Texas Rangers first baseman Danny Santana (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Santana will get a routine day off to rest here. He's cooled off with the bat after hitting .391 in July, so maybe a day off will help him get his swing back. Scott […]

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Davis will miss his fourth game in a row and isn't expected to see much playing time down the stretch. Davis has sat out in nine of the last 14 games, so that likely […]

The 33-year-old is stuck in a 9-for-46 slump over the past month and is batting just .105 over the past week, so he will sit for the second time in three games. Carpenter's overall numbers […]

Rhys Hoskins Reaches Three Times In Win

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins doubled and walked twice in a win over the Red Sox Wednesday. The double was Hoskins' first extra-base hit since August 6, as the slugger has been mired in an extended slump. He's hitting just .176 in the second half and has the batted ball profile to match. Hoskins […]

Albert Pujols Trending Upwards

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols went 2-for-5 and drove in two more runs Wednesday against the Rangers. Pujols now has multiple hits in five of his last six games and is slashing .379/.438/.552 over his last seven starts with nine runs batted in.
