Angels' Zach Neto: Ends power drought
Neto went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a two-RBI double during Sunday's 8-5 win over the White Sox.

The performance marked Neto's first game since June 24 with multiple RBI. In his last 10 games, Neto is 10-for-37 (.270) with nine RBI and three runs scored.

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.

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.

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.
