Cody Bellinger LF | NYY
Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Goes deep Monday
Bellinger went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-2 win against the Twins on Monday.
Bellinger got the scoring started for New York, swatting a solo shot in the first inning. It was his first long ball in a tough beginning to August, as the slugger is batting just .158 (6-for-38) through 10 contests this month. Despite the rough patch, Bellinger still holds a healthy .814 OPS on the campaign, and he's recorded 21 homers, 67 RBI, 65 runs and 10 stolen bases over 110 games.

Royals' Mark Canha: Rehab moving to Triple-A
The Royals transferred Canha's (elbow) rehab assignment from Double-A Northwest Arkansas to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
Canha appeared in three games for Northwest Arkansas, going 3-for-11 with a home run. He'll likely play in at least a couple of games for Omaha before the Royals potentially bring him back from the 10-day injured list for this weekend's series versus the White Sox.

Tyler Soderstrom LF | ATH
Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Belts three-run blast in defeat
Soderstrom went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a loss versus Tampa Bay on Monday.
Soderstrom narrowed his team's five-run deficit to just two runs with his three-run homer in the seventh frame, but that was as close as the A's would get. The powerful young outfielder extended his on-base streak to 13 games, a stretch in which he's batting .304 (14-for-46) with three homers and 11 RBI. Soderstrom has had a few extended power droughts this year but has otherwise been a steady offensive presence for the Athletics, slashing .260/.333/.469 with 22 long balls, 71 RBI, 59 runs and six stolen bases through 120 contests.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Homers in loss

Anthony belted the third home run of his young career in the eighth inning, though the Red Sox ultimately couldn't complete the comeback and pull out a victory. The rookie has been outstanding and only improving as the season progresses, batting .345/.463/.527 with eight RBI over his past 15 games.

Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Smashes 16th homer
Langford went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks.
Langford ended his home run drought Monday, launching his first bomb since July 11 with a three-run blast in the sixth inning to pull the Rangers closer. While he hasn't delivered the breakout many expected in his second season, the young outfielder still holds a solid .733 OPS with 16 homers and 15 steals through 99 games.

Clarke (hip) is nearing a return from the 10-day injured list, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.
General manager David Forst didn't specify if Clarke, who landed on the 10-day injured list July 22 with a Grade 2 right adductor strain, would require a rehab assignment. However, Forst noted that Clarke "is close to going out and playing," per Kleinschmidt. A firm timetable for Clarke's return could come into focus over the next few days.

Jesus Sanchez DH | ARI
Astros' Jesus Sanchez: Idle against southpaw
Sanchez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.
The left-handed-hitting Sanchez started and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Sunday's 7-1 win while southpaw Max Fried toed the rubber for the Yankees, but Sanchez will take a seat Monday against Red Sox lefty Garrett Crochet. With Sanchez on the bench for the series opener, Mauricio Dubon will pick up a start in left field.
