Bobby Witt SS | KC
Royals' Bobby Witt: On base six times in twin bill
Witt went 3-for-6 with three walks, one RBI, one stolen base and three runs scored across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the White Sox.
Witt did most of his damage with a 3-for-3 performance in the matinee game, as he was held hitless in the nightcap. The shortstop has cooled off just a bit in September, going 11-for-42 (.262) over his first 10 games this month. He's at a .275/.317/.494 slash line with 28 home runs, 42 steals, 87 RBI and 83 runs scored through 142 contests for the year.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Phillies' Trea Turner: Stays red hot
Turner went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta.
The 30-year-old continued his torrid play Tuesday, swiping his 27th base and launching his 26th homer -- a game-tying solo shot in the ninth inning off Atlanta closer Raisel Iglesias. Turner has been a hit machine lately, recording multi-hit efforts in 12 of his last 15 games, including four straight. In 34 games since Aug. 4, the five-tool shortstop has posted a slash line of .388/.430/.820 with an incredible 16 home runs, 10 doubles, one triple, 41 RBI, 34 runs and six steals across 151 plate appearances. Turner's batting average has risen from a paltry .236 to a respectable .272 during that same time frame.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a triple and two runs scored in Tuesday's loss to the Rockies.
Swanson delivered his fourth straight multi-hit effort and also tallied just his third triple of the season. The shortstop is heating up at the right time as the Cubs look to chase down a playoff spot. Swanson is batting .327 this month with nine runs scored in 13 games.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Rangers' Corey Seager: Laces two doubles
Seager went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-3 victory over Toronto.
Seager hit his AL-leading 38th and 39th doubles in Tuesday's contest. The nine-year veteran has played his role in keeping the Rangers afloat in the playoff race by swinging a hot bat since returning from a sprained thumb Aug. 2. Over that span, Seager has hit .324 with 10 doubles, 15 home runs, 31 RBI and 32 runs in 145 at-bats.

Anderson isn't in the White Sox's lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.comreports.
After a 2-for-3 performance in Game 1, Anderson will get a breather to close out Tuesday's twin bill. Zach Remillard will replace Anderson at shortstop and bat ninth.

Anthony Volpe SS | NYY
Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Not starting nightcap
Volpe isn't in the Yankees' lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.
Volpe finished Game 1 having gone 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout, and he'll now take a seat after mustering just two hits across his last seven games. Oswald Peraza (knee) will draw the start at shortstop while Isiah Kiner-Falefa gets the nod at third base.

Pablo Reyes RF | SD
Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Hitting seventh in nightcap
Reyes (elbow) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at second base while hitting seventh in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees.
We already knew Reyes was going to be activated midway through Tuesday's twin bill. He missed a little over two weeks with left elbow inflammation. Prior to the injury, Reyes had been playing pretty regularly, logging a .303/.340/.408 slash line, two home runs and five steals in 51 games.
