Cuban Players News for the 2025 Major League Baseball season. A compilation of several sources.
Adrián Morejón credited with his second save.
With Robert Suarez serving a two-game suspension, Adrian Morejón delivered a flawless ninth inning for his second save on Wednesday against the Nationals. The Padres chose not to use Jason Adam after he threw 27 pitches on Tuesday, so Morejón, who pitched two innings yesterday with only 13 pitches, took the ninth inning after Jonathan Estrada completed a perfect eighth. Morejón has been utilized frequently recently, appearing in 13 of the Padres' 24 games this month, yet he continues to excel. He hasn't given up an earned run since May 17, allowing only one unearned run over his last 15.2 innings. During this time, he's given up three hits and struck out 17 batters. His ERA has decreased to 2.04 with a 0.82 WHIP and a 33:6 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 35.1 innings this season.
Randy Arozarena's productive month persists despite the loss.
In Wednesday's 2-0 defeat against the Twins, Randy Arozarena had one hit in three at-bats and also drew a walk. Arozarena has extended his on-base streak to seven games, maintaining his impressive performance this month. In 81 at-bats during June, the quick outfielder is hitting .284 with an .805 OPS, recording one home run, eight doubles, eight RBIs, and five stolen bases. He has safely reached base in 17 of these 22 games.
Andy Pagés records two hits in victory against Rockies.
Andy Pagés played a key role in the Dodgers' 8-1 win against the Rockies by securing two hits and an RBI. In this decisive victory, Andy Pagés went 2-for-4 and drove in a run. This game continued his strong performance in June, during which he is batting .346 with five home runs and 16 RBIs. For the 2025 season, Pagés boasts a slash line of .294/.845/.514 over 76 games. His 16 home runs and 53 RBIs are the highest among Cuban players this year.
Miguel Vargas hitless again.
Miguel Vargas extended his consecutive hitless streak to 11 in the White Sox 7-3 win over the D-backs on Wednesday. Vargas went 0-for-3 in the game with a walk and a run scored. His bad streak has seen him slash .111/200/.222 with just three hits, two RBIs, and six strikeouts in his last seven games.
Yandy Díaz extends his hitting streak to 15 games.
Yandy Díaz extended his hitting streak to 15 games—the longest in the Majors—on Wednesday, following a 1-for-3 performance in the Rays' 3-0 victory over the Royals. He also drew a walk. Since his streak began on June 8, Yandy has recorded 11 multi-hit games and boasts a slash line of .476/.529/.762, with 4 home runs, 12 runs scored, 10 RBIs, 5 walks, and 6 strikeouts over 15 games.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. adds one RBI.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. added an RBI on Wednesday afternoon during the D-backs' 7-3 loss to the White Sox. Gurriel had a 4-1 performance, towing his 41st run of the season and is on his way to surpassing his personal mark for RBIs in a year (84) set in 2021 with Toronto. He is slashing .257/.303/.420 in 2025 with 10 home runs.
Adolis García went hitless on Wednesday.
Adolis García went hitless in the Rangers' 7-0 win over the Orioles. Adolis struck out twice and had a sacrifice fly adding a RBI, his 39th of the year. Adolis has demonstrated a resurgence in the 2025 season, which had previously seen him struggling. Evidence of this turnaround is his performance in June, during which the Cuban player is hitting .288/.341/.452 with 8 extra-base hits, 12 RBIs, and 10 runs scored.
Luis Robert Jr. is considered day-to-day due to soreness in his left hamstring.
White Sox manager Will Venable informed reporters that Luis Robert Jr. is still being evaluated, but he believes Robert is in a decent position. The 27-year-old center fielder is expected to benefit from Thursday's day off. An update on his status is anticipated before Friday's series opener against the Giants.
