  • Will Wilson 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Will Wilson: Returns to Triple-A

    The Guardians optioned Wilson to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

    Wilson's latest stint in the big leagues lasted one week, with the infielder appearing in two games and going 3-for-6 with an RBI and a run. He'll be replaced on the 28-man active roster by outfielder George Valera, who was called up from Triple-A.

  • Mets' Luisangel Acuna: Rejoins big club

    The Mets recalled Acuna from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

    Acuna, who has seen the vast majority of his playing time at second base with the big club this season, is expected to occupy a bench role in September. The 23-year-old righty hitter hit .303 with zero home runs and eight steals in 28 games at Triple-A and has batted .239 with zero home runs and 12 steals in 175 plate appearances with the Mets in 2025.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Reaches three times in win

    Torres went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Royals.

    Torres ended August on a high note, going 6-for-13 with a walk, a run scored and two RBI during the three-game series in Kansas City. For the season, the infielder is batting .265 with a .767 OPS to go along with 14 home runs, 63 RBI and 69 runs scored. The RBI match last year's regular-season total he posted with the Yankees, and the 14 long balls are just one shy of his 2024 tally.

  • Matt McLain SS | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Another homer

    McLain went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Sunday's 7-4 win over St. Louis.

    McLain gave the Reds insurance in the eighth inning, when he knocked his 13th homer and second in as many days. It's been a trying season for the middle infielder, who's batting .222 for the season and spent a good deal of the first half below the Mendoza Line (.200). His playing time may take a hit with the expected arrival of top prospect Sal Stewart, who came through the system as a third baseman but has been introduced to second base this season.

  • Jordan Lawlar SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: In lineup against right-hander

    Lawlar started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.

    Lawlar was back in the lineup after getting a day off Saturday. The right-handed batter has made two starts since his recent call-up, once against a lefty and Sunday's start against a righty. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said over the weekend that he will mix-and-match Lawlar and Blaze Alexander at third base against righties but will use Lawlar against all lefties. He had a couple more strikeouts Sunday, upping his count to 14 over 30 plate appearances (46.7 percent) this season.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: DH again

    Marte started at designated hitter for a third consecutive game and went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.

    It appears manager Torey Lovullo is managing Marte, who has no reported injury. Tender hamstrings have been a recurring feature throughout Marte's career, and he missed a month of action earlier this season because of a hamstring issue. Having him DH appears to be a ploy that can get his bat in the lineup while also giving younger players, like Jordan Lawlar and Blaze Alexander, plate appearances.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Swats game-winning homer

    Sosa went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Yankees.

    The Chicago infielder gave his team a lead it didn't surrender with a 418-foot solo shot off New Yorker reliever Tim Hill in the eighth. The long ball caps a breakout power month for Sosa in August, as he hit .241 with eight homers, 20 RBI and 13 runs scored in 27 games. The 25-year-old should continue to occupy a key lineup spot thanks to his 18 homers, 61 RBI, 45 runs scored and .735 OPS through 457 total plate appearances.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Gets on base four times in loss

    Holliday went 1-for-2 with an RBI double, three walks, one stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 13-2 loss to the Giants.

    Holliday prevented the Orioles from being shut out when he hit an RBI double in the ninth inning. He's gone 6-for-14 (.429) over his last four games while adding three extra-base hits and two steals in that span. The 21-year-old is up to 14 steals on 23 attempts while adding 15 home runs, 51 RBI, 62 runs scored, 19 doubles, three triples and a .246/.313/.384 slash line through 128 games this season.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | TB

    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.
