Gelof went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in an extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays on Monday.

Gelof's third multi-hit effort in the last four games included his 10th stolen base in the first 11 attempts of his career. The rookie's pair of knocks Monday were both singles, but Gelof has impressively laced more than half (25) of his 48 hits thus far for extra bases, making him an extremely well-rounded fantasy contributor right from the onset of his career.

Freeman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 20-6 loss to the Twins.

Freeman has homered twice over his last four games, though that's in a stretch dating back to Aug. 26. The young infielder isn't seeing steady playing time as the Guardians instead lean on veterans while trying to compete for the AL Central lead. Freeman has added nine RBI, 15 runs scored and three stolen bases while slashing .238/.306/.354 over 126 plate appearances this season.

Bregman went 4-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 13-6 win over the Rangers.

Bregman's been red hot for over a week now, going 18-for-37 (.486) with nine RBI and a 1.352 OPS in his last nine games -- Monday's four-hit effort was his sixth multi-hit performance in that span. Overall, Bregman's slash line is up to .272/.370/.451 with 22 homers, 92 RBI and 89 runs scored across 619 plate appearances on the campaign.

Henderson went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a double Monday in a 6-3 win against the Angels.

Baltimore held a narrow one-run lead when Henderson came up to bat with a pair of runners on base and two outs in the seventh inning. The young shortstop came through with a three-run blast to right field that essentially put the game away. Henderson had previously knocked a double, so he finished with his third multi-hit game through four contests in September. He's gone 6-for-19 with three extra-base hits and five RBI over that span.

Lewis went 3-for-4 with a home run, six RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over Cleveland.

Lewis blew things open with a grand slam in the second inning followed by a two-run single in the sixth. He's gone deep seven times in the last 12 games with three of those being grand slams. During that stretch, he's gone 16-for-50 (.320) with a whopping 22 RBI. On the season, Lewis now owns a stellar .317/.363/.545 slash line with 16 extra-base hits through 44 games.

Garcia went 3-for-4 with one double, one RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 12-1 victory over the White Sox.

Garcia extended his current hit streak to five games with his Labor Day effort. The Royals rookie has cemented himself as the everyday third baseman and leadoff hitter while displaying his contact and speed skills. Entering Monday, Garcia had slashed .272/.324/.326 with 11 RBI and five steals over the previous 30 days.

Walls is absent from the Rays' lineup Monday versus the Red Sox due to a groin injury, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls just returned Saturday after missing more than six weeks with an oblique strain and he lasted just two games before suffering another injury. The Rays are hopeful that he'll be able to avoid an IL stint this time around, but he'll be down for at least a day or two. Vidal Brujan is at shortstop Monday.

Jung (thumb) is hoping to take dry swings before the end of this week, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Jung has been taking one-handed swings in the batting cage and fielded some grounders Monday. He's at least a couple weeks away from game action and is expected to need some rehab at-bats, so Jung isn't going to have much runway for regular-season contests. He's been out since early August with a left thumb fracture.

Paredes is absent from the lineup for Monday's tilt versus the Red Sox, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Paredes had started each of the Rays' last 17 games but will get a breather for this one. Osleivis Basabe will be at the hot corner in his place Monday.

Garcia went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Red Sox.

After starting August hot, Garcia tailed off in the second half of the month. He's gone 11-for-50 (.220) across his last 14 games, though he's hit safely in four straight contests. The infielder reached the 20-steal mark Sunday -- solid work for the rookie, though he's not running quite as much as he did in the minors. He's added a .280/.326/.375 slash line with four home runs, 47 RBI, 45 runs scored, 18 doubles and three triples through 101 contests.
