  • Alex Call LF | LAD

    Nationals' Alex Call: On base three times in win

    Call went 2-for-4 with a walk and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Twins.

    Getting the start in center field in place of Jacob Young (finger) and batting sixth, Call broke the game open in the fifth inning with a bases-loaded single against a drawn-in infield that deflected off the mound and over Minnesota second baseman Brooks Lee. Call has four hits and five RBI in the last two contests, but that big weekend comes on the heels of an 0-for-13 stretch since July 11. Young isn't expected to miss much time, but Call should continue to start in his absence.

  • Marlins' Heriberto Hernandez: Homers in second straight game

    Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Brewers.

    Getting the start at DH and batting seventh, Hernandez took Brandon Woodruff deep in the fourth inning to give the Marlins a 2-1 lead that slipped away late. Hernandez has gone yard in back-to-back games and hit safely in five straight, although he was on the bench against a couple tough right-handers (Dylan Cease and Freddy Peralta) in the middle of that stretch. Over 44 plate appearances in July, the 25-year-old outfielder is slashing .308/.386/.564 with three homers, six runs and eight RBI.

  • Robby Snelling SP | MIA

    Marlins' Robby Snelling: Sets new career high in Ks

    Snelling gave up two runs on four hits over 6.2 innings for Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, striking out 11 without walking a batter.

    It was the best performance of the 21-year-old lefty's career, with the 11 Ks representing a new personal best. Snelling has been impressive since getting bumped up to Triple-A, posting a 2.30 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB over 15.2 innings, and if the Marlins find new homes for the likes of Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera at the trade deadline, Snelling could be among the replacements called up to fortify the big-league rotation.

  • Thomas White SP | MIA

    Marlins' Thomas White: Fans career-high 14 at Double-A

    White gave up two hits over five scoreless innings for Double-A Pensacola on Saturday, striking out 14 without walking a batter.

    The 20-year-old southpaw set a new career high in Ks, and per Cole Weintraub of MLB.com, 13 of those strikeouts came in a 14-batter span -- something no major-league pitcher has done since 1961. White has a 2.25 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB through 20 innings over five starts since getting promoted for Pensacola, and the Marlins' top pitching prospect may not be long for Double-A if he keeps dominating like this.

  • Michael Harris CF | ATL

    Braves' Michael Harris: Stays hot in loss

    Harris went 2-for-4 with a double in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.

    Atlanta managed only four hits in total, giving Harris little help in turning his knocks into run production. The center fielder has a five-game hit streak going in which he's batting .579 (11-for-19) with two doubles, two triples and two homers, but he'll need a much longer heater to climb out of his early season hole -- Harris' .618 OPS on the year is still over 100 points lower than his .722 mark from 2024.

  • Tekoah Roby P | STL

    Cardinals' Tekoah Roby: Undergoes Tommy John surgery

    Roby underwent Tommy John surgery Friday, Katie Woo and Keith Law of The Athletic report.

    Roby had landed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Memphis two weeks ago with an undisclosed injury, and as it turns out, he needed surgery on his pitching elbow that will likely keep him sidelined until the 2027 season. The righty had pitched well this season between Double-A Springfield and Memphis before getting hurt, collecting a 3.10 ERA and 87:19 K:BB over 78.1 innings covering 16 starts.

  • Matt Gage RP | SF

    Giants' Matt Gage: Throws scoreless inning in start

    Gage started Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Mets, tossing a perfect inning while striking out one.

    Gage made his first major-league start in Sunday's bullpen game, throwing seven of his 10 pitches for strikes. The left-hander had his contract selected from Triple-A Sacramento on July 18 and has now appeared in four games with San Francisco, surrendering a hit and a walk while striking out five across five innings. The 32-year-old has yet to give up a run through 10 outings between the Tigers and Giants this season, allowing eight hits with an 8:3 K:BB across 10.2 innings.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Multi-hit effort in defeat

    Adames went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Mets.

    Adames hit a single in the fifth inning before coming around to score and added another single in the eighth. The shortstop was one of two Giants players to record two hits, marking his third multi-hit performance in his last 10 outings. During that stretch, Adames is slashing .316/.409/.632 with nine runs scored, six RBI, three homers and three doubles across 44 plate appearances.

  • Sean Hjelle RP | SF

    Giants' Sean Hjelle: Dispatched to minors

    The Giants optioned Hjelle to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

    Hjelle made two relief appearances during his most recent stint with the big club, getting charged with three runs over two frames. His removal from the 26-man active roster clears a spot for lefty Carson Whisenhunt, who will be called up from Sacramento to make his major-league debut Monday against the Pirates.

  • Tobias Myers RP | NYM

    Brewers' Tobias Myers: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Brewers optioned Myers to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

    Myers was with the big club for a couple weeks as a bullpen piece, tossing three scoreless innings across two appearances. The right-hander will presumably rejoin the rotation at Nashville, where he's posted a 2.93 ERA and 54:16 K:BB over 58.1 frames covering 11 starts.
