  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Collects three hits Saturday

    Torres went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta.

    All three hits were singles for Torres, who continues to do a good job of getting on base for Detroit. The infielder has six hits over his last three games, and he's slashing .259/.364/.395 for the season. The .364 on-base percentage would be a new career high for Torres after he recorded a .330 figure last year with the Yankees.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Pops homer Saturday

    Schneemann went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of Minnesota. He went 0-for-5 with a run scored in the nightcap.

    Schneemann clubbed his 12th home run of the season in the fifth inning of the matinee, his first since Aug. 31. He continues to slot in wherever the Guardians need him and has appeared in 16 of Cleveland's 20 games in September, but he hasn't done much at the plate. Schneemann is slashing .149/.200/.255 with one homer, five RBI and six runs scored this month.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Idle Sunday

    Donovan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Milwaukee.

    Donovan will get the day off Sunday, opening up a start at second base for Jose Fermin. Since being reinstated from the injured list Sept. 12, Donovan is batting .321 with one home run, five runs and three RBI.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Pops 21st homer

    Sosa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Padres.

    Sosa waited until the ninth inning to pop his 21st home run of the season. He's had a mixed performance across the final month of the campaign, as he's collected 10 RBI and nine runs scored across 15 games. However, he's also hit only .200 while striking out at a 34.9 percent clip.

  • Diamondbacks' Ildemaro Vargas: Supplies winning hit

    Vargas started at first base and went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Phillies.

    Vargas delivered a two-out, run-scoring single in the sixth inning to plate the eventual game-winning run. Since Pavin Smith (quadriceps) and Tyler Locklear (elbow) landed on the injured list, Vargas has helped fill the void at first base, making five starts there in Arizona's last 11 games. He's hit safely in 10 of his last 11 appearances (nine starts), going 12-for-35 (.343) with one home run and eight RBI during that stretch.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Belts homer in win

    Edman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Giants.

    Edman has gone 6-for-28 (.214) over seven games since returning from an ankle injury, adding four RBI and five runs scored in that span. The 30-year-old's last homer had come July 29 versus the Reds, but he missed more than five weeks on the injured list between long balls. For the season, he's up to a .227/.277/.390 slash line with 13 homers, 48 RBI, 48 runs scored and three stolen bases over 93 contests.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Handling everyday reps

    Stott went 2-for-3 with a walk and a double in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    With Trea Turner (hamstring) and Edmundo Sosa (groin) both on the injured list, Stott has started each of Philadelphia's last eight games to help pick up the slack. Stott had a weak .645 OPS through July 30, but he's fared far better at the dish ever since. Over his last 150 plate appearances, he's slashing .321/.393/.519 with 15 extra-base hits, 24 RBI, 21 runs scored and seven stolen bases to raise his OPS to .719 for the year.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Plates game-winning run

    Turang went 1-for-5 with one RBI in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning victory at St. Louis.

    Turang knocked home the automatic runner in the 10th with a single to give his club a 3-2 lead. Turang has anchored the division-leading Brewers with a .286 (18-for-63) average, two homers, two steals, 10 runs scored and nine RBI in 17 games this month. Overall, the 25-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic breakout season and is now slashing .286/.356/.436 with 18 homers, 24 stolen bases, 95 runs scored and 77 RBI across 632 plate appearances.

  • Nick Yorke 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Yorke: Goes deep in win

    Yorke went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Athletics.

    Yorke got the Pirates on the board with his first home run since making his season debut Sept. 2. The 23-year-old also notched his first multi-hit game Saturday and has now hit safely in three straight contests. For the year, he's gone 10-for-46 with three extra-base hits, six RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base across 48 major-league plate appearances.

  • Tim Tawa 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Riding pine Saturday

    Tawa isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

    The D-backs will keep Tawa on the bench Saturday after he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's series opener. His absence will allow Ildemaro Vargas to start at first base and bat eighth.
