1h ago

Profar went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a double, a walk and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Rockies.

Profar got his day going with a solo blast to right in the fifth to extend the Padres' lead to 3-1. He then followed that up with a double in the seventh and a walk in the eighth and scored both times. He now has six multi-hit efforts over his last 12 games and is slashing .319/.429/.681 with five homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs and an 8:8 BB:K over that span. For the year, the 31-year-old All-Star is slashing .300/.393/.491 with 19 homers, 71 RBI, 63 runs, five steals and a 54:68 BB:K in 458 plate appearances. He remains one of 13 qualified players who is currently hitting at least .300.

Padres' David Peralta: Goes deep Sunday

1h ago

Peralta went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer and a walk in Sunday's win over the Rockies.

Peralta broke the game open with a three-run blast off Justin Lawrence in the sixth to make it a 6-1 lead for the Padres. Peralta has logged RBI in consecutive games now and Sunday was just the fourth time this here he's posted a game with multiple RBI. It's been a slow year for the aging Peralta, who's now slashing just .233/.298/.342 with three homers, 14 RBI, 15 runs, a steal and a 9:27 BB:K in 131 plate appearances.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Goes deep in series finale

2h ago

Doyle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

Doyle was able to knot the game at one in the fourth inning with a solo home run off Matt Waldron on the first pitch he saw. It was his first long ball and first RBI of the month after he was awarded the player of the month for the National League in July. Doyle just needs one more home run to become the fifth player this season with at least 20 homers and 20 steals. He's currently slashing .266/.327/.471 with 19 homers, 55 RBI, 62 runs, 21 steals and a 35:115 BB:K in 441 plate appearances.

Guardians' Steven Kwan: Two steals in Sunday's loss

8h ago

Kwan went 2-for-3 with two walks, one RBI, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles.

Kwan is 5-for-14 with five walks and three steals over four contests to begin August. The outfielder had just two thefts over 25 games in July. He dealt with a hamstring injury earlier in the campaign, but he appears to be comfortable enough to up his impact on the basepaths moving forward. Kwan is slashing .333/.392/.482 with 11 home runs, nine steals, 32 RBI, 64 runs scored, 14 doubles and two triples over 85 contests this season.

Orioles' Anthony Santander: Records second steal

8h ago

Santander went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Guardians.

Santander hasn't done much with speed this year, but both of his stolen bases have come since the All-Star break. He's hitting .304 (21-for-69) over 17 contests in that span, which includes eight home runs and 17 RBI. The outfielder is at a .248/.313/.533 slash line for the year while adding 32 home runs, 75 RBI, 68 runs scored, 18 doubles and two triples over 108 games.

Royals' MJ Melendez: Plays hero off bench

9h ago

Melendez hit a three-run home run as a pinch hitter in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Tigers.

Melendez erased a two-run deficit when he took Shelby Miller deep in the ninth inning, and Hunter Harvey was able to close out the win for the Royals. While this was a positive moment, Melendez has been on the bench to begin three of Kansas City's four games in August. He has five homers over his last 12 contests, accounting for half of his 10 hits over 43 at-bats in that span. The outfielder is up to 13 long balls, 34 RBI, 29 runs scored, 15 doubles, two triples and two stolen bases through 310 plate appearances. If Melendez continues to lose playing time, Dairon Blanco or Garrett Hampson are options to fill larger roles.
