  • Braves' Michael Harris: Swats 18th homer

    Harris went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's win over the Padres.

    The center fielder got Atlanta on the board in the fifth inning when he got hold of a JP Sears sweeper and lofted it over the wall in the right-field corner. Harris has seven hits in his last four games, including two doubles and two long balls, and through 16 contests in July he's delivered a .329/.333/.562 slash line with four of his 18 homers on the season, along with 12 runs and 16 RBI.

  • Corbin Carroll RF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Likely back Tuesday

    Carroll (elbow) is expected to be included in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

    The 25-year-old was on the bench for Monday's series opener after exiting Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a hyperextended right elbow, but he looks like he'll end up missing only one start due to the injury. It's still worth keeping an eye on Carroll's status throughout the day until Arizona officially posts its lineup prior to the game's 9:40 p.m. ET start time.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Launches 15th homer

    Albies went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win over the Padres.

    The veteran second baseman took Wandy Peralta deep in the sixth inning for what proved to be the game-winning blast in a 3-2 victory. The long ball snapped a 12-game power drought for Albies, a stretch in which he'd hit just .200 (10-for-50) with an uncharacteristically high 25.0 percent strikeout rate. On the season, he sports a .755 OPS -- his highest mark since 2023 -- with 15 homers, 54 RBI and 63 runs in 99 contests.

  • Giants' Daniel Susac: Multi-hit effort in loss

    Susac went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

    Susac hit a single to left field in the fifth inning before stealing second base, and he added a leadoff double in the eighth. The 25-year-old catcher delivered his first multi-hit performance since June 10 after spending an extended period on the injured list with a lower-back strain. He's now slashing .264/.308/.336 with 14 RBI, six doubles, five runs scored and two stolen bases across 122 plate appearances.

  • Heliot Ramos LF | NYY

    Giants' Heliot Ramos: Launches solo shot in loss

    Ramos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

    Ramos got the Giants on the scoreboard in the fourth inning, cracking a solo shot to right-center field. He's recorded at least one hit in 16 of his 18 appearances since returning from a right quadriceps strain, batting .297 with 14 runs scored, 10 RBI and five home runs in 76 plate appearances during that span. Overall, the 26-year-old is slashing .276/.310/.469 with 33 runs scored, 30 RBI and nine long balls across 252 plate appearances.

  • Kendall George OF | LAD

    Dodgers' Kendall George: Back in action after freak injury

    George (knee) is slashing .333/.455/.407 with a 6:8 BB:K and four stolen bases in seven games since being reinstated from Double-A Tulsa's 7-day injured list July 4.

    After sustaining an injury to his left patellar tendon May 25 while jumping out of the way to avoid Tulsa's bat-retrieving dog, George had been expected to be out through the All-Star break. The 21-year-old outfielder ended up recovering quicker than expected, however, as he was given the green light to rejoin Tulsa earlier this month after completing a five-game rehab assignment at Single-A Ontario. George has remained active on the basepaths since returning to action and has now gone 33-for-38 on stolen-base attempts for the season over his 55 games between Tulsa and Ontario.

  • Chris Devenski RP | PIT

    Pirates' Chris Devenski: Ready for rehab assignment

    Devenski (illness) was sent to the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

    Devenski has been sidelined since early May due to an undisclosed illness, but he's finally been cleared to participate in games. Given the length of his absence, the veteran reliever will likely require a handful of rehab outings before rejoining the Pirates' active roster.

  • Reds' Brandon Williamson: Expected to face hitters Wednesday

    Williamson (shoulder) is scheduled to face hitters Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

    Williamson, who injured his finger while rehabbing the shoulder in late June, has been throwing bullpen sessions at the team's training facility in Goodyear, Arizona. Wednesday's scheduled live batting practice session represents the next step in the left-hander's progression.

  • Blake Dunn CF | CIN

    Reds' Blake Dunn: Could begin rehab assignment as DH

    Dunn (elbow) could soon begin a rehab assignment serving exclusively as a designated hitter while he continues to go through a throwing progression, MLB.com reports.

    Dunn has been playing catch and hit on the field with the team in Seattle. Ideally, he would play the field upon his activation off the injured list, but there's a scenario where the outfielder could serve as a regular at DH. As the Reds sprial into being sellers at the trade deadline, the swapping of two trade candidates -- Eugenio Suarez and Nathaniel Lowe -- could clear a path at DH.

  • Jorge Barrosa CF | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jorge Barrosa: Fills in at right field

    Barrosa started in right field and went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Athletics.

    Barrosa doubled and scored on Ketel Marte's fifth-inning home run. The former got the start in place of Corbin Carroll, who was held out of the lineup a day after suffering a hyperextended elbow. Barrosa's opportunity may be a short-lived, as Carroll's injury is not considered serious.
