Rafael Devers 1B | SF
Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Delivers four-hit performance
Devers went 4-for-6 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 13-12 loss to the Orioles.
Devers' first four-hit game of the year marked his fourth multi-hit output in the last eight contests, and the 26-year-old is hitting .333 (12-for-36) with six doubles, three RBI, six runs and a steal during that span. However, he hasn't notched a home run in 18 games, leaving him stuck on 29 long balls on the campaign. Devers is now slashing .272/.343/.505 with 92 RBI and 80 runs across 580 plate appearances this season.

Zack Gelof 3B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Continues to shine
Gelof went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Saturday in a loss to the Rangers.
Gelof was responsible for all of Oakland's run output in the contest, drilling a game-tying two-run shot in the seventh inning. He finished with multiple hits for the sixth time in his past eight games, a span during which he's batting 12-for-34 (.353) with four RBI and five runs scored. The only thing that had been missing of late was the long ball -- prior to Saturday's homer, Gelof hadn't gone deep since Aug. 24, a stretch of 13 contests.

Gunnar Henderson SS | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Stays hot Saturday
Henderson went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 13-12 win over the Red Sox.
Henderson has six extra-base hits and nine RBI over his last six contests, and he's gone hitless just once in that span. The infielder is up to 24 homers, 74 RBI, nine stolen bases and 83 runs scored while slashing .254/.326/.486 through 130 contests. Henderson has five homers over his last 20 games and should continue to provide solid power as the Orioles look to win the AL East.

Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Homers in loss
Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Angels.
Ramirez ended an 11-game homer drought with the first-inning blast. In that span, the third baseman hit just .205 with three extra-base hits. He's up to 22 homers, 73 RBI, 79 runs scored, 23 stolen bases and a .275/.349/.479 slash line through 137 contests this season. Ramirez continues to bat in the heart of the order as Cleveland's most dangerous hitter.

Reds' Noelvi Marte: Avoids concussion, is day-to-day
Marte (face) has avoided a concussion and is considered day-to-day, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Marte was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals after being hit in the face with a ball during pregame. He was treated for a cut and a bruise. He did not require any stitches, though, and precautionary concussion testing came back clean. "There's a chance he's back pretty soon," Reds manager David Bell said after Saturday's loss to St. Louis. Cincinnati is off Monday, so it's possible the team will hold Marte out until Tuesday just to be safe.

Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA
White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Dealing with sore knee
Moncada aggravated his right knee injury on a swing during Saturday's loss to the Tigers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
It's not clear when Moncada initially hurt the knee, but evidently he made it worse while in the batter's box Saturday and was icing in postgame. Whether the injury is possibly more than a day-to-day situation isn't known. Moncada did finish Saturday's contest, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.

Reds' Noelvi Marte: Scratched from lineup
Marte was scratched from Cincinnati's lineup ahead of Saturday's game against St. Louis, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Marte was playing catch with Elly De La Cruz before the game and got hit in the face by a throw when he wasn't paying attention. Spencer Steer will move to third base in Marte's absence, and Alejo Lopez will cover second base Saturday. Marte should be considered day-to-day until the Reds provide more information.

Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU
Rays' Isaac Paredes: Exits with bruised hand
Paredes was removed from Saturday's game against Seattle with a right hand contusion, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.
Paredes took a pitch off his right hand in the fourth inning of Saturday's contest and had to be removed by a trainer. Luckily, Paredes escaped with just a bruise, avoiding what could have easily been a worse injury. He's officially listed as day-to-day.
