  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Swats 12th homer

    Moncada went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, three runs scored and a walk in a 12-2 win over the Twins on Tuesday.

    The homer was Moncada's first of the month of September and his 12th of the season. The veteran third baseman is working toward ending the campaign on quite the high note. Across his last 81 plate appearances (23 games), Moncada is slashing .300/.395/.571 with 10 extra-base hits, 10 RBI and 13 runs scored to push his OPS up to .815 for the year.

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Battling back stiffness

    McKinstry was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Yankees due to upper-back stiffness.

    McKinstry lost what had been a six-game hitting streak during Sunday's contest, and his back will now force him to the bench for Tuesday's series opener. While he recovers, Trey Sweeney will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Could play rehab games this weekend

    Westburg (ankle) could begin a rehab assignment this weekend, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Previous updates on Westburg's recovery from a right ankle sprain suggested that he was likely to have begun playing in rehab games by now. While that hasn't happened, it appears to be around the corner. The infielder could be back on the Orioles' active roster sometime next week. He's been sidelined since late August.

  • Charles McAdoo 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Charles McAdoo: Strong second half for Fisher Cats

    McAdoo is slashing .278/.359/.498 with 13 home runs, 20 steals and a 26.1 percent strikeout rate in his last 67 games for Double-A New Hampshire.

    The 23-year-old corner infielder had a .550 OPS over his first 48 games this year for the Fisher Cats, so it's been a tale of two seasons for McAdoo. A third baseman by trade, McAdoo saw more time at first base (11 starts) than he had in previous seasons, so he'll have to at least produce enough offense to make up for poor defense at third base or a move to first base. He's up to 179 career games at Double-A, so the righty-hitting McAdoo should head to Triple-A for the start of the 2026 season.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Blasts two bombs in blowout win

    Lewis went 2-for-5 with a pair of two-run homers in Monday's win over the Angels.

    Lewis delivered a big night Monday, clubbing two home runs for his second multi-homer game of the year and first since July 20. It's been a challenging season overall for the 26-year-old, as injuries have limited both his availability and effectiveness. Through 88 games, the third baseman is slashing .237/.293/.406 with 16 doubles, 12 home runs, seven steals, 44 RBI and 33 runs.

  • Blue Jays' Orelvis Martinez: Shut down at Triple-A

    Triple-A Buffalo placed Martinez on its 7-day injured list Wednesday due to an unspecified injury.

    Martinez hadn't played since Aug. 31 due to the injury before Buffalo deactivated him. The 23-year-old had a brief cup of coffee in the majors last summer, but after being issued an 80-game suspension shortly after his promotion, Martinez hasn't resurfaced in Toronto. He's spent the entire 2025 season at Buffalo and hasn't made much of a case for a call-up while slashing just .176/.288/.348 with a 28.5 percent strikeout rate across 393 plate appearances.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Two more homers Sunday

    Suarez went 2-for-5 with a pair of homers and three total RBI in Sunday's 18-2 win over Atlanta.

    Suarez extended Seattle's lead to 11-1 with his first homer in the sixth inning before launching a 411-foot blast off position player Vidal Brujan in the ninth. Suarez has homered three times in his last two contests, giving him 45 long balls this season, four shy of his career high. The third baseman is slashing .238/.309/.550 with 109 RBI and 83 runs scored across 576 plate appearances between the Mariners and Diamondbacks this year.

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Taking seat against lefty

    Barger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    After starting the last three contests, Barger will hit the bench while the Yankees send southpaw Max Fried to the hill. Barger is slashing just .230/.278/.351 over 79 plate appearances versus lefties on the season.

  • Miguel Vargas 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Could return Tuesday

    Manager Will Venable said Saturday he "wouldn't be surprised" to see Vargas (hand) be activated from the 10-day injured list during a three-game series against the Rays that starts Tuesday.

    Vargas has been on the shelf since Aug. 29 due to a sprained left hand he sustained during a collision with a baserunner while playing first base. According to Venable, Vargas' rehab has been going well, and the 25-year-old could rejoin the active roster as soon as Tuesday.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Closing in on 40 steals

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a double, a stolen base, a run scored and was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rays.

    The Guardians made Shane Baz pay for the HBP in the fourth inning, as Ramirez stole second base and scored Cleveland's first run. The stolen base was his first in 16 games and 37th of the season, putting him within reach of a second consecutive campaign with at least 40 steals.
