Jonathan Villar Drives In Two With Three Hits Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/shortstop Jonathan Villar had a nice day at the plate in Wednesday's 10-5 loss to the Padres. Villar went 3-for-4 with two singles, a two-run home run (his 10th of the season), and a strikeout. Unfortunately, the 28-year-old has had a very poor June, posting a .213 batting average with three HR, […]

Cesar Hernandez Collects Two More Hits

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez had two more hits Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI. Hernandez now has a nine-game hit streak with seven of those games being multi-hit games. Hernandez is now batting .286 on the season with a .336 on-base percentage. The switch-hitting infielder won't provide much power but […]

Keston Hiura Extends Triple-A Hit Streak To Eight Games

Milwaukee Brewers second base prospect Keston Hiura extended his hitting streak to eight games for Triple-A San Antonio Wednesday night. Hiura has a .412 on-base percentage and is slugging .692 in Triple-A yet can't seem to get another shot with the Big League club after being sent down on June 3. Hiura is arguably the […]

Marwin Gonzalez Resumes Running

Minnesota Twins super-utility man Marwin Gonzalez (hamstring) tested out his strained right hamstring on Tuesday by running at 70 percent. He also took ground balls before the game. “It felt good. I didn’t feel anything. I feel 100 percent taking ground balls. The running, I feel a little bit tight still, but nothing bad,” Gonzalez […]

Ketel Marte Remains Scorching Hot

Although he did not start on Wednesday, Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte stayed hot at the plate with a base hit in his lone pinch-hit appearance. Marte is going through a ridiculous stretch that has seen him go 22-for-34 at the dish, while raising his batting average to .316 in the process. The young […]

Garrett Hampson To Be Regular With Brendan Rodgers On IL

The Colorado Rockies placed shortstop Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a right shoulder impingement. Rodgers has been dealing with inflammation and some tendinitis since he made an awkward throw to first base last Saturday. With Trevor Story also sidelined, Garrett Hampson should see most of the time at the […]

Yoan Moncada Exits Early On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada exited Wednesday’s contest in the top of the first inning. Moncada was hit in the knee by Chris Sale and stayed in the game initially. After going from first to third during the teams next at bat, Moncada exited. More should be known on Moncada’s status as the […]

Eric Sogard Takes A Seat Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman/designated hitter Eric Sogard is out of the lineup for Wednesday's matchup against the New York Yankees. Cavan Biggio plays second base and takes Sogard's usual leadoff spot, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the designated hitter batting second, and Brandon Drury is in at third base batting eighth. Of the three, Guerrero […]

Dee Gordon Busts Slump With A Pair Of Hits

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and a run scored in the team's 8-3 win over the Brewers. He's now had back-to-back multi-hit games as he's slowed down his offense considerably since returning from a wrist injury on June 11. The biggest concern is the fact that he has […]

Ozzie Albies Hits Go-Ahead Home Run To Beat Cubs

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies was 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk during a 3-2 win over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. Albies has rediscovered his power stroke in June with five HRs, after hitting a single HR during May. The 22-year-old is slashing .285/.347/.468 on the season with 12 HR, […]

Ketel Marte Not Yet Cleared For The Outfield

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman/outfielder Ketel Marte (groin) is being eased back into action and he has only been cleared to play in the infield so far. Manager Torey Lovullo is not yet positive when Marte will be able to play the more strenuous position of center field. However, with the return of first baseman/third baseman […]

Kike Hernandez Cranks His Sixth Leadoff Home Run

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman/outfielder Kike Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 road win against the Arizona Diamondbacks. His blast was a leadoff homer, the sixth of his career, and it came off of LHP Robbie Ray. The homer was on an 0-2 pitch, and is his fourth homer in […]
