  • Trent Grisham CF | NYY

    Yankees' Trent Grisham: Blasts 31st homer

    Grisham went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-9 win over the Twins.

    Grisham played a big part in Tuesday's slugfest, pacing the Yankees with three RBI. The center fielder is putting together a career-best season, slashing .238/.347/.465 with nine doubles, a triple, 31 homers and 67 RBI through 133 games. The homer and RBI did both break a rare nine-game drought where Grisham was shut out in both categories.

  • Zebby Matthews SP | MIN

    Twins' Zebby Matthews: Knocked around in sixth loss

    Matthews (4-6) took the loss Tuesday, allowing nine runs on 11 hits and two walks over three innings in a 10-9 loss against the Yankees. He struck out two.

    Matthews was tagged for runs in each of the three innings he worked Tuesday, failing to find a groove before being pulled. The 25-year-old has endured a tough season, posting a 5.97 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 15 starts and 72.1 innings. Still, there are reasons for optimism in his underlying metrics, including a 3.85 FIP and 3.4 K/BB pointing to better potential than the surface stats suggest.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Reaches 30 steals

    Story went 3-for-4 and stole two bases in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Athletics.

    Story stole bags after singling in the first and third innings. The two thefts upped his season total to a career-high 30. More impressive, no backstop has been able to catch him stealing yet in 2025. This marks the fourth time since the expansion era began in 1961 that a player has started a season with 30 straight successful attempts.

  • Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Five walks in no-decision

    Schlittler did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on three hits and five walks over 4.2 innings in a 10-9 win over the Twins. He struck out six.

    Schlittler battled command issues Tuesday, throwing just 49 of his 89 pitches for strikes and issuing a career-high five walks. Despite some ups and downs with consistency, the rookie right-hander has flashed potential in his debut campaign. Through 12 starts, he owns a 3.41 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 60.2 innings.

  • Royals' Michael Wacha: Shelled in return from IL

    Wacha (9-12) took the loss Tuesday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and no walks over 2.2 innings against the Mariners. He recorded no strikeouts.

    Wacha was rocked in his first start back from a brief injured list stint for a concussion, lasting fewer than three innings while surrendering six extra-base hits, including homers to Dominic Canzone and Cal Raleigh. The veteran right-hander entered with a 3.45 ERA and 1.18 WHIP, but those marks climbed to 3.79 and 1.22, respectively, across 29 starts and 161.2 innings this season.

  • Cody Freeman 2B | TEX

    Rangers' Cody Freeman: Returns to lineup Tuesday

    Freeman started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a steal and a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to Houston.

    Freeman was back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench for the series opener Monday. He had started seven consecutive games prior to Monday. The stolen base was his first and the homer his third of the season. Freeman is slashing .229/.253/.386 over 27 contests and should continue to get opportunities with Marcus Semien (foot) on the shelf.

  • Royals' Carter Jensen: Belts first MLB homers

    Jensen went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double, three RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 12-5 loss to the Mariners.

    Jensen delivered the best outing of his young big-league career Tuesday, notching his first multi-hit game and blasting his first two MLB home runs. His first was an opposite-field solo shot down the left-field line in the fourth inning, then he followed with a two-run drive to right in the sixth inning. The well-regarded prospect had felt the learning curve through his first eight games with a .176/.333/.235 slash line, but his huge effort raised his OPS by 498 points. Jensen made his third consecutive start Tuesday and looks to be gaining traction in Kansas City's everyday lineup.

  • Wyatt Langford LF | TEX

    Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Records first 20-20 campaign

    Langford went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Astros.

    Langford's steal was his 20th, surpassing the 19 bags he swiped as a rookie in 2024. The theft also cemented his first 20-homer/20-steal season, likely the first of many to come for the 23-year-old.

  • Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Three homers in monster performance

    Canzone went 5-for-5 with three homers and four RBI in Tuesday's 12-5 victory over the Royals.

    Canzone turned in a career night Tuesday, recording a hit in every at-bat and notching the first three-homer game of his career. The outfielder is heating up at the perfect time, going 8-for-10 with a double, three homers and seven RBI over his last two contests. Overall, he's been highly productive when called upon in 2025, carrying an .854 OPS across 72 big-league appearances.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Contributes in win

    Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-5 extra-inning win over Detroit.

    Ramirez was part of a four-run 10th inning when he doubled and scored. The double was one of four consecutive extra-base hits in the frame. Earlier, he singled, stole a base and scored in the sixth. The double was his 30th, giving him a sixth straight season with at least 30 doubles, while the theft was his 39th. Cleveland's won five straight and moved within 2.5 games of the final wild-card spot.
