Stanton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-4 win against the Rangers on Monday.

Stanton drilled a 418-foot solo shot to center field in the eighth inning. The slugger has gone deep in each of his first two games in September and has knocked in five runs across his past three contests. Stanton's 25 homers and 62 RBI in 2024 are each more than he posted last season, and he's improved his slash line considerably to .244/.303/.503 through 383 plate appearances.

Henderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two additional RBI in Monday's 13-3 win over the White Sox.

Henderson helped Baltimore bounce back from an early 2-0 deficit, leading off the bottom of the first inning with a solo shot. It was his 34th homer of the year, 28 of which he's hit when he's slotted in atop the lineup. His other RBI came on a sacrifice fly and a groundout. Henderson snapped a 13-game homer drought Monday and now has a .276/.362/.530 slash line with 83 RBI, 103 runs scored and 16 stolen bases over 137 contests. The shortstop has batted leadoff the last two times the Orioles have faced a right-hander, which suggests manager Brandon Hyde is going back to what worked well earlier in the season.

Irvin allowed a run on two hits and struck out two without walking a batter over three innings to earn the save in Monday's 13-3 win over the White Sox.

Irvin started last Tuesday, going 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers. Zach Eflin's return from a shoulder injury may have taken Irvin out of the rotation for now, but it's possible the 30-year-old southpaw gets a start this weekend against the Rays if Dean Kremer (forearm) isn't ready to go. Operating as a swingman in 2024, Irvin has a 4.74 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 73:25 K:BB over 106.1 innings while adding a 6-5 record, one save and one hold over 24 appearances (16 starts).

Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a run, an RBI and two stolen bases in an 8-4 victory versus Texas on Monday.

Chisholm singled home a run in the sixth inning and subsequently scored on a wild pitch, then laced a single in the eighth and proceeded to swipe both second and third base. It was the third baseman's second straight game with two steals, pushing him to 32 thefts on the campaign. Chisholm has been particularly active on the basepaths since joining the Yankees in late July, tallying 10 stolen bases over 24 games.

Leiter (0-2) took the loss against the Yankees on Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out two batters over five-plus innings.

Leiter held his own through five frames, giving up just two runs on a Gleyber Torres double. However, the rookie righty allowed all three batters he faced in the sixth inning to reach base, and each of the trio came around to score (including two after his departure). Leiter's final line doesn't necessarily show it, but this was arguably the best outing of his young career -- among other things, he hit 98.9 mph with his fastball, didn't walk any batters and notched strikeouts of potential future Hall of Famers Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. The 24-year-old's season ERA still stands at an unsightly 11.78 through five big-league starts, but he's had a breakthrough campaign in the minors this year to dig himself more firmly into the Rangers' future rotation plans.

Bello (12-7) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four batters over five innings.

Bello had been on a roll coming into Monday, notching three quality starts over his past four appearances and posting a 2.49 ERA during that span. He wasn't up to that level of performance against New York, as he allowed at least one run in each of the second, third and fourth innings and didn't retire the side in order until his fifth (and final) frame. Bello still managed to keep Boston in the game, and his next start is lined up to be a juicy matchup against the hapless White Sox this weekend.

Slater went 3-for-4 with an RBI double, a two-RBI single and two runs scored during Monday's 13-3 win over the White Sox.

Slater contributed to the Orioles' offensive bonanza, delivering a pair of RBI hits for his first three-hit game with Baltimore. Since being traded at the end of July, Slater has gone 13-for-44 (.295) with six RBI and seven runs scored across 19 games. The outfielder has a .618 OPS on the year.

Hanifee (0-1) allowed an unearned run on two hits across an inning of relief to take the loss Monday against the Padres. He struck out two.

Hanifee didn't help his own cause, as a throwing error on a soft single by Mason McCoy allowed the batter to get into scoring position with one out in the third inning. Luis Arraez then drove McCoy in, which saddled Hanifee with his first loss in the big leagues across 15 appearances the last two years. The 26-year-old righty has actually pitched well for the Tigers, as he lowered his season ERA to 1.53 after not allowing any earned runs Monday. Hanifee should continue to see steady work out of Detroit's bullpen during the final month of the campaign.

Mullins went 3-for-6 with a two-run home run, an RBI double and two additional runs scored during Monday's 13-3 win over the White Sox.

Mullins belted his 14th home run of the season Monday, tagging Touki Toussaint for a two-run shot in the eighth inning. The performance marked Mullins' first three-hit game since June 27 (52 games). He's slashing .227/.292/.397 in 413 plate appearances during 2024.

Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics.

Rodriguez tallied his third consecutive 20-steal season and then crossed home plate to tie the score at 4-4 in the sixth inning. He has hit safely in five straight games and stolen a base on back-to-back days for the first time since returning from the injured list Aug. 11. On the season, the 23-year-old is hitting .259 with 13 home runs, 47 RBI and 53 runs scored across 496 plate appearances.
