  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | SD

    Padres' Ryan O'Hearn: Trio of RBI in three-hit attack

    O'Hearn went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Saturday's 7-3 win over the White Sox.

    It was the fourth three-RBI effort of the season by O'Hearn, who also knocked at least three hits for the seventh time in 2025. The All-Star slugger has found himself in quite the tailspin at the plate -- he has a .529 OPS in September -- though he doesn't appear to be in immediate danger of losing action as the designated hitter. Gavin Sheets, who's O'Hearn's main threat to playing time, has a .589 OPS this month.

  • Troy Johnston 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Troy Johnston: Lifts fourth homer

    Johnston went 2-for-4 with a home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over Texas.

    Johnston blasted his fourth homer of the season, also logging multiple hits for the fourth time this month. The rookie outfielder has made a nice impression since being called up in late July, as he's settled in as Miami's primary right fielder. Through his first 99 at-bats, Johnston is batting .283 with four long balls, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases.

  • Astros' Christian Walker: Sitting amid slump

    Walker is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mariners, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Walker is hitless with nine strikeouts in his last four games, so he's getting a day to clear his head. Victor Caratini gets the start at first base, batting fifth.

  • Sal Stewart 1B | CIN

    Reds' Sal Stewart: Sitting again Saturday

    Stewart is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cubs.

    Stewart will head to the bench for a second game in a row, Friday against a lefty and Saturday against righty Javier Assad. The righty-hitting rookie has been swinging a hot bat (.972 OPS over his last 11 games), but Spencer Steer has been even more productive of late (three homers, eight RBI over last three games), and Steer is starting at first base and batting second Saturday.

  • Nick Kurtz 1B | ATH

    Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Mashes 33rd homer

    Kurtz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

    The rookie slugger took Mitch Keller deep in the fourth inning to kick off a rally from an early 3-0 deficit. Kurtz is up to 33 homers on the season, tying him with Jose Canseco for the second-most in franchise history by a rookie behind Mark McGwire's legendary 1987 season, when he set a then-MLB record with 49. Like those two former A's stars, Kurtz seems like a lock for the AL Rookie of the Year Award given his .293/.387/.620 slash line through his first 109 games.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Reaching base consistently

    Horwitz went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a double and a run scored Friday against the A's.

    Horwitz drove in the Pirates' first with a double in the opening frame, and he came around to score one batter later. He has at least one hit in nine of his last 12 starts and has maintained a .275 average with two homers, four RBI and seven runs scored across 15 games in September.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Launches homer No. 30

    Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-1 loss to Atlanta.

    He spoiled a potential shutout bid for Bryce Elder by taking the right-hander deep in the fourth inning. The long ball was Torkelson's 30th of the season, the second time he's reached that milestone in his career, and he's been on a tear in September as Detroit tries to hang onto its lead in the AL Central. Over his last nine games, the first baseman is batting .371 (13-for-35) with two homers, three RBI and six runs.

  • Spencer Steer 1B | CIN

    Reds' Spencer Steer: Big role in Friday's win

    Steer went 2-for-3 with a walk, two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 7-4 win over the Cubs.

    For the second time in three games, Steer powered the Reds to a victory. On Friday, he hit a solo homer in the fourth inning, and then his two-run shot in the seventh was the go-ahead knock. This outburst came two days after he homered and knocked in five in Wednesday's win over St. Louis. All of this followed a stretch in which Steer missed time due to spasms in his neck.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Rowdy Tellez: Contributes clutch homer

    Tellez hit a two-run homer in a pinch-hit appearance during Friday's extra-innings loss to the Marlins.

    The Texas slugger launched a titanic 425-foot, two-run blast off Miami reliever Michael Petersen in the 10th to tie the game at 3-3. Tellez has fallen out of an everyday role in Texas, as Jake Burger has overtaken the starting role at first base. Through 43 total games with Rangers, Tellez is now batting .270 (27-for-100) with five homers, 17 RBI and 12 runs scored since joining the club in mid-July.

  • Jake Bauers 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Reaches base four times

    Bauers went 3-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Cardinals.

    Bauers logged his first multi-hit effort since Sept. 7 versus the Pirates. The first baseman looked to be gaining playing time early in the week, but this was just his third start in the last five games as Andrew Vaughn has reclaimed a share of the action at first base. Bauers is batting .405 (15-for-37) over 14 games this month and is up to a .235/.345/.400 slash line with seven home runs, eight steals, 27 RBI and 27 runs scored across 200 plate appearances this season.
