  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Amed Rosario: Clubs homer in loss

    Rosario went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox.

    Rosario got the Yankees on the board by taking Garrett Crochet deep in the fourth inning. Playing time has been sparse for Rosario since he returned from a collarbone SC joint sprain Aug. 19, as he has played in just eight games over the last nearly four weeks. Overall, he has a .287/.320/.450 slash line with six homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs scored and one stolen base over 59 contests between the Yankees and the Nationals. For now, Rosario doesn't look to be a threat to Ryan McMahon's starting role at third base.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Chance to return next weekend

    Astros general manager Dana Brown said that Paredes (hamstring) could be activated from the 60-day injured list during next weekend's series versus the Mariners, though Brown conceded that Paredes' return by that time "could be a long shot," Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Paredes has been on the shelf since July 20 due to a significant right hamstring strain, but because he's elected to forgo surgery, he still has a chance at making it back on the field before the end of the regular season. The 26-year-old has been steadily ramping up at the Astros' facility in Florida in recent weeks, taking part in hitting, running and defensive progressions and most notably facing hitters in live batting practice Saturday. Under normal circumstances, Paredes would likely require an extended rehab assignment prior to being activated, but with the Astros in tight battles in both the AL West and wild-card race, he could bypass a minor-league stint and instead get built up through live at-bats prior to his reinstatement. Brown noted that because Paredes is further behind with his running and defensive work than his hitting at this stage of his rehab program, Paredes would be used as a designated hitter upon his return from the IL.

  • Royce Lewis 3B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Tallies pair of steals

    Lewis went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    The former first-overall pick reached double figures in steals for the first time in his four-year career, as he notched his ninth and 10th stolen bases of the season. Lewis nabbed second off Arizona starter Nabil Crismatt in the second before returning in the eighth to swipe second against reliever Anthony DeSclafani. Through 356 total plate appearances, Lewis now sports a .237/.289/.395 slash line with 12 homers, 45 RBI and 35 runs scored.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Drives in three runs

    Clement went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win against the Orioles.

    Clement knocked a two-run double in the fourth inning and later added an RBI single in the seventh. It was his second straight game with multiple hits and the third such performance in his last five appearances. Clement improved his season slash line to .279/.314/.400 with 41 extra-base hits over 542 plate appearances.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    Angels' Yoan Moncada: Exits early Sunday

    Moncada exited Sunday's contest against the Mariners in the fifth inning due to left ankle soreness.

    Moncada was removed from the game prior to the bottom of the fifth, ultimately being replaced in the field by Oswald Peraza. He finished his day 0-for-2 with a strikeout at the plate, and Moncada can be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's day off prior to beginning a three-game set in Milwaukee on Tuesday.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Taking seat against southpaw

    McMahon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    With ace southpaw Garrett Crochet on the bump for Boston, McMahon will head to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Trent Grisham and Austin Wells. McMahon's absence will open up third base for Amed Rosario, who will bat fifth.

  • Nathan Eaton LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Idle for series finale

    Eaton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Eaton will take a seat for the series finale after he made starts out of the outfield in each of the last four games while going 5-for-12 with a home run, a double, a walk, a stolen base, two RBI and three runs. Boston will go with a starting outfield of Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Rob Refsnyder from left to right Sunday.

  • Orioles' Emmanuel Rivera: Heading to bench Sunday

    Rivera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Rivera started at third base in each of the last three games, but he could fade into more of a part-time role after Tyler O'Neill was reinstated from the injured list Friday. Though O'Neill served as the Orioles' designated hitter in his first two games upon his return, he may see more time in right field moving forward, which would likely result in Jeremiah Jackson poaching starts from Rivera at third base. Since being promoted from Triple-A Norfolk on Aug. 27, Rivera has slashed a weak .265/.265/.286 over 13 games.

  • 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.
