Sean Doolittle - R - Athletics

Sean Doolittle got four outs for his 14th save on Sunday, closing out a win over the Mariners.

Doolittle entered with two runners on and two outs in the eighth inning, getting Kyle Seager to pop out to end the threat. He worked a perfect ninth for his 14th save. The lefty has a 2.89 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 63/2 K/BB ratio over 43 2/3 innings this year, and he enters the second half firmly entrenched as the A's closer.
Jul 13 - 9:15 PM
Chris Young - S - Mariners

Chris Young allowed three runs over six innings in a loss to the A's on Sunday.

After racking up 14 strikeouts in his previous two starts, Young struck out just two on Sunday. Even with the loss, it's been a good first half for the 35-year-old. Young enters the second half 8-6 with a 3.15 ERA and 1.10 WHIP.
Jul 13 - 9:07 PM
Yoenis Cespedes - OF - Athletics

Yoenis Cespedes went 0-for-4 against the Mariners on Sunday.

Cespedes goes into the All-Star break on a 3-for-45 slide that's seen his overall line fall to .246/.299/.442. It's a disappointing development after a month of June in which he hit .324/.373/.491. He's shown the good and bad he has to offer, and owners just have to hope it's more good than bad in the second half.
Jul 13 - 9:04 PM
Mike Trout - OF - Angels

Mike Trout went 2-for-4 with two doubles and four RBI as the Angels beat the Rangers 10-7 on Sunday.

Trout knocked a three-run double in the second inning before tacking on an RBI double in the fourth. It's been another remarkable first half for the 22-year-old, who's among the American League leaders in most every offensive category. He'll continue to be the most valuable fantasy player in the game when the second half starts up Friday.
Jul 13 - 8:54 PM
Alex Rios - OF - Rangers

Alex Rios went 2-for-3 with a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's loss to the Angels.

Rios delivered an RBI sacrifice fly in the first and a two-run double in the third inning, giving him 42 RBI on the year. The outfielder has been one of the lone bright spots in what's been a forgettable year for the Rangers. Rios is hitting .305/.333/.440 with 16 steals and 41 runs scored heading into the All-Star break.
Jul 13 - 8:45 PM
Mike O'Neill - OF - Cardinals

Cardinals sent OF Mike O'Neill outright to Double-A Springfield.

O'Neill cleared waivers after being designated for assignment. The 26-year-old will continue to function as organizational depth in the outfield for the Cardinals.
Jul 13 - 8:42 PM
Howie Kendrick - 2B - Angels

Howie Kendrick went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in a win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Kendrick scored two of the Angels' 10 runs on the afternoon. The stolen base was his 11th of the year, and he's hitting .290/.348/.386 with 52 runs scored on the year. He should continue to produce good numbers in the season's second half.
Jul 13 - 8:41 PM
Marlon Byrd - OF - Phillies

Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports that the Mariners have had serious discussions with the Phillies about acquiring outfielder Marlon Byrd.

There were reports earlier in the week that the Mariners had scouted the 36-year-old slugger. He's in the first year of a two-year, $16 million contract and has already indicated that he'd be willing to waive his no-trade clause. The Mariners are in desperate need for a right-handed power bat, and Byrd seems like a very logical fit.
