Altuve went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and one steal in Sunday's victory over the Angels.

Altuve stayed hot at the dish Sunday with three hits and a stolen base, his 16th on the season. He is batting .350 with 11 extra-base hits in 80 at-bats over his last 20 games dating back to Aug. 18. He has scored 18 runs in that stretch, giving him 84 on the season.

Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 win over Minnesota.

After going hitless in his last two games, Gimenez got back on track with a solo shot in the second inning, his 16th homer on the season. Despite the mini-slump, Gimenez is batting .270 (10-for-37) in the month of September with three stolen bases. He now owns a strong .299/.369/.478 slash line through 125 games.

Hernandez went 4-for-6 with a double, an RBI single and two runs scored in Saturday's 17-4 win over the Orioles.

Hernandez knocked in Trevor Story on a single in the ninth inning, which turned out to be the final run in a 17-run game. Hernandez also scored on a Kevin Plawecki double in the fourth inning and an Abraham Almonte single in the ninth. Prior to Saturday's contest, Hernandez had five hits across seven games this month, and he nearly matched that total with the four-hit performance against Baltimore. With the big game Saturday, the veteran is slashing .310/.375/.448 for the month and is batting .226 on the season.

Arroyo went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run and an RBI single in Saturday's win over the Orioles.

Arroyo knocked in J.D. Martinez on a fifth-inning homer, then scored Connor Wong on a single in the ninth. This was Arroyo's sixth homer of the season and his first since Aug. 9. The second baseman has hits in three straight games and in five of his last six, but he has also struck out in five straight games, limiting his fantasy upside. He is currently slashing .285/.325/.427 on the season.

Lopez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Lopez singled in a run in Saturday's game, but that was the only hit he recorded over his last four games, so manager Mike Matheny decided to hold him out Sunday.

Haggerty went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over Atlanta on Saturday.

Haggerty launched a 401-foot shot to left off Max Fried, who's notoriously effective at keeping the ball in the park on the road, to give the Mariners a 1-0 lead. The 28-year-old's bat has cooled off a bit in recent games, but his current .295 average and .841 OPS are both easily career-high figures.

Andrus went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and two runs scored in Saturday's victory over the Athletics.

Andrus knocked in Yasmani Grandal and Josh Harrison on a second-inning home run against his former team. It was his 13th homer of the season and his fourth this month. Andrus also scored on on an Eloy Jimenez single in the seventh inning. The veteran shortstop has come alive after joining the White Sox on Aug. 19. Since then, he's 27-for-89 (.303) and has raised his season batting average from .235 to .251.

Arroyo started at first base and went 2-for-3 with a home run and two additional RBI in Saturday's 17-4 win over the Orioles.

The righty-hitting Arroyo got the start at first base over the lefty-hitting Triston Casas despite the Orioles throwing right-hander Jordan Lyles. Casas was 2-for-18 with a home run, two RBI, three walks and seven strikeouts over five consecutive starts before being held out Saturday. The job still belongs to Casas, who is expected to be the primary starter at first base for the rest of the season. Meanwhile, Arroyo could still find at-bats at other positions due to a hot bat. He's posted an .860 OPS over 31 games since coming off the injured list in late July.

Arraez went 3-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Guardians.

Arraez has four doubles in his last four games, and he added an RBI single and a run in the Twins' ninth-inning rally that came up short. The infielder is hitting .289 (11-for-38) with five two-baggers and three runs scored through eight games in September, and he's been held without a hit only once this month. Arraez is back up to a .316/.377/.429 slash line with eight home runs, four stolen bases, 46 RBI, 76 runs scored and 28 doubles through 124 contests.

Rosario went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Twins.

Rosario went deep in the first inning to give the Guardians a lead they would not relinquish. The shortstop has gone 7-for-36 (.194) in eight games this month, with his homer counting as his first extra-base hit and RBI in that span. The 26-year-old is slashing .277/.309/.395 with nine homers, 54 RBI, 74 runs scored and 13 stolen bases through 130 contests as the Guardians' near-everyday No. 2 hitter.
