MLB 2024 | Adolis goes yard twice; Gurriel Jr. records several hits; Soler out of action; Arozarena fails to get a hit; Yuli flawless on Tuesday

Cuban Players News for the 2024 Major League Baseball season. A compilation of several sources


 

Adolis García had been struggling at the plate lately, but he broke out in a big way on Wednesday night at Fenway Park.


Adolis García went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs, helping the Rangers secure a 9-7 comeback victory over the Red Sox in a 10-inning game. This marked his first multi-homer game of the season. Since the All-Star break last month, García had only hit one home run in 23 games. However, in the past 16 games starting from July 27, the 31-year-old right fielder has been on fire, batting .283 with two home runs, seven RBI, and eight runs scored. He now has a total of 20 home runs this season and has been recently moved to the cleanup spot in the lineup by manager Bruce Bochy. With his recent performance, it wouldn't be surprising if García goes on a hot streak to finish off the year.



 

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. records multiple hits on Wednesday.


During Wednesday's game against the Rockies, D-backs outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. achieved a multi hit performance. The 30-year-old player batted 2-for-4, scoring two runs and striking out in an 11-4 victory. Gurriel boasts an decent .268 batting average with 14 home runs and 59 RBIs so far this season. He is just 25 RBIs shy of surpassing his own record of 84, which he set in 2021 while playing for Toronto.


 

Jorge Soler of the Braves will be sidelined on Thursday.


According to Manager Brian Snitker, Soler, who is dealing with a hamstring injury, will not participate in Thursday's game against the Giants, as reported by Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The injury occurred while he was running to first base during Wednesday's game, but the team is not overly concerned. However, Atlanta will err on the side of caution and rest him for a game. Soler, known for his powerful hitting, is set to undergo an MRI on Thursday to assess the extent of the injury and determine if he will need more time off. Prior to leaving the game, he recorded no hits in two at-bats and scored a run in a dominant victory for the Braves, with a final score of 13-2.


 

Orioles relief pitchers Yennier Cano and Cionel Pérez delivered a scoreless performance in Wednesday's win.


Yennier Cano secured his 27th hold of the year with one flawless inning, while Cionel Pérez notched his 17th hold by pitching a clean frame and recording a strikeout. These two pitchers play crucial roles in the Orioles bullpen and are expected to be key contributors in the team's performance during the 2024 postseason.


 

Randy Arozarena went hitless on Wednesday.


Randy Arozarena went 0-for-4 while batting third in the lineup during a 3-2 loss to the Tigers on Wednesday. Despite walking once, he also struck out twice. Arozarena was acquired by Seattle to boost their offense after falling from the top spot in the American League West. Even though he has been performing well since joining the Mariners on Jul 27, hitting .286 with a home run, 5 RBIs, 14 runs, and 12 walks, the team has struggled, going 5-5 in their last 10 games and trailing the resurgent Astros by 2 1/2 games.


 

Luis Robert and Miguel Vargas teamed up to produce two hits on Wednesday.


In a 10-2 defeat against the Yankees on Wednesday, Luis Robert and Miguel Vargas collectively recorded two hits. Luis Robert Jr. and Miguel Vargas went 2-for-8 during the game, with Robert striking out once and Vargas striking out twice. Both players are experiencing a challenging season, as Luis Robert has a batting line of .131/.159/.164 with no home runs, 3 RBIs, and 27 strikeouts in his last 15 games. Meanwhile, Vargas is batting .116/.240/.209 with one home run, 2 RBIs, 7 walks, and 16 strikeouts during that same period.


 

Andy Pagés was not in the Dodgers' lineup on Wednesday.


Kevin Kiermaier took over in center field, while Pagés remained on the bench, indicating a possible trend for the remainder of the season. For Pagés, the solution is straightforward: he must enhance his Chase (31.0), Whiff (27.0), Squared-Up (20.6), K (25.3), and BB (6.7) percentages, all of which are currently below par. In his debut MLB season, Pagés holds a batting line of .248/.307/.390 with 9 home runs and 35 RBIs.


 


Yuli Gurriel had an outstanding 4-for-4 outing, including a double, during his time with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.


During the current season, the 40-year-old Gurriel has been diligently working in Triple-A, holding a solid batting average of .298/.375/.493 with 11 homers and 10 stolen bases for Gwinnett. Given his remarkable display, the Braves may contemplate retaining him as a pinch-hitting option in September, particularly due to their underutilized bench.
