  • Alex Bregman 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Launches homer in loss

    Bregman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees.

    Bregman put the Red Sox on the board with his fifth-inning homer, reducing the deficit to 4-1. The blast was his first one since Aug. 12, ending a drought of 27 games. During that span, Bregman slashed .214/.305/.262 with seven RBI.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Knocks 43rd long ball

    Caminero went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 5-4 victory versus the Cubs.

    Caminero came up big in the eighth inning, blasting a 423-foot solo shot to center field to tie the score 4-4. The homer was his fourth through 12 contests in September and his 43rd overall this season. Among AL hitters, only Cal Raleigh (53) and Aaron Judge (47) have gone deep more than Caminero.

  • Nathan Eaton RF | BOS

    Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Breaks up no-hit bid

    Eaton started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Yankees.

    Eaton busted up a no-hit bid by New York pitching with a seventh-inning home run, one of two hits Boston mustered on the evening. He's been part of the crew helping to fill a void in right field, along with Nick Sogard and Rob Refsnyder. That void will eventually be filled by Wilyer Abreu (calf), who is running at 85 percent, per MLB.com. Abreu could return during next week's series against the Athletics beginning Sept. 16. Since being called up from Triple-A Worcester in August, Eaton is batting .278 with a .750 OPS, one home run, two RBI and six runs scored over 15 games.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: To take live BP

    Paredes (hamstring) will take live batting practice Saturday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Paredes is making progress in his recovery from a torn right hamstring and will hit off live pitching Saturday. The Astros are hoping to get Paredes back before the end of the regular season, but the third baseman will likely require a lengthy minor-league rehab stint before being activated.

  • Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Kicking off rehab assignment

    Westburg (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    It will be Westburg's first game action since he sprained his right ankle Aug. 18. Barring any setbacks, he should be ready to return to the Orioles' active roster sometime next week. Emmanuel Rivera has been filling in at third base of late for the O's with Westburg sidelined.

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Back in starting nine

    McKinstry (back) will start at third base and bat eighth in Friday's game against the Marlins.

    McKinstry missed each of the previous three contests with a back issue, but he's ready to give it a go in Friday's series opener. With McKinstry handling third base, Colt Keith will be used in the designated-hitter slot.

  • Addison Barger 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Out of Toronto lineup

    Barger is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Orioles.

    The Blue Jays haven't faced many left-handers lately, but the left-handed-hitting Barger has been out of the lineup each of the last three times they've gone up against a southpaw. George Springer will be in right field and Ernie Clement will play third base Friday versus Trevor Rogers and the Orioles.

  • Miguel Vargas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Second straight start since return

    Vargas went 0-for-2 with a run scored, a walk and a stolen base Thursday against the Rays.

    Vargas started his second consecutive game at third base since being activated from the injured list Wednesday, while hitting sixth and fifth in the order. He's reached base and scored in both contests, and he also swiped his fifth base of the season Thursday. Vargas will look to keep the strong close to his season going, as he's hit .277 with four home runs, 17 RBI and 27 runs scored across 112 at-bats since the All-Star break.

  • Zach McKinstry 3B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Sitting again Thursday

    McKinstry (back) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

    McKinstry will miss a third consecutive start due to a back issue that flared up shortly before Tuesday's contest. Javier Baez will pick up a start at shortstop and bat ninth while McKinstry recovers.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Cracks 42nd homer

    Caminero went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the White Sox.

    Caminero has begun September by logging at least one hit in eight of his first nine contests of the month. The 22-year-old slugger has positioned himself as one of Tampa Bay's franchise cornerstones with a breakout 2025 campaign, hitting .263 with 42 homers, 105 RBI, 87 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 548 at-bats. It's worth pointing out Caminero owns a potent .976 OPS at home versus a .710 OPS on the road this year, so he's significantly benefitted from having half of his outings at hitter-friendly George M. Steinbrenner Field.
