Curtis Terry Gets First Career Hit

He went 2-for-3 with a double and a single in the 4-1 victory. The 24-year-old will get a legitimate shot at the designated […]

Alec Bohm Collects Two Hits In Win Versus Nats

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm went 2-for-5 with an RBI in a win over the Nationals on Monday. Bohm has a solid .254 batting average, but he's not hitting for much power as he's slugging just .354. Part of the problem has been too many grounders as Bohm's 5.3-degree launch angle and 53% ground […]

Freddie Freeman Slashing .289/.393/.501 After Strong July

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was lagging in the batting average department in the early going this year. He was hitting just .235 by the end of May and he had a .261/.368/.474 slash line when the calendar turned to July. However, he went on to have his best all-around month at the plate […]

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. swatted a two-run homer during Monday's 5-2 extra-inning loss to the Indians on Monday.

DJ LeMahieu Returns To Lineup Monday

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (triceps) is back in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Orioles.

LeMahieu is 4-for-10 with an RBI in his career […]

Rhys Hoskins Out Of Phillies Lineup Again On Monday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (groin) was out of the lineup again on Monday as the team starts are four-game stretch visiting the Washington Nationals. Hoskins has not been in Philadelphia's lineup since July 29 because of a tweaked groin. Brad Miller will continue filling in at first base for Hoskins and is batting […]

Eli Morgan Recalled, Starting Versus Blue Jays

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Eli Morgan has been recalled to make the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. Morgan has struggled with a 7.47 ERA over 31 1/3 innings with the Indians this season. This isn't an ideal spot for Morgan against a strong Blue Jays lineup. He won't be a recommended streaming […]

Darin Ruf Plates Three Sunday, Heating Up

San Francisco Giants first baseman/outfielder Darin Ruf had another nice game at the plate in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Astros, going 3-for-4 with a single, a double, a two-run home run, three RBI, a strikeout, and a stolen base. The veteran has been hot since the All-Star break, slashing .310/.396/.619 with three HR and […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Exits Sunday Game Early

San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler said that first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (back) exited Sunday's game against the Astros early with lower back tightness. Wade Jr. had gone 0-for-3 with a walk prior to exiting. Hopefully, Wade Jr. will not have to miss significant time, as he has provided a consistent bat in the […]

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell was back in the lineup batting third after getting a breather Saturday, and he went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored against the Chicago Cubs.

Albert Pujols Drives In Three Runs

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Albert Pujols went 1-for-3 with a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's blowout victory versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. Pujols got the start with infielder Max Muncy getting the afternoon off.
