  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Absent from lineup

    Schneemann isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.

    An 0-for-4 performance Wednesday prevented Schneemann from extending his hitting streak to five games, and he'll now grab a seat on the bench while Steven Kwan, Angel Martinez and C.J. Kayfus start in the outfield for Cleveland.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Out versus left-hander

    Gimenez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Cubs.

    Gimenez started in the first two games of the series upon his return from the injured list, but the left-handed hitter will take a seat Thursday as the Cubs send southpaw Matthew Boyd to the bump. Ernie Clement will step in at second base for the Blue Jays.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | TB

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Power surge in August

    Lowe went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Athletics.

    Lowe blasted a two-run home run in the second inning, his 24th of the season. That's his highest mark since the 2021 campaign. Lowe has been on quite the power surge lately, delivering five homers in his last eight starts.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Losing work to Rengifo

    Moore isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Now set to sit on the bench for the fourth time in the Angels' last five games, it seems Moore has fallen out of favor for the starting gig at second base in Anaheim. Luis Rengifo will get another nod at the keystone Wednesday while batting seventh for the Halos.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Continues steals surge

    Chisholm went 2-for-3 with a triple, two walks, two runs and two stolen bases Tuesday in a 9-1 victory versus the Twins.

    Since July 30, Chisholm has stolen multiple bags in a contest three times, and seven of his 17 total thefts have come during that 12-game span. The speedy infielder is batting just .227 during the stretch, but he's added two homers while scoring eight times. Though Chisholm's overall .242 batting average is on pace to be the lowest regular-season mark of his career, his .811 OPS is tracking to be his second-highest career mark, as he's swatted 20 homers and is taking free passes more frequently than ever (11.4 percent walk rate).

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Homers in win

    India went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

    India padded the Royals' lead with a two-run blast in the sixth inning to put them up 7-2. India has five RBI in August, which has all come from his two home runs. He's had a prolonged slump at the plate, slashing .169/.281/.338 with three homers, 14 RBI and 12 runs scored in 21 games since July 18.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Sitting down Tuesday

    Moore isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

    Moore will sit down for the third time in four games Tuesday after going 3-for-20 with three runs scored since his return from the injured list. Luis Rengifo will pick up another start at second base and bat seventh.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Returns from IL

    The Blue Jays reinstated Gimenez (ankle) from the 10-day injured list and he is starting at second base Tuesday versus the Cubs.

    Gimenez, who sprained his left ankle in early July, played in five games during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo. He went 7-for-18 with a stolen base and three runs scored. With the second baseman returning Tuesday, Buddy Kennedy was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Homers, swipes bag Monday

    Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 6-2 victory versus Minnesota.

    Chisholm hit one of four solo homers by New York in the win, going deep to right-center field in the eighth inning. The veteran infielder also swiped a bag in the game, moving him to 15 thefts along with 20 home runs on the season. He's one of only 10 major-leaguers to have reached both marks so far this season.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | HOU

    Astros' Ramon Urias: Big offensive output in win

    Urias went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's victory over the Red Sox.

    Urias played a key role in Monday's win, collecting a pair of extra-base hits. Since joining the Astros, the infielder has slashed .333/.400/.611 over seven games with two doubles, a homer and three RBI. He has started three of the last seven games and makes for a nice option in deeper daily leagues, especially when he's at home, as he is well-suited to take advantage of the Crawford Boxes in left field.
