Gage Workman 3B | DET
Tigers' Gage Workman: Clubs home run Thursday
Workman went 2-for-4 with a double and a three-run home run in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Mets.
Making the start at second base, Workman went deep in the top of the first inning against Nolan McLean. Workman has only appeared in four games for the Tigers since getting recalled from Triple-A Toledo earlier this month, but he's already gone deep twice and is now sporting a 1.455 OPS. The 26-year-old could push for a larger role if he stays hot, though he also committed his second error of the year Thursday, and he'll need to hold his own defensively to stay in the lineup.

Jake Burger 1B | TEX
Rangers' Jake Burger: Homers in four-RBI effort
Burger went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 win over Arizona.
Burger matched a season high in RBI on Wednesday, knocking multiple hits for the ninth time this year as well. The 30-year-old first baseman hasn't been all that effective at the plate overall in 2026, but the Rangers are lacking viable alternatives at the cold corner to push Burger for action on a consistent basis. Through 159 at-bats, Burger is hitting .226 with seven homers, five doubles and 27 RBI.

Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Still running wild
Ramirez went 0-for-2 with a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Angels.
The Guardians ran wild against the battery of Reid Detmers and Sebastian Rivero, going 5-for-5 on steal attempts, with Ramirez and Angel Martinez pilfering two each. Ramirez re-took the major-league lead for stolen bases with the performance, as he's racked up 18 steals in 45 games to go along with a sluggish .207/.340/.366 slash line, six homers, 16 RBI and 26 runs.

Royce Lewis 3B | MIN
Twins' Royce Lewis: Getting Wednesday off
Lewis isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Miami.
Lewis will grab a seat on the bench to begin Wednesday's contest after going 2-for-13 with an RBI, two runs scored and a steal across his last four starts. Tristan Gray will cover the hot corner and bat ninth.

Coby Mayo 3B | BAL
Orioles' Coby Mayo: Clubs decisive homer
Mayo went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and a walk in a 3-2 victory versus the Yankees on Monday.
Mayo wasn't originally slated to be in the Baltimore's lineup, but he was a late addition after Samuel Basallo was scratched due to a knee injury. The swap ended up working out for the Orioles, as Mayo produced the team's only runs with a three-run blast to left field in the seventh inning to erase a 2-0 deficit. Mayo had recorded just one RBI over his previous 13 games coming into Monday, going 4-for-35 at the plate over that stretch. He'll look to use Monday's big hit as a catalyst for improved production.

Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU
Astros' Isaac Paredes: Tallies three hits in defeat
Paredes went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 3-1 loss against the Mariners.
Paredes reached base three times and drove in the Astros' lone run with a single to left field in the fifth inning. The 27-year-old has been racking up hits at a strong clip, batting .345 with a homer, three doubles, seven RBI and seven runs over his past 15 games. Overall, the infielder is slashing .271/.362/.391 with three homers, seven doubles, 17 RBI and 16 runs across 37 games this season.

Coby Mayo 3B | BAL
Orioles' Coby Mayo: Late addition to lineup
Mayo has been inserted into the Orioles' lineup for Monday's game versus the Yankees in place of Samuel Basallo (knee), Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Mayo was slated to ride the bench for the second day in a row, but he's been granted a reprieve. The 24-year-old is just 4-for-35 with a 0:14 BB:K over his previous 13 contests.
