  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Swipes bag in loss

    De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.

    De La Cruz didn't have a role in either of Cincinnati's runs, but he managed to steal his 29th base of the season. That puts him on the verge of a third consecutive season with 30-plus steals. He led the majors in 2024 with 67 steals.

  • Ryan Ritter SS | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Swelling down

    Ritter (finger) has had two of the three stitches in his finger removed, MLB.com reports.

    Ritter suffered a significant cut to his finger July 20, which required stitches. In addition to the removal of most of his stitches, the swelling associated with the injury has also subsided. Ritter still appears several days away from returning, as he has yet to resume swinging a bat.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Trio of hits in win

    Winn went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored in Monday's 7-1 win over the Marlins.

    Winn racked up three hits Monday, highlighted by a bases-clearing double in the seventh inning that helped break the game open. The 23-year-old has been locked in at the plate since the All-Star break, going 17-for-42 with four doubles and seven RBI over 11 games. While he may not profile as a standout hitter, Winn remains a key contributor for the Cardinals thanks to his elite defense at shortstop.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Collects three hits Monday

    Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and an RBI in a 7-6 victory versus the Mets on Monday.

    Bogaerts got the Padres on the board with a run-scoring single in the third inning and finished with his fourth multi-hit performance through 11 contests since the All-Star break. The veteran infielder is batting .298 (14-for-47) over that stretch with two homers, six RBI and just four strikeouts. Bogaerts is hitting a healthy .270 with 16 stolen bases on the season, though he hasn't had much of a power stroke with just seven home runs.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Raps three hits in loss

    Adames went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and two RBI in Monday's loss to the Pirates.

    Adames helped San Francisco come back from an early deficit, knocking a run-scoring single in the second inning and tying the score with another RBI single in the fourth. The veteran shortstop notched his second straight multi-hit game, achieving that feat for the first time this season. Adames has begun the second half of the season well, batting .395 (15-for-38) with three homers, 10 runs, eight RBI and a 5:7 BB:K through 10 contests.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Power surge continues Monday

    Montgomery went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 6-2 win over the Phillies.

    Although the rookie infielder's six-game hitting streak came to an end in Sunday's loss to the Cubs, Montgomery smashed his fourth homer in his past six outings Monday. Montgomery is off to quite an encouraging start to his major-league career, slashing .273/.333/.515 with the aforementioned four long balls, two doubles, one triple and 16 RBI through his first 73 plate appearances.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Pilfers seventh base, scores thrice

    Betts went 2-for-4 with a walk, a steal and three runs scored in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Reds.

    Betts drew his sixth straight start in the leadoff spot and snapped a 30-game stretch without a steal when he stole second in the seventh inning. Since drawing his first start as the leadoff batter July 20, the former MVP has hit .231 (6-for-26) with six runs, one RBI and four walks as manager Dave Roberts seeks a way to kickstart Betts' bat. Through 425 total plate appearances, the 32-year-old is slashing .240/.313/.372 with 11 homers, 62 runs scored and 46 RBI.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Sitting Monday

    Crawford is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Athletics on Monday.

    Crawford will get a rest day while Dylan Moore starts at shortstop and bats eighth. Crawford has been cold at the plate since the All-Star break, going 4-for-43 (.093) with two doubles, one RBI and a 25.0 percent strikeout rate.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: On bench for second straight

    Caballero is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

    Though the Rays remain without Brandon Lowe (foot) and Ha-Seong Kim (back), manager Kevin Cash doesn't appear ready to commit to Caballero in an everyday role in the middle infield just yet. The American League's stolen-base leader will be on the bench for the second straight day Monday, with both of his absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. The Rays should have a regular spot in the lineup available for the right-handed-hitting Caballero against left-handed pitching, but he may have to settle for more of a timeshare at second base with the lefty-hitting Tristan Gray when Tampa Bay faces righties.

  • Rays' Jadher Areinamo: Dealt to Tampa Bay

    The Rays acquired Areinamo from the Brewers on Monday in exchange for catcher Danny Jansen and cash considerations, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

    Areinamo, 21, has slashed .297/.355/.463 with 11 home runs and 15 stolen bases in 94 games this season at High-A Wisconsin. He is capable of playing shortstop, second base and third base.
