  • Rece Hinds RF | BAL

    Reds' Rece Hinds: Starts against lefty

    Hinds started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Yankees.

    Hinds, who was called up from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, entered the starting nine against New York lefty Carlos Rodon. Hinds had a healthy .298/.365/.556 line with 11 home runs, 44 RBI, 13 steals and 41 runs over 57 games for Louisville.

  • Jacob Young CF | WAS

    Nationals' Jacob Young: Logs steal in loss

    Young went 2-for-3 with one RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Padres.

    It's Young's second straight game with a successful pilfer after a 24-game slump on the basepaths in which he was caught stealing on five straight attempts, but his defense has kept him in the starting lineup since Robert Hassell was sent down to Triple-A Rochester on June 15. Overall, Young has a .248/.323/.297 slash line with no home runs, seven steals on 15 attempts, seven RBI, 18 runs scored, five doubles and a triple over 169 plate appearances.

  • Braves' Michael Harris: Day-to-day after HBP

    Harris (elbow) went 0-for-2 with a run scored before exiting Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Mets due to a right elbow injury, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Harris was hit in the elbow by a pitch in the sixth inning, causing his removal from the contest, but he revealed following the game that he didn't sustain any structural damage. The center fielder is considered day-to-day, and it wouldn't be surprising if he ended up taking a seat in Wednesday's game. Stuart Fairchild or Eli White could be called upon to start in center field in that case, with the former having replaced Harris in Tuesday's tilt.

  • Alek Thomas CF | LAD

    Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas: Swipes bag in win

    Thomas went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

    Thomas singled, stole and later scored during a three-run seventh for the Diamondbacks. The base knock was Thomas' first since June 14. Despite the recent struggles, Thomas doesn't have any major threat behind him to take away playing time. Jake McCarthy was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday but is expected to primarily make starts in right field while coming up to replace Corbin Carroll (hand).

  • Kyle Tucker RF | LAD

    Cubs' Kyle Tucker: Stays hot Tuesday

    Tucker went 3-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and two RBI in a loss to the Cardinals on Tuesday.

    Tucker went 0-for-4 in Monday's contest but has been mostly locked in lately, and Tuesday was no exception. Over his last 10 games, the outfielder has gone 14-for-36 with six extra-base hits, five RBI and eight runs scored. This was the second three-hit effort for Tucker during his recent hot stretch, and he remains an elite fantasy option across all formats, especially when he's seeing the ball this well.

  • Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Could need another shoulder surgery

    Mitchell (oblique) could require another surgery on his left shoulder after the initial diagnosis was that he dislodged some of the anchors from his previous surgery during a rehab game with Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Mitchell will receive a second opinion before a decision on surgery is made. If he does go under the knife again, he would require 8-to-10 weeks to recover, so it wouldn't necessarily be a season-ending operation. Mitchell -- who missed most of the 2023 season following labrum surgery -- initially went on the 10-day injured list back in late April with a left oblique strain.

  • Cardinals' Garrett Hampson: Claimed by Cardinals

    The Cardinals claimed Hampson off waivers from the Reds on Tuesday.

    The utility player will offer protection all over the field for the Cardinals but is unlikely to play much. Hampson, 30, is a career .238/.301/.357 hitter over parts of eight major-league seasons.

  • Jose Barrero SS | BAL

    Cardinals' Jose Barrero: Designated for assignment

    The Cardinals designated Barrero for assignment Tuesday.

    Barrero played sparingly after being added to the roster in late April and slashed just .138/.194/.276 in 26 contests. The transaction clears a spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters for the addition of waiver claim Garrett Hampson.

  • Tyrone Taylor LF | CHC

    Mets' Tyrone Taylor: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Taylor is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

    Taylor has a .190/.250/.293 slash line through 20 games in June and will take a seat Tuesday after starting the previous two contests. Jeff McNeil will move out to center field while Ronny Mauricio receives a start at the keystone.

  • Jake McCarthy LF | COL

    Diamondbacks' Jake McCarthy: Summoned from Triple-A

    The Diamondbacks recalled McCarthy from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

    The 27-year-old was demoted to Reno in late April after batting .073 (3-for-41) through 14 games, but he'll receive another chance in the majors due to Corbin Carroll landing on the injured list with a fractured wrist. McCarthy has been productive at Triple-A this season with 12 steals, one home run and a .314/.401/.440 slash line in 237 plate appearances. He will start in right field Tuesday against the White Sox, and he could end up filling the strong side of a platoon at the position with the right-handed-hitting Randal Grichuk while Carroll is on the shelf.
