Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

Adames ended a 15-game power drought with his fifth-inning long ball to provide the final run of the game. It's been even longer since he had a multi-hit effort -- his last came July 12 versus the Rockies, and he's gone just 13-for-73 (.178) since the All-Star break. The shortstop is down to a .221 average and .693 OPS on the year, and he's added 19 homers, 48 RBI, 58 runs scored, 24 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases over 111 games. While the OPS is on track to be the worst of his career, Adames is one long ball away from reaching 20 for a sixth straight season.

Winn went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored, a walk and two stolen bases in a 3-2 win over Colorado on Friday.

Winn started his evening with a double in the second and came around to score on a sacrifice fly from Bryan Torres. Winn then came up to bat in the sixth, drawing a walk and stealing second and third base. On the season, the 24-year-old has batted .239/.319/.319 with four home runs, 45 RBI and 10 stolen bases across 439 plate appearances.

Jarvis is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Yankees.

It's left-hander Max Fried on the bump for the Yankees, so the left-handed-hitting Jarvis will begin the festivities on the bench. Ha-Seong Kim will patrol shortstop in the series opener.

Perdomo batted leadoff and went 0-for-4 in Thursday's 5-1 loss to San Diego.

Perdomo was the latest Diamondback to hit atop the order. Once the purview of Ketel Marte, the leadoff spot has also been handled by Corbin Carroll, trade deadline acquisition Lars Nootbaar and now Perdomo in recent weeks. Prior to the game, Arizona manager Torey Lovullo indicated he'll keep playing around with the top half of the lineup as he searches for a combination that clicks, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Perdomo had a .382 OBP since the All-Star break coming into Thursday's contest.

Lindor went 3-for-6 with a three-run home run in Thursday's win over the Guardians.

The star shortstop continues to swing a better bat as of late. Since the All-Star break, Lindor is batting .260 with five homers, three doubles, one triple and 16 RBI covering 77 at-bats. He's now slashing .230/.311/.422 with 10 long balls, 28 RBI, two stolen bases and 30 runs scored over 257 plate appearances in 2026. so Lindor still has a ways to go to climb back toward his career norms.

De La Cruz went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Athletics.

De La Cruz jumped on the second pitch he saw to give the Reds an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. It was the 19th homer of the season for De La Cruz, who's seeking a third consecutive 20-homer campaign. He's slashing a career-best .276/.356/.501 for the season along with 18 doubles, five triples, 19 homers and 53 RBI through 95 games.

Betts went 4-for-5 with a run in a loss to the Cubs on Wednesday.

All four knocks were singles, but it was still a promising performance after Betts went 1-for-16 over his previous five games. The star shortstop is in the midst of a quiet season offensively, as his .685 OPS through 78 contests is easily on pace for a career-worst mark. It's worth noting that Betts was carrying a .657 OPS before collecting three hits on the same date (Aug. 5) last year, spurring a hot stretch that resulted in an .892 OPS across his final 47 contests, so there's at least a precedent for those hoping the 2018 AL MVP can turn things around before the end of the campaign.

Abrams went 3-for-5 with a triple, three RBI, two runs and a steal during the Nationals' 10-4 extra-innings win over the Phillies on Wednesday.

Abrams kick-started the Nationals' six-run 10th inning with a two-run triple deep to center field before coming home on a sacrifice bunt. It was the 11th game this season that Abrams has driven in at least three runs, and his 88 RBI lead the majors. He also ranks eighth in both home runs (28) and OPS (.921) and 13th in both steals (21) and batting average (.290).

Jarvis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Jarvis will hit the bench after he went 5-for-19 (.263 average) with two RBI and one run while starting in Atlanta's previous six games. With the club recently getting all of Ronald Acuna, Mike Yastrzemski and Sean Murphy back from the injured list and also adding Lane Thomas ahead of the trade deadline, Jarvis could end up ceding more time at shortstop to Mauricio Dubon, who may not be needed in the outfield as frequently.

Bogaerts (foot) is starting at shortstop and batting sixth against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Bogaerts had X-rays on his foot come back negative after fouling a ball off his foot Tuesday, and the veteran shortstop has been cleared to play in Wednesday's contest. Bogaerts has reached base safely in six consecutive games, going 7-for-20 with two steals and two RBI in that span.
