  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Braves' Dansby Swanson: Dealing with soreness

    Swanson, who was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Royals, is dealing with unspecified soreness, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    It may just be general soreness for Swanson, and with the Braves having an off day Thursday, this gives him a couple days to rest up. Johan Camargo gets the start at shortstop, hitting seventh.

    Braves' Dansby Swanson: Late scratch Wednesday

    Swanson was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup against the Royals.

    There has been no word of an injury with Swanson. Johan Camargo slots in at shortstop, hitting seventh.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Sitting out Wednesday

    Adames is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

    With one hit and 11 strikeouts in 21 at-bats over his last six games, Adames has looked lost at the plate lately and may begin to lose playing time as a result. He'll be on the bench for the second time in six games while Joey Wendle takes over at shortstop.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Cubs' Javier Baez: Swipes two bags in loss

    Baez went 2-for-6 with a double, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Giants.

    The 26-year-old only has seven steals in 12 attempts on the year, but at least in this one he looked like a consistent threat on the basepaths. The rest of Baez's numbers are much more palatable, however -- he's slashing .289/.320/.546 with 24 homers, 67 RBI and 69 runs through 99 games.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Hits for cycle

    Turner went 4-for-5 with the cycle, including a solo home run, two RBI and two runs in an 11-1 victory against the Rockies on Tuesday.

    This was Turner's seventh multi-hit game of July, including his third in his last five contests. Four hits also set a new season high for Turner, who hit his second homer of July. Turner is batting .286 with eight home runs, 25 RBI, 42 runs and 20 steals in 255 at-bats this season.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Ready for rehab stint

    Anderson (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    The shortstop ran the bases Monday, clearing the final hurdle necessary to return to a live setting. He's missed close to a month with the high-ankle sprain, but Anderson suggested he may only need a week's worth of games or so in the minors to prepare for a return to Chicago. When ready, Anderson will push Ryan Goins to the bench or off the roster entirely.

  • Mariners' Dee Gordon: Out with quad strain

    Gordon landed on the 10-day injured list with a strained left quad Tuesday.

    Gordon left Monday's game after getting hit in the back by a pickoff throw. According to Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle, the 31-year-old is expected to miss a few weeks but has no official timetable for his return. Tim Lopes was recalled in a corresponding move, while Austin Nola is starting at second base Tuesday.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Starts late rally

    Crawford went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.

    Crawford got the Giants' late rally going by driving in Pablo Sandoval in the eighth. The shortstop had been ice-cold for seemingly the entire first half of the season, but his bat has come alive in July (.315/.393/.593 with four homers and 16 RBI this month).

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Retreats to bench

    Arcia isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

    Arcia went 0-for-4 during Monday night's loss to Cincinnati in the series opener, so he'll head to the bench for a day off. Tyler Saladino, who has now clubbed a grand slam in back-to-back games, will draw the start at shortstop and hit eighth.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Still out Tuesday

    Rojas (shoulder) isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

    Rojas was diagnosed with a right shoulder strain Saturday, and he hasn't taken the field since. He'll continue to be considered day-to-day until further notice. Yadiel Rivera draws the start at shortstop and will hit ninth in Rojas' absence.
