  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Productive in Thursday's win

    McMahon went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two additional RBI and two total runs scored in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Astros.

    McMahon logged his second straight multi-hit effort. He had RBI singles in the second and eighth innings, sandwiched around a solo shot in the fifth. He's still batting just .243 since he was traded to the Yankees, logging 10 extra-base hits and 15 RBI over 35 games with the team. Overall, the third baseman has a .223/.321/.400 slash line with 19 homers, 50 RBI, 57 runs scored and two stolen bases across 135 games between the Yankees and the Rockies.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Cracks 27th homer in loss

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Rays.

    Ramirez crushed his 27th homer of the year and his first since Aug. 19 in Arizona. It's been another excellent campaign for the All-Star switch hitter, who's aiming to notch consecutive 30-homer, 30-steal seasons. Through 507 at-bats, Ramirez is batting .280 with 25 doubles, 71 RBI, 86 runs scored and 36 stolen bases.

  • Luis Rengifo 2B | MIL

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Early homer not enough

    Rengifo went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

    Rengifo made his mark early with a first-inning homer off Noah Cameron, but the Angels proceeded to squander the lead by allowing four solo shots. This was Rengifo's first multi-hit effort since Aug. 10, which was also the date of his last long ball. He hit just .196 with one extra-base hit, a triple, over the 19 games between homers. For the season, the versatile 28-year-old has posted a .247/.299/.348 slash line with eight homers, 36 RBI, 51 runs scored and eight stolen bases across a career-high 129 games.

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Ends power drought Wednesday

    Barger went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's win over the Reds.

    The 25-year-old chased Zack Littell from the game with a two-run blast in the fifth inning, tying the game at 5-5 after the Blue Jays had fallen into an early 5-0 hole. It was Barger's 19th homer of the season but his first since Aug. 10, snapping an 18-game drought in which he'd limped to a .148/.200/.180 slash line with only two RBI.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Fields grounders, runs in outfield

    Paredes (hamstring) fielded grounders and did some running in the outfield at Daikin Park on Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Astros manager Joe Espada said that Paredes had follow-up MRI on his right hamstring strain Tuesday, and while Espada didn't reveal those results, Paredes' workout suggests he got good news from the imaging. Paredes suffered a torn right hamstring shortly after the All-Star break but opted to forgo surgery and will attempt to return before the end of the regular season.

  • Orioles' Emmanuel Rivera: Filling in for Westburg

    Rivera will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Padres.

    He'll draw his third consecutive start at the hot corner and looks like he'll have an opportunity to play on a frequent basis until the Orioles get either of Jordan Westburg (ankle) or Tyler O'Neill (wrist) back from the injured list. Rivera has been running hot at the plate since being called up from Triple-A Norfolk last Wednesday, going 6-for-17 with six RBI.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Closing in on rehab assignment

    Westburg (ankle) is expected to begin a rehab assignment within the next week, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Westburg's recovery from a right ankle sprain started out slowly, but he's made notable progress of late and is almost ready for game action. The infielder should be ready for activation from the 10-day injured list by mid-September as long as he continues to move in a positive direction.

  • Cody Freeman SS | TEX

    Rangers' Cody Freeman: Claiming third straight start

    Freeman will start at second base and bat sixth Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

    Freeman will draw his third consecutive start at the keystone and appears to have at least temporarily emerged as the Rangers' preferred option at the position over Ezequiel Duran, with Josh Smith having shifted over from second base to cover shortstop in the absence of Corey Seager (appendectomy). Since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Aug. 17, Freeman is slashing .250/.282/.444 with two home runs, one double, two walks, six RBI and five runs over 12 games.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Resting up Wednesday

    Jung is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Ezequiel Duran will fill in at third base while Jung receives a breather for the day game. Jung had started in each of the Rangers' last 11 contests, slashing .400/.413/.622 with two home runs, nine runs and eight RBI during that span.

  • Orioles' Emmanuel Rivera: Drives in four

    Rivera went 2-for-5 with four RBI in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Padres.

    Rivera took care of business with a pair of two-run singles to account for a majority of the Orioles' runs in this win. He has gone 6-for-17 (.353) over five games since his most recent call-up Aug. 27. He's sharing third base with Jeremiah Jackson for now, though both players figure to see their chances drop once Jordan Westburg (ankle) is able to return. Over 94 plate appearances in the majors this year, Rivera is slashing .253/.309/.287 with no home runs, three doubles, nine RBI, three runs scored and one stolen base.
