Willy Adames SS | SF
Giants' Willy Adames: Goes yard in loss
Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 11-1 loss to the Orioles.
Adames homered in the first inning to give San Francisco a 1-0 lead, though it didn't last long. The shortstop has tallied three home runs in his last three games and has been productive of late, slashing .324/.422/.811 with 10 runs scored, nine RBI, six homers and two stolen bases across 45 plate appearances in his last 10 outings. Overall, the 29-year-old has recorded a .230/.317/.423 slash line with 83 runs scored, 71 RBI, 25 home runs and eight stolen bases across 575 plate appearances in 134 games this season.

Masyn Winn SS | STL
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Getting Sunday off
Winn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
After sitting out last Sunday's loss to the Rays due to lingering soreness in his left knee, Winn proceeded to start six straight games, going 5-for-25 with a double, a walk, four RBI and three runs. The shortstop doesn't appear to be dealing with any setbacks, so his absence from the lineup for Sunday's matinee looks to be rest-related. Thomas Saggese will cover shortstop in Winn's stead.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Phillies' Trea Turner: Comes up clutch Saturday
Turner went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and two stolen bases in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Atlanta.
Turner was a thorn in Atlanta's side all night, capping his performance with a walk-off two-run single in the 10th inning. It was the shortstop's 10th multi-hit effort in 28 August games, leaving him just four hits behind Bo Bichette's league-leading 172 for the year. Turner is slashing .300/.353/.452 with 14 homers, 64 RBI and 92 runs scored across 560 plate appearances and is tied for fifth in the majors with 34 stolen bases after swiping two Saturday.

Cam Devanney 3B | PIT
Pirates' Cam Devanney: Joining Pirates
The Pirates recalled Devanney from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Since joining the Pirates organization via trade from Kansas City on July 16, Devanney has slashed .256/.327/.361 with two homers, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored across 147 plate appearances. Those numbers represent a significant drop off from the .931 OPS he posted with the Royals' Triple-A affiliate, but he'll aim to contribute for the big club nonetheless. The 28-year-old has experience at every infield position and will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Posts 10th career multi-homer game
Swanson went 3-for-5 with two home runs, six RBI, a triple and an additional run scored in an 11-7 win over the Rockies on Friday.
It was a banner evening for Swanson, who recorded his first multi-homer effort of the year, piled up a season-high six RBI and tied his season best in hits. The veteran shortstop fell one RBI shy of matching his career high, and the two-homer outing was the 10th of his career. Swanson has put together a strong run of late, slashing .275/.322/.550 with 11 extra-base hits, 13 RBI and two stolen bases over his last 87 trips to the plate (23 games).
