  • Brett Harris 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Brett Harris: Losing out on playing time

    Harris is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Harris is on the bench for the third time in four matchups against a right-handed starting pitcher. With the Athletics bringing Max Muncy back from the injured list Saturday, Harris doesn't look as though he'll have a path to an everyday role in the final week of the season.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Absent from lineup Sunday

    Lewis isn't in the starting lineup Sunday versus Cleveland.

    Lewis will take a seat amidst a strong September during which he's batted .274 with three homers, 10 RBI and nine stolen bases through 18 games. Ryan Fitzgerald is getting a turn at the hot corner in Lewis' stead Sunday.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Out of lineup Sunday

    Westburg is not starting against the Yankees on Sunday.

    Since being activated off the 10-day IL on Tuesday, Westburg had started five straight games, but he went just 1-for-20 with 10 strikeouts over that span. He'll get a day to reset Sunday while Jeremiah Jackson makes a start at the hot corner.

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Goes deep off bench Saturday

    McKinstry went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta.

    The veteran utility player appeared as a pinch hitter for Andy Ibanez in the sixth inning and promptly launched his 12th home run of the season. McKinstry has been a surprising source of offense all year, as the 12 long balls are already a new career high, as are his 49 RBI. McKinstry is also sporting a .769 OPS through 138 games, which is well ahead of his career .679 mark.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Clubs homer No. 30

    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Twins.

    The switch-hitting superstar provided the first run of the day when he took Joe Ryan deep in the first inning of the matinee, kicking off a combined 14-0 shellacking by the Guardians. The long ball was the 30th of the season for Ramirez -- the fourth time in his career he's reached that milestone, and the third time he's produced a 30-30 campaign. He's been a big part of the team's late playoff push, and over his last 17 games including the nightcap, Ramirez is slashing .313/.405/.625 with 11 of his 20 hits going for extra bases (six doubles, one triple, four homers).

  • Max Muncy 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: Activated from IL

    Muncy (hand) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Saturday's game against the Pirates.

    Muncy has been on the shelf since July 21 due to a hairline fracture at the base of the fourth metacarpal in his right hand and did not go on a rehab assignment, instead going through a hitting progression on the side. Zack Gelof (dislocated shoulder) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Muncy should get some starts at third base and the keystone over the final eight games of the season, although he is on the bench Saturday.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Homers in win

    Bregman went 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's 11-7 win over the Rays.

    Bregman homered for the second time this week, but he's struggled at the plate over the last several weeks. He has a .597 OPS with two homers and 10 RBI over the last 33 games.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Logs 40th steal

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, a steal and two runs scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

    Ramirez walked and scored in the first inning before he doubled and scored the go-ahead run in the eighth. He's scored runs in five consecutive games, crossing home plate seven times while going 6-for-18 with five walks, three steals, one home run and three RBI. Ramirez also stole a base in the eighth inning, upping his season total to 40, his second consecutive season with at least 40 steals.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Stealing bases at high rate

    Lewis went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and an RBI in Friday's 6-2 loss to Cleveland.

    Although it's been a lost season for the most part for Lewis -- he has a .680 OPS in 2025 -- it's certainly an encouraging sign to see how active he's been on the basepaths lately. The oft-injured third baseman has 11 of his 12 steals for the year over his last 25 outings, which signals that he's fully healthy as the campaign draws closer to an end. Lewis is flashing the upside that made him the No. 1 overall pick back in 2017, hitting .275 and slugging .461 with seven extra-base hits and 19 RBI over his last 102 at-bats.

  • Miguel Vargas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Cracks 15th homer

    Vargas went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 4-3 victory over San Diego.

    The Chicago infielder opened the contest's scoring with a 371-foot, two-run blast off Padres starter Dylan Cease in the first. Prior to this performance, Vargas had struggled over eight games since returning from a hand injury Sept. 10, batting .115 (3-for-26) with eight strikeouts and no walks. The 25-year-old is now slashing .228/.309/.397 with 73 runs scored and 55 RBI in 534 total plate appearances.
