    Mondesi drew a walk and scored on Salvador Perez's first-inning double. In the third, Mondesi reached on a single and advanced to second on Ryan Braun's error before coming around to score on a Perez single. Mondesi added his 18th stolen base of the year by swiping third in the seventh inning after hitting a leadoff double.

    The White Sox clinched their first playoff birth since 2008 with Thursday's win over the Twins, and Anderson will receive his first day off since returning from the groin injury Aug. 11. Nick Madrigal will move up to the leadoff spot while Yolmer Sanchez starts at shortstop.

    Angels' David Fletcher: Another three-hit game

    It hasn't taken long for Fletcher to get back into a rhythm after a stint on the injured list sidelined him for the first part of September. The 26-year-old went 1-for-10 in his first two games back but has notched a pair of three-hit games in his subsequent three starts. That has pushed his average up to .314, seventh best in the American League.

    Adames got the scoring started early in the second part of the twin bill with a first-inning, three-run blast off Bruce Zimmermann. It was the sixth home run of the year for the 25-year-old, who is leading qualifying Rays hitters with a .266 batting average.

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Plates two in loss

    Crawford went 1-for-5 with two RBI in the Mariners' 6-4 loss to the Giants on Thursday. He also struck out three times.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Hitless in return

    Correa went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Rangers.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Owns September

    Anderson went 1-for-4 and was caught stealing in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Twins.

    Anderson extended his hit streak to five games (13-for-23) and has hit safely in 12 of 14 September games. He's owned the month for two seasons. In 2019, he slashed .374/.400/.566 over 23 games on his way to the AL batting title. This season, he's slashing .450/.477/.600 over 14 games and is tied with the Yankees' DJ LeMahieu for tops in the AL.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Back in action

    Correa (ankle) is starting Wednesday against the Rangers.

    Correa left Tuesday's game after fouling a ball off his left ankle, and X-rays revealed a bone bruise. However, he'll be able to return to the field Wednesday, playing shortstop and batting seventh.
