  • Jeff McNeil 2B | NYM

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Stays hot at plate

    McNeil went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a two-RBI double and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 8-1 win over Washington.

    McNeil delivered his third multi-hit performance in his last four games. His two-RBI double came off Nationals starter Jake Irvin while his ninth-inning homer was against Jackson Rutledge. McNeil has had an excellent August, slashing .302/.353/.429 with a 5:8 K:BB over 16 games.

  • Thomas Saggese 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Thomas Saggese: Tallies three hits

    Saggese went 3-for-4 with a steal, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Marlins.

    Saggese notched a base hit in each of his first three at-bats, though the exit velocity did not top 80 mph on any of his knocks. He's been making good contact in August with a .300 batting average in 15 games and figures to see extended playing time in the short term with Brendan Donovan (groin) on the injured list while Nolan Gorman mans third base in the absence of Nolan Arenado (shoulder).

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Three hits, steal in narrow win

    Albies went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 11-10 win over the White Sox.

    Albies racked up at least three hits for the fourth time this year, and the steal was his 12th of the season. The second baseman has been a massive disappointment at the plate -- he has a .634 OPS in 2025 -- but he's at least fared slightly better over the past month of action. Over his last 118 at-bats (31 games), Albies is hitting .263 with three long balls, five doubles, 21 RBI and five pilfers.

  • Willi Castro RF | CHC

    Cubs' Willi Castro: Hits first Chicago home run

    Castro went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

    Castro has been scuffling a bit since joining the Cubs at the trade deadline, but he delivered a key blast to help lead Chicago to a 6-4 win in the first game Tuesday. It was the utility man's first home run with his new team and 11th overall this season. Castro is now batting .150 across 12 games in a Cubs' uniform, though he has at least provided defensive versatility, and his big homer could get him going at the plate.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Snaps long homer drought in win

    Stott went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 win over Seattle.

    Stott clubbed his eighth homer of the year and his first since July 23 versus Boston. The speedy infielder hasn't led off for the Phillies since early June, but he's finally beginning to gain some momentum in August as he tries to climb his way back up the batting order. Through his first 43 at-bats of the month, Stott is hitting .326 with four doubles, eight RBI, nine runs scored and four steals.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Rare lineup omission

    Cronenworth is not in the Padres' lineup versus the Giants on Tuesday.

    Cronenworth has missed just one game in 2025 that he has been healthy for. The last game the second baseman did not start was July 13, but he still entered off the bench for a plate appearance. With the left-handed bat on the bench Tuesday, Jose Iglesias has the start at second base and is batting eighth.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Sitting versus southpaw

    Garcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Mets.

    The Mets are sending lefty David Peterson to the hill, and the left-handed-hitting Garcia will cede second base to Paul DeJong. It's the second straight and fifth time over the last seven games versus southpaws that Garcia has been held out of the starting lineup.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Doubles in win

    Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Monday's 4-3 win over San Diego.

    Schmitt hit a double to left field in the first inning before coming around to score one of the Giants' four runs in the frame. The 26-year-old infielder returned to action Monday after missing two straight games due to a right forearm contusion. Over 12 games this month, he's slashing .283/.353/.500 with seven RBI, six runs scored, four doubles and two home runs across 51 plate appearances. Overall, he has posted a .251/.326/.407 slash line with 24 RBI, 21 runs scored, 10 doubles and seven homers across 222 plate appearances this season.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Not starting in early game

    Hoerner is out of the lineup for the opening game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Brewers.

    After double-play partner Dansby Swanson received a rare rest day in Monday's 7-0 loss to Milwaukee, Hoerner will take a seat for the first game of the day and the second contest of a five-game set with the NL Central leaders. Willi Castro will step in at second base in place of Hoerner, who had started in every game dating back to April 8.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Records 21st double of season

    Marte went 1-for-5 with a double in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Guardians.

    Rather than as a result of his performance, Marte drew more attention Monday when he spoke to the media prior to the contest and addressed a recent article in The Arizona Republic that suggested teammates and others in the organization have been irked about the second baseman's propensity to take days off. Per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, Marte said through an interpreter that his absences from the lineup have been largely "integrated with the coaching staff and myself, in order to keep me on the field the longest." Marte has received some occasional days off since returning to action in early May after a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, and he also missed the Diamondbacks' first three games of the second half after his home was burglarized during the All-Star Game. Any controversy pertaining to Marte's tendency to take days off hasn't affected his performance; he's slashing .309/.396/.515 with four home runs, eight doubles, one steal, 16 RBI and 17 runs scored over 25 games in the second half.
