  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Returns to St. Louis lineup

    Winn (knee) will start at shortstop and bat second in Monday's game versus the Pirates.

    Winn missed Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Rays and underwent an MRI earlier Monday while he manages nagging soreness in his left knee. The imaging revealed improvement in the condition of the knee from a previous MRI, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic, and Winn will continue to manage the issue on a day-to-day basis based on pain tolerance.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Logs seventh stolen base in win

    Adames went 2-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.

    Adames singled to center field in the sixth and subsequently stole second base. The shortstop added another single in the eighth, marking his second multi-hit performance in the Giants' three-game series in Milwaukee. Adames' recent success is an encouraging sign, as he has struggled to stay consistent throughout August, slashing .160/.269/.383 with 13 runs scored, eight RBI, six homers, three stolen bases and a 30.1 percent strikeout rate across 93 plate appearances in 21 games.

  • Bo Bichette SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: On base three times Sunday

    Bichette went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Marlins.

    The shortstop extended his hitting streak to nine games with the performance, a stretch in which he's batting a sizzling .444 (16-for-36) with five doubles, five RBI and eight runs. Bichette hasn't homered since Aug. 6 and hasn't stolen a base since May 4, but he's racked up plenty of fantasy value all the same, leading the majors with 164 hits while compiling a .304/.348/.471 slash line over 128 contests with 16 home runs, four steals, 70 runs and 83 RBI.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Set for MRI

    Winn will undergo an MRI on his injured left knee Monday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Winn has been playing through soreness in the knee since around the All-Star break and was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Rays due to renewed discomfort. He underwent an MRI in July which "showed a little something," per Winn, and he'll have imaging on the knee again Monday. The shortstop hopes to return to the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates, but more will be known regarding Winn's condition after the MRI results are in. If Winn has to miss additional time, Thomas Saggese would likely handle the bulk of the reps at shortstop for the Cardinals.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Homers in third straight

    Montgomery went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Twins.

    Montgomery contributed to an early offensive barrage for the White Sox, as his home run came in the second inning and put the team up 7-0. He homered in all three games against the Twins over the weekend, giving him 13 long balls across his first 160 plate appearances in the majors. While his power is prodigious, Montgomery's inability to make consistent contact has persisted, potentially jeopardizing his production in the long term.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Records 18th steal

    Pena went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base Sunday against the Orioles.

    Pena recorded hits in each of his first two at-bats, the latter of which was an RBI single. He was then awarded third base due to an engagement violation, accounting for his 18th stolen base of the year. While a long stint on the injured list in July has muted his counting stats, Pena has a chance to reach 20 home runs for the first time since his rookie season and has a career-best .842 OPS across 432 plate appearances.

  • Rays' Carson Williams: Swipes first bag

    Williams went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Williams made his second big-league start and continued to flash his fantasy upside. After homering in his debut, Williams tallied his first steal and has attempted a stolen base in each of his first two contests. His ability to make consistent contact remains a concern, but there is considerable power and speed intrigue in his profile that has already been on display.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Showcases power, speed

    Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored and two stolen bases during Sunday's 3-2 win over the Astros.

    Henderson extended his hit streak to six games with Sunday's performance, and he stole a base for the second straight contest. His homer came in the first inning off Astros starter Spencer Arrighetti. During his hit streak, the shortstop is 9-for-26 (.346) with two home runs and a triple. Henderson is up to 16 long balls and 19 stolen bases in 2025.

  • Luis Vazquez SS | BAL

    Orioles' Luis Vazquez: Swats first career homer

    Vazquez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Sunday's 3-2 win over the Astros.

    The 25-year-old tagged John Rooney for a solo homer in the seventh inning, marking Vazquez's first career long ball. He's starting to hit his stride at the plate after starting the 2025 campaign with just one hit and six strikeouts in his first 17 at-bats. He's gone 4-for-15 (.267) with four runs scored and a stolen base in his last four starts.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Not starting Monday

    Volpe said he expects to remain out of the lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Nationals before returning to the starting nine Tuesday, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

    After going 0-for-3 and committing his 17th error of the season in Saturday's 12-1 loss to Boston, Volpe was held out of the lineup for Sunday's 7-2 win, though he entered the contest in top of the eighth inning as a defensive substitution at shortstop. The 24-year-old didn't see an at-bat in the contest, and he remains in the midst of a cold spell at the plate, batting .121 with five extra-base hits over his last 19 contests. Jose Caballero appears likely to get another start at Volpe's expense Monday, but the Yankees still seemingly view Volpe as their top option at shortstop, despite his ongoing struggles at the dish and on defense.
