    Guardians' Owen Miller: Accounts for margin of victory

    Miller went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Royals.

    Miller capped off the Guardians' five-run fifth inning with his homer, which was his sixth of the season. It also ended up being just enough for Cleveland to earn the win. Since the start of September, Miller has gone 16-for-63 (.254) with three extra-base hits, seven RBI and six runs scored. That's just a tick better than his .243/.301/.351 slash line for the year. The infielder has added 51 RBI, 53 runs scored, 26 doubles, a triple and two stolen bases while serving as a short-side platoon option at designated hitter, first base and second base.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Twins' Luis Arraez: Goes 1-for-4 in return

    Arraez (hamstring) went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the White Sox.

    Arraez missed the last two games while dealing with a hamstring issue, and he served as the designated hitter in this contest. He extended his hitting streak to eight games, a span in which he's gone 12-for-35 (.343) with one double, one RBI and five runs scored. The infielder is slashing .315/.372/.418 with eight home runs, 49 RBI, 86 runs scored and four stolen bases through 143 games.

    Andrus has racked up three homers among his six hits over four games to begin October. The shortstop's hot stretch to close out the year has lifted his season slash line to .250/.304/.407 with 17 homers, 18 steals, 58 RBI and 66 runs scored through 148 games between the White Sox and the Athletics.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

The 32-year-old totaled 39 doubles, 28 home runs, 18 stolen bases, 57 RBI and 102 runs this season, and he'll now turn his attention to the playoffs, which the Astros will begin Oct. 11 in the ALDS.

  • Red Sox's Christian Arroyo: Two hits Tuesday

    Arroyo went 2-for-2 with one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's win over the Rays.

    Arroyo got Boston on the board with an RBI single in the second inning to score Alex Verdugo. He later singled to start the fifth inning and came around to score on a Xander Bogaerts grand slam. The game was called short after the fifth inning due to rain, preventing Arroyo from the opportunity to record his seventh three-hit game of the season. Since missing several games due to illness at the end of September, Arroyo is 6-for-20 with two runs and four RBI.

  • Amed Rosario SS | NYY

    Guardians' Amed Rosario: Nabs 18th base

    Rosario went 3-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in a 5-3 victory Tuesday against the Royals.

    Rosario singled in his first three at-bats and added a stolen base and a run scored in the fifth. He's 18-for-22 on stolen-base attempts this season and has swiped six bags since Sept. 4. The 27-year-old has been on base often recently and has a .342/.354/.532 slash line with five stolen bases and 16 RBI in his last 18 games.

  • Sam Haggerty LF | TEX

    Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Unlikely to return for playoffs

    Haggerty (groin), who was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier Tuesday, isn't expected to be available to return during the Mariners' upcoming postseason run, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Haggerty was diagnosed with what appears to be a fairly significant left groin strain after he exited Monday's loss to the Tigers with the injury. He was spotted walking around in the clubhouse Tuesday with the assistance of crutches, but the Mariners anticipate that Haggerty will avoid surgery to address the injury. The 28-year-old closes the 2022 campaign with a .256/.335/.403 slash line to go with five home runs and 13 stolen bases over 201 plate appearances.

    Torres (illness) is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rangers.

    Torres sat out Game 1 of the twin bill after he was scratched from Monday's lineup due to an illness, and he'll remain on the bench for Tuesday's nightcap. Oswaldo Cabrera will shift to the keystone while Aaron Hicks starts in left field.

  • Jordan Diaz 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Jordan Diaz: On bench Tuesday

    Diaz isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

    After beginning his career with a .283/.313/.348 slash line through 14 games, Diaz will sit down to start Tuesday's game. Nate Mondou will start at second base instead and bat seventh.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Twins' Luis Arraez: Back in lineup Tuesday

    Arraez (hamstring) is starting as Minnesota's designated hitter and will bat leadoff Tuesday against the White Sox, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    After missing the Twins' last two games because of a hamstring issue, Arraez is officially good to go once again. The 25-year-old has recorded a hit in each of his last seven games, though he holds just a .541 OPS over 29 career plate appearances against Tuesday's starter, Lucas Giolito.
