Cuban Players News for the 2025 Major League Baseball season. A compilation of several sources.
Andy Pagés hits his 26th home run.
Andy Pagés went 1-for-5, hitting a two-run home run, in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-innings victory over the Diamondbacks. Pagés gave Los Angeles a 3-1 advantage in the fourth inning with a two-run shot to left-center field. This was his 26th home run of the season, twice the number he hit as a rookie last year and just one short of matching Randy Arozarena for the highest among Cuban players this year. Pagés also boasts 84 RBIs - leading all Cuban players in 2025 - , 14 stolen bases, and a .276/.316/.465 slash line over 152 games, establishing himself as a dependable everyday outfielder for the Dodgers.
Yennier Cano pitched a relief appearance without allowing any runs.
Yennier Cano delivered a scoreless performance in the Orioles' 6-2 defeat against the Rays on Wednesday. Cano pitched 1 1/3 flawless innings, recording one strikeout. This marked the Cuban's 64th start of 2025, helping him reduce his ERA to 4.89 for the season. He holds a 3-7 record with two saves over 57 innings, maintaining a 52:23 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
Randy Arozarena recorded a hit on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, Randy Arozarena went 1-for-4 with a sacrifice fly, as the Mariners defeated the Rockies 9-2, securing their first AL West division title in 24 years. Arozarena contributed an RBI and struck out three times during the game. He has enjoyed a solid season with a .233/.330/.424 slash line, accumulating 139 hits, and is still pursuing his first 30-30 season, currently having 27 home runs and 28 steals.
Adolis García was absent from the starting lineup on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, Adolis García was not included in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Twins. Adolis rejoined the lineup on Tuesday after being sidelined for the previous two games because of a persistent quad problem. He was available as a substitute for Wednesday's game and came in as a pinch hitter, reaching base with a walk.
Yordan Álvarez has not yet returned to baseball activities.
It seems increasingly unlikely that Yordan Álvarez will be ready for the playoffs starting next week, assuming the Astros qualify. The 28-year-old power hitter will require significant time to prepare as he recovers from a severe left ankle sprain, making it improbable that he will be cleared to return soon.
Yandy Díaz was not included in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
With Tampa Bay's playoff aspirations officially ended, Yandy Díaz earned a well-deserved rest. The 34-year-old veteran contributed significantly this season, posting an impressive .301/.366/.485 slash line, hitting a career-high 25 home runs, driving in 83 runs, and stealing three bases over 147 games.
