  • Sam Haggerty LF | TEX

    Mariners' Sam Haggerty: On base four times in win

    Haggerty went 2-for-3 with two walks in an extra-innings win over the Yankees on Tuesday.

    The hot-hitting outfielder was the only constant offensive presence for the Mariners in a game that was scoreless until the 13th inning. Haggerty's multi-hit effort was his third in the last four games and pushed his season line to an elite .323/.370/.516 across 100 plate appearances.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Swats leadoff dinger

    Semien went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Astros.

    Semien took Jose Urquidy deep on the fourth pitch of the game to give the Rangers an early lead. It was his 16th homer of the season and third in the last 10 games.

  • Red Sox's Christian Arroyo: Two extra base hits in loss

    Arroyo went 2-for-5 with one double, one homer, three RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 9-7 extra-innings loss against Atlanta.

    Arroyo was one of the bright spots for Boston on Tuesday as he showed off his power with a two-run home run off of Charlie Morton in the second inning and a double off of Morton in the fourth. He has now hit safely in eight of nine games since returning from the IL, improving his slash to .273/.321/.433 in the process. While the hot streak may seem like a fluke, Arroyo has been underperforming almost all season with his xBA of .278 and xSLG of .450, so this could just be positive regression for the infielder.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Doubles, steals base

    Altuve went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in a 7-5 win Tuesday over Texas.

    Altuve recorded the first hit of the game off Martin Perez when he led off the fourth inning with a single and then came around to score. In the next inning, he doubled in a run and stole third base before scoring on a sacrifice fly. It was his sixth multi-hit game in his last nine outings. Since the All-Star break, he's produced a .325/.366/.494 line in 82 plate appearances.

  • Amed Rosario SS | NYY

    Guardians' Amed Rosario: Three hits including two doubles

    Rosario went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's victory over the Tigers.

    Rosario doubled in the fourth inning before adding an RBI two-bagger in the sixth frame. He later singled and scored on a Oscar Gonzalez double in the eighth. The three-hit effort marked his third multi-hit performance of the month and the shortstop is batting .286 with three homers, three doubles, 10 RBI and six runs over eight games since the beginning of August.

  • Elvis Andrus 2B | ARI

    Athletics' Elvis Andrus: Steps out of lineup

    Andrus is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

    Andrus has sat against the past two right-handed pitchers Oakland has faced, and he'll do so again Tuesday with Shohei Ohtani on the mound for the Halos. Nick Allen will move to shortstop with Vimael Machin at third base and Jonah Bride at second.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Twins' Luis Arraez: Steps out of lineup

    Arraez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    Arraez produced three hits in each of the past two contests and totaled three doubles, two RBI, two runs and a stolen base, but he'll take a seat Tuesday with lefty Julio Urias on the mound for Los Angeles. Jose Miranda will shift to first base while Byron Buxton rests his legs as the designated hitter.

  • Red Sox's Enrique Hernandez: Ready for rehab assignment

    Manager Alex Cora said Hernandez (hip) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Wednesday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

    Cora didn't specify which affiliate Hernandez will be joining, but because he's been sidelined since June 7 with a strained right hip flexor, he'll most likely stay on the rehab assignment through the weekend as he looks to regain his timing at the plate. Hernandez previously made a rehab appearance July 8, only to be pulled off the assignment at Triple-A Worcester after experiencing a setback. He appears to have responded well to the platelet-rich plasma injection he received shortly before the All-Star break. Once he's activated, Hernandez will likely supplant Jarren Duran as the Red Sox's everyday center fielder.

  • Luis Rengifo 2B | MIL

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Supplies only run in victory

    Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 1-0 win over Oakland.

    There was very little offense in the contest, as the teams combined for seven hits and one run. The only extra-base hit was Rengifo's first-inning, 434-foot solo homer, which stood up as the decisive run. Though the long ball was only his second in 32 games since the start of July, the infielder has been productive over that span, slashing .317/.348/.452 with nine doubles, 10 runs, 13 RBI and four stolen bases.

  • Cavan Biggio RF | HOU

    Blue Jays' Cavan Biggio: Swats third homer

    Biggio went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Orioles.

    Getting the start at second base and batting ninth, the 27-year-old launched his first homer since late June and only his third of the season in 198 plate appearances. Biggio is getting more consistent playing time while George Springer (elbow) is on the shelf and Whit Merrifield is needed in center field, and he's responded by going 4-for-13 (.308) with a double and a home run over the last five games.
