  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Knocks in two

    Rojas went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

    Rojas drove in a pair during the fifth inning on a single to center field, giving Miami a 6-5 lead. The 29-year-old is off to a solid start in the month of July as he's hitting .304 with four RBI and three stolen bases through 14 games. Rojas will enter the break sporting a .254/.309/.348 slash line and a .657 OPS over 95 games in the first half.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Plates two runs

    Turner went 1-for-5 with two RBI during Sunday's 6-1 victory over the Mets.

    Turner extended the lead to five in the seventh inning after plating a pair on a single to left. The 25-year-old shortstop went 3-for-15 during Philadelphia's four-game series against the Mets, and he'll enter the All-Star break batting .267 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI over 96 games.

  • Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Slugs homer Sunday

    Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI in Sunday's 5-2 victory over the Blue Jays.

    Bogaerts blasted his 16th home run of the season in the first inning, followed by an RBI groundout to the pitcher in the third. He's been hot at the dish of late as he's recorded a base knock in nine of his last 10 games, collecting four home runs and an eye-popping 20 RBI over that span. He's hitting .319 through 13 games to begin the month of July.

  • Giants' Chase d'Arnaud: Sees surge in starts

    D'Arnaud will serve as the Giants' leadoff hitter and start at third base Sunday against the Giants.

    D'Arnaud seems to have worked his way into a platoon at third base with Pablo Sandoval, as the former will enter the lineup for the third consecutive game in which the Giants have opposed a left-handed starting pitcher. Since being promoted from Triple-A Sacramento, d'Arnaud has gone 5-for-17 with a home run, but the 31-year-old's career .226/.281/.314 line over 200 games in the majors suggests he doesn't warrant much intrigue in the fantasy realm.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Retreats to bench

    Ahmed is out of the lineup Sunday against the Braves.

    The Diamondbacks have been juggling three players (Ahmed, Ketel Marte and Daniel Descalso) between the two middle-infield spots of late, and it will be Ahmed's turn to head to the bench Sunday following three consecutive starts. Ahmed has been the top producer of the triumvirate in July, going 13-for-46 (.283 average) with seven extra-base hits, eight runs and five RBI across 11 appearances.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Playing time picks up

    Rojas will start at third base and bat seventh Sunday against the Phillies, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

    Rojas' playing time trailed off earlier this month shortly after everyday third baseman Martin Prado's return from the disabled list, but the former has seen his starting opportunities tick back up heading into the break. With Prado getting a breather in the series finale, Rojas will enter the starting nine for the fourth time in five games. The 29-year-old's ability to play all four infield spots may continue to earn him a healthy workload, even though he lacks a direct path to a full-time role at any position.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Cubs' Javier Baez: Drives in five

    Baez went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and five RBI Saturday against the Padres.

    Baez extended his hitting streak to a modest four games and has recorded at least one extra-base hit in each of them. Saturday marked his second five-RBI performance of the season, and he has driven in four runs on three other occasions. Given that, it's not especially surprising that he is tied for the National League lead in RBI, though that's hardly the only way he's stood out through 338 at-bats this season, as he also ranks among the league leaders in home runs, runs scored and slugging percentage.

  • Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Blasts walkoff grand slam

    Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and a walkoff grand slam Saturday against the Blue Jays.

    Bogaerts sparked the rally in the ninth inning, hitting a leadoff double and scoring the run which sent the game to extra innings. One inning later, he sent the fans home happy by hitting the grand slam off Chris Rowley. The young shortstop is now setting career highs in slugging percentage (.529), isolated power (.245) and wRC+ (135). His 15 homers are just six short of a career high with nearly half a season still to play.

  • Joey Wendle 2B | ATL

    Rays' Joey Wendle: Hits solo homer in loss

    Wendle went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in a loss to the Twins on Friday.

    Wendle closed out the scoring on the night with his ninth-inning solo blast off Fernando Rodney, his fourth of the season. The versatile infielder is in the midst of a torrid stretch at the plate as the All-Star break approaches, as he's now hitting .394 with two doubles, two homers and four RBI in 37 July plate appearances.

  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Takes seat Saturday

    Camargo is out of Saturday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.

    Camargo will get a well-deserved day off after starting 10 straight games. He'll be replaced by Ryan Flaherty at third base.
