  • Blake Dunn CF | CIN

    Reds' Blake Dunn: Not ready for baseball activity

    Dunn (elbow) hoped to resume baseball activity Saturday but was not ready, MLB.com reports.

    Dunn, who received a cortisone injection in his elbow in late June, has been on the injured list retroactive to June 27. The 10-day minimum expires Tuesday, but it appears he may need more time.

  • Dane Myers CF | CIN

    Reds' Dane Myers: Receives injection

    Myers received an injection in the AC joint of his left shoulder Saturday, MLB.com reports.

    Myers is currently on the injured list after slamming into the wall while making a running catch a week ago. Prior to his injury, Myers had been poised for a regular run in center field because of an injury to Blake Dunn (elbow). With both players on the IL, the Reds are getting by with TJ Friedl and Matt McLain in center field.

  • Cubs' Michael Conforto: Bigger role expected through break

    With Matt Shaw (hand) out at least through the All-Star break, per Patrick Mooney of The Athletic, Conforto should continue to see an expanded role in right field.

    Conforto has been the top option in right field against right-handed pitching with Shaw on the shelf, with Seiya Suzuki and Kevin Alcantara also mixing in. Suzuki also frequently serves as Chicago's DH, which was the alignment Saturday, when Conforto started in right and tallied two hits and and a walk from the seventh spot in the lineup. The veteran outfielder has a strong .837 OPS so far this season, and he should continue to be a useful fantasy performer when he's in the lineup.

  • Riley Greene LF | DET

    Tigers' Riley Greene: Hits key home run Saturday

    Greene went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Rangers.

    Greene gave the Tigers all the offense they would need with his 12th home run of the season, a two-run shot in the top of the first inning against Cal Quantrill. The Detroit outfielder has gone deep four times across his past 12 games, and he's sporting a robust .945 OPS during that stretch. For the year, Greene has an .830 OPS, which would barely eke past the .827 mark he posted in 2024 as a new career best.

  • Eli White CF | BOS

    Braves' Eli White: Tallies four RBI in rout

    White went 2-for-2 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Saturday's 14-3 win over the Mets.

    The 32-year-old outfielder was the beneficiary of a generous decision by the official scorer on his three-run double in the third inning, considering Tyrone Taylor dropped the ball in the outfield. White is handling a part-time role for Atlanta, batting .229 with four homers, five doubles, 18 RBI and four stolen bases over 109 at-bats.

  • Joshua Lowe LF | LAA

    Angels' Josh Lowe: Continues strong play since return

    Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Red Sox on Saturday.

    Lowe accounted for the Angels' only extra-base hit and only run when he launched a 437-foot solo homer off Sonny Gray in the first inning. The veteran outfielder spent over a month with Triple-A Salt Lake after getting off to a slow start to the season, but since his return he's playing like he never wants to go back to the minors. Across nine contests after being called back up. Lowe is batting .370 (10-for-27) with two homers, two doubles, five runs, five RBI and a stolen base.

  • Cole Carrigg CF | COL

    Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Posts big performance in loss

    Carrigg went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run in a loss to the Giants on Saturday.

    San Francisco bolted out of the gate with a four-run first inning, but Carrigg quickly gave the Rockies life with a three-run homer to left field in the bottom of that frame. The rookie outfielder added an infield single in the ninth. Carrigg has been red hot of late, batting .409 (9-for-22) with a double, two triples, one homer, eight RBI, seven runs and a stolen base over his past seven games. He's quickly established himself as a promising part of Colorado's future by slashing .293/.378/.573 with four home runs, 19 RBI, 18 runs and a pair of steals over his first 23 big-league contests.

  • Kyle Stowers 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Homers again in win

    Stowers went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

    Stowers has homered three times over the last two games and has hit safely in 11 of his last 13 contests, going 18-for-52 (.346) in that latter span with four homers, 12 RBI, four doubles and two triples. His power took some time to show up this season, but he's gotten himself on track in recent weeks. He's now batting .247 with an .805 OPS, 11 homers, 39 RBI, 35 runs scored, one stolen base, 16 doubles and three triples over 66 contests.

  • Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Homers off bench Saturday

    Chourio went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Chourio got a breather to begin this game before entering as a pinch hitter for Jake Bauers in the seventh inning and remaining in the game. In the ninth, Chourio hit his 13th homer of the year, but the Brewers' comeback came up a run short. The outfielder is now batting .293 with an .879 OPS, 35 RBI, 38 runs scored, 13 doubles and six stolen bases over 53 contests. He has gone 16-for-62 (.258) with six extra-base hits over his last 15 games.

  • Phillies' Gabriel Rincones: Homers, doubles in victory

    Rincones went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two total RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win against the Royals.

    Rincones' first hit was a solo homer immediately following J.T. Realmuto's two-run blast in the fourth inning. Rincones tacked on an insurance run with a run-scoring double in the eighth. The rookie outfielder has taken on an everyday role against right-handed pitchers and has started each of the Phillies' past five games. While he's slashing just .188/.220/.333 on the season, he may be settling in against MLB pitching -- over his past four games, Rincones has gone 5-for-12.
