  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Records two hits in win

    Camargo went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in an 11-2 win over the Phillies on Friday.

    Camargo had an RBI double to deep center field which capped off a four-run third inning and then got the fun started again in the fifth with a two-run double that ignited a seven-run inning. His two RBI on the day were his first since Aug. 12 as he continues to struggle at the plate while filling in for the injured Ozzie Albies (wrist) at second base.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Plays hero in return

    Rojas went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Friday's win over the Nationals.

    In his first at-bat after coming off the COVID-19 injured list, Rojas took Patrick Corbin yard to account for all of the Marlins' runs in a 3-2 victory. The shortstop has had an incredible start to the season despite his long absence from the lineup, going 9-for-14 (.643) with two homers, a steal, five runs and eight RBI.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Swats fifth homer

    Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Marlins.

    The shortstop took Elieser Hernandez deep in the third inning to bring the Nats to within a run of the Marlins, but neither team scored again. Turner is slashing .289/.350/.522 with five homers, 10 RBI and 15 runs, but his one steal in four attempts remains disappointing.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Rockies' Trevor Story: Plates Colorado's lone run

    Story went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's loss to the Dodgers.

    Story produced his 16th RBI of the season with a single to right field that scored Drew Butera in the top of the sixth inning, and that was the biggest highlight for a Colorado offense that went 4-for-31 as a team against the Dodgers' pitching staff. Story, who rode a nine-game hitting streak earlier this month, is hitting .274 with a .834 OPS in 84 August at-bats.

  • Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Homers in second straight

    Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-5 win over the Orioles on Friday.

    Bogaerts got the scoring started for the Red Sox with a solo shot to center field in the second inning. Slashing .281/.343/.528, the young shortstop has been one of the more consistent hitters for his club and should see more RBI chances once hitters in front of him like J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers start to heat up at the plate.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Not starting Friday

    Adames is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

    The Rays continue to rotate heavily around the diamond, though Adames has as close to an everyday role as anyone in Tampa, starting 23 of the first 27 games at shortstop. Joey Wendle starts at the position Friday.

  • Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Homers in three-hit effort

    Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs in Thursday's victory over Baltimore.

    The shortstop registered his fifth multi-hit effort of the campaign in the win and swatted his fifth homer -- a solo shot to left field in the third inning. Bogaerts boosted his batting average nearly 20 points with the effort and is now slashing .282/.347/.506 through 95 plate appearances.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Fills up box score in win

    Anderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a single, two runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 9-0 win over the Tigers.

    Anderson extended Chicago's lead to 5-0 with his home run off Tyler Alexander in the fourth inning. The 2019 MLB batting champion is 13-for-32 with four homers and seven RBI since being reinstated from the injured list on Aug. 11. He will bring an impressive .379/.414/.758 slash line into the weekend series with the Cubs.

  • Joey Wendle 2B | ATL

    Rays' Joey Wendle: Drives in three

    Wendle went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 10-5 win over the Yankees.

    Wendle tied the game at two with a two-run double in the fifth and gave the Rays a 5-4 lead with a run-scoring single an inning later. The infielder is slashing .281/.349/.456 on the year.

  • Paul DeJong SS | DET

    Cardinals' Paul DeJong: Expected back Monday

    The tentative plan is for DeJong (not injury related) to rejoin the Cardinals on Monday, Mark Saxon of The Athletic reports.

    DeJong will spend the weekend working out at the team's alternate camp site before hopefully rejoining the Cardinals ahead of Monday's series opener against the Royals. The shortstop has been sidelined all month following a positive COVID-19 test, leaving Tommy Edman to handle primary shortstop duties.
