Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Homers in four-hit game
Perdomo went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 10-5 win over the Red Sox.
Perdomo's bat had gone a little quiet over the previous week -- he was just 3-for-29 across his previous seven games. The shortstop started the scoring with a solo shot in the first inning and added an RBI single in the eighth to help fend off the Red Sox's late push. Perdomo is up to a .287/.385/.452 slash line with 17 homers, 90 RBI, 88 runs scored and 24 stolen bases over 141 contests in an excellent breakout campaign at age 25.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Giants' Willy Adames: Goes yard in easy win
Adames went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI on Friday in an 8-2 win over the Cardinals.
Adames clobbered his 27th long ball of the season, which brings him closer to recording his third 30-homer campaign in the past four years. The slugging shortstop posted a .636 OPS through the end of June, but he's been a high-end fantasy producer ever since. Since the start of July, Adames is slashing .261/.345/.565 with 18 big flies, 42 RBI, 41 runs scored and four stolen bases over his last 238 plate appearances to boost his OPS to .745 for the year.

Colson Montgomery SS | CHW
White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Powers offense in win
Montgomery went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 7-5 win over the Tigers.
Montgomery was a consistent contributor Friday, driving in runs in the first and fifth innings before capping his night with a two-run homer in the seventh. The 23-year-old has gone deep eight times in his past 12 games, piling up 18 RBI during that stretch. Through just 204 major-league plate appearances, he's slashing .232/.296/.562 with 18 home runs, 46 RBI and 34 runs scored.

Bobby Witt SS | KC
Royals' Bobby Witt: Exits with back spasms
Witt was removed from Friday's game against the Twins with lower-back spasms.
Witt had gone 0-for-3 with a strikeout before his back forced him to make an early exit ahead of the seventh inning. It remains to be seen whether the star infielder will need to miss any starts due to his injury, which would likely lead to more playing time for Nick Loftin or Tyler Tolbert.

Dansby Swanson SS | CHC
Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Launches 22nd home run
Swanson went 1-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run and a stolen base in Friday's 11-5 win over the Nationals.
Swanson now has four home runs in his last eight games and 22 for the season. That puts him five behind his career high of 27 long balls, which he recorded back in 2021 while playing for Atlanta. Swanson is also up to 70 RBI on the year, though he has some work to do to match his career best of 96 RBI. The Chicago shortstop has tacked on 12 stolen bases in 2025, giving him double figures in homers and steals for the fifth time in his career.

J.P. Crawford SS | SEA
Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Out of lineup versus left-hander
Crawford is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.
It's a rare day off for the left-handed-hitting Crawford, who will begin the contest on the bench as Atlanta sends southpaw Chris Sale to the bump. Leo Rivas will cover shortstop and bat eighth.

Maximo Acosta SS | MIA
Marlins' Maximo Acosta: Coming back in majors
The Marlins will recall Acosta from Triple-A Jacksonville before Friday's contest against the Phillies, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.
Acosta will take the roster spot vacated by the injured Connor Norby (undisclosed) and could see ample playing time at third base, at least until Graham Pauley (oblique) returns. The 22-year-old Acosta went went just 4-for-24 during his nine games with the big club, though three of those hits left the ballpark. Acosta has slashed .229/.315/.377 with 13 homers and 31 steals this season with Jacksonville.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Astros' Carlos Correa: Modest four-game hit streak
Correa went 2-for-5 with a double on Thursday against the Yankees.
Correa has reached base consistently since his reunion with the Astros, maintaining a .293 average and .351 on-base percentage across 123 at-bats. He currently has a four-game hitting streak and has recorded a double in each of his last two contests. Correa also continues to occupy a key spot in the Houston lineup, as he's hit primarily second or fourth.

Chase Meidroth SS | CHW
White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Racks up four hits in win
Meidroth went 4-for-5 with a double in Thursday's 11-8 win over the Twins.
Meidroth missed time earlier in the week due to an ankle issue. He was hurt Monday and sat out Tuesday before returning Wednesday. The infielder has gone 18-for-62 (.290) over 17 games since returning from a thumb injury in mid-August. His big performance Thursday has him up to a .258/.334/.331 slash line with four home runs, 13 stolen bases, 21 RBI and 44 runs scored over 101 contests this season.

Colson Montgomery SS | CHW
White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Launches homer in win
Montgomery went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, a walk and three total runs scored in Thursday's 11-8 win over the Twins.
Montgomery is on a power binge again with seven homers over his last 11 games, a span in which he's added 14 RBI. His blast in the ninth inning Thursday gave the White Sox some extra breathing room to take the drama out of the end of the contest. The 23-year-old rookie is up to 17 long balls on the year, and he's added a .227/.288/.547 slash line, 42 RBI, 32 runs scored, five doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over his first 50 games in the majors.
