    Story went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Orioles.

    The shortstop took Kyle Bradish deep in the second inning, giving Lucas Giolito all the run support he would need. It's the third time this season Story has recorded a homer and a steal in the same game, with two of those performances coming in the second half of August. On the month, he's slashing .303/.374/.494 with four of his 21 home runs and six of his 23 steals on the year, adding 18 runs and 18 RBI in 23 contests.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Blasts 12th homer

    Wilson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

    Wilson opened the scoring with his first-inning homer and generated another RBI in the third. He's gone 6-for-20 (.300) with two homers and eight RBI over five games since returning from a forearm fracture. Wilson has shown no rust, and the shortstop now has a .311/.353/.450 slash line with 12 homers, 53 RBI, 50 runs scored and five stolen bases over 99 contests this season.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Pops solo homer in win

    Seager went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

    Seager hit the 20-homer plateau for the season Tuesday, which marks his fourth consecutive year accomplishing this feat. The star shortstop has remained one of fantasy's top four-category producers at shortstop when healthy in 2025. Since the start of July, Seager is slashing .293/.396/.530 with 10 big flies, 13 doubles, 25 RBI and 31 runs scored covering his last 212 plate appearances.

  • Trey Sweeney SS | DET

    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Sweeney isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Sweeney will grab a seat on the bench after going 1-for-2 with a strikeout in Monday's game. Zach McKinstry will enter the lineup to start at shortstop while batting seventh.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Meidroth is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

    Meidroth had started the last four and nine of 10 contests after returning from the injured list, but he'll begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. Lenyn Sosa is covering second base for the White Sox.

  • Josh H. Smith SS | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Smith: Covers second base Monday

    Smith started at second base and went 0-for-2 with a walk and was hit by a pitch in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Angels.

    Smith took over at second base with Marcus Semien (foot) on the 10-day injured list and likely done for the rest of the regular season. It was the third start at second base this season for Smith, who wears many gloves for Texas. He's had a rough go of it in August, slashing .197/.274/.250 with four RBI and six runs scored over 23 games this month.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Leads off victory with homer

    Neto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a 4-0 win over the Rangers on Monday.

    Neto got the Angels off to a strong start when he took Jacob deGrom deep to lead off the contest. It was the ninth time the talented young shortstop has led off a contest with a long ball this year, establishing a team franchise record. Neto has already accomplished a second straight 20-20 campaign with 22 homers and 23 thefts with over a month left to go in the regular season.

  • Jorge Mateo SS | BAL

    Orioles' Jorge Mateo: Likely to return Sept. 1

    Mateo (hamstring) appears on track to be activated from the 60-day injured list Sept. 1, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    The Orioles' active roster will expand from 26 to 28 men Sept. 1, which should make it easier for the club to facilitate Mateo's reinstatement. Mateo, who has resided on the IL since early June due to an inflamed left elbow and then a strained left hamstring, has slashed .375/.400/.500 with one home run and two stolen bases through the first seven games of his rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk. Mateo projects to fill a utility role for Baltimore once he's activated.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Absent from starting lineup

    Baez isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Baez will begin Monday's matchup on the bench, which allows Trey Sweeney to start at shortstop and Wenceel Perez to man center field. Baez appears to be in need of a reset after going 4-for-22 with two RBI, two runs scored and seven strikeouts over his last seven games.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Taking seat against lefty

    Montgomery is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

    The White Sox are running out a full lineup of right-handed-hitting options to counter Royals southpaw Noah Cameron, so Montgomery will join fellow left-handed hitters Kyle Teel, Mike Tauchman and Andrew Benintendi on the bench. Montgomery had started in each of Chicago's previous four games and slugged home runs in the last three contests, bringing his OPS up to .829 over 160 plate appearances since he was promoted from Triple-A Charlotte on July 4.
