  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Goes deep again

    Crawford went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rangers.

    Crawford took Jacob deGrom yard in the fourth inning, marking the shortstop's ninth homer of the campaign. He's swatted a long ball in two of his last three games, and Crawford has now scored a run in four consecutive contests. However, he hasn't had a multi-hit game since July 20. Since then, he's gone 6-for-33 (.182) at the dish.

  • Colt Emerson SS | SEA

    Mariners' Colt Emerson: Bumped up to Double-A

    The Mariners will promote Emerson from High-A Everett to Double-A Arkansas during the upcoming week, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

    Emerson will make the leap to Double-A after slashing .281/.388/.453 with 11 home runs and six stolen bases over 90 games with Everett this season. The shortstop is considered to be among Seattle's top prospects.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Remaining on bench Sunday

    Meidroth (thumb) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Meidroth will miss out on a third consecutive start while he continues to tend to a bruised right thumb after being hit by a pitch Wednesday. Josh Rojas will spell Meidroth at second base and will bat ninth Sunday.

  • Darell Hernaiz SS | ATH

    Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Stepping in as everyday shortstop

    Hernaiz will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    With Jacob Wilson (forearm) stuck on the injured list, Hernaiz appears to have taken over as the Athletics' primary shortstop. He'll collect his fifth straight start Sunday after going 5-for-14 with a solo home run over the previous four contests.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Receiving Sunday off

    Rocchio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Rocchio will take a seat after he had started each of the Guardians' previous 24 games while slashing .287/.330/.475 with one home run, 15 RBI and nine runs. Daniel Schneemann will fill in at second base.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Re-enters starting nine

    Pena (hamstring) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Pena missed more than a month due to a small rib fracture before returning from the injured list Friday, only to exit the Astros' series-opening loss to the Red Sox early due to a right hamstring cramp. Fortunately for Pena, the setback appears to be a minor one, as he'll be back in action Sunday. After filling in at shortstop Saturday, the newly acquired Carlos Correa will shift back over to third base.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Continues rolling Saturday

    Story went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and three RBI in a 7-3 win against the Astros on Saturday.

    Story broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run blast to left field in the third inning and tacked on an RBI double in the seventh. The veteran shortstop has three home runs over his past four games and is batting an even .500 (7-for-14) with seven RBI during that span. Story is up to 18 home runs and 68 RBI on the season -- both of those totals are his highest since his 24-homer, 75-RBI campaign with Colorado in 2021.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Powers offense late in win

    Baez went 2-for-4 with a home run, a triple and four RBI in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Phillies.

    Baez did major damage late, launching a two-run homer off Zack Wheeler in the seventh inning before tacking on a two-run triple in the eighth. It was a much-needed spark from the 32-year-old, who had gone just 6-for-34 with one extra-base hit over his first 11 games out of the All-Star break. For the season, he's slashing .267/.298/.433 with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, 45 runs scored and four steals across 322 plate appearances.

  • Bo Bichette SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Three more hits in win

    Bichette went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Royals.

    All three knocks were singles, but it was still another strong performance from Bichette. Over 16 games since the All-Star break, the shortstop is batting .377 (25-for-69) with eight doubles, a homer, eight runs and 15 RBI.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Plays hero in Saturday's win

    Henderson went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

    The 24-year-old capped a four-run rally by the Orioles in the eighth inning by taking Caleb Thielbar deep, Henderson's 13th homer of the year. It's his sixth multi-hit performance in 16 games since the All-Star break, a stretch in which he's batting .316 (18-for-57) with six doubles, a triple, two home runs, four steals, 14 runs and 15 RBI.
