  • Rays' Austin Slater: Heading to big leagues

    The Rays plan to call up Slater from Triple-A Durham, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Signed to a minor-league contract in late May, Slater has a 1.160 OPS in six games with Durham. The Rays are slated to face three left-handers in their early-week series versus the Red Sox, so the right-handed-hitting Slater should get some reps in the outfield. Slater has slashed just .209/.286/.233 through 49 plate appearances in the majors this season.

  • Trent Grisham CF | NYY

    Yankees' Trent Grisham: Stuffs stat sheet Sunday

    Grisham went 3-for-4 with a double, a run, an RBI and a stolen base against Boston in a 6-1 win Sunday.

    Grisham paced the Yankees with his three hits, including a run-scoring single in the eighth inning. The veteran outfielder extended his on-base streak to 10 games, during which he's batting .350 (14-for-40) with two homers, eight runs, six RBI and two thefts. Grisham was batting a paltry .151 through 30 contests at the end of the April, but he's hit a solid .281 over 32 games since to lift his season slash line to .222/.335/.401.

  • Cody Bellinger LF | NYY

    Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Swats long ball Sunday

    Bellinger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday in a 6-1 victory against the Red Sox.

    Bellinger broke a 1-1 tie with a solo shot in the eighth inning. The Yankees went on to score five more times in the frame to turn a pitchers' duel into a runaway win. The long ball was Bellinger's first extra-base hit since May 26, but he's still been reaching base consistently, collecting three multi-hit performances over his past six contests. Overall, he's slashing .273/.373/.476 with nine homers, 41 RBI, 38 runs and seven stolen bases across 64 contests on the campaign.

  • Jose Siri LF | LAA

    Angels' Jose Siri: Tallies three hits Sunday

    Siri went 3-for-3 with two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.

    Siri logged his highest hit total in a game since June 2024, spraying a trio of singles as part of the Angels' offensive onslaught. Through 34 plate appearances this season, the 30-year-old is hitting .355 with a 1.039 OPS, two homers, three doubles, nine RBI and 11 runs scored. Siri has primarily played left field this season, though he shifted to center field Sunday with Mike Trout slotting in at designated hitter.

  • Jo Adell RF | CLE

    Angels' Jo Adell: Goes deep in four-hit effort

    Adell went 4-for-5 with a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 13-5 victory over the Dodgers.

    Adell logged a season high with four knocks, highlighted by a monstrous two-run homer to extend the Angels' lead in the seventh inning. It marked the outfielder's first multi-hit performance since May 20, as he entered Sunday hitting .155 across his previous 15 appearances. On the year, Adell is slashing .243/.283/.392 with 10 homers, 37 RBI, 26 runs and three stolen bases across 66 games.

  • Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Logs two steals Sunday

    Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with two steals and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Detroit.

    Rodriguez recorded both of his steals in the seventh inning before being brought home on an RBI single from Randy Arozarena. It was the second time in the series and the third time this season that Rodriguez logged two steals. He's up to nine steals on the year and is behind the pace needed to match his total from the 2025 regular season (30). Rodriguez is slashing .258/.316/.457 with 13 home runs, 32 RBI and 36 runs scored over 291 plate appearances this season.

  • Colton Cowser CF | BAL

    Orioles' Colton Cowser: Smacks homer off Gausman

    Cowser went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during the Orioles' 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday.

    Cowser kickstarted Baltimore's four-run fifth inning with a solo homer off Kevin Gausman. Cowser has gone deep in back-to-back games and is up to six home runs on the season. He has reached base safely in eight of his last nine games, and over that span he has gone 10-for-25 with three home runs and eight RBI.

  • Taylor Ward RF | SEA

    Orioles' Taylor Ward: Belts two-run homer

    Ward went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during the Orioles' 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday.

    Ward capped off the Orioles' four-run fifth inning with a two-run homer off Kevin Gausman to left field. It was just the third home run of the season for Ward, but the veteran outfielder has been better at the plate as of late. He has gone 8-for-21 (.381) with two extra-base hits, three RBI and four runs over his last five games.

  • Wenceel Perez RF | DET

    Tigers' Wenceel Perez: Triples, drives in two Sunday

    Perez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.

    Batting ninth, Perez provided a jolt for the Tigers, which he's managed to do more frequently lately. Over his last 15 games, the outfielder is batting .316 with five extra-base hits, two stolen bases, seven RBI and 11 runs scored. It's still been a mostly down season for Perez, though his recent stretch at least gives fantasy managers some degree of optimism.

  • Royals' Starling Marte: Pops first homer in win

    Marte went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Twins.

    Drawing the start at designated hitter versus southpaw Connor Prielipp, Marte lifted his first homer of the campaign Sunday. The left-handed-hitting Carter Jensen should continue to serve as Kansas City's primary DH, but Marte could see an uptick in at-bats in right field until Jac Caglianone (shoulder) returns to action. Even so, Marte is slashing a pedestrian .258/.315/.348 with four extra-base hits, five RBI, five runs scored and no stolen bases over 73 plate appearances.
