  • Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Continues recent surge

    Rodgers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-2 win against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

    Rodgers took Los Angeles starter Julio Urias deep to left in the first inning and added a single in the third for his third multi-hit performance in his last five games. During the stretch, the 26-year-old is 9-for-18 with two home runs, a double and three walks and has boosted his season OPS from .710 to .736.

    Diamondbacks' Josh Rojas: Records lone Arizona hit

    Rojas went 1-for-3 with a steal in Tuesday's loss against the Brewers.

    Rojas was one of the lone bright spots for Arizona, as he recorded the team's sole hit on the night. The hit, a single to lead off the seventh inning, spoiled Milwaukee's bid for a combined no-hitter and put him in position to swipe second base, which he did successfully. The stolen base was his 23rd of the season and third in his last five games. Over 506 plate appearances in 2022, Rojas has slashed .267/.347/.380.

    Brewers' Luis Urias: Leads team to victory

    Urias went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Tuesday's victory over Arizona.

    Urias produced two of Milwaukee's three runs Tuesday, getting to Arizona ace Zac Gallen for a couple of extra-base hits. His solo shot in the third inning, Urias' 16th on the season, put Milwaukee up 2-0, and he later smacked a double to score Jace Peterson in the fifth inning. Over his last 10 games dating back to Sept. 20, Urias is batting .382 (13-for-34) with five extra-base hits, four RBI and six runs scored.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Hits 10th home run

    Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.

    Hoerner came into 2022 with just three career MLB home runs, but he now has 10 this season. He's paired those long balls with 19 stolen bases in 21 attempts along with a strong .280 batting average. Hoerner has also played in a career-high 134 games. If he can remain healthy in 2023 and continues to develop a bit more power, his fantasy outlook should trend upward.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Perfect at plate Monday

    Stott went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's 3-0 win over the Astros.

    Stott reached base in all four of his plate appearances Monday, just the second time that he has reached base four times in his young career. The home run, a solo shot which came in the top of the eighth, was his 10th of the season and first since Sept. 3. The rookie is heating up to close the season, as he is now 9-for-17 over his last five games with three steals, four runs scored and five RBI.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Goes deep Sunday

    Kim went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the White Sox.

    Kim accounted for San Diego's only run in the loss with his 416-foot solo shot to left field in the seventh inning. It was his 11th homer of the campaign and his first extra-base hit of any kind since Sept. 25. Kim has posted a .249/.322/.380 slash line along with 57 RBI, 57 runs and 11 stolen bases over 148 games in his second major-league season.

  • Ji-Hwan Bae 2B | NYM

    Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Sitting Monday

    Bae is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    Bae has handled a near-everyday role since his call-up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sept. 23 and has picked up starts at three different positions. Though he's on the bench Monday, it wouldn't be surprising if he picked up starts in the Pirates' final two games of the season.

  • Ji-Hwan Bae 2B | NYM

    Pirates' Ji-hwan Bae: Two hits, steals bag

    Bae went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Bae has started seven of nine games since being promoted for his major-league debut. He tallied his third stolen base Sunday and also has eight hits across 26 at-bats. Though Bae has yet to go yard, he has contributed across the box score by racking up three doubles, three runs scored and four RBI in his small sample in the majors.

  • Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Smacks 12th homer

    Rodgers went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday against the Dodgers.

    Rodgers took Tyler Anderson yard in the opening frame to tally his 12th home run of the season. It was his first long ball since Aug. 12 -- a span of 32 games -- and he's hit just .188 with five RBI and 12 runs scored in that span. Despite that slump, Rodgers has tallied a career-high 62 RBI and 71 runs scored across 569 plate appearances.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Tallies three hits, including homer

    McNeil went 3-for-5 with a solo home run during Sunday's 5-3 loss to Atlanta.

    McNeil connected on a solo shot off Atlanta starter Charlie Morton in the third inning while adding singles in the first and seventh to collect multiple hits for the fifth straight game. The 30-year-old is batting 11-for-21 during the stretch to boost his average from .317 to .326 -- just one point behind MLB-leader Freddie Freeman. McNeil is slashing .326/.381/.448 with eight home runs, 71 runs and 61 RBI in 145 contests.
