  • Seiya Suzuki DH | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Tallies two hits in win

    Suzuki went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Pirates.

    Suzuki got off to a slow start coming out of the All-Star break, but he's been back in form lately. Over his last 10 games, the outfielder is slashing .281/.385/.438 with a home run, four RBI and four runs scored. Overall, Suzuki is tied with Pete Crow-Armstrong for the team lead in home runs with 27. Suzuki also leads the Cubs with 86 RBI this year.

  • Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Homers in loss

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Red Sox.

    Ramirez came alive late, smacking a solo homer in the seventh inning before singling and scoring again in the ninth. It marked his first long ball since Aug. 2, though he's hit safely in five of his past six games with four RBI and five runs scored in that span. On the year, the rookie is slashing .237/.286/.443 with 18 homers, 56 RBI, 53 runs scored and seven steals across 423 plate appearances.

  • Austin Hays LF | CIN

    Reds' Austin Hays: On bench Saturday

    Hays is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.

    Hays will take a seat for Saturday's contest, as Gavin Lux, TJ Friedl and Noelvi Marte fill the outfield from left to right. Hays had started in each of the Reds' last three games, going 3-for-19 with three runs scored and two RBI.

  • Starling Marte DH | NYM

    Mets' Starling Marte: Idle for third straight game

    Marte is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

    Marte is on the bench for a third straight game, signaling that the Mets are still viewing him as a part-time player. Though Marte should continue to rank as the Mets' preferred choice at designated hitter against left-handed pitching, manager Carlos Mendoza looks content to rotate a number of players at the DH spot versus righties.

  • Miguel Andujar RF | CIN

    Reds' Miguel Andujar: Keeps hitting

    Andujar went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 10-8 loss to Milwaukee.

    Andujar singled in his first two plate appearance and contributed to an early 8-1 lead that the Reds eventually squandered. A low-key trade deadline acquisition, Andujar has done nothing but hit since joining the club. He's slashing .387/.472/.742 with three home runs, two doubles, nine RBI and eight runs scored over 11 games in a Cincinnati uniform. Andujar's hit safely in seven consecutive starts while serving primarily as the DH and being deployed in the middle of the order.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Powers offense in win

    Yelich went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double, five RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 10-8 win over the Reds.

    Yelich fueled a huge Brewers comeback, driving in runs in four separate plate appearances and hitting what proved to be the game-winning homer in the sixth inning. The 33-year-old has been red hot in August, hitting safely in 10 of 12 contests with seven multi-hit efforts, seven extra-base hits, 17 RBI and 16 runs scored. On the season, he's slashing .272/.349/.476 with 25 home runs, 86 RBI, 71 runs scored and 15 steals across 490 plate appearances.

  • Kyle Schwarber DH | PHI

    Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Surpasses 100 RBI in win

    Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Nationals.

    Schwarber broke a 2-2 tie with a three-run blast in the seventh inning, reaching 100 RBI for the third straight season. Though he's just 6-for-37 over his past 10 games, five of those knocks have gone for extra bases. The lefty slugger now leads the majors with 101 RBI while slashing .250/.373/.582 with 43 homers, 83 runs scored and 10 steals across 541 plate appearances, keeping him firmly in the National League MVP mix.

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | SD

    Padres' Ryan O'Hearn: Getting break Friday

    O'Hearn isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    O'Hearn will get a breather Friday after going 2-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored during Wednesday's win over San Francisco. Jose Iglesias will enter the lineup as San Diego's designated hitter and bat seventh.

  • Starling Marte DH | NYM

    Mets' Starling Marte: Sitting again Friday

    Marte is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

    It's the second straight game on the bench for Marte, who prior to Thursday started four of the previous five contests and went 7-for-17 with two homers during that stretch. Mark Vientos is batting sixth as the designated hitter in the series opener versus Seattle righty Luis Castillo.

  • Pavin Smith DH | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Plays defense on rehab assignment

    Smith (oblique) started at first base in the first two games of his rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno, going 2-for-8 with a double and a run scored.

    Smith was on the field Tuesday for seven innings and Wednesday for eight innings before getting a day off Thursday. He could be activated ahead of the Diamondbacks' next homestand, which begins Monday, but it's unclear what role Smith will have for a team that's punted on the 2025 season. Tyler Locklear, who was acquired from Seattle in the Eugenio Suarez deal, has been the primary first baseman since joining Arizona. As for DH, the Diamondbacks are giving prospect Adrian Del Castillo, a lefty batter like Smith, a long look there.
