Pena went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Yankees.

The shortstop led off the game by ripping a Luis Gil fastball down the left-field line. It was Pena's 12th homer of the season, and his first in seven games since returning from a rib injury at the beginning of August. On the month, he's batting .296 (8-for-27), with half his knocks going for extra bases.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

Bogaerts had a big game against his former team. He has homered three times in his last four games, putting him at 10 long balls on the year, one shy of his total from last season. The shortstop has added 18 steals, 42 RBI, 53 runs scored, 25 doubles and a .271/.340/.403 slash line through 115 contests. He has six multi-hit efforts over his last 15 games and looks to be finding more consistency at the plate since the All-Star break.

Tovar went 2-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

This was Tovar's fourth multi-hit effort over eight games in August. He's now batting .364 (12-for-33) for the month while adding six doubles, five RBI and two steals. Overall, the shortstop appears to be settling in nicely during the second half after an injury-plagued first three months of the season. He's now slashing .274/.316/.452 with six homers, 20 RBI, 27 runs scored and four steals over 50 contests in 2025.

Perdomo went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Rockies.

Perdomo has hit safely in eight of his last nine games and has a trio of three-hit efforts in that span. The shortstop's steady hitting has helped him maintain a starting role for the vast majority of the season. He's up to a .283/.383/.429 slash line with 11 home runs, 75 RBI, 64 runs scored and 17 stolen bases through 116 contests, putting him on pace for a career year across the board in his fourth big-league campaign.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Cardinals.

Swanson had gone 13 games without a multi-hit effort, batting just .174 (8-for-46) with two homers, eight RBI and 19 strikeouts in that span. He was seeing the ball well in this contest, which also allowed him to swipe his first bag since July 22 versus the Royals. The recent slump now has him at a .250/.297/.415 slash line with 18 homers, 55 RBI, 65 runs scored and nine steals across 114 games this season.

Henderson went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 11-3 loss to the Athletics.

Henderson's three-run blast in the first inning accounted for all of the Orioles' offense Saturday. The shortstop has hit safely in 11 of his past 14 games, tallying three homers, 14 RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases during that stretch. For the year, he's slashing .284/.354/.466 with 14 long balls, 50 RBI, 66 runs scored and 15 steals across 458 plate appearances.

Walls was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Mariners due to a left groin injury, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Walls started feeling discomfort during Friday's game, and the issue persisted enough for him to be removed from Saturday's lineup, though he could be available to pinch hit. In 18 games since the All-Star break, Walls has slashed .236/.263/.418 with three steals, seven doubles, one home run and nine RBI in 59 plate appearances.

Walls (undisclosed) was scratched from the Rays' starting lineup against the Mariners on Saturday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Walls was originally slated to start at shortstop. Now that he's out of the lineup, Ha-Seong Kim will move to shortstop while Tristan Gray starts at the keystone. The Rays are likely to provide an update on Walls after Saturday's game.

Kiner-Falefa isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

Kiner-Falefa will get a day to reset after going 3-for-17 with an RBI and three runs scored across Pittsburgh's last five contests. His absence will move Jared Triolo to third base, allowing Liover Peguero to start at shortstop.

Montgomery is absent from Saturday's starting lineup against the Guardians.

Montgomery will be on the bench for the beginning of Saturday's AL Central game while Jacob Amaya starts at shortstop and bats eighth. Over his last 10 games, Montgomery has gone 8-for-39 (.205) with five home runs and 11 RBI.
