  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Pops 13th homer

    Pena went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Red Sox.

    Pena led off the home half of the first inning with his 13th home run of the season and second since he was activated from the injured list at the start of August. In 11 games since his return, he's also chipped in five RBI, four runs scored and two stolen bases while hitting .289.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Homers in loss

    Arias went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 13-4 loss to the Marlins.

    Arias tied the game at 4-4 with a three-run blast off Eury Perez in the fourth inning. In 16 games since returning from the injured list July 26, the 25-year-old Arias has gone 15-for-58 (.259 average) with three homers, 12 RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base. For the year, he's slashing .236/.290/.393 with nine home runs, 43 RBI, 33 runs scored and four steals across 342 plate appearances.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Getting breather Wednesday

    Correa is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Red Sox.

    It's the first day off for Correa since he was traded back to the Astros at the deadline. Houston will have Ramon Urias at third base and batting seventh in Wednesday's rubber match with Boston.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Swipes bag Tuesday

    Pena went 3-for-5 with a stolen base during Tuesday's 14-1 loss to Boston.

    Pena produced one-third of Houston's hits during the blowout -- all singles -- and notched his 17th stolen base of the campaign. The shortstop is now three steals shy of tying his career high in the category after logging a steal in back-to-back games. Pena is 12-for-41 (.293) with a homer, two doubles and a triple during August.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Hits in cage

    Meidroth (thumb) hit off a pitching machine prior to Tuesday's game against the Tigers, MLB.com reports.

    Meidroth landed on the injured list Thursday but had been sidelined by the injury since early August. He is reportedly feeling better and has begun to ramp up his activity as a result. Meidroth is eligible to be activated Aug. 15, which looks to be a realistic possibility.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Smacks three-run homer in easy win

    Volpe went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 9-1 win over the Twins.

    The speedy shortstop belted his 18th homer of the year, and he tallied at least three RBI for the seventh time in 2025. While Volpe has a middling .708 OPS for the campaign, he remains well within striking distance of a 20-20 season. Over his last 133 at-bats (36 games), he's slugging .436 with 13 extra-base hits, 21 RBI and six stolen bases despite a .195 batting average.

  • Taylor Walls SS | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Placed on 10-day IL

    Walls (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Walls has been sidelined with a left groin strain since Saturday, and he will now be forced to spend time on the IL. Outfielder Tristan Peters was called up from Triple-A Durham to replace Walls on the major-league roster.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Back to hitting

    Wilson (forearm) resumed a hitting progression Tuesday, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.

    Wilson has been prevented from hitting since suffering a left forearm fracture in late July, but it appears he's now been cleared for full baseball activities. Assuming the 23-year-old avoids any setbacks as he continues to ramp up his rehab work, he could be back with the A's within the next week or two.

  • Josh H. Smith SS | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Smith: Logs two hits in win

    Smith started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

    Smith doubled to kick off a four-run sixth-inning that brought the Rangers back into the contest. The double was his 20th and the run scored his team-leading 58th through 107 games. Smith has been seeing time in left field with Evan Carter (back) on the IL, but Carter is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday and could rejoin the club for a road trip in Toronto beginning Friday. That would put Smith back into a useful super-utility role, filling in wherever needed.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Belts two long balls in victory

    Neto went 3-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs, an additional run scored and two walks in a 7-4 win against the Dodgers on Monday.

    Neto began the Angels' half of the first inning with a bang, tagging All-Star hurler Yoshinobu Yamamato for a leadoff homer. He added a second solo shot in the sixth inning, giving the young shortstop his first multi-homer game of the campaign. Neto reached five times overall, with his final trip to first base coming on an intentional walk. The 24-year-old seems to be getting his power stroke back; after going 17 games without a home run from mid-July to early August, he's now gone deep four times across his past eight contests. Overall, Neto has produced a very solid .272/.329/.481 slash line with 19 homers, 72 runs, 48 RBI and 21 stolen bases over 100 games on the season.
