  • Luis Urias 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Urias: Resting Thursday

    Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

    He'll give way to Max Schuemann at second base for the series finale after occupying the keystone in each of the previous three contests. Urias has received steady playing time in August but hasn't provided much production, hitting just .233 with no home runs or steals, four RBI and two runs through 13 games this month.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Slugs seventh homer

    Dubon went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Tigers.

    Dubon has started five of the last six games and showcased his versatility, playing first base, second base, shortstop and left field. He hadn't produced much offensively prior to Wednesday's home run during that stretch, going only 2-for-11 with an RBI and a run scored. Dubon changed his fortunes with a two-run blast in the fourth inning, his seventh of the season.

  • Vaughn Grissom 2B | LAA

    Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Placed on IL at Triple-A

    Grissom was placed on the 7-day injured list by Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday due to right foot inflammation, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Grissom lost the second base gig during spring training and has spent the entire 2025 season at Triple-A, where he owns a .270/.342/.441 slash line with 13 home runs, 48 RBI, 69 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a 37:73 BB:K across 418 trips to the plate. If he's able to get healthy, Grissom could be a candidate to join the Red Sox when rosters expand in September.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Swats 22nd homer

    Chisholm went 2-for-5 with a solo home run against Tampa Bay in a 13-3 win Tuesday.

    Chisholm's third-inning solo shot was one of nine homers the Yankees clubbed in the contest, tying a franchise record. The long ball was Chisholm's third in his past seven games, a span in which he's also stolen seven bases. While he's batting a modest .238 through 390 plate appearances this season, Chisholm has offered plenty of fantasy value with 22 home runs, 21 thefts, 57 RBI and 56 runs scored while having eligibility in most formats at second base, third base and the outfield.

  • Dylan Moore LF | PHI

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Picking up second straight start

    Moore will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    With Dominic Canzone tending to a bruised arm, Moore will draw a second straight start in right field, after he went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 loss. The Mariners have faced left-handed starters Tuesday and Wednesday, so the right-handed-hitting Moore may have been included in the lineup more so for matchup reasons than due to any major concern about the health of the left-handed-hitting Canzone, who should see the bulk of the starts in right field versus right-handed pitching.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Delivers walk-off walk

    Torres went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 1-0, 10-inning win over the Astros.

    Torres was the only player in the game to record multiple hits, but it was his walk that served as the key play in the pitchers' duel. The infielder drew a bases-loaded free pass in the bottom of the 10th inning to bring home a run and walk off the Astros. Torres has shown an improved eye at the plate this season, as his walk rate is a touch over 13 percent after sitting around 10 percent each of the last two years in New York. He's been a solid No. 2 hitter for a surging Detroit offense in his first season with the Tigers.

  • Max Anderson 2B | DET

    Tigers' Max Anderson: Keeps hitting after promotion

    Anderson is hitting .308 with two home runs in six games since getting promoted to Triple-A Toledo on Aug. 11.

    Anderson has had a breakout year and slashed .306/.358/.499 with 14 home runs and a 14.6 percent strikeout rate in 90 games for Double-A Erie prior to his promotion. He will always be a hit-over-power player, but Anderson has hit for enough power this year to give himself a chance to make it as an everyday second baseman. If Gleyber Torres leaves in free agency this offseason, Anderson and fellow prospect Hao-Yu Lee could earn playing time at second base in 2026.

  • Cole Young SS | SEA

    Mariners' Cole Young: Amasses season-high four RBI

    Young went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 12-7 loss to the Phillies.

    The four RBI were a season high for the rookie infielder, who blasted his fourth big fly of the season. With Ryan Bliss (biceps) still likely several weeks away from going on a rehab assignment, Young should remain Seattle's primary second baseman moving forward. Even so, Young is slashing a lukewarm .247/.333/.363 with 23 RBI and 22 runs scored through 209 plate appearances, so his fantasy appeal has remained limited.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | TOR

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Homers in four-RBI effort

    Sosa went 2-for-6 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 13-9 win over Atlanta.

    Sosa tied a season high in RBI and also launched his 17th long ball of the season. While he has just 14 walks across 108 games, Sosa remains one of the lone bright spots for the last-place White Sox this year. The 25-year-old infielder is hitting a healthy .274 with 16 doubles, 54 RBI and 42 runs scored through 391 at-bats.

  • Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: On shelf at Triple-A

    Triple-A Buffalo placed Jimenez on its 7-day injured list Aug. 7 due to an unspecified injury.

    After being optioned to Triple-A on Aug. 3, Jimenez appeared in just two contests for Buffalo before being shut down with the injury. Jimenez is without a clear timeline to return to action for Buffalo.
