  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Keeps swinging hot bat

    Camargo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

    Camargo took Yoan Lopez deep in the ninth inning to record his 18th home run of the season. He's swung a hot bat of late, clubbing four home runs in his past 10 games to go along with seven RBI and eight runs scored. He's been moved back into the second spot in the order as a result -- he's hit there the last three games -- a promising development for him to continue his counting stat production to close the season.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: No longer using crutches

    Seager (elbow/hip) resumed walking without the assistance of crutches earlier this month, Ken Gurnick of ESPN.com reports.

    While on the mend from the Tommy John surgery he required in early May, Seager elected to undergo another procedure in August to repair a torn left hip labrum and shave a misshaped bone. The elbow operation carries the longer recovery timetable of the two, but the shortstop is optimistic that he'll be fully recovered from both surgeries before spring training commences. He's on track to begin a throwing program at some point in early October, which will provide the first real test for the health of his right elbow.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Another multi-hit game

    Adames went 2-for-4 while scoring once and driving in a run in Sunday's win over the Orioles.

    Adames has a multi-hit game in four of his past six contests and has raised his batting average from .241 to .266 since Aug. 20.

  • Indians' Francisco Lindor: Goes deep Sunday

    Lindor went 2-for-5 with his 34th home run of the season in a loss to Toronto on Sunday.

    The homer was Lindor's fourth over his last seven games after going homerless over his previous 22 contests. He has just seven extra-base hits over his last 29 contests, most of which have come over this past week against Kansas City and Toronto pitching.

  • Mariners' Dee Gordon: Sits versus lefty Sunday

    Gordon is not in the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

    Gordon will retreat to the bench to avoid a lefty-on-lefty matchup with New York starter CC Sabathia. Robinson Cano will slide over to second base to replace him, allowing Ryon Healy to make a start at first base.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Returns to lineup Sunday

    Crawford (knee) will start at shortstop and bat cleanup Sunday against the Brewers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Crawford was out of the lineup with a sore knee the past three games but appeared as a pinch hitter Saturday. The 31-year-old has struggled offensively since the start of July with a .175/.252/.243 slash line as he continues to battle the lingering knee issue.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Rare day off Sunday

    Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Cubs.

    Turner had started the last 32 games at shortstop and slashed .277/.340/.394 with seven stolen bases in that stretch. Wilmer Difo will slide over to shortstop for the Nationals while Adrian Sanchez starts at second base.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Arcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against San Francisco.

    Arcia will head to the bench after going 0-for-1 with a walk and a sacrifice fly Saturday. Hernan Perez makes another start at shortstop and will bat seventh for the Brewers.

  • Joey Wendle 2B | ATL

    Rays' Joey Wendle: Heads to bench Sunday

    Wendle is not in the lineup Sunday against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    The 28-year-old had started the team's previous 14 games, so it seems as if the Rays simply wanted to get their second baseman a day off. The fact that the Orioles are trotting out a left-handed starting pitcher could've factored into the decision as well, though Wendle actually holds a passable .717 OPS in 61 at-bats against southpaws this season. Wendle's retreat to the bench will allow Brandon Lowe to enter the starting lineup.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Comes off bench

    Crawford (knee) drew a walk off the bench in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.

    Crawford was out of the lineup for the third consecutive day due to a sore knee. The shortstop was completely unavailable over the past two games, but his usage as a pinch hitter opens up the possibility of a return in Sunday's series finale against the Brewers.
