  • Erick Fedde RP | CHW

    White Sox's Erick Fedde: Quality start against Texas

    Fedde did not factor into the decision in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out five.

    The veteran righty reached double-digit quality starts, securing his 10th of the season with this outing. The only blemishes on Fedde's evening were solo homers allowed to Marcus Semien and Leody Taveras. The 31-year-old has been a revelation in his return stateside from Korea, pitching to a 2.98 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 104:32 K:BB across 117.2 innings this season. His time in Chicago looks to be limited as he's a significant trade target ahead of next week's trade deadline. Fedde is tentatively set to make his next start for the White Sox against Seattle at home this weekend.

  • Mark Canha LF | TEX

    Tigers' Mark Canha: Records three hits in win

    Canha went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 8-2 win over the Guardians.

    Canha hasn't really gotten going this season, as he's batting just .236 overall, but he's riding a modest three-game hitting streak and is batting .303 in July. The veteran did miss some time earlier this month due to hip and wrist issues, but he seems healthy coming out of the All-Star break and should continue to see regular playing time for the Tigers.

  • Cole Ragans RP | KC

    Royals' Cole Ragans: Turns in quality start

    Ragans (7-6) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over six innings Monday, striking out five and earning a win over the Diamondbacks.

    Ragans wasn't as sharp as usual but the Royals put 10 runs on the board, allowing the southpaw to cruise to a second straight win. All the damage against him came in the third inning, capped off by Ketel Marte's two-run blast. Ragans has delivered quality starts in three straight outings and eight of nine since the start of June. During that stretch, he's posted a 3.07 ERA over 55.2 frames. He is sporting a 3.23 ERA with a 146:40 K:BB through 21 starts. His next appearance is projected to come at home against the Cubs.

  • Kyle Isbel CF | KC

    Royals' Kyle Isbel: Collects three hits

    Isbel opened the game's scoring with an RBI single in the second inning. He later knocked an RBI double and scored in the fourth. It was Isbel's first three-hit game of the season and just his second multi-hit performance this month. He's now slashing .233/.286/.381 with 17 extra-base hits and 26 RBI through 260 plate appearances.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Stays hot Monday

    Witt went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer, a triple, a double and three runs scored in Monday's win over Arizona.

    Witt has been on a rampage since returning from the All-Star break. He knocked three extra-base hits Monday, including his three-run shot off Miguel Castro in the fourth inning. Witt has collected three hits in four straight games, and his OPS on the season has jumped from .928 to .979 as a result. He has racked up 55 extra-base hits with 22 steals and 82 runs scored in 101 games.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Homers in win

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Exits after HBP

  • Tigers' Justyn-Henry Malloy: Homers again in win

    Malloy went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 8-2 win over the Guardians.

    Malloy opened the scoring with a two-run home run off Carlos Carrasco in the first inning. The rookie has now homered on back-to-back days and has seven long balls in 123 plate appearances this year. He also struck out three times Monday, bringing his season total to 42, but he has still managed an impressive .279/.380/.605 slash line in July.

The rookie logged a nine-game hit streak just prior to the All-Star break and has stayed hot with two multi-hit efforts, a homer and a steal in his past four games. On the year, he is hitting .261 with six home runs, 25 RBI, 43 runs scored and eight steals across 314 plate appearances.

  • Guardians' Carlos Carrasco: Struggles early in loss

He owns a 5.32 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 74:26 K:BB over 91.1 innings and lines up for a difficult road matchup with the Phillies this weekend.
