Hensley went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Angels.

Hensley started at third base with Alex Bregman getting a regular day off. Hensley took advantage of the opportunity, collecting his first career RBI on a two-run double in the second inning. With Yordan Alvarez (hand) back in the lineup, Hensley may struggle to find consistent playing time moving forward. Across 17 career plate appearances, he has six hits -- including two doubles.

Gimenez went 0-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-3 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.

Gimenez saw a modest three-game hitting streak end Sunday, but he was still able to get aboard twice for the second time in four games. The second baseman walked, stole second and scored in the seventh inning. He slashed .326/.390/.494 through 25 games in August, and Gimenez appears to be keeping up the consistency to begin September. For the year, he owns a .299/.367/.480 slash line with 15 home runs, 16 steals (in 18 attempts), 60 RBI and 50 runs scored through 119 contests as a near-everyday player.

Rosario went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-3 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.

Rosario singled, stole second and scored on an Oscar Gonzalez single for the tying run in the eighth inning. This was just the second time in six games Rosario has hit safely -- he's gone 3-for-24 (.125) with eight strikeouts in that stretch. The shortstop's slump has him down to a .278/.311/.395 slash line with eight home runs, 13 steals, 52 RBI and 71 runs scored through 125 contests this year.

Altuve went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional RBI in a 9-1 win against the Angels on Sunday.

Altuve singled in the first inning, doubled home a run as part of a five-run second and added a two-run homer in the seventh to chase Angels starter Tucker Davidson. The 32-year-old is in the midst of a scorching 10-game stretch, during which he's gone 17-for-40 with three long balls and six doubles. The recent uptick has boosted his season line to .292/.377/.524, with his .901 OPS ranking eighth in MLB.

Lopez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and an RBI in a 3-2 win Sunday in Detroit.

Lopez had an RBI single in the fourth, singled and stole second in the sixth and walked in the eighth. It was just the second time he reached base safely three times in a game since July 7. He is now 13-for-16 in stolen base attempts on the season and has six steals since the beginning of August.

Semien went 0-for-3 with a run scored, a walk and a stolen base in a 5-2 loss Sunday in Boston.

Semien walked, stole second and scored in Texas' two-run first inning. It was his 21st stolen base this season but only his second since July 31. The 31-year-old has reached base safely in 16 straight contests, posting a .313/.384/.547 line with 16 runs scored and eight walks in that span.

Miller is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Miller will sit for the second time in the series while Josh Naylor logs another start at first base to open up the designated-hitter spot for Jose Ramirez. Meanwhile, Tyler Freeman will enter the lineup for the first time since Aug. 26 to spell Ramirez at third base.

Haggerty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

It's the third straight game on the bench for Haggerty, who returned to the lineup Wednesday after missing some time with a finger injury. It's unclear if the 28-year-old aggravated the injury or if he's simply fallen out of favor for playing time. Taylor Trammell will start in right field and bat ninth Sunday.

Torres is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

After going 2-for-11 with a double, a run and an RBI while starting at second base in each of the past three games, Torres will get a breather for the series finale. Rookie Oswald Peraza will spell Torres at the keystone.

Hernandez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rangers, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Hernandez is 9-for-26 with a home run, two doubles, five walks, five RBI and six runs over his past eight games, but he'll head to the bench Sunday for the second time in Boston's past four contests. Rob Refsnyder will take over in center field and bat seventh.
