Jeremiah Jackson SS | BAL
Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Leads O's offense Monday
Jackson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored Monday in a 4-3 win over the Padres.
The versatile rookie's fifth-inning long ball broke a 2-2 tie, and he scored the game-winning run in the seventh on a Dylan Beavers single. Jackson continues to rake -- he's riding a 12-game hitting streak during which he's slashing .340/.364/.585 with three homers, 11 RBI and eight runs. His hot bat has made him an everyday presence in Baltimore's lineup, and he's been splitting his time between third base and right field.

Nick Yorke 2B | PIT
Pirates' Nick Yorke: Receives call-up to Pittsburgh
The Pirates recalled Yorke from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.
Yorke was a regular in the Pittsburgh lineup for the second half of September last season, but after failing to win a spot on the Opening Day roster coming out of spring training, he's spent the entire 2025 campaign to date at Indianapolis. The 23-year-old has been serviceable as an everyday player for Indianapolis with a .287/.348/.406 slash line, seven home runs and 17 steals over 440 plate appearances, but he didn't dominate enough at any point to earn a call-up to Pittsburgh until the active roster expanded to 28 men Monday. Yorke will likely stick with the Pirates throughout the final month of the season, but he could end up filling a utility role and may not be in line for steady playing time.

Brice Turang 2B | MIL
Brewers' Brice Turang: Continues to flash power
Turang went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks Monday in a 10-8 loss to the Phillies.
Turang got Milwaukee off to a quick start with a solo blast to lead off the bottom half of the first inning. The long ball was his second in as many days, and Turang has now gone deep 11 times across his past 28 contests. Over that stretch, he's slashing a robust .340/.407/.708 with 24 RBI, 23 runs and three stolen bases. The power surge has seemingly come out to nowhere -- prior to that 28-game stretch, Turang had homered just once over his previous 30 appearances.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Lifts 24th homer
Marte went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-5 extra-inning loss to the Rangers.
Marte was back at second base after three games at designated hitter. He hasn't been reported to have an injury, and his recent string of games in a non-fielding role could simply be part of the plan to keep both Blaze Alexander and Jordan Lawlar involved down the stretch. Marte's bat has been fine lately, as he's gone 11-for-41 (.268) over his last 11 games, but his homer Monday was his first extra-base hit in that span. For the season, he's posted a .290/.390/.527 slash line with 24 homers, 61 RBI, 76 runs scored and four stolen bases over 105 games.

Zack Gelof 2B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Trio of hits in win
Gelof went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run, an additional run scored and was caught stealing in Monday's win over the Cardinals.
Gelof contributed to the Athletics' blowout win Monday with his second homer and second double of the season. His 2025 campaign has been derailed by wrist and rib injuries, keeping him in the minors more than the majors to this point. Since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Aug. 25, the 25-year-old is 7-for-27 (.259), with all four of his extra-base hits and five of his six RBI on the year coming during the seven-game stretch.

Leonardo Rivas SS | SEA
Mariners' Leo Rivas: Pops homer off bench
Rivas hit a two-run home run in his lone at-bat in Monday's 10-2 loss to the Rays.
Rivas was called up earlier in the day as rosters expanded to 28. He didn't start, but he pinch hit for Jorge Polanco in the ninth inning and provided the Mariners' lone runs in the lopsided loss. The homer was the first of his big-league career Rivas hadn't played in the majors since May 29 after a middling stretch of action early in the campaign. The infielder is slashing .295/.419/.361 with six RBI, 15 runs scored, four stolen bases and a double over 74 plate appearances. Rivas is likely to fill a reserve role around the infield, with his best chance of playing time coming at second base if he can challenge the duo of Polanco and Cole Young.

Tristan Gray SS | BOS
Rays' Tristan Gray: Goes yard in win
Gray went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 10-2 win over the Mariners.
Gray's first two homers of the season have come over his last three games, though that stretch dates back to Aug. 22. The infielder hasn't been able to carve out consistent playing time despite being with the big club throughout August. He's at a .200/.243/.400 slash line with five RBI, four runs scored, no stolen bases and one double across 37 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Casey Schmitt SS | SF
Giants' Casey Schmitt: Avoids major injury
Schmitt (elbow) underwent X-rays, which came back negative, following Monday's 8-2 win over the Rockies, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Schmitt exited Monday's contest in the top of fifth inning after being struck by a pitch in the right elbow, but he appears to have avoided a major injury. The second baseman is considered to be day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's contest in Colorado.

Ramon Urias 2B | HOU
Astros' Ramon Urias: Goes deep in win
Urias went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an additional RBI in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Angels.
Urias drew the start at second, where he has become a mainstay for the Astros, and clubbed his second homer with his new club. The 31-year-old opened the contest's scoring with a 361-foot blast off Los Angeles starter Yusei Kikuchi in the second. Since joining Houston from Baltimore at the trade deadline, Urias has batted .300 (18-for-60) with six RBI and five runs scored across 21 games.

Jose Altuve 2B | HOU
Astros' Jose Altuve: Cracks 24th long ball
Altuve went 2-for-4 with a homer, a double, a walk and three RBI in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Angels.
The Houston veteran tallied his team's final two runs with a 374-foot round tripper off Los Angeles reliever Brock Burke in the eighth. This marks the sixth time in his 15-year career that Altuve has reached the 24-homer plateau, with the last occurrence happening in 2022. The 35-year-old is now slashing .274/.337/.459 with 73 runs scored and 68 RBI in 570 total plate appearances.
