MLB Player News

O'Hearn went 4-for-5 with three home runs and 10 RBI in Tuesday's 12-4 win over Atlanta.

O'Hearn launched a grand slam and two three-run shots, driving in 10 of Pittsburgh's 14 runs. Per Aiden Stepansky of MLB.com, O'Hearn became just the 17th player in the modern era to tally at least 10 RBI in a game. The 32-year-old has now hit safely in eight of his past nine starts, including another multi-homer effort June 28. On the season, he's slashing .293/.351/.500 with 16 homers, 61 RBI, 47 runs scored and one steal across 319 plate appearances in what is shaping up to be a career year.

Troy is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

Troy will give way to Tim Tawa in center field after occupying the position in the Diamondbacks' previous five contests. Since getting the call to the big leagues May 23, Troy has been a near-everyday player for Arizona but hasn't been a strong source of fantasy value. Through his first 36 games in the majors, Troy has scored 20 runs, but his production in other categories has been severely lacking (.221 average, three home runs, one stolen base, seven RBI).

Eaton will begin serving a two-game suspension Tuesday, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.

Major League Baseball initially issued Eaton a three-game ban for his role in the bench-clearing altercation between the Red Sox and Nationals last Tuesday, but his suspension has been cut down to two games following an appeal. He'll be eligible to return for Thursday's series finale against the White Sox.

The Blue Jays optioned Pinango to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Pinango has gone just 4-for-23 (.174) in eight games since his return to the big leagues, and he'll now end up as the roster casualty necessary to clear space for Chad Dallas. The 24-year-old Pinango still owns a .726 OPS with Toronto this season and figures to return to the majors later in the year.

Edman (foot/ankle) will start in left field and bat fifth Tuesday against the Rockies, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Problems with his surgically repaired right foot/ankle kept Edman out of the starting nine for the Dodgers' last two games, though he came in off the bench in both contests. Now healthy and back in the lineup, he'll aim to stay hot after slashing .347/439/.510 with nine RBI and six runs scored in 17 games since his return from the injured list June 17.

Lara is starting in center field and batting second in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

The 21-year-old was promoted prior to the start of the twin bill and didn't see the field in Game 1, but he'll fill a marquee spot in the lineup while making his MLB debut in the nightcap. Lara is one of Milwaukee's top prospects and has posted a .910 OPS with nine homers and 24 steals in 78 games at Triple-A Nashville this season.

Mitchell isn't in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Mitchell went 2-for-4 and drove in a run during Milwaukee's Game 1 victory, but he'll move to the bench to allow Luis Lara to make his MLB debut while starting in center field during the nightcap.

Chourio isn't in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against St. Louis.

Chourio will retreat to the bench for the final half of Tuesday's twin bill after going 0-for-5 at the plate in Game 1. Jake Bauers will fill in as Milwaukee's left fielder, affording Andrew Vaughn a start at first base.

Marte is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

Marte will head to the bench for the second time in three games while the Reds go with Spencer Steer in right field. After getting off to a hot start upon being recalled from Triple-A Louisville on June 3, Marte has gone 6-for-41 (.146 average) with a 27.3 percent strikeout rate over his last 12 games.

Langford (hamstring) ran at a high intensity Tuesday and hopes to be reinstated before the All-Star break begins next week, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Manager Skip Schumaker indicated last week that Langford would be out through the midseason break due to the left hamstring strain, but the outfielder has apparently made significant progress in his recovery over the past few days. Langford will likely need to pass every test in his rehab with flying colors the next few days for the Rangers to seriously consider reinstating him for the final games before the All-Star break.
