  • Sonny Gray BOS SP
    Red Sox's Sonny Gray: Dominant despite All-Star snub
    7m ago

    Gray (10-1) earned the win over the Angels on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over six innings.

    Gray gave up a solo homer to Josh Lowe in the second inning but otherwise kept the Angels off the scoreboard. The veteran righty needed just 70 pitches (48 strikes) to complete six frames and record his seventh straight quality start. Gray has been filthy during that stretch, posting a 1.97 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 48:12 K:BB across 45.2 innings. He was somewhat shockingly omitted from the announcement of All-Star teams Saturday, but that shouldn't lessen the impact of his performance so far on what has been a disappointing first half for Boston. Among qualified AL hurlers, Gray ranks second in ERA (2.61), 10th in WHIP (1.10) and first in wins (10).

    Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Posts big performance in loss
    15m ago

    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.

    Hicks went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

    Hicks has come back hot after a minimum stay on the injured list due to a back issue. He's gone 9-for-23 (.391) since his return while making starts at catcher (one), first base (two) and designated hitter (two) in that span. He's had a consistent enough bat to be a near-everyday presence in the lineup for the Marlins. Hicks is hitting .288 with an .830 OPS, 13 home runs, 54 RBI, 48 runs scored, seven doubles, one triple and a stolen base over 78 contests. He continues to primarily bat out of the leadoff spot versus right-handed pitchers.

For the season, he's batting .255 with a .754 OPS, 23 RBI, 23 runs scored, five doubles and no stolen bases over 155 plate appearances. Mack continues to share the catching duties with Liam Hicks and Brian Navarreto, with Mack getting about half of the time behind the dish.

    Lopez went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and a third RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

    This was Lopez's eighth multi-hit effort in his last 11 games. In that span, he has gone 19-for-48 (.396) with three homers, four doubles, two triples and seven RBI. The shortstop's recent consistency at the plate has him up to a .341 average and .877 OPS on the year, and he's added eight homers, 40 RBI, 57 runs scored, 24 doubles and five triples through 88 contests. He's been improving as the season progresses, though he's unlikely to ever be a significant source of power production.

    Eldridge went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and an additional RBI in a 6-4 win over Colorado on Saturday.

    Eldridge doubled home a run in the first inning and added a 458-foot solo homer in the third. The long ball was his first in 13 games, a stretch during which he's batted just .188 with three RBI. That's taken some steam out of Eldridge's strong start to the season, but he's still slashing a solid .280/.368/.484 with seven homers and 19 RBI over 46 contests while playing nearly every day.

    Raleigh smacked a three-run shot in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the Mariners in double digits.

As such, Robinson will head back to Triple-A, and Eliezer Alfonzo will get his first taste of the majors.

He's thus getting his first look in the majors, and he's expected to serve as the backup behind the plate to Dalton Rushing while Will Smith (neck) remains on the IL. Chuckie Robinson, who had been working as the backup catcher, was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

    Garcia went 2-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 9-5 win over the Pirates.

    The Nationals launched five homers in total on the night, with Garcia and Daylen Lile both going yard twice. Garcia's blasts came in the first inning off Mitch Keller and the seventh off Isaac Mattson, and the 26-year-old infielder has slugged a stunning nine home runs in last last 13 games, a surge that has seen him produce a .415/.478/1.148 slash line with 12 runs and 17 RBI. Garcia's 18 homers on the season in just 82 games have already tied his career high, and his 62 RBI tie him for third in the majors behind only the Athletics' Nick Kurtz (66) and the Cardinals' Jordan Walker (63).

    Vargas went 3-for-5 with one RBI in Friday's 7-4 extra-innings loss to the Brewers.

    Vargas started at first base against left-hander Kyle Harrison and delivered a good game. While Vargas remains a regular in the lineup versus southpaws, his playing time versus right-handers has been limited lately. He hit just .100 over 23 games in June to lose out on a starting role and will likely be limited to utility duties as long as Arizona's infield is mostly healthy. Vargas is hitting .263 with a .709 OPS, seven home runs, 45 RBI, 38 runs scored and a stolen base over 273 plate appearances this season.

    Bauers has a pair of three-hit efforts over his last four games. The first baseman is hitting .265 (13-for-49) over his last 15 contests, but he's also struck out 21 times in that span, as he's started to swing and miss more frequently. Overall, he's hitting .269 with an .864 OPS, 15 home runs, 52 RBI, 50 runs scored, 13 doubles, one triple and five stolen bases across 77 contests as a regular in the lineup for much of the campaign.

    Angels' Mike Trout: Could return Tuesday
    5h ago

    Trout (hamstring) took batting practice on the field Saturday and said he could return to the Angels' lineup as soon as Tuesday versus Texas, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Trout has been sidelined since June 17 due to a right hamstring strain. He recently ramped up his on-field activities and said Saturday that he ran at about 90 percent with "no pain." All signs point to Trout being activated next week, perhaps as soon as Tuesday (following Monday's team day off). Trout was also named an American League All-Star starter Saturday, and he'll presumably be able to appear in that game as long as he doesn't experience any setbacks moving forward.

    Red Sox's Sonny Gray: Dominant despite All-Star snub
    7m ago

    Gray (10-1) earned the win over the Angels on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over six innings.

    Gray gave up a solo homer to Josh Lowe in the second inning but otherwise kept the Angels off the scoreboard. The veteran righty needed just 70 pitches (48 strikes) to complete six frames and record his seventh straight quality start. Gray has been filthy during that stretch, posting a 1.97 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 48:12 K:BB across 45.2 innings. He was somewhat shockingly omitted from the announcement of All-Star teams Saturday, but that shouldn't lessen the impact of his performance so far on what has been a disappointing first half for Boston. Among qualified AL hurlers, Gray ranks second in ERA (2.61), 10th in WHIP (1.10) and first in wins (10).

    Rockies' Sean Sullivan: Struggles again in return
    25m ago

    Sullivan (0-3) took the loss against San Francisco on Saturday, allowing six runs on 12 hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 5.2 innings.

    Sullivan was brought up from Triple-A on Saturday to make the start after Tomoyuki Sugano landed on the IL due to back spasms. Sullivan had posted an 8.64 ERA across four starts prior to being recalled, and that number got even worse after Saturday's outing. The left-hander was knocked around for a career-worst 12 hits, eight of which (seven doubles and a home run) went for extra bases. Sullivan has given up five or more runs in over half of his starts so far and has yet to notch an MLB victory. Still, he could make at least one more start in place of Sugano given Colorado's lack of other rotation options.

    27m ago

    Alcantara (10-4) allowed one run on six hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out eight over eight innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Saturday.

    Alcantara was in workhorse mode, throwing 70 of 100 pitches for strikes. This was his fourth start of at least eight innings this season. He's been superb lately, winning seven straight starts while allowing 18 runs (16 earned) over his last 48.1 innings. Alcantara is at a 4.00 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 92:33 K:BB through 123.2 innings over 19 starts this season. The right-hander is projected to make his next start at home versus the Guardians.

    Civale (5-6) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Marlins on Saturday.

    Civale has now lost five straight starts, including all four since he returned from shoulder tendinitis. The right-hander has given up 16 runs (15 earned) over 16.2 innings since his return, though the Marlins represented his toughest opponent in that stretch. On the year, he has a 5.10 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 54:22 K:BB through 72.1 innings over 15 starts. He's projected to make his next start on the road versus the White Sox.

    Ray (8-6) earned the win over Colorado on Saturday, completing six innings and allowing three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four batters.

    All of the runs Ray allowed came on a Cole Carrigg three-run homer in the first inning. The lefty hurler bounced back nicely after that rough first frame, retiring 14 of the final 18 batters he faced. Ray registered his fourth consecutive win and quality start, though this was his least effective outing during that stretch. He's now 8-6 on the campaign with a 3.45 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 86:46 K:BB over 101.2 innings spanning 18 appearances.

    Kelly (6-8) allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings to earn the win over the Brewers on Saturday.

    Kelly lost all five of his starts in June, but he was able to get back in the win column in his first outing in July. The veteran right-hander limited the damage to a two-run home run by Christian Yelich in the fifth inning. Kelly is now at a 5.71 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 53:35 K:BB across 86.2 innings through 15 starts on the year. Kelly had a strong May, so it's possible he'll be able build momentum from this outing. His next start is projected to be on the road in San Diego.

    Giants' Caleb Kilian: Picks up another save
    32m ago

    Kilian notched a save against the Rockies on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks while striking out two batters over one inning.

    Kilian inherited a relatively easy opportunity, taking the ball with San Francisco up three runs in the ninth inning. The right-hander didn't have the smoothest outing, as a pair of singles resulted in a Rockies run and brought the tying run to the plate. However, Kilian was able to strike out Troy Johnston to extinguish the threat and send the Giants home with a win. Kilian recorded his fourth save over his past five outings and increased his total to eight saves on the campaign. It hasn't been seamless for Kilian -- he's given up six earned runs over that five-appearance stretch -- but he seems to have a fairly solid hold on San Francisco's closer role.

    O'Brien secured the save Saturday against the Cubs, allowing no runs on no hits and one walk in the ninth innings. He struck out one.

    That makes it nine straight successful conversions in save situations for O'Brien, who's been pretty reliable as the St. Louis closer. Through 36.1 innings, the 31-year-old right-hander has a 3.72 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB with 22 saves in 26 opportunities. O'Brien now stands alone atop the National League for the lead in saves after entering Saturday in a three-way tie with Jhoan Duran and Mason Miller.

    Sewald allowed a run on one hit and struck out two over one inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

    Sewald had another shaky appearance, but he was able to uphold the lead. He's given up seven runs over his last 5.2 innings, but he's converted all three of his save chances in that span. On the season, the closer has a 4.50 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 35:8 K:BB through 32 innings while converting 20 of 21 save opportunities.

    Mets' Sean Manaea: Let down by defense in loss
    1h ago

    Manaea (1-4) took the loss Saturday against Atlanta, allowing six runs on six hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out four.

    Manaea might have been able to push for a quality start Saturday if not for a key third-inning dropped ball by Tyrone Taylor in the outfield, which allowed Atlanta to score three runs. The 34-year-old southpaw tossed 38 pitches in the frame en route to reaching a season-high 108 on the evening, but the six runs given up were still a season worst. Manaea is set to take a 5.16 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 68:23 K:BB over 68 innings into a fairly soft home matchup against the Royals his next time out.

    6h ago

    Quantrill (3-1) took the loss Saturday, giving up three runs (two earned) on three hits and a walk over five innings as the Rangers were blanked 3-0 by the Tigers. He struck out two.

    The right-hander didn't pitch poorly, tossing 42 of 66 pitches for strikes before exiting the mound, but Texas' hitters managed only three hits -- giving Quantrill no margin for error after Riley Greene swatted a two-run homer in the first inning. The workload was Quantrill's largest of the year, both in terms of innings and pitch count, and through three starts since moving into the rotation he's produced a 2.45 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB over 11 innings. He lines up to get one more start before the All-Star break, at home next weekend against the Astros.

    Eldridge went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and an additional RBI in a 6-4 win over Colorado on Saturday.

    Eldridge doubled home a run in the first inning and added a 458-foot solo homer in the third. The long ball was his first in 13 games, a stretch during which he's batted just .188 with three RBI. That's taken some steam out of Eldridge's strong start to the season, but he's still slashing a solid .280/.368/.484 with seven homers and 19 RBI over 46 contests while playing nearly every day.

    41m ago

    Del Castillo went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

    This was his first homer since May 26 versus the Giants. In the 16 games in between long balls, the catcher batted just .158 (6-for-38) while receding into a backup role. He's hitting .185 with a .555 OPS, five homers, 23 RBI, 12 runs scored, four doubles and no stolen bases over 164 plate appearances this season. Del Castillo's playing time could dwindle even more once James McCann (quadriceps) returns from the injured list, which is expected to happen as soon as Monday.

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Ohtani (bicep) is feeling "considerably better" and could be back in the lineup Sunday, and Roberts didn't rule Ohtani out of being available off the bench Saturday, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

    Ohtani isn't starting Saturday after reporting some discomfort in his right bicep Friday. However, there hasn't been any indication that the injury is serious, and Roberts' words Saturday further suggest that it's just a minor issue. Andy Pages is getting a turn at DH with Ohtani sidelined Saturday.
