  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Knocks in two

    Teel went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double, two RBIs and a run scored Monday against the Guardians.

    Teel broke the game open in the sixth inning with a two-run double, helping the White Sox rally for six runs. He has taken a boom-or-bust approach at the plate in 10 games since returning from the injured list, striking out at a 37.5 percent clip but also collecting two home runs, six RBI and four total runs scored in that span.

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Homers in second straight game

    Wells went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against Minnesota in an 8-3 win Monday.

    Wells struck out twice over his first three plate appearances but ended on a high note with a solo shot to right field in the ninth inning. The long ball was his second in as many days following an 11-game span without any extra-base hits. Despite the mini power surge, the backstop has also struck out four times across those two games and is batting a meager .074 (2-for-27) across his past nine contests. It's been a tough campaign for Wells, as he's notched an ugly .180/.278/.315 slash line through 115 games.

  • Cal Raleigh C | SEA

    Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Clubs three-run homer in loss

    Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Angels.

    Raleigh clobbered a three-run homer off Reid Detmers in the fourth inning to get the Mariners on the board. The catcher is slashing .255/.352/.468 with two homers, nine RBI and 11 runs in 12 September contests. It's been an incredibly disappointing 2026 campaign for Raleigh, as he's hitting .181/.294/.371 with 22 homers, 63 RBI, 46 runs and two stolen bases across 116 games.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Sitting again Monday

    Basallo isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

    Basallo just received a day off Saturday, and he's started only eight of 13 games this month. Since returning from the injured list Aug. 19, Basallo is batting just .150 with a .467 OPS across 68 trips to the plate. Carlos Narvaez is starting at catcher and batting ninth Monday.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Breaks out with solo shot

    Wells went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Mets.

    Wells' first hit since Sept. 2 was a big one, his first homer since a two-homer outburst Aug. 30 against the Red Sox. Despite a rough season at the dish, the left-handed-hitting backstop remains the Yankees' primary catcher. He's slashing a paltry .179/.279/.307 with 11 homers, seven doubles, 29 RBI and 56 runs scored over 360 plate appearances.

  • Royals' Carter Jensen: Taking seat against southpaw

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

    Jensen started the previous five games -- going 5-for-19 with three doubles and two homers -- and will receive a day off with lefty Payton Tolle pitching for the Red Sox. Luke Maile will step in behind the plate for the series finale in Boston.

  • Liam Hicks C | TB

    Rays' Liam Hicks: Not starting Sunday

    Hicks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Hicks has a .646 OPS through nine games in September and will hit the bench Sunday after starting the first two games of the series versus Houston. Nick Fortes is working behind the plate and batting ninth in the finale.

  • Jonah Heim C | ATH

    Athletics' Jonah Heim: Idle Sunday

    Heim is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Mariners on Sunday.

    Heim will get a breather after going 2-for-8 over the first two games of the series against Seattle. Brian Serven will start behind home plate and bat eighth while forming a battery with southpaw Jacob Lopez.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Sitting Sunday

    Langeliers is not in the Athletics' starting lineup against the Mariners on Sunday.

    Langeliers made his return from the IL on Saturday, going 1-for-3 with an RBI in a 19-1 loss to Seattle. Max Muncy will serve as the designated hitter Sunday while Brian Serven starts behind home plate.

  • Royals' Carter Jensen: Clubs 24th homer

    Jensen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Red Sox.

    Jensen laced a slider from Ranger Suarez down the right-field line to get the Royals on the board in the sixth inning. The young catcher has been on fire at the plate, slashing .317/.432/.800 with seven homers, 14 RBI, 16 runs and a stolen base over his past 16 contests. On the year, Jensen is slashing .231/.318/.452 with 24 homers, 71 RBI, 73 runs and two stolen bases in 138 games.
