    Bichette went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.

    Bichette extended the Jays' lead to 4-1 in the fifth inning with a two-run blast off Clarke Schmidt, his 19th homer of the year and his first since Aug. 20. The 25-year-old Bichette had been slumping coming into Tuesday's contest, going 10-for-60 (.167) with a .420 OPS in his previous 15 games. Overall, he's still slashing an impressive .304/.336/.474 with 67 RBI and 59 runs scored through 550 plate appearances this season.

Bogaerts has collected multiple hits in five consecutive contests, a span in which he's 11-for-23 (.478) with six runs scored and three RBI while striking out at a 12 percent clip.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Homers in homecoming

    Neto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-2 loss against the Rays.

    Neto, a Miami native, launched a game-tying solo shot in the eighth inning of his return to the Sunshine State. However, the excitement was short-lived, as Tampa Bay answered with a four-run eighth inning to put the game out of reach. After missing more than five weeks with a back injury, the 22-year-old shortstop has gone just 2-for-27 (.074) with eight strikeouts and four walks in seven contests. Neto owns a season-long slash line of .223/.301/.386 with nine home runs, 31 RBI, 33 runs and five steals across 74 games in his rookie campaign.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Ends skid

    Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Giants.

    Perdomo's second-inning double must have felt good. It was the shortstop's first hit since Sept. 7, a span of 25 at-bats without one. He's on the strong side of a platoon with rookie Jordan Lawlar, both of whom are struggling during September. Perdomo is batting .119 (5-for-42) and Lawlar is at .150 (3-for-20) for the month.

The 21-year-old shortstop, who was selected with the 12th overall pick this summer, said he originally hurt the foot in March when he was hit by a pitch but played through the injury. Troy added that stitches are set to be removed in two weeks and expects a full offseason of training. He hit .394/.478/.699 this year at Stanford, then slashed .271/.374/.469 in 27 games between the Arizona Complex League and High-A Hillsboro.

The shortstop is up to 16 homers, 57 RBI, 88 runs scored, 34 doubles and two stolen bases while slashing .266/.382/.433 through 134 contests this season. Crawford's excellent on-base skills continue to be valuable as the Mariners' primary leadoff hitter.
