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


 

Raisel Iglesias earned a save against the Rockies on Wednesday, striking out two batters and walking one in a single inning of work.


During his one scoreless inning, Raisel Iglesias secured the save with a three-run lead in the ninth inning, facing minimal trouble as he issued only one walk with two outs and retired the side on just 15 pitches. This marked his 30th save of the season, the fifth time he has achieved this milestone in his career. With a chance to match or surpass his career-best 34 saves, set in both 2019 and 2021, Iglesias continues to be a reliable veteran closer.



 

Yandy Díaz contributed significantly to the Rays' 9-4 victory over the Twins on Wednesday by going 2-for-4 with a two-run home run.


In the win against the Twins, Yandy Díaz went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run homer on Wednesday. His home run off Louie Varland in the fourth inning marked the culmination of an eight-run outburst by the Rays' offense. This was Yandy's 13th home run this season, the third in his last six games, as he heats up towards the end of the season. While it has been a challenging year for the 33-year-old slugger, he is finishing strong, hitting .333 (18-for-54) with three home runs in his last 15 games. Since the start of August, in 28 games, the veteran has a slash line of .294/.362/.461 with 12 RBI and 12 runs.




 

Adolis García's key Performance against the Yankees.


In the victory over the Yankees, Adolis García contributed significantly by going 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI. His double was particularly important as it helped extend the Rangers' lead, even though he did not score himself. Despite a batting average of just .222 this season, Adolis remains a valuable player in the lineup due to his ability to drive in runs (69 RBI) and hit for power (21 HRs). Although his strikeout rate is high at 0.269, and his wOBA stands at .292, indicating limited offensive productivity overall, his performance continues to be crucial for the team.




 

Luis Robert Jr. departed Wednesday's match against the Orioles due to tightness in his hamstring.


The injury to Robert Jr.'s hamstring occurred as he was running down the line during a double play. The outfielder is expected to undergo further assessment, but it is unlikely that he will return to the lineup in the upcoming days, particularly since the White Sox have no playoff aspirations in 2024. In the game, he managed to go 2-for-4 with a double, a run, and an RBI. Prior to the injury, Robert had been struggling, going 4-for-31 after an impressive .381/.385/.548 performance in the early part of August. Despite his disappointing season, the 27-year-old is anticipated to bounce back in 2025.



 

Bryan Ramos has been called up by the White Sox from Triple-A Charlotte.


Bryan Ramos was briefly with the White Sox last week. It remains to be seen if this call-up will be extended, especially with the potential return of Yoán Moncada. The White Sox's handling of their 22-year-old prospect has raised some questions. Ramos last played in a major-league game in late May, but he may get a chance to start at third base if Miguel Vargas remains sidelined.


 

Miguel Vargas was absent from the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles due to a cut above his left eye.


Following his early departure from Tuesday's game, Vargas continued to be sidelined for Wednesday's match. Lenyn Sosa took over the third base position in Vargas' absence.


 

Yulieski Gurriel was out of the Royals' starting lineup Wednesday.


Yuli Gurriel was absent from the Royals' starting lineup on Wednesday against the Guardians due to tightness in his right hamstring, which forced him to exit Monday's game in the eighth inning. Despite not being placed on the injured list at this stage of the season following his recent addition to the team, he has been sidelined as a precaution to prevent aggravating the issue. On Wednesday, he made an appearance as a pinch hitter but went 0-for-1 with a strikeout. Since joining the Royals on September 1, Gurriel has recorded 2 hits in 6 at-bats, including a double and an RBI.
