MLB Player News

The Rangers recalled Cauley from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

Cauley put up a .626 OPS with one homer in 28 games for the Rangers earlier this season in his first big-league stint. The 23-year-old can handle shortstop, second base, third base and center field, but even factoring in that versatility, his role could be limited in September.

The Red Sox reinstated Kiner-Falefa (forearm) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

The 31-year-old has been sidelined since mid-June due to a stress reaction in his right forearm, but he's rejoining the Red Sox with MLB rosters expanding to 28 players Tuesday. Kiner-Falefa has a .277/.344/.361 slash line with two homers and seven steals through 47 games this season and should work as a utility infielder down the stretch.

The Dodgers recalled Freeland from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Freeland will give the Dodgers protection at multiple positions in the final month of the regular season. The 25-year-old has slashed .231/.309/.313 across 72 games during his time with the big club this season.

Basabe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.

Basabe took Bryce Elder deep in the sixth inning for a game-tying solo homer, pulling San Francisco even at 3-3. After homering three times over his first four games in August, Basabe entered Monday having gone 21 consecutive games without a long ball. The utility man is slashing .207/.245/.359 with four homers, two doubles, nine RBI, nine runs and two steals across 28 games this season.

Marte went 1-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Phillies on Monday.

Marte made a somewhat abrupt return after a dramatic couple weeks during which he initially no-showed a game against Boston before landing on the restricted list and then on the IL due to a knee injury. The infielder was greeted by a chorus of boos by his home crowd upon his first at-bat, which ended with a groundout. However, Marte ultimately got aboard twice with a sixth-inning walk and an eighth-inning single. The Diamondbacks are currently half a game behind San Diego for the NL's final wild-card spot, so Marte figures to be a consistent presence in Arizona's lineup moving forward despite his recent antics.

Grissom went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs and four RBI in a 10-1 win over the Yankees on Monday.

Grissom put the Angels on the board with a run-scoring single in the third inning. He added an RBI on a fielder's choice in the sixth and finished his night with a two-run double in the eighth. It was Grissom's sixth performance this season of three or more hits, and it was his first multi-hit effort since he slugged two homers Aug. 25 versus Cleveland. The 25-year-old ended August on a high note, but he didn't have a great month overall, batting just .212 with two homers, six doubles, 12 RBI, one stolen base and a 3:24 BB:K over 26 contests.

Foscue went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-1 victory over the Athletics.

Foscue demolished a center-cut fastball from Gage Jump into the left-field seats for a solo homer in the fourth inning. The infielder has been hot at the dish of late, slashing .282/.349/.590 with three homers over his past 15 contests. With most of his starts coming against left-handed pitching, Foscue is hitting .261/.327/.494 with 10 homers, 26 RBI and 21 runs across 199 plate appearances this season.

Hoerner went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 17-3 win over the Brewers.

Hoerner contributed early in the blowout win, launching a solo homer to left field in the first inning. It marked the 29-year-old's first long ball since Aug. 4, as he slashed .287/.309/.333 with eight RBI, seven runs and five stolen bases during the 22-game homer drought. On the year, Hoerner is hitting .263/.319/.362 with eight homers, 62 RBI, 55 runs and 22 stolen bases across 135 contests.

The Rockies are expected to recall Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday when rosters expand, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Amador will provide Colorado with more infield depth once the move becomes official ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Baltimore. He spent five games with the Rockies earlier in the year, going 3-for-10 with one home run, six RBI and five runs.

Lee went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 11-1 loss to the Twins.

Lee provided all of Detroit's offense in the lopsided loss with a sixth inning solo shot, his eighth home run of the season. The rookie, who started at third base Monday before shifting over to second, has settled into a regular infield role recently for the Tigers. Detroit is now sitting at 63-74 and falling out of the playoff race, which means Lee is likely to hold onto the increased playing time, with veteran Gleyber Torres in line to see his opportunities decrease. Lee has played well so far at the MLB level and is only boosting his fantasy stock heading into 2027, when he could be a full-time starter to begin the year.
