Bolte went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double, a walk and two total runs scored in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Tigers.

Bolte logged just six hits over his previous 18 games, a span in which he had just one extra-base hit. He ended the power drought with an eighth-inning blast Saturday, though the Athletics' late comeback effort fell short. Bolte is now batting .257 with a .690 OPS, four homers, 21 RBI, 22 runs scored, eight doubles and 12 stolen bases over 68 contests. He showed promise earlier in the season, so he may be able to turn things around after a disappointing July.

Clark went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Athletics.

The rookie has taken advantage of a favorable hitting environment in Sacramento in his first two MLB games, going 5-for-9 with a homer, three RBI and two doubles. Clark hit 11 homers in 90 contests for Triple-A Toledo before he received his first major-league call-up Friday. The outfielder should get the chance to see a near-everyday role for the remainder of the season.

Rave went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Rockies.

Rave helped the Royals mount a murmur of protest in the ninth inning with a solo shot to right field. Since returning from the minors July 29, Rave has started three of four contests and has gone 5-for-10 with two doubles, a homer, an RBI and a stolen base. He's seen limited action in the majors this season (31 plate appearances over 12 contests) but has done well when called upon, slashing .321/.387/.750.

Hernandez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Hernandez produced the only scoring play for the Dodgers, taking Payton Tolle deep in the second inning. This was Hernandez's second homer in his last three contests after an 18-game power drought. He has gone 11-for-30 (.367) over his last eight games while maintaining a starting role in the outfield. He's batting .256 with a .736 OPS, 10 homers, 40 RBI, 45 runs scored, 12 doubles and two stolen bases over 76 contests this season.

Acuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in an 8-3 win against the Nationals on Saturday.

Acuna kicked off the scoring with a 419-foot solo shot to center field in the first inning. It was the star outfielder's second long ball in three games and just his third hit of any sort over six contests since returning from the injured list July 27. Acuna has struggled to a .136 batting average (3-for-22) since his return and has struck out at least once in each game during that span, so he seems to be still shaking off some rust.

Rafaela went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers.

Rafaela homered in each of his first two at-bats in this game, taking Yoshinobu Yamamoto deep both times. That's now six homers in the last 11 games for Rafaela and three over two contests during this series in Los Angeles. The outfielder is batting .288 with a .798 OPS, 14 homers, 56 RBI, 54 runs scored and 15 stolen bases over 106 contests this year. His recent power surge has put him two long balls away from matching his career-high total from the 2025 regular season.

Jones went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Cubs.

Jones scored both of the Yankees' runs, highlighted by a solo shot that gave them a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning. The 25-year-old has now hit safely in four straight games, going deep three times with five RBI during that stretch. He's held his own through 105 major-league plate appearances, slashing .247/.333/.452 with five homers, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored and three steals despite a 38.1 percent strikeout rate.

DeLauter went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 12-8 loss to the Diamondbacks.

DeLauter scored the game's first run before opening the eighth inning with a solo blast off Paul Sewald. While the 24-year-old outfielder posted a strong .857 OPS in 24 July contests, Saturday's long ball marked his first homer in 14 games since the All-Star break. For the year, he's slashing .276/.345/.440 with 12 home runs, 52 RBI, 40 runs scored and six steals across 394 plate appearances in what continues to be a productive rookie campaign.

The Dodgers traded Hope, River Ryan (hamstring) and Brady Smith to the Tigers on Saturday in exchange for Tarik Skubal, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

It's a hefty package for Skubal, with the Tigers acquiring the Dodgers' No. 5, 7 and 17 prospects in return, per Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee. Hope had worked his way up to Double-A Tulsa after being acquired by the Dodgers from the Cubs in January in 2024, and he's slashed .293/.369/.530 with 18 steals (in 21 attempts), 23 home runs and 87 RBI across 425 plate appearances this season. Hope figures to stay in Double-A for the time being, but a big-league debut in 2027 is certainly on the table.

Carroll went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 12-8 win over the Guardians.

Carroll walked and scored in the first inning before launching a three-run blast to break the game open in the seventh. The 25-year-old is batting just .228 through 14 games since the All-Star break, though he's hit safely in 11 of them while tallying eight extra-base hits. For the year, he's slashing .249/.344/.483 with 16 homers, 52 RBI, 67 runs scored and 15 steals across 465 plate appearances.
