Sogard went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Giants.

With the rally caps on at Fenway Park, Sogard's ninth-inning double tied the game at 2-2, setting up a walk-off win for the Red Sox. He's settling at second base, having made five consecutive starts there while hitting safely in all five, including four multi-hit efforts. Sogard has gone 9-for-19 (.474) with five walks (.583 OBP), three doubles, one home run, three RBI and six runs scored during the hit streak.

Genao started at shortstop for a second consecutive game and went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 4-3 win over Colorado.

Genao replaced Brayan Rocchio at shortstop for a second consecutive game, which could be something to monitor in the coming days. Rocchio, who's been the primary shortstop since taking over for Gabriel Arias early in the season, has slumped in the second half with a .183/.230/.270 slash line over 30 games since the break. Meanwhile, Genao has a .315/.373/.426 slash line over 15 games since being called up earlier this month. Genao has also played second base since joining the Guardians, but Travis Bazzana has been more productive than Rocchio and is less susceptible to losing his job.

Keaschall went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second RBI in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Padres.

Keaschall is up to eight homers this season, four of which have come over 18 games in August. He's batting .348 (23-for-66) this month to supplement his improved power hitting. The 24-year-old is batting .274 on the year, adding a .749 OPS, 38 RBI, 60 runs scored, 19 doubles, one triple and 14 stolen bases over 121 contests. Keaschall may be able to use his speed more if he sticks in the leadoff spot he's hit out of in the last five games.

Lee went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a run scored during Detroit's 3-1 loss to Kansas City on Saturday.

Lee was responsible for Detroit's lone run and one of three hits in this game after launching his seventh home run in the fifth to cut the lead to one. The 23-year-old had gone 20 consecutive games without a long ball dating back to July 25 before Saturday. Despite the long drought, Lee has caught fire in his last 30 games, slashing .343/.392/.543 with three homers and 16 RBI in 77 plate appearances.

Bazzana went 4-for-5 with three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 9-1 win over the Rockies.

Bazzana produced his second career four-hit effort, driving in two runs on a single in the fourth inning before adding another RBI knock in the ninth. It was a much-needed performance for the rookie, who entered the contest just 10-for-52 in August and still hasn't homered since July 20. On the year, he's slashing .241/.333/.375 with nine home runs, 39 RBI, 40 runs scored and 18 steals across his first 405 major-league plate appearances.

Chisholm is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

With lefty Mason Fluharty serving as the opener for Toronto, the Yankees are starting Jose Caballero at second base. Chisholm is hitting just .157 with a .514 OPS across 58 plate appearances this month.

The Athletics selected Stefanic's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Stefanic has spent the majority of the 2026 season with Las Vegas, where he's slashed .296/.405/.414 with six homers, 59 RBI, 59 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a 59:43 BB:K across 453 plate appearances in the Triple-A club's hitter-friendly confines. He'll serve as infield depth with the big club.

Massey went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.

Massey logged a trio of hits, including an RBI double to the right-field wall in the fifth inning. The second baseman has been swinging a hot bat, hitting .357/.373/.589 with three homers, seven RBI and nine runs across 16 games in August. Overall, he's slashing .278/.311/.447 with 11 homers, 43 RBI, 45 runs and two stolen bases in 107 contests this season.

The Astros recalled Delgado from Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday.

Delgado's last MLB stint was July 19 when he started at second base prior to getting optioned the next day. Since then, the 26-year-old has slashed .304/.383/.451 with a home run and four stolen bases across 116 plate appearances in 26 games. In a corresponding move Thursday, the Astros designated Nelson Velazquez for assignment.

Clement (illness) will start at second base and bat seventh in Thursday's contest against the Rays.

Clement was unavailable for Wednesday's game because he was under the weather, but he'll give it a go in Thursday's series finale. The infielder has produced just a .550 OPS so far in August.
