  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Power surge continues

    Sosa went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and three RBI on Sunday against the Guardians.

    Sosa kicked off the scoring with a two-run home run in the first inning, his 14th of the season. That continued a prolific power surge, as Sosa now has five homers in his last 11 starts. He's also managed to go 13-for-39 with 10 RBI and nine runs scored in that span.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Reaches three times in win

    Torres went 1-for-3 with two walks, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Angels.

    Torres has been a bit sluggish in August with a .226 batting average across nine games, but this was his third time this month reaching base at least twice, and he remains an effective No. 2 hitter in a strong Detroit lineup. For the season, the infielder is slashing .271/.371/.421 with 13 home runs, 57 RBI and 61 runs scored in 105 games.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Launches walk-off homer

    Keaschall went 3-for-5 with a double and a two-run homer in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Royals.

    Keaschall's second major-league homer was a big one -- he took Carlos Estevez deep the opposite way with two outs in the 11th inning, giving the Twins a two-run, walk-off victory. The 22-year-old Keaschall has been red-hot since rejoining Minnesota earlier this month following an extended stint on the IL with a fractured forearm. He's gone 10-for-22 (.455) with 10 RBI in five games. The rookie should continue to see regular playing time at second base down the stretch.

  • Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Moving up to Triple-A

    The Guardians promoted Bazzana from Double-A Akron to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

    The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft will make the jump to the highest level of the minors after batting .256 with five home runs and nine stolen bases over 228 plate appearances at Akron. The 22-year-old will look to finish the 2025 campaign on a high note at Columbus before likely making his MLB debut at some point in 2026.

  • Cole Young SS | SEA

    Mariners' Cole Young: Getting day off

    Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    With Cal Raleigh getting a day off from catching but sticking in the lineup at designated hitter, Jorge Polanco will receive the start at second base while Young heads to the bench. The rookie still appears to be viewed as Seattle's top option at the keystone, but with a .253 batting average, three home runs, one steal, 21 runs and 16 RBI through his first 53 big-league games, Young's fantasy appeal will mostly be limited to AL-only leagues or deeper mixed leagues.

  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Sitting after three straight starts

    Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Urias has moved past a back issue and got the start at second base in the prior three games while going 4-for-11 with a walk, two RBI and two runs. He'll give way to Max Schuemann at the keystone Sunday, but Urias should have a fairly clear path to playing time while Max Muncy (hand) and Jacob Wilson (forearm) are on the shelf.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Getting rest day

    Moore is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Tigers on Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Moore was reinstated from the 10-day injured list this past Sunday and will get a breather after playing in the Angels' last five games, going 3-for-16 (.188) with three runs and four walks over that span. Luis Rengifo will start at the keystone and bat seventh.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Royals' Adam Frazier: Not starting Saturday

    Frazier is not in the Royals' starting lineup against the Twins on Saturday.

    Frazier will take a seat after going 0-for-4 in Friday's series opener. Randal Grichuk, Kyle Isbel and Mike Yastrzemski will start in the outfield from left to right for the Royals on Saturday. Frazier has gone 5-for-24 (.208) with one home run and four RBI in seven games since the beginning of August.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Resuming assignment

    Massey (wrist/back) will resume his rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.

    Massey was pulled off his rehab assignment from a fractured right wrist last week due to a back injury, but he's now been given the green light to return to action in Triple-A. It's unclear how many more reps in the minors the Royals will look to give the 27-year-old, though he should be able to rejoin the active roster later this month, barring any additional setbacks.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Day off Saturday

    Dubon isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

    Dubon has collected a base hit in each of his last four contests, but he'll take a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's contest while Ramon Urias starts at second base.
