  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Provides go-ahead run

    Moreno went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Friday's 4-1 win over Cleveland.

    Moreno provided the second of three consecutive run-scoring singles in the top of the eighth inning, with his being the go-ahead knock. The catcher has RBI in eight of the last nine games, plating 13 runners while batting .343 during that stretch. He's been the team's most consistent hitter since returning from an oblique injury in early May. Since then, Moreno's posted a .313/.400/.462 slash line with 13 doubles, eight home runs, 41 RBI, four steals and 40 runs scored over 70 contests.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Begins comeback

    Perdomo went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 4-1 win over the Guardians.

    The Diamondbacks rallied for all four runs in the eighth inning to erase Cleveland's lead, and it was Perdomo who started it. His bases-loaded single tied the game and was the first of three consecutive run-producing singles. Perdomo's struggled all season and July was no different; he finished the month with a .194 average and .657 OPS over 24 games.

    Rockies' Jose Quintana: Nearing bullpen session

    Quintana (elbow) is set to throw a bullpen session during the week of Aug. 3, MLB.com reports.

    Quintana is set to throw long toss Saturday, and he'll end the session with eight throws off the mound. That will lead into his first bullpen session since he was sidelined with a sprained elbow.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Posts three hits Friday

    Freeman went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Red Sox.

    Freeman extended his hitting streak to 10 games, a span in which he's logged six multi-hit efforts. He's batting .488 (20-for-41) during the streak, though he's collected only four extra-base hits (all doubles) in that span. For the season, the first baseman is hitting .305 with an .870 OPS, 15 home runs, 54 RBI, 56 runs scored, 27 doubles, one triple and five stolen bases over 107 contests.

  • Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Two extra-base hits in loss

    Ohtani went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and a second run scored in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Red Sox.

    Ohtani was held out of the lineup Thursday due to his ongoing bout of left knee inflammation, while continues to keep him from pitching. He's made up for it with plenty of success at the plate lately -- he's 10-for-25 (.400) with two homers, five doubles and seven RBI over his last six games as a hitter. For the season, the superstar is batting .291 with a .939 OPS, 24 homers, 67 RBI, 70 runs scored, 22 doubles, two triples and six stolen bases over 104 contests. Ohtani should continue to be reliable in terms of power and rate stats as long as he can play through the knee issue, but don't expect him to add much in terms of speed while he's less than 100 percent healthy.

  • Cole Irvin RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Cole Irvin: Takes loss in bulk-relief outing

    Irvin (0-1) allowed six runs on eight hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out five over six innings to take the loss against the Red Sox on Friday.

    Irvin ended up working a long-relief outing after getting called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City earlier in the day. He threw 67 of 102 pitches for strikes but couldn't keep the Red Sox's offense under control. This was Irvin's first big-league action since the 2024 campaign. The southpaw is likely in danger of being booted off the 26-man roster for a fresh arm or a trade acquisition after this lengthy outing.

  • Luis Rengifo LF | SD

    Padres' Luis Rengifo: Notches fifth steal

    Rengifo went 1-for-3 with two walks, one stolen base and three runs scored in Friday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

    Rengifo continues to thrive in a utility role for the Padres. He's now settled in as the No. 2 hitter against southpaws while seeing time at second base, third base, left field and designated hitter over the last week. He's batting .381 (16-for-42) over 13 games since joining the Padres' big-league roster July 8. On the year, the utility man is batting .238 with a .629 OPS, two home runs, five steals, 27 RBI, 29 runs scored and 11 doubles over 70 games between San Diego and Milwaukee.

  • Padres' Fernando Tatis: Nabs steal Friday

    Tatis went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

    Tatis has surged since the All-Star break, going 19-for-55 (.345) with seven extra-base hits, three steals and 14 RBI over his last 14 games. The outfielder's overall power numbers remain down compared to previous seasons, but he's made up for it by running at a career-high rate. He's now batting .286 with a .759 OPS, 26 steals on 37 attempts, eight home runs, 49 RBI, 56 runs scored, 22 doubles and two triples over 109 contests.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Delivers three hits in win

    Campusano went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Friday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

    Campusano has gone 7-for-15 with three RBI over his last four games. The catcher continues to see a decent amount of playing time between his work behind the dish and at designated hitter. On the year, he's batting .306 with a .919 OPS, four home runs, 15 RBI, 14 runs scored, eight doubles and no stolen bases over 36 games. He hit .326 in July after returning from a fractured toe he sustained in May.

  • Jase Bowen RF | SD

    Padres' Jase Bowen: Homers in Friday's win

    Bowen went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-0 win over the Giants.

    This was Bowen's second multi-hit effort in July, though he hit safely in just four of 20 games during the month. The outfielder continues to fill more of a part-time role, making most of his starts as a platoon partner for Gavin Sheets in left field. Bowen hit .222 in July and is at .167 with a .456 OPS across 63 plate appearances this season. He's added one homer, six RBI, nine runs scored, two doubles and four stolen bases.
