  • Brian Anderson RF | ATL

    Marlins' Brian Anderson: Notches three hits as strong debut continues

    Anderson went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a pair of runs scored in the Marlins' 10-2 rout of the Braves on Saturday.

    The top prospect continues to thrive in an everyday role for Miami, as he now holds a .275/.352/.388 slash line in 24 games this season. Anderson certainly has proven his worth, but with Martin Prado (knee) likely manning the hot corner again in 2018, the 24-year-old will have to make quite the case during spring training if he wants to carve out a role in the big leagues at the start of next season.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Back on bench Saturday

    Segura is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

    Gordon Beckham will man shortstop as Ben Gamel leads off against right-hander Ricky Nolasco. Segura just returned to the Mariners' lineup Friday after missing four games with a finger injury, finishing 3-for-3 with a double and a stolen base. There has been no word of any kind of setback with the finger -- the Mariners just have no reason to push it at this stage of the game.

  • Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Out of Saturday's lineup

    Candelario is out of Saturday's lineup against the Twins.

    He returned from a wrist injury Friday, but heads back to the bench in the penultimate game of the season. Nick Castellanos will start at third base and hit third.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Nationals' Anthony Rendon: Out of Saturday's lineup

    Rendon is out of Saturday's lineup against the Pirates, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

    Most of the other regulars are starting in this one, but Rendon will get a chance to rest after starting the last four games and notching five hits in 14 at-bats over that stretch. Wilmer Difo gets the start at third base and will hit third.

  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Rays' Evan Longoria: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Longoria is out of the lineup against Baltimore on Saturday.

    Despite homering Friday, Longoria will receive a day off following four straight starts. In his place, Daniel Robertson will pick up a start at the hot corner.

  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Rays' Evan Longoria: Smacks 20th home run in win

    Longoria went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 7-0 win over the Orioles.

    Longoria went deep for the second time in the last six contests and reached the 20-homer mark for the fifth consecutive season. The 31-year-old has seen a general power downturn in 2017, but he's at least enjoyed a bit of a resurgence in that department in September. After blasting just one round tripper in August, he's tripled that figure this month.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Royals' Mike Moustakas: Turns in three-hit showing Friday

    Moustakas went 3-for-4 in Friday's 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

    With only three home runs in 82 at-bats in September, Moustakas' power production has dipped down the stretch, but it's still been enough for him to establish a new franchise record with 38 long balls on the campaign. The third baseman is at least helping fantasy owners down the stretch in the batting-average department, with his three hits Friday bringing his mark up to .324 over his last 10 contests.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Continues September hot streak

    Moncada went 2-for-4 in Friday's 10-1 loss to the Indians.

    Moncada's wobbly start in the majors when he was called up in July is a distant memory thanks to a very productive finish to the season. The rookie's hitting .313/.375/.537 with five home runs, 11 RBI and 18 runs scored over his last 19 games. The future is now for Moncada, who will return to the majors for the start of 2018 as the White Sox's starting second baseman.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Indians' Jose Ramirez: Perfect at plate in big win Friday

    Ramirez went 3-for-3 with two runs scored, two RBI and a walk in Cleveland's 10-1 victory over the White Sox on Friday.

    The infielder was the catalyst for the Indians' offense in this one, helping the team chase White Sox starter Mike Pelfrey in the third inning. Ramirez now has 55 doubles and a .953 OPS on the season, thanks in part to the .411/.451/.889 slash line he's produced in his past 30 games.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Drives in three in Friday's win

    Bregman went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's victory over the Red Sox.

    The young infielder provided all the offense for Houston in this one, as his RBI single in the third and his two-run shot in the fifth were enough to outpace the stymied Red Sox offense. Bregman has a 1.275 OPS during his current seven-game hitting streak and now holds a .287/.355/.480 slash line on the season.
