  • Padres' Miguel Andujar: Trio of doubles in loss

    Andujar went 3-for-4 with three doubles, one RBI and two runs scored in Friday's extra-inning loss to the Royals.

    Andujar recorded his second three-double game in his past four contests. The 31-year-old was able to drive in Jake Cronenworth on an RBI double in the top of the 10th to give the Padres a short-lived lead. On the season, Andujar has slashed .268/.307/.437 with 20 doubles and five homers in 244 plate appearances.

    Blue Jays' Luis Urias: Smacks second homer of 2026

    Urias went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's 12-4 loss to the White Sox.

    The Blue Jays' offense couldn't match the White Sox in Friday's series opener, but Urias contributed offensively with a solo homer to left field in the fourth inning. It was the second long ball of the season for Urias, with his first taking place in his 2026 debut against the Astros on June 23. He'll continue to operate in a depth role in the infield, and his stint on the 26-man roster could be extended given that Lenyn Sosa (wrist) suffered a recent setback in his rehab program.

  • Blue Jays' George Springer: Goes deep against South Siders

    Springer went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI during the Blue Jays' 12-4 loss to the White Sox on Friday.

    Springer got the Blue Jays on the board in the third inning on a fielder's choice before taking Trevor Richards deep to left field in the fifth. It was the 10th home run of the season for Springer, who played defense for the first time this season with a start in left field. That could open more opportunities at DH for catchers Alejandro Kirk and Brandon Valenzuela, or even rookie Sean Keys, as Toronto searches for a spark on offense.

  • Spencer Miles RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Spencer Miles: Knocked around for six runs

    Miles (4-2) took the loss against the White Sox on Friday, allowing six runs on six hits while striking out four across four innings. He did not issue a walk.

    Miles got into early trouble, yielding five runs in the second inning, capped off by a two-run homer by Sam Antonacci. Miles was tagged for one more run on a bases-clearing double in the fifth, and his five earned runs tied a season high he set against the Orioles on May 31. He figures to get at least one more turn in the rotation, with his next start tentatively slated for next week at home against the Rays. However, that could be Miles' last start if Max Scherzer (back) is cleared to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list.

  • Padres' Fernando Tatis: Picks up three hits in loss

    Tatis went 3-for-5 with an RBI single in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Royals in 10 innings.

    Tatis had been hitless in his previous two games before recording a trio of hits against Kansas City on Friday. The 27-year-old drove in Miguel Andujar with an RBI single in the top of the 10th to extend San Diego's lead to 5-3. On the campaign, Tatis is now slashing .281/.343/.377 with five homers, 36 RBI and 23 steals in 421 plate appearances.

  • Braves' Michael Harris: Smacks bases-clearing double

    Harris went 2-for-6 with two doubles and three RBI during Friday's 15-1 win over Texas.

    This marks the second time this season that Harris has hit two doubles in a game. His second two-bagger Friday cleared the bases in the seventh inning to extend Atlanta's lead to 11-0. The 25-year-old outfielder continues to enjoy a productive season, slashing .297/.329/.491 with 16 home runs, 56 RBI and six steals across 359 plate appearances.

  • Alex Lange RP | KC

    Royals' Alex Lange: Takes first blown save

    Lange blew the save Friday, allowing one run on one hit in the ninth inning in Friday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Padres.

    After being called upon to protect the 3-2 lead in the ninth inning, Lange retired the first two batters he faced before being taken deep by Ty France for the game-tying solo home run, resulting in Lange's first blown save of the season. The 30-year-old has been shaky in his last seven games for Kansas City, recording an 18.56 ERA, 2.25 WHIP and 2:3 K:BB in 5.1 innings. The Royals have had trouble closing games this season, with Lucas Erceg, Matt Strahm and Daniel Lynch all having multiple blown saves on the campaign.

  • Michael King SP | SD

    Padres' Michael King: Picks up no-decision Friday

    King allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision Friday against the Royals.

    King pitched five efficient innings, allowing just one mistake which resulted in a solo home run off the bat of Lane Thomas in the bottom of the second. The 31-year-old King exited the game with his team leading 2-1 before Xander Bogaerts committed a throwing error to allow the game-tying run to cross the plate in the bottom of the sixth, giving King a no-decision. On the season, King now has a 3.34 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 96:45 K:BB in 113.1 innings.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Smacks late homer against Texas

    Riley went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 15-1 win over the Rangers.

    Riley added to Atlanta's blowout victory with a solo homer in the eighth, his 10th long ball of the season. He's sitting at a .629 OPS over 390 plate appearances this season and has struck out 113 times, which is fifth-most in the National League. Perhaps Friday's performance is a sign of things to come for Riley for the second half of the regular season.

  • Seth Lugo SP | KC

    Royals' Seth Lugo: Takes no-decision Friday

    Lugo allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings a no-decision Friday against the Padres.

    Lugo recorded six strong innings on 93 pitches but did not factor into the decision against San Diego. The two runs Lugo allowed crossed the plate on the same play due to a fielding error by Michael Massey, which allowed both Ty France and Miguel Andujar to score in the top of the fifth. After making his 20th start of the year, the 36-year-old Lugo now maintains a 4.39 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 89:36 K:BB through 110.2 innings this season. Lugo is in line to make his next start Wednesday against the Giants.
