  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Goes deep, adds 23rd steal

    Perdomo went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer, an additional RBI and run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-1 win over Cincinnati.

    Perdomo launched his 14th homer of the year with a 423-foot, two-run blast off Andrew Abbott in the fourth inning and later added an RBI single in the eighth. He also swiped his 23rd base of the season. It was Perdomo's seventh multi-hit performance in his last 14 games, a stretch in which he's batting 20-for-53 (.377). In the midst of a career year, the switch-hitting shortstop is now slashing .290/.392/.446 with 84 RBI and 79 runs scored through 129 games.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Homers in win

    Correa went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-8 win over the Orioles.

    Correa opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the first inning before adding a single in the fifth. The 30-year-old has now hit safely in eight straight games, batting .338 with six extra-base hits, 12 RBI and 11 runs scored since rejoining the Astros at the trade deadline. For the season, he's slashing .281/.333/.405 with 10 homers, 43 RBI and 51 runs scored across 451 plate appearances.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Belts grand slam vs. Minnesota

    Montgomery put the exclamation point on the White Sox's six-run second inning when he cleared the bases on a 412-foot blast to right-center field. Saturday marked Montgomery's eighth multi-hit game of the season, and he's hit home runs in consecutive games on six occasions this season, including two instances in which he's homered in three straight games. He now has a .229/.288/.528 slash line with 12 homers and 34 RBI across 156 plate appearances this season.

    Witt singled and scored in the fourth inning before adding a solo homer in the sixth. The shortstop has now hit safely in 12 straight games and in 18 of 20 in August overall, batting .351 with four homers, 11 RBI, 18 runs scored and six steals this month.

    Duran went 1-for-5 with a two-run double and an additional RBI during the Rangers' 10-0 win over the Guardians on Saturday.

    Duran played a big factor in Saturday's blowout win, bringing home two on a double in the fourth inning before capping the Rangers' scoring with an RBI groundout in the sixth. Duran has logged at least one hit in each of his last four games, and since Aug. 1 he has gone 16-for-41 (.390) with two steals, four doubles and six RBI.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Slugs homer No. 20

    Story went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 12-1 rout of the Yankees.

    The shortstop got the Red Sox on the board with a two-run double in the third inning before launching his 20th homer of the season in the fifth, a solo shot off Will Warren. It's the first time since he left Colorado after the 2021 campaign that Story has reached the 20-homer plateau, and the blast gave him his fourth 20-20 season. His next long ball will be the 200th of his career.

  • Nick Allen SS | ATL

    Braves' Nick Allen: Rare day off

    Allen is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

    Allen's streak of 71 consecutive starts will end Saturday, as Vidal Brujan steps in to play shortstop and bat ninth. During that 71-game stretch, Allen slashed .211/.277/.240 with six doubles, 19 runs scored and nine RBI.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Still out Saturday

    Lopez (illness) isn't starting Saturday's contest against the Blue Jays.

    Lopez had to be scratched from Friday's lineup due to an illness, and he's slated to miss at least one more game. Maximo Acosta is Miami's starting shortstop Saturday with Lopez out of action.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Swipes two bags in win

    Lindor went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Friday's win over Atlanta.

    The shortstop stayed hot as the Mets' leadoff hitter, extending his hitting streak to 10 games -- a stretch in which he's batting a stunning .512 (22-for-43) with four homers, four steals, eight RBI and 12 runs. Lindor's surge has pushed him back up to a .797 OPS on the season, and he sits three stolen bases away from his third straight 25-25 campaign.

  • Maximo Acosta SS | MIA

    Marlins' Maximo Acosta: Goes yard in second straight game

    Acosta went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays.

    Starting at shortstop and batting ninth as a late replacement for Otto Lopez (illness), Acosta took Yariel Rodriguez deep in the eighth inning. It was the second straight game with a homer for the 22-year-old infielder, with the two longs balls accounting for his only hits in 14 plate appearances over his first four MLB contests. Lopez isn't like to miss much more time, but Acosta is beginning to make a case for more playing time over the final weeks of the season.
