  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Records 10th steal

    Altuve went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, one RBI and one stolen base in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Mariners.

    This was Altuve's second multi-hit effort in a row but just his fourth such game in all of September. The 35-year-old is batting just .203 (13-for-64) over 18 games this month, adding three home runs and 10 RBI in that span. For the season, he's posted a .265/.327/.444 slash line with 26 homers, 75 RBI, 78 runs scored and 10 steals across 150 contests.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Reaches three times in loss

    Torres went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta.

    Torres extended his hitting streak to four games, with the last three contests being multi-hit efforts. The Detroit infielder is now slashing .261/.366/.398 across 140 games this year, and he's been a key offensive performer in his first season with his new team. Torres should continue to slot in as the No. 2 hitter for the Tigers as they look to wrap up a playoff spot.

  • Leonardo Rivas 2B | SEA

    Mariners' Leo Rivas: Fading into reserve role

    Rivas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

    Rivas will be left out of the lineup for the third game in a row while the Mariners make an effort to get their best bats in the lineup. To that end, Jorge Polanco will once again cover second base, allowing Dominic Canzone to serve as the Mariners' designated hitter while Victor Robles occupies right field.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Idle Sunday

    Edman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Edman will hit the bench for the second time in six games, paving the way for Miguel Rojas to pick up a start at the keystone. Since returning from the injured list Sept. 10, Edman has split time between second base and center field and has gone 6-for-28 (.214 average) with one home run, one walk, four RBI and five runs in seven games.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Earning more work at 2B

    Rojas will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Rojas will occupy the keystone for the fourth time in five games and has made a case for serving as the Dodgers' primary option at the position over Tommy Edman, who has posted a meager .555 OPS since returning from the injured list Sept. 10. During that same stretch, Rojas is slashing .333/.400/.519 with three extra-base hits, three walks and two stolen bases in nine games.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Taking seat Sunday

    Schmitt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    After going 0-for-9 with a 3:3 BB:K while starting in each of the last three games, Schmitt will take a seat for the series finale in Los Angeles. Christian Koss will fill in at second base for Schmitt.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Taking seat Sunday

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Schneemann started both ends of Saturday's doubleheader when the Guardians went up against right-handed pitchers, going 1-for-9 with a solo home run and an additional run between the two contests. He'll sit against righty Simeon Woods Richardson on Sunday, opening up room in the lineup for George Valera.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: On bench against LHP

    Turang is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    The left-handed-hitting Turang will take a seat Sunday against southpaw Matthew Liberatore. The second baseman had been part of the starting nine in each of the Brewers' last 14 games and went 14-for-56 (.250 average) with eight runs scored and seven RBI during that stretch.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: On bench again

    Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    With southpaw Sean Manaea opening the game for the Mets, the left-handed-hitting Garcia will retreat to the bench. Paul DeJong will fill in for Garcia at second base.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Taking seat Sunday

    Massey isn't in the Royals' starting lineup Sunday versus the Blue Jays.

    Massey will begin the series finale on the bench after starting each of Kansas City's past three contests at second base. Adam Frazier will cover the keystone Sunday.
