Cuban Players News for the 2024 Major League Baseball season. A compilation of several sources


 

Adolis García delivered the winning run.


Adolis García hit a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Rangers, finishing 1-for-4 in the game. After taking a break for mental rest on Sunday, García came back strong on Tuesday by delivering the decisive hit with his eighth-inning homer. Despite a slow start in July, going 4-for-27 (.148), he managed to hit three extra-base hits. His current season stats stand at a .215/.279/.417 slash line with 17 home runs, 45 RBIs, 47 runs, and seven stolen bases in 87 games.




 

On Tuesday, Randy Arozarena recorded a double, a walk, a run scored, and a stolen base, going 1-for-3 in the game against the Yankees.


Randy Arozarena has faced notable challenges for extended periods this season, holding a .202 average and a .674 OPS over 359 plate appearances. Yet, starting from June 1, he has shown improvement by batting .286 with a .868 OPS in 32 games. Moreover, Arozarena's enhanced on-base skills have led to an increase in stolen bases, with him successfully stealing five bags in six attempts in his recent 17 games.




 

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. got a hit on Tuesday.


Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went 1-for-3 against the Braves on Tuesday. In his last 10 games Gurriel Jr. has a slugging percentage of .581 and three home runs. He is set to face RHP Charlie Morton on Wednesday. Overall, Gurriel is hitting .269 with 15 doubles, a triple, 13 home runs and 14 walks, and will look to extend his seven-game hitting streak. He's batting .286 with one homer over the course of those seven games.


 

Yordan Alvarez returned to action on Tuesday.


Yordan Alvarez, the Houston Astros outfielder and designated hitter, returned to the lineup on Tuesday against the Miami Marlins and pitcher Trevor Rogers. Alvarez, who had left Saturday's game prematurely due to a pitch hitting his right knee, took on the role of designated hitter and batted third. Despite not playing on Sunday, the 27-year-old All-Star showed a quick recovery following a rest day on Monday. In the game on Tuesday, he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts.


 

On Tuesday, Luis Robert Jr. made a comeback to the White Sox's lineup.


The White Sox had Luis Robert Jr. in the starting lineup on Tuesday, but the game was halted because of rain. Luis Robert has a batting average of .224 this season, along with 10 home runs, 19 RBI, and seven stolen bases.


 

Jorge Soler was scratched from lineup.


According to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, Jorge Soler was removed from the Giants' lineup for Tuesday's game against Toronto because of an illness. Although Soler was an option from the bench, he refrained from participating in the game. The experienced hitter has a batting average of .224 (64-for-286) with 10 home runs, 32 RBIs, and 45 runs scored in his debut season with the Giants.


 

Yosver Zulueta optioned to Triple-A.


The Reds have optioned Yosver Zulueta to Triple-A Louisville. Zulueta will head back to the minors in a corresponding move for Nick Lodolo returning from the injured list. He will remain a depth option for the Reds in Louisville.


 

Miguel Vargas went hitless Tuesday.


Miguel Vargas went 0-for-4 with a strikeout on Tuesday's 10-1 loss to the Phillies. The 24-year-old has been productive when given the opportunity this season, slashing .294/.351/.549 with three homers, four doubles, nine RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base over 57 plate appearances. Nevertheless, despite hitting a crucial home run in the eighth inning to put Los Angeles ahead 4-3 against the Brewers on Saturday, he has struggled since then, going 0-for-8 with three strikeouts. Vargas has not been a regular starter, having only been in the lineup for three games out of Los Angeles' last 10 matches.
