  • Yankees' Jasson Dominguez: Swipes seventh bag

    Dominguez went 2-for-3 with a run and a stolen base in a 3-2 win over the White Sox on Tuesday.

    Dominguez was the only Yankee to collect multiple hits in a game during which the team as a whole compiled just six knocks. It was the second straight two-hit performance for the young outfielder following an 11-game stretch without any multi-hit efforts. Dominguez continues to slot in regularly in right field for New York, but he's posted a modest .646 OPS with one homer, three RBI, seven runs and a 1:9 BB:K over 11 games since the All-Star break.

    Royals' Nick Mears: Starts throwing again

    Mears (shoulder/lat) began throwing from 60 feet Monday, MLB.com reports.

    Mears has been sidelined since May 29 due to a right shoulder impingement and has dealt with multiple setbacks in his recovery, including a July 10 scan that revealed a right lat strain. Resuming throwing is a positive step, though the right-hander still has many boxes to check before a return from the injured list becomes a realistic possibility. Prior to hitting the shelf, Mears posted a 5.12 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 15:11 K:BB across 19.1 innings.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Ramping up baseball activity

    Witt (back) has begun ramping up his baseball activity, and how he responds over the next few days will determine whether he's activated from the injured list when first eligible Friday, per MLB.com.

    Witt landed on the injured list for the first time in his big-league career July 22 due to tightness in his lower back. Early indications suggested there wasn't any cause for concern over a long-term absence, and the star shortstop remains on track to avoid a lengthy stay on the IL if he responds well to the increase in his baseball activity. In 94 games this season, Witt is slashing .279/.350/.450 with 13 homers, 39 RBI, 51 runs and 30 stolen bases.

  • Sam Shaw 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Sam Shaw: Shelved at High-A

    High-A Vancouver placed Shaw on the 7-day injured list July 9 due to an unspecified injury.

    Shaw didn't debut for Vancouver until June 7, after he opened the season on the 60-day injured list while recovering from a blood clot near his shoulder, which stemmed from thoracic outlet syndrome, per Steve Ewen of The Vancouver Province. The Blue Jays haven't revealed if Shaw's latest move to the IL is related to the blood clot or the result of a different injury. Shaw had fared well over about a month's worth of action at Vancouver, slashing .239/.427/.535 with six home runs and three stolen bases in 21 games.

  • Tommy White 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Tommy White: Deposits four hits in win

    White went 4-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

    White was a hit machine, collecting four singles for the second time since being called up July 17. Through 10 games, the 23-year-old is slashing .359/.390/.410 in 41 plate appearances but has yet to record his first big-league RBI. With Zack Gelof (knee) and Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) on the injured list, White appears to have a firm grip on a regular role at the hot corner.

  • Henry Bolte CF | ATH

    Athletics' Henry Bolte: Positive showing in Tuesday's win

    Bolte went 2-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored, a steal and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

    Bolte was active in the win, picking up a pair of hits and swiping his 12th bag of the season. It was a much-needed positive showing for the rookie, who hadn't recorded a multi-hit game since July 1 and entered Tuesday having gone 3-for-26 (.115) over his previous nine games since the All-Star break. Overall, Bolte is slashing .249/.328/.327 with three homers, 18 RBI and 20 runs scored across 64 contests.

  • Nolan Perry SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Nolan Perry: Recovering from concussion

    Double-A New Hampshire placed Perry on the 7-day injured list Friday after he entered concussion protocol when he was struck in the head by a 104-mph line drive during his last start July 19, MLB.com reports.

    Perry is expected to make a full recovery from the concussion, but he's considered week-to-week and will be without a clear timeline for a return until he's cleared to resume a throwing program. The 22-year-old righty has made stops across three minor-league levels in 2026, logging a 2.41 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 85:19 K:BB over 56 innings.

  • Chad Dallas RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Chad Dallas: Up from Buffalo

    The Blue Jays recalled Dallas from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    Dallas will give the Blue Jays some length in the bullpen, if needed. He's allowed just one run with a 3:2 K:BB in 4.2 innings covering two relief outings for the Blue Jays this season and holds a 3.16 ERA and 56:20 K:BB across 57 frames with Buffalo.

  • CJ Van Eyk RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' CJ Van Eyk: Sent out to Triple-A

    The Blue Jays optioned Van Eyk to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    Van Eyk threw 3.1 innings and 69 pitches out of the bullpen in Tuesday's loss to the Nationals, so he's being replaced by a fresh bullpen arm. Chad Dallas will come up from Buffalo to take Van Eyk's spot on the 26-man active roster.

  • Alex Lange RP | KC

    Royals' Alex Lange: Another blown save

    Lange (1-6) blew the save and took the loss in Tuesday's 3-2 loss against the Twins. He allowed two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning.

    It's the third blown save in Lange's past five appearances, and he's also surrendered 15 runs over his last nine outings. Steven Cruz has picked up two saves in the past week and seems likely to get more opportunities going forward given Lange's 6.33 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 5.1 BB/9 across 42.2 innings this year.
