Vaughn Grissom 1B | LAA
Angels' Vaughn Grissom: Goes deep twice Tuesday
Grissom went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three total RBI in Tuesday's 8-6 extra-inning loss to the Guardians.
Grissom did significant damage against Cleveland's pitching, taking Gavin Williams deep for a two-run homer in the first inning before adding a solo shot off Logan Allen in the fifth. The latter blast restored the Angels' lead at 6-5, but the bullpen couldn't protect it. Tuesday marked Grissom's first multi-homer game of the season and represented an encouraging power display for the 25-year-old, who has gone yard a career-high nine times in 2026.

Chase Meidroth 2B | CHW
White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Three hits in win
Meidroth went 3-for-5 with an RBI on Tuesday against the Rangers.
Meidroth tallied three singles, the second of which drove in a run to put the White Sox up 8-1. It was a needed performance, as he entered Tuesday's game having gone just 5-for-39 across his last 10 games. Meidroth also recorded an RBI for the first time since Aug. 13, a span of 11 starts.

Michael Massey 2B | KC
Royals' Michael Massey: Leaves game early
Massey was removed from Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays due to a head injury.
Massey hit the ground hard after making a leaping throw to first base in the fifth inning and was immediately replaced at second by Tyler Tolbert. The Royals say that Massey is already feeling better, but he may still be evaluated for a concussion as a precaution. If he ends up needing to miss additional time, Tolbert figures to be the next man up for starts at the keystone.

Cole Young 2B | SEA
Mariners' Cole Young: Homers Monday
Young went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-2 win over the Phillies.
Young extended Seattle's lead to 8-2 in the fifth inning with his 16th homer of the year, a 356-foot shot off Zack Wheeler. It's an encouraging sign for Young, who had been struggling mightily at the plate coming into Monday's contest -- he'd gone just 1-for-25 while striking out at a 31 percent rate in his previous seven games. Overall, the 23-year-old Young is slashing .251/.310/.393 through 530 plate appearances this season with 62 runs scored, 57 RBI and three steals.

Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH
Athletics' Jeff McNeil: Trio of hits in loss
McNeil went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 9-6 loss to the Twins.
McNeil sparked the Athletics' rally in the ninth inning with a two-RBI double, though the comeback ultimately fell short. The veteran has mashed since the All-Star break, slashing .373/.393/.520 with three homers, 19 RBI, 14 runs and five stolen bases over his past 30 games. His season marks remain fairly pedestrian, however, as McNeil is hitting .267/.318/.362 with six homers, 45 RBI, 37 runs and six stolen bases in 115 contests.

Astros' Raynel Delgado: Sent to Triple-A
Delgado was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Delgado was promoted to the big leagues Thursday and appeared in two games, going 0-for-4 with a run scored and a walk. However, he'll report to Triple-A following Monday's move, which opened up a spot for Nelson Velazquez.

Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE
Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Absent from lineup Monday
Bazzana is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Angels.
Bazzana will exit the lineup for Monday's series opener after starting each of the previous 10 contests. Angel Genao will occupy second base in Bazzana's stead.

Nicky Lopez 2B | TEX
Rangers' Nicky Lopez: Losing grip on platoon role
Lopez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.
The Rangers will keep Lopez on the bench for a fifth consecutive game. Two of his absences from the lineup have come against right-handed pitchers, so the left-handed-hitting Lopez may have lost his grip on a strong-side platoon role in the Texas infield. Lopez's downturn in playing time comes while he's struggled to a .111/.167/.148 slash line over his last 23 games.

Richard Palacios 2B | TB
Rays' Richie Palacios: Taking seat versus lefty
Palacios is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
The Rays will keep Palacios on the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Liam Hicks and Cedric Mullins while the Tigers send lefty Framber Valdez to the bump for the series opener. Jorge Mateo will fill in for Palacios at second base and will bat sixth.
