  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Dodgers transferred Seager (hand) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

    Seager's fractured right hand has kept him out of action since May 15, and after recently suffering a setback in his recovery, he wasn't on track to return from the 10-day IL prior to the All-Star break. As a result, the Dodgers' decision to transfer Seager to the 60-day IL is merely a formality that won't affect his timeline for a return. The Dodgers likely won't be able to outline a clear target date for Seager to come off the IL until he's cleared to resume baseball activities again.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Rockies' Trevor Story: Gets Wednesday off

    Story is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

    Since returning from the 10-day injured list June 10, Story has started in all 18 of the Rockies' games, slashing .269/.359/.507 with four home runs and six stolen bases over that stretch. He'll get a well-deserved breather in the series finale with Pittsburgh, paving the way for Brendan Rodgers to pick up a start at shortstop.

  • Pablo Reyes RF | SD

    Brewers' Pablo Reyes: Sent down Wednesday

    Reyes was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

    Reyes was called up by the Brewers on Monday, and he went 0-for-1 in his lone appearance as a pinch hitter during his time in the majors. He'll head back to the Triple-A club but could be an option to return to the Brewers as utility depth at some point.

  • Paul DeJong SS | DET

    Cardinals' Paul DeJong: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    DeJong isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    DeJong has gone 3-for-10 with two homers, four RBI, two runs and a stolen base across the last four games, but he'll get a breather in Wednesday's series finale. Edmundo Sosa will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Collects two hits, stolen base

    Edman went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run and a stolen base in a 3-2 victory versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

    The Cardinals' leadoff hitter singled and stole second base in the fifth frame before coming around to score the game's first run on Nolan Arenado's two-run homer. He came up with a big single in the following inning, driving in a run that proved to provide the winning margin in the contest. Edman is slashing a modest .259/.301/.364 on the season but has made his mark in fantasy with 14 stolen bases in 17 attempts.

  • Jose Barrero SS | BAL

    Reds' Jose Barrero: Advances to Triple-A

    Barrero will make his Triple-A debut for Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Barrero jumped all the way from High-A to the big leagues last season but looked overmatched, hitting .194/.206/.194 in 68 plate appearances. He's back on a standard development track this season. His promotion to Triple-A is well earned based on his performance at Double-A Chattanooga, where he hit .300/.367/.481 with six homers and eight steals in 40 games.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Dealing with illness

    Rojas is sitting for Tuesday's game against the Phillies due to cold-like symptoms, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    It's unclear how severe Rojas' symptoms are, nor is it known whether he's available off the bench Tuesday. More details about his condition figure to become available following the game or on Wednesday.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Sits Tuesday

    Rojas is not starting Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Rojas has hit .167 with a homer and five RBI since returning from the injured list June 18. Luis Marte will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Tuesday's series opener.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Slams 11th home run

    Adames went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Monday's 14-4 win over the Cubs.

    Adames took Trevor Megill deep in the eighth inning. The Cubs intentionally walked Christian Yelich, and Adames made them pay by slamming a three-run bomb to extend the lead. The 25-year-old is slashing .286/.357/.516 with six home runs, 24 RBI and 16 runs in 142 plate appearances since joining the Brewers via trade in late May. He's been especially hot lately, batting .359 with three long balls in his last 10 games.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Smashes 17th homer

    Crawford went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-2 loss to the Dodgers on Monday.

    Crawford's sixth-inning solo shot off Trevor Bauer brought the Giants to within one run of Los Angeles' lead but wound up being the final run of the game. Crawford's 17 home runs are third most among MLB shortstops and only four off his career high of 21 set in 2015.
