Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Notches three hits, stolen base
Arcia went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in a loss to Oakland on Tuesday.
Arcia collected his third single in the eighth inning and came around to score Milwaukee's first run on a single off the bat of Yasmani Grandal. The three-hit game was his third of the season and snapped a cold spell in which he had collected only four hits over his previous 43 at-bats.

Dee Strange-Gordon SS | WAS
Mariners' Dee Gordon: Continuing to ramp up activity
Gordon (quadriceps) is traveling with the Mariners during their current road trip and is scheduled to work out with the team during its weekend series in Houston this coming weekend, Alyson Footer of MLB.com reports.
Gordon has been able to resume taking batting practice and appears on the cusp of starting to perform some drills in the field as well. The speedster is eligible to be activated from the injured list as early as Friday, but he's slated to remain out at least a week past that point. "He's doing better," manager Scott Servais said. "If he gets through the workouts in Houston, we'll send him out on a rehab shortly after that, and then back with us. Just a game or two [of rehab], to make sure he's 100 percent."

White Sox's Tim Anderson: Back from injury
Anderson (ankle) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Anderson will wind up missing slightly over a month with his sprained right ankle. He hit .348 over the course of five rehab games and should now return to a key role in Chicago's lineup, where he hit .317/.342/.491 prior to the injury. Ryan Cordell was optioned in a corresponding move.

Bo Bichette 3B | NYM
Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Collects hit in debut
Bichette went 1-for-4 in his big-league debut Monday during a win over the Royals.
Getting the start at shortstop and hitting sixth, the 21-year-old also turned a nifty unassisted double play in the field and looked more than ready for the big leagues. The Jays' infield of the future is now in place with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bichette and Cavan Biggio all on the roster, and the club's fortunes will ride heavily on their development.

Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD
Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Goes yard again
Rojas went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's 11-6 win over the Diamondbacks.
The infielder had only one homer through his first 97 games this season, but Rojas has now gone deep in three straight games, boosting his slash line on the year to .289/.344/.382. With the trade deadline looming, the 30-year-old has picked the right time to get hot if Miami is thinking about moving him.

Bo Bichette 3B | NYM
Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Hitting sixth in big-league debut
Bichette had his contract purchased from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday and is starting at shortstop and hitting sixth against the Royals, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Bichette is set to make his highly-anticipated big-league debut after putting together a solid .275/.333/.473 triple-slash with eight home runs and 15 stolen bases in 56 games for Buffalo. With the well-regarded prospect immediately slotting in at shortstop, Freddy Galvis will man second base while Cavan Biggio starts at DH in Monday's series opener. Eric Sogard was traded to the Rays on Sunday, which freed up a roster spot for Bichette.

Johan Camargo SS | SF
Braves' Johan Camargo: Swats fourth homer
Camargo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.
The 25-year-old has started four straight games with Dansby Swanson (foot) sidelined, but Sunday's blast has been Camargo's only hit during that stretch. He's now slashing a tepid .226/.255/.362 on the season with four homers and 23 RBI in 184 plate appearances, and should return to a bench role once Swanson is healthy.

Giants' Brandon Crawford: Snaps brief dry spell
Crawford went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over San Diego.
Crawford had gone 0-for-9 over his previous three contests, but he brought that brief cold streak to an end with his fourth multi-hit effort this month. The veteran shortstop has been playing his best ball in July, slashing .274/.369/.493 with four homers and 17 RBI across 20 games.

Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Collects three hits in loss
Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.
Bogaerts singled and scored Boston's first run on a homer off the bat of Andrew Benintendi in the fourth inning, then crossed the plate for the team's final run after singling and being driven home by Benintendi's hit in the ninth. The three-hit game capped a productive series in which Bogaerts went 9-for-20 with two homers, three doubles, five RBI and seven runs scored, bringing his slash line to an impressive .316/.398/.575 with 23 homers and 81 RBI in 467 plate appearances this season.
