardians' George Valera: Swats second homer

    Valera went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Tigers.

    The 24-year-old rookie took Jack Flaherty deep in the third inning, giving Cleveland a 2-1 lead the team wouldn't relinquish. Valera has started five of six games against right-handed pitching since being added to the 28-man roster, four at DH and one in right field, and he's gone 8-for-33 (.242) with two doubles, two homers, five runs and five RBI.

  • Marcell Ozuna DH | ATL

    Braves' Marcell Ozuna: Homers Wednesday

    Ozuna went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a pair of walks in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Nationals.

    Ozuna cut Atlanta's deficit to 4-2 in the eighth inning with a 404-foot blast off Jackson Rutledge. It was Ozuna's 21st homer of the year and his first in 33 games. It's been a disappointing year overall for the 34-year-old Ozuna, though he's swung the bat better of late, going 13-for-42 (.310) with an .884 OPS in his last 12 contests.

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Launches 34th long ball

    Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday in a 4-3 win over St. Louis.

    Devers tied the score at 2-2 in the third inning with a 376-foot poke over the right-field wall. It was his third homer over his past five games and increased his total on the season to 34 long balls. Devers has hit more homers in a regular season only once in his career -- in 2021, when he smacked 38 home runs while with Boston.

  • Jorge Polanco 2B | NYM

    Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Continues to roll in easy win

    Polanco went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-2 win over Colorado.

    Polanco socked his third homer of the month and his 25th of the season. The veteran infielder slugged .862 during an unbelievable April before skidding in May and June, but he's been heating back up at the right time for the playoff-bound Mariners. Polanco has an .891 OPS with 14 bombs, 21 doubles and 37 RBI over 69 games since the start of July, raising his OPS for the year from .736 as of the end of June to .816 following Wednesday.

  • Mike Trout CF | LAA

    Angels' Mike Trout: Resting Wednesday

    Trout is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Royals on Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Trout will get a rest day Wednesday while Yoan Moncada serves as the designated hitter and bats third. Trout has gone 14-for-67 (.209) with two home runs, five RBI and 11 runs scored since Sept. 1, and his homer against the Rockies on Saturday was the 400th of his major-league career.

  • Blue Jays' Anthony Santander: Back in lineup as DH, hitting fifth

    Santander (shoulder) is in the starting lineup and batting fifth as the designated hitter for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Santander was officially activated from the injured list Tuesday, but this marks his first start since May 29 due to a left shoulder injury. It's been a 2025 season to forget for Santander to this point, as he slashed just .179/.273/.304 with six home runs, 18 RBI, 14 runs scored and a 24:55 BB:K across 209 plate appearances prior to his lengthy stay on the injured list. With the Blue Jays fighting for the AL East crown this final week, Santander will look to provide a source of power in the middle of Toronto's lineup.

  • David Fry C | CLE

    Guardians' David Fry: Out 6-8 weeks with facial fractures

    The Guardians announced Wednesday that Fry will be sidelined six-to-eight weeks after sustaining multiple minimally displaced left-sided facial and nasal fractures in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.

    After being placed on the 10-day IL, Fry's season is likely over, even if the Guardians make the playoffs and advance all the way to the World Series. Fry was injured while attempting to bunt a 99-mph fastball from Tarik Skubal in the bottom of the sixth inning Tuesday. Instead, he fouled it off, and the ball hit Fry squarely in the face. Fry doesn't need surgery and is said to be resting comfortably after he was discharged from the hospital. Fry had a down 2025 season that saw him slash just .171/.229/.363 with eight home runs, 23 RBI, 16 runs scored, one stolen base and a 9:58 BB:K across 157 trips to the plate. He should be recovered well ahead of spring training.
