  • Josue De Paula DH | LAD

    Dodgers' Josue De Paula: Launches first career homer

    De Paula went 2-for-2 with a three-run home run, a double and a walk in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins.

    De Paula smacked a 416-foot blast for his first major-league hit before reaching base in his next two trips to the plate. The top prospect has now gone 2-for-7 through three games with the Dodgers, and he's reached base in each game with an impressive 4:0 BB. It was his first game in the field, and it's worth noting that he was lifted for a defensive replacement in the sixth inning.

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Undergoing surgery Tuesday

    Devers (abdomen) will undergo season-ending surgery Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Devers was placed on the 60-day injured list Sunday due to a core muscle injury, something that has reportedly bothered the 29-year-old slugger for a number of years, and the Giants should have an update on his recovery timeline following Tuesday's surgery. Devers will finish the 2026 regular season with an .865 OPS with 37 home runs and 98 RBI across 633 plate appearances.

  • George Soriano RP | STL

    Cardinals' George Soriano: Up to four saves

    Soriano picked up the save in Sunday 3-1 win over the White Sox, working around a hit and two walks in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Things got dicey for Soriano in the ninth Sunday, but the right-hander managed to strand the bases loaded and earn his fourth save this season. With Riley O'Brien struggling of late, Soriano has gotten a chance to close out games down the stretch -- he's now logged saves in two of his last four appearances. Overall, Soriano sports a 4.36 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP and 63:34 K:BB across 64 innings this season.

  • Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Sharp in seventh win

    McGreevy (7-9) earned the win Sunday over the White Sox, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out six.

    McGreevy turned in another strong start Sunday, as he held the White Sox to a lone second-inning run. The right-hander has now turned in back-to-back quality starts, allowing just three earned runs across 12.2 innings in that span, after giving up 11 runs in 10 innings in his prior two outings. McGreevy's ERA now sits at 3.83 across 29 starts (160 innings) this season with a 1.24 WHIP and 112:45 K:BB. He's currently lined up to face the Nationals at home his next time out.

  • Turner Hill LF | SF

    Giants' Turner Hill: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Hill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Hill started the previous five games and will get a day off after going 1-for-19 with a double and two walks during that stretch. Drew Gilbert, Jonah Cox and Jung Hoo Lee are starting from left to right in the outfield while Scott Bandura makes his MLB debut as the designated hitter.

  • Jack Sinclair RP | WAS

    Nationals' Jack Sinclair: Collects first major-league save

    Sinclair earned the save in Friday's 6-5 win over the Angels, allowing one run on one hit while striking out one batter in the ninth inning.

    Erik Tolman was brought out for the eighth inning, so the Nationals turned to Sinclair to protect their two-run lead in the ninth. Sinclair allowed a leadoff double to Nathaniel Lowe, who came home to score two batters later, but Sinclair secured the victory for Washington after getting Zach Neto to strike out. It was the first save of Sinclair's major-league career, and through his first five big-league appearances, he has allowed one run on two hits and three walks while striking out five across 5.1 innings.

  • Giants' Scott Bandura: Promoted, making MLB debut

    The Giants selected Bandura's contract from Triple-A Sacramento, and he's batting fifth as the designated hitter Sunday against the Padres.

    The 27-year-old will get his first look in the majors after posting an .895 OPS with 13 homers and 34 steals in 131 games between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this year. Bandura fills the roster spot vacated by Rafael Devers, who was placed on the 60-day IL on Sunday due to a core muscle injury.

  • Riley Cornelio RP | WAS

    Nationals' Riley Cornelio: Fans four as Sunday's opener

    Cornelio allowed one hit and one walk while striking out four across two scoreless innings as the Nationals' opener in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Angels.

    Cornelio struck out two batters in each of the two frames he pitched in, keeping the Angels off the board before turning things over to Jake Irvin for the third frame. Cornelio has been the Nationals' opener in each of his last two outings, striking out eight batters over five innings in that span. The 26-year-old right-hander could see a couple more starts before the conclusion of the 2026 regular season.

  • Diamondbacks' Ryan Waldschmidt: On bench Sunday

    Waldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    Waldschmidt started the first two games of the series and will receive a day off for the finale while in the midst of a 1-for-19 slump. Lars Nootbaar is manning left field Sunday while Gabriel Moreno rests his legs as the designated hitter.

  • Mike Soroka SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Rejoining rotation Tuesday

    Manager Torey Lovullo announced Sunday that Soroka will start Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

    The right-hander piggybacked Zac Gallen Wednesday against the Royals as both pitchers returned from the injured list, but it'll be Soroka who works out of the rotation moving forward. The 29-year-old has been a reliable starter for Arizona when available this year with a 3.53 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 95:25 K:BB over 99.1 innings.
