  • Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Goes yard again Monday

    Mauricio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Padres.

    The switch-hitting infielder took Padres closer Robert Suarez deep in the top of the ninth inning to tie the game at 6-6, only for San Diego to walk it off in the bottom of the frame. Mauricio has homered in back-to-back contests, and over 16 games in July he's slashing .292/.358/.563 with four doubles, three home runs, one steal four RBI and 10 runs as he stakes a claim to a strong-side platoon role at third base.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Triples in defeat

    Chapman went 1-for-4 with an RBI triple and was hit by a pitch in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Pirates.

    Chapman lined a triple to right field in the first inning, driving in the Giants' first run. The third baseman initially struggled upon returning to game action following an extended absence due to a sprained right hand. However, he's turned things around recently, recording at least one hit in seven of his last eight games. During that span, he's slashed .355/.444/.903 with 11 RBI, seven runs scored, four homers, two triples and a double across 36 plate appearances.

  • Mark Vientos DH | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Slugs grand slam in loss

    Vientos went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in a loss to the Padres on Monday.

    It could have actually been a bigger game for Vientos -- he was robbed of a homer by Fernando Tatis in the fourth inning. When Vientos next came to the plate with the bases loaded in the fifth, he ensured Tatis couldn't rob him again, smashing a 385-foot shot to clear the bases. The long ball ended a lengthy power drought for Vientos, whose previous home run had come May 28, a span of 23 games. Vientos now has seven homers over 74 contests this year, well off the pace of the 27 home runs he belted across 111 regular-season games in 2024.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Homers, plates four in win

    Riley went 2-for-6 with a homer, a double, and four RBI in Monday's 10-7 victory at Kansas City.

    The Atlanta third baseman clubbed a 422-foot solo shot off Royals reliever Sam Long to tally his first long ball since returning from an abdomen injury July 25. Riley also cleared the bases with his 20th two-bagger of the season in the eighth to notch his fourth game with four or more RBI this season. Through 427 total plate appearances, the two-time All-Star is slashing .268/.319/.437 with 15 homers, 52 RBI and 52 runs scored in 97 games.

  • Jack Brannigan SS | PIT

    Pirates' Jack Brannigan: On mend from labrum surgery

    The Pirates announced last week that Brannigan underwent season-ending surgery to repair the labrum in his right shoulder, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Double-A Altoona initially placed Brannigan on the injured list June 14 before the Pirates determined just over a month later that he would need an operation to address his shoulder injury. The 24-year-old infielder is expected to make a full recovery in advance of the next season, but he'll finish the 2025 campaign with a .225/.329/.358 slash line to go with five home runs and nine stolen bases across 237 plate appearances with Altoona.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: X-rays come back clean

    X-rays on Suarez's right index finger came back negative after he was hit by a pitch during Monday's 5-1 loss to the Tigers, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. He finished the contest 1-for-3 with a base hit.

    Suarez took a 96-mile-per-hour fastball from Will Vest off his dominant hand during his final plate appearance in the top of the ninth inning. Manager Torey Lovullo has labeled Suarez as day-to-day for now, but the veteran third baseman will undergo further testing Tuesday. With the Diamondbacks looking to sell ahead of Thursday's trade deadline and Suarez being one of the top bats available, his status warrants close attention.

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Undergoing X-rays on hand

    Manager Torey Lovullo said after Monday's loss to the Tigers that Suarez will undergo X-rays on his right hand, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Lovullo continued to say that Suarez's hand and fingers were tender to the touch, and he's viewed as day-to-day for the time being. Suarez took a 96 mph fastball from Will Vest off the right hand in the top of the ninth inning and was immediately removed from the game in favor of Blaze Alexander.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Exits after HBP on hand

    Suarez exited Monday's game against the Tigers after being hit by a pitch on the right hand in the top of the ninth inning, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.

    Suarez took a 96 mph fastball from Will Vest off the hand and was removed from the game in favor of Blaze Alexander. On the evening, Suarez went 1-for-3 at the plate. The subject of heavy trade speculation in the three days leading up to the deadline, Suarez will presumably undergo X-rays.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Beginning rehab assignment Tuesday

    Manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Muncy (knee) will begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Muncy landed on the 10-day injured list in early July due to a bone bruise in his left knee. He has recovered more quickly than expected, and he could return to the big club in early August if his rehab assignment goes smoothly. Muncy posted an .832 OPS with four steals, 13 home runs and 55 RBI across 315 plate appearances prior to his injury.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Taking seat Monday

    Arenado is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

    Arenado has gone 1-for-13 at the plate during the first four games of the Cardinals' homestand and appears to be getting a routine day off Monday. Thomas Saggese will cover third base and bat eighth for the Cardinals.
