MLB 2024 | Soler's good performance against the Nats; Adolis breaks his hitless streak; Daysbel gets called up by the Braves; Yordan records a multi-hit game

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


 

Jorge Soler had a strong performance on Wednesday against the Nationals, going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, and an RBI.


In this game, Jorge Soler proved to be a challenge for the Nationals' pitchers, reaching base three times and hitting all three of his balls in play solidly. He, along with Michael Harris, provided the Braves with a promising opportunity for a rally in the sixth inning, hitting back-to-back doubles before Marcell Ozuna's strikeout ended the game. Despite a hot streak following his trade to Atlanta, Soler's performance has declined recently, with a .604 OPS in his last 15 games.



 

Adolis García ends hitless streak.


In Wednesday's 14-4 defeat against Arizona, Adolis García went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. His single in the fourth inning marked the end of a 17-at-bat hitless streak, bringing his batting average to just .189 in 10 games this month. Despite having 22 home runs and 11 stolen bases, García's offensive impact in 2024 has been diminished. Previously averaging 99 RBI and a .777 OPS over three seasons, he now has 74 RBI and a .672 OPS with 16 games remaining in the season.




 

RHP Daysbel Hernández has been called up by the Braves from Triple-A Gwinnett.


Due to the Braves having a bullpen filled with pitchers who cannot be sent down, Daysbel Hernández has had few chances, but he has performed well in the majors this season, allowing just two runs — one earned — in 11 innings. This call-up may be short-lived, as the Braves will have to include a fifth starter in the roster next week.


 

Miguel Vargas returned to the lineup on Wednesday.


After missing Tuesday's game in the series against Cleveland, Miguel Vargas was back in action. He played as the sixth batter and took on the third base position. Despite having a day off, his performance at the plate continued to struggle, reinforcing the Dodgers' decision to trade him. On Wednesday, Vargas went 0-for-4 with 2 strikeouts and managed to get one RBI. This hitless game extended his streak to 0-for-15 in the last 6 games, resulting in a September slash line of just .105/.150/.105 with the sole RBI from Wednesday's game. The Cuban player's overall stats for 2024 now stand at .163/.258/.277 with 4 home runs and 14 RBIs.


 

Yandy Díaz was not in the lineup on Wednesday.


Yandy Díaz received a standard day off on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. Barring any undisclosed injuries, he is expected to be back in action on Thursday as the team begins a new series against the Cleveland Guardians. Yandy has been performing well in September, hitting 11-for-32 (.344) with two home runs, a double, and six RBI in eight games.


 

The D-backs are optimistic about the quick return of Lourdes Gurriel Jr.


After departing the game on September 1 due to tightness in his left calf, Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has been practicing with the Trajekt pitching machine and is set to engage in some running activities on Thursday. Gurriel was placed on the 10-day injured list with his calf strain, with the designation being retroactive to September 2. Fortunately, both he and manager Torey Lovullo have indicated that the injury is not severe, and they are hopeful that Gurriel will be back in action after a minimal stint on the IL. As the team aims for another postseason berth in September, they are eager to have the 30-year-old back as their regular left fielder. Gurriel, who was named an All-Star for the first time in 2023, his debut season with the team, is currently batting .274/.316/.428 with 17 home runs, 70 RBIs, and seven stolen bases in 125 games.


 

Yordan Alvarez with another multi-hit game.


In Wednesday's defeat against Oakland, Yordan Alvarez recorded a 2-for-4 performance, scoring a run and striking out once. This marked his fifth multi-hit game of September and his 51st of the season. Through 136 games, the left-handed power hitter boasts a .313/.397/.569 slash line with 32 home runs, 81 runs, 80 RBIs, 7 stolen bases, 63 walks, and just 80 strikeouts.


 

Yulieski Gurriel was absent from the Royals lineup on Wednesday.


Yulieski Gurriel took a break on Wednesday, in his team's 4-3 loss to the Yankees in extra innings. Yulieski has been given a unique opportunity in 2024 with the Royals, who are postseason contenders in the American League. He experienced a decline after winning a Gold Glove Award and leading the AL in batting in 2021, but he might have the chance to participate in another postseason and add to his ring collection, which includes two World Series titles in 2017 and 2022 with the Astros.
