	Kyle Manzardo went 1-for-3 with a grand slam in a 6-5 win over the Reds in Game 1 of a Tuesday doubleheader. He went 0-for-1 in the nightcap. Matthew Adam Wed, Jul 29th	Justin Foscue went 1-for-1 with a home run and a walk in two plate appearances off the bench against the Twins on Thursday. The homer continued a productive stretch for the infielder, who is batting .274/.333/.493 through 81 plate appearances this season. Bruno Mulé Fri, Jun 19th
	Kyle Manzardo went 3-for-5 in Wednesday’s loss to the Twins with a home run, one double, two runs scored, and two RBI. Chris Schommer Thu, Jul 23rd	With Corey Seager back from the injured list, Ezequiel Duran is expected to take over as the primary starter at second base, further limiting Foscue's opportunities. He had already lost his semi-regular role at the position when Texas added Nicky Lopez, and Sunday marked just his second start in the last eight games — both coming against left-handed pitching. Bruno Mulé Mon, Jun 8th
