  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Knocks grand slam

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's win over Washington.

    Lowe ripped a grand slam during the Rays' six-run second inning. It was his 28th long ball of the year and fourth in his last eight games. He leads all MLB second basemen in home runs and RBI (71) this season. Lowe owns a .264/.319/.493 slash line through 113 games and is approaching his first 30-homer campaign since 2021.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Goes deep in loss

    Schneemann went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Seattle.

    The Guardians utility man started at second before eventually shifting to third and snapped a 19-game long-ball draught in this contest. Schneeman cracked a 408-foot, two-run homer off Mariners starter Bryce Miller in the third to tally his team's only runs of the game. Schneeman, who is in a strong-side platoon role, is now slashing .220/.301/.381 with 11 homers, eight steals, 41 runs scored and 34 RBI across 357 total plate appearances.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Receiving day off

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

    Christian Koss will fill in for Schmitt at second base in the series finale. Schmitt will get a chance to clear his head after he slashed just .170/.235/.340 with a 25.5 percent strikeout rate while starting in each of the Giants' last 12 games.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Hitting bench Sunday

    Hoerner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Hoerner will receive a breather after starting 11 straight games while slashing .275/.333/.425 with a home run, a stolen base, six RBI and six runs. Willi Castro will step in for Hoerner at the keystone.

  • Mauricio Dubon LF | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Exiting lineup Sunday

    Dubon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    The versatile Dubon will hit the bench after starting 11 straight games across three different positions. His last two starts came in center field, where he could end up seeing the bulk of his playing time until Jake Meyers (calf) is ready to return from the injured list.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Sitting in second straight

    India is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    The Royals will hold India out of the lineup for the second day in a row while he's stuck in a 5-for-32 slump. Michael Massey will step in for India at the keystone.

  • Luis Garcia 1B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Idle against southpaw

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

    The left-handed-hitting Garcia was included in the lineup for Wednesday's 11-2 loss to the Yankees while New York sent southpaw Max Fried to the hill, but the infielder will hit the bench Sunday versus Rays lefty Ian Seymour. With Garcia out of the lineup, Paul DeJong will receive the starting nod at the keystone.

  • Matt McLain 2B | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Belts homer in loss

    McLain went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Cardinals.

    McLain's seventh-inning home run brought the Reds within a run, but they couldn't complete the comeback. The homer was his 12th of the season, but his first since July 18 and just his fifth extra-base hit in the second half. August hasn't been kind to McLain, who has a .219/.254/.281 slash line over 21 games this month.

  • Padres' Jose Iglesias: Filling in for injured Bogaerts

    Iglesias will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

    With Xander Bogaerts landing on the injured list Friday due to a non-displaced left foot fracture, Iglesias has gained some traction in the San Diego infield. The 35-year-old will pick up his fourth consecutive start Sunday after going 3-for-12 with an RBI and a run scored over the previous three contests.
