Adolis García achieves a season-high with four RBIs.
Adolis García went 3-for-5 with four RBIs and a double in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Orioles. Following his three RBIs in Monday's extra-innings loss to Baltimore, Adolis set a season high with four RBIs on Tuesday. The 32-year-old right fielder was batting just .208 as of May 28, but he has gradually improved since early June. Over his last 107 plate appearances, Adolis is slashing .278/.318/.443 with three home runs, seven doubles, 22 RBIs, and three stolen bases.
Randy Arozarena hits another home run.
In Tuesday's 6-3 defeat to the Royals, Randy Arozarena hit 2-for-4, including a solo home run. Arozarena has hit three home runs in his last two games. This marks his fourth consecutive game with multiple hits, as he experiences a successful period at the plate. The outfielder now has a .248/.360/.427 slash line, with 11 home runs, 38 RBIs, 43 runs scored, and 15 stolen bases across 83 games.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hits another home run on Tuesday.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk, and scored another run during Tuesday's 8-2 victory over the Giants. Gurriel extended Arizona's lead to 6-2 in the fifth inning. The outfielder has hit home runs in the last two games, ending a 15-game stretch without a homer. This season, he has accumulated 12 home runs, 44 RBIs, 29 runs scored, seven stolen bases, and a .722 OPS over 79 games, playing almost daily in left field.
Yandy Díaz did not get any hits on Tuesday.
Yandy Díaz did not get a hit on Tuesday as the Rays lost 4-3 to the A's in 10 innings. Although Yandy went 0-for-3, he reached base twice through walks. His current stats for the year are .288/.346/.464 with 13 home runs, 38 runs scored, and 47 RBIs. He finished June with an impressive .400/.469/.610 slash line, including 5 home runs and 13 RBIs.
Andy Pagés delivers another game with multiple hits.
Andy Pagés delivered a 2-for-4 performance, scoring a run and driving in two RBIs, in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the White Sox. This marked Pagés' second straight game with multiple hits and his 27th such game of the season. The young outfielder is having the best season of his career, leading Cuban players this year in batting average (.294), home runs (16), and RBIs (57).
Yordan Álvarez experiences a setback.
Yordan Álvarez was sidelined from all activities after experiencing renewed soreness in his hand during swings on Monday, as reported by Chandler Rome of The Athletic. Álvarez's fractured right hand has kept him on the injured list since early May. He appeared to be nearing a return, possibly as soon as this weekend, but this setback complicates the Astros' plans. The 28-year-old slugger is scheduled to see a specialist in the next few days, at which time the team will have more information about his status and how close he is to being activated.
Miguel Vargas did not get any hits on Tuesday.
Miguel Vargas extended his hitless streak to eleven at-bats after going 0-for-4 on Tuesday during the White Sox's 6-1 defeat against the Dodgers. Vargas struck out once. Following a strong May where the young infielder revitalized his season with a .263/.333/.566 slash line, 7 home runs, and 17 RBIs, Vargas has entered a slump, recording a .204/.295/.366 slash line in June. He continues to struggle significantly, hitting a mere .040/.143/.040 with only one hit in his last 25 at-bats, including no RBIs and 10 strikeouts.
Jorge Soler contributed to the Angels' victory over the Braves in Atlanta on Tuesday by going 1-for-2 with a walk and hitting a two-run double.
In the top of the eighth inning, the Angels took a 1-0 lead with an RBI double by Jo Adell. Soler then hit a two-run double, which appeared to secure the game at that point. It was an enjoyable evening for Soler, as he faced his former team in his first game back from the injured list. This season, the 33-year-old power hitter has a disappointing slash line of .209/.287/.356, with eight home runs and 28 RBIs.
Yanquiel Fernández's promotion has been officially announced.
On Tuesday, the Rockies officially called up Yanquiel Fernández from Triple-A Albuquerque, as reported by Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com. Fernández, who has been part of the 40-man roster since November 2023, is set to make his major-league debut upon entering a game. The 22-year-old has achieved a .284/.347/.502 batting line with 13 home runs over 271 plate appearances with Albuquerque this season. Although the left-handed hitter isn't in the lineup against Astros' lefty Colton Gordon on Tuesday, he is expected to get chances in the outfield against right-handed pitchers.
