Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Leaves with hamstring injury
Marte was removed from Sunday's win over the Rockies in the ninth inning with tightness in his left hamstring after running the bases. The severity is unclear.
Marte has oft-injured hamstrings, and the Diamondbacks are expected to evaluate the second baseman ahead of Monday's series opener in San Francisco. Marte injured a hamstring in June and was limited to DH-only duty for about a month before playing the field again after the All-Star break.

Amed Rosario 3B | NYY
Guardians' Amed Rosario: Homers, steals base in win
Rosario went 3-for-4 with a homer, three runs, two RBI, a stolen base, a walk and a strikeout during Sunday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.
Rosario produced plenty of runs during the Guardians' three-game series in Toronto, logging four runs and four RBI over the matchups against the Blue Jays. The 26-year-old has showcased increased power since the start of August, slashing .268/.293/.536 with four runs, 14 RBI and 10 runs over 13 games during that time.

Harold Castro 2B | KC
Tigers' Harold Castro: Hits home run Sunday
Castro went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the White Sox.
Castro hit his fifth home run of the season in the ninth inning against Chicago reliever Kendall Graveman. The utility player is one of the few Detroit players making regular contact this year, as he's now batting a solid .286. Castro has some fantasy upside when he's in the lineup, though he's mostly a singles hitter who doesn't steal a ton of bases, which caps his potential.

Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC
Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Tallies three hits Sunday
Hoerner went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Reds.
Hoerner has been locked in lately, as he's batting .400 over his last eight games with a home run, three runs scored and five RBI. The hot streak has pushed his season average up to .302. Hoerner profiled as a good contact hitter as a prospect, and he's mostly delivered on that potential during his time with the Cubs. If the 25-year-old can develop a little more power moving forward, he could see his fantasy stock make a big climb.

Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL
Giants' Thairo Estrada: Tallies homer, theft
Estrada went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in an 8-7 win against the Pirates on Sunday.
Estrada singled and stole second in the third inning and launched a walkoff two-run home run off Pittsburgh reliever Wil Crowe in the ninth. Since returning from a concussion Aug. 7, Estrada has batted 9-for-27 with a double and two home runs across seven games. He's one of 10 players to tally at least 11 long balls and 16 stolen bases.

Reds' Jonathan India: Hoping to avoid injured list
India (lower leg) is not expected to require a stint on the injured list, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
India was spotted limping Sunday, but he is considered day-to-day and should avoid any sort of extended absence. India will sit out Sunday for a second straight day, though, and it remains to be seen if he will be ready to return to action for Monday's series opener against the Phillies.
