Alex Bregman 3B | CHC
Astros' Alex Bregman: Drives in pair
Bregman went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 4-0 win over the Rays.
Bregman provided a two-RBI double in the sixth inning and now has an extra-base hit in three consecutive games. The performance continued a productive stretch, as he has maintained a .314 average with 10 RBI and six runs scored across his last 10 starts. Bregman will look to end the campaign on a strong note, and his .846 OPS across 603 plate appearances is his highest mark since 2019.

Gunnar Henderson SS | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Leading off Tuesday
Henderson will man third base and hit leadoff in Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Henderson hit no higher than cleanup over his first 18 appearances as a big leaguer, but manager Brandon Hyde decided to switch things up with the Orioles' offense looking for a spark, so the rookie will get a shot to show what he can do atop the order.

Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Records steal in win
Ramirez went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 11-4 win over the Twins.
Ramirez has logged two steals in his last three games and three in four attempts in September. For the season, he's up to 17 swiped bags in 24 tries. The third baseman recorded his first multi-hit effort in six contests Monday. He's posted a .279/.357/.525 slash line with 28 home runs, 113 RBI and 82 runs scored across 143 games this year.

Jeimer Candelario 3B | LAA
Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Not in Monday's lineup
Candelario isn't starting Monday against the Orioles.
Candelario went 0-for-3 with an RBI during Sunday's loss to the White Sox and will head to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Miguel Cabrera is serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup.

Zack Gelof 3B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Finishing year at Triple-A
The Athletics promoted Gelof from Double-A Midland to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.
Gelof, who appeared in three games for Las Vegas in 2021, will rejoin the Athletics' top affiliate after Midland's season concluded Sunday. Over 402 plate appearances at the Double-A level this season, Gelof slashed .271/.356/.438 with 13 home runs and nine stolen bases.

Taylor Walls SS | TB
Rays' Taylor Walls: Back on bench after three starts
Walls is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Walls closed out the Rays' weekend series with the Rangers by making three consecutive starts out of the middle infield while going 2-for-9 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two additional runs. Though he'll be on the bench Monday, Walls should see his opportunities pick up following the recent placement of Brandon Lowe (back) on the injured list. Walls will be vying for playing time at the keystone with Jonathan Aranda and Isaac Paredes.

Abraham Toro 1B | BOS
Mariners' Abraham Toro: Filling in for Suarez
Toro will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Angels.
He'll stick in the lineup for the third game in a row after going 2-for-7 with a double between the previous two contests. With Eugenio Suarez (finger) moving to the injured list Saturday, Toro looks like he'll settle in as the Mariners' everyday third baseman for the time being.

Tyler Freeman RF | COL
Guardians' Tyler Freeman: Picking up playing time
Freeman will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Twins, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
He'll pick up his third consecutive start in a row, all of which have come against right-handed pitchers. Through his first 72 big-league plate appearances, Freeman is slashing .254/.333/.302, but the Guardians may view that modest level of production as an upgrade over what the slumping Owen Miller is currently providing. Miller, who is on the bench for the fourth time in six games, owns a .579 OPS in the second half.

Josh Jung 3B | TEX
Rangers' Josh Jung: Homers in series finale
Jung went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two RBI and a strikeout during Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.
Although the Rangers struggled to generate much offensive production Sunday, Jung performed well with his first multi-hit performance since his major-league debut Sept. 9. The 24-year-old has recorded hits in eight of his first 10 games with the Rangers and has hit .250 with three home runs, three doubles, six RBI, four runs and a stolen base.

Rafael Devers 1B | SF
Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Drives in three runs
Devers went 4-for-6 with a double and three RBI in Sunday's 13-3 win over the Royals.
Devers knocked a two-run single in the fifth inning followed by another RBI single in the eighth. It's been an up-and-down September for the star third baseman; after three straight multi-hit games to begin the month, Devers hit just .216 over his next 10 games before Sunday's strong effort. He's now slashing .292/.351/.527 with 66 extra-base hits and 82 RBI through 556 plate appearances.
