  • Max Schuemann LF | NYY

    Yankees' Max Schuemann: Heading to bench for Game 2

    Schuemann is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Dodgers.

    Schuemann will hit the bench for the night after he went 0-for-3 while starting in right field in the Yankees' 8-2 loss in Game 1. Jasson Dominguez served as the Yankees' designated hitter in the early game but will replace Schuemann in right field for the nightcap.

  • Nathan Church CF | STL

    Cardinals' Nathan Church: Idle against lefty

    Church is not in the lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Diamondbacks.

    After going a combined 0-for-8 with a strikeout in his first two games back since the midseason break, Church will get a breather for the series finale. Jose Fermin will start in center field and bat seventh.

  • Cole Carrigg CF | COL

    Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Idle Sunday

    Carrigg is absent from Sunday's lineup against Cincinnati.

    Carrigg will ride the bench for the second time during this three-game set against the Reds. Jake McCarthy will shift to center field in place of Carrigg.

  • Rece Hinds RF | BAL

    Marlins' Rece Hinds: Optioned to Jacksonville

    Miami optioned Hinds to Jacksonville on Sunday.

    After spending just over a week with the big-league club, Hinds will make his way back down to Jacksonville. The 25-year-old logged just two at-bats with the Marlins in his second big-league stint this season and his first with Miami. The Marlins recalled Graham Pauley from Triple-A to take Hinds' spot on the active roster.

  • Padres' Fernando Tatis: Swats homer, logs steal Saturday

    Tatis went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to Kansas City.

    Not much went right for San Diego in the defeat, but Tatis at least prevented the team from being shut out with his third-inning solo homer. The speedy slugger added a theft of second base to round out a productive line. Tatis is up to 24 stolen bases on the campaign -- tied for fifth-most in the majors -- but Saturday's long ball was just his sixth this season. The lack of power has led to a .732 OPS, which is on pace to be the lowest mark of Tatis' career.

  • Lane Thomas LF | ATL

    Royals' Lane Thomas: Crushes two-run homer Saturday

    Thomas went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Padres.

    Thomas crushed a hanging breaking ball from Griffin Canning for a two-run homer to kick off the scoring in the first inning. The outfielder has gone yard in back-to-back games coming out of the All-Star break and has been hot in July, slashing .340/.400/.740 with four homers, 11 RBI and nine runs across 13 contests. Thomas' season marks sit at .243/.342/.423 with nine homers, 34 RBI, 29 runs and four stolen bases over 84 games.

  • Carlos Cortes LF | ATH

    Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Tallies two extra-base hits in win

    Cortes went 2-for-4 with a homer, a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a hit by pitch in Saturday's 15-1 win over the Nationals.

    Cortes ripped an RBI double in the first inning before adding a solo homer in the seventh frame as part of the Athletics' offensive explosion. After a dreadful June at the plate, the outfielder has gone 10-for-28 (.357) with four extra-base hits (one homer), three RBI and five runs across nine games in July. Overall, Cortes is slashing .283/.360/.448 with seven homers, 25 RBI, 22 runs and a stolen base across 75 contests in 2026.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Blasts homer in blowout win

    Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, two additional runs scored and was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 15-1 win over the Nationals.

    Soderstrom added to the offensive explosion, blasting a two-run homer in the sixth inning to stretch the lead to 8-0. The left fielder has now gone deep in back-to-back games since returning from the All-Star break. On the year, the 24-year-old is slashing .245/.346/.484 with 16 homers, 46 RBI, 47 runs and a stolen base across 86 contests.

  • Evan Carter CF | TEX

    Rangers' Evan Carter: Involved in comeback win

    Carter went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 7-6 win over Atlanta.

    Carter helped the Rangers overcome an early deficit when he swatted a game-tying, two-run homer in the sixth inning. The center fielder continues to get regular work against right-handed pitching, but Carter rarely impacts games the way he did Saturday. He's slashing .193/.307/.346 with eight home runs, 24 RBI, 11 steals and 33 runs through 80 contests.

  • Angel Martinez LF | CLE

    Guardians' Angel Martinez: Begins rehab assignment

    Martinez (foot) started in left field and went 0-for-2 for Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

    Martinez, who began a rehab assignment with the Clippers, was slated to play five innings, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com, but the game was suspended due to rain. He did not participate in the game when it continued Saturday. Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt said the outfielder came out of the game feeling good. The Guardians plan to take it day-to-day with Martinez as he ramps up to a full workload. The club could use most of the 20 days allotted for position players on rehab assignments.
