Yennier Cano charged with loss.
Yennier Cano took the loss Tuesday during the Mets' 7-6 10-inning victory over the Orioles. Cano pitched in the tenth inning and was responsible for the decisive run, after failing to prevent the runner inherited at second base due to the tiebreak from scoring on a single by Juan Soto. He allowed two hits in the inning, walked one, and struck out one. It is Cano's fifth loss of the season and his first since May 19 against the Brewers.
Yoán Moncada was hitless in return to lineup.
Yoán Moncada was activated yesterday and went 0-for-4 on Tuesday versus the Rangers in his return to the lineup. Starting at third base and batting sixth, Moncada was playing in his first game for the Angels in more than a month after battling right knee inflammation.
Néstor Cortés persists with rehab assignment.
Néstor Cortés is set to proceed with his rehab assignment on Thursday with High-A Wisconsin, as reported by Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com. Last week, the experienced left-hander pitched three scoreless innings in his initial rehab appearance with Triple-A Nashville. On Thursday, he'll aim to reach approximately 65 pitches. Cortés is expected to have another rehab start before possibly rejoining Milwaukee's rotation soon after the All-Star break.
Yandy Díaz contributed with a hit.
Yandy Díaz recorded a hit in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Tigers, going 1-for-4. This marked his third straight game with a hit, and he's successfully hit in five of the seven games played in July. Díaz is enjoying an impressive season, boasting an expected batting average (xBA) of .300 and an expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA) of .370. His current slash line stands at .288/.343/.467, with 14 home runs and 52 RBIs.
Miguel Vargas went hitless.
In a game shortened to six innings due to rain, the Blue Jays defeated the White Sox 6-1. Miguel Vargas went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in the game. This performance contributed to a difficult July for Vargas, who has a slash line of .111/.143/.148 for the month, with no home runs or RBIs.
Orlando Ribalta is beginning a rehab assignment.
According to Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com, the Nationals assigned Orlando Ribalta to Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday to start a rehab assignment. Ribalta has been out since mid-April due to a right biceps strain but has now been approved to participate in rehab games after a significant hiatus. Considering the duration of his absence, Ribalta will probably need an extended rehab assignment before he can be considered for removal from the 15-day injured list.
The Angels have sent RHP Víctor Mederos to Triple-A Salt Lake.
Víctor Mederos was with the team for about 24 hours before being sent out prior to Tuesday’s game against the Rangers to create space for a new relief pitcher. The 24-year-old right-hander has appeared in two relief games in the major leagues this season.
Andy Pagés struggles continue.
Andy Pagés had another game without a hit during the Dodgers' 3-1 defeat to the Brewers on Tuesday. Playing right field and batting cleanup, Pagés went 0-for-4 and struck out twice. This game increased his streak of hitless at-bats to 11.
Jorge Soler had a day off on Tuesday.
Jorge Soler was not included in Tuesday's lineup against the Rangers. After returning from the IL, Soler has gone 4-for-24 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored over seven games, leading to his benching on Tuesday.
Randy Arozarena hitless on Tuesday.
In a 10-3 loss to the Yankees on Tuesday, Randy Arozarena went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. Arozarena has been on fire over the last 15 games, hitting .293/.328/.621 with six home runs and 11 RBIs. He has improved his season to include 14 HRs, 42 RBIs, and a .246/.351/.441 slash line.
Yordan Álvarez has not started hitting again.
Yordan Álvarez is still not hitting after receiving injections last week to alleviate persistent pain in his right hand, which is unrelated to the hand fracture he has been recovering from. The Astros are expected to provide a clearer timetable for his return sometime after next week’s All-Star Game.
The White Sox have reinstated OF Luis Robert Jr. from the 10-day injured list.
Luis Robert Jr. was sidelined for just under two weeks due to a hamstring strain, and now he has slightly over two weeks to attract the attention of contenders before a likely trade later this month. On Tuesday, he recorded one hit in two at-bats. Overall, his season has been underwhelming, with a slash line of .187/.272/.315, 8 home runs, and 32 RBIs.
