Gimenez went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.

Gimenez gave the Guardians an early lead with his first-inning solo shot, one of four homers for the team in the win. The second baseman has struggled to hit for power in 2024, but he has two homers over his last three games. He's gone 10-for-39 (.256) over his last 10 contests and now has a .251/.301/.335 slash line with seven homers, 54 RBI, 58 runs scored and 25 stolen bases through 129 games this season.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.

Ramirez's homer was the 250th of his career. He ranks second only to Jim Thome (337) in Cleveland franchise history. Ramirez hit .269 in August but made an impact with six homers and 14 stolen bases over 29 contests for the month and will be chasing his first 40-homer season in September. Overall, the third baseman has a .275/.331/.531 slash line with 34 homers, 105 RBI, 100 runs scored. 34 stolen bases, 31 doubles and one triple through 134 contests this season. Through Sunday's action, only Ramirez and Aaron Judge have 100 each of RBI and runs scored in 2024.

Herrin (arm) struck out two and hit one batter in a scoreless and hitless inning during Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.

Herrin exited Saturday's appearance after being struck in the arm by a batted ball, but he's no worse for wear after returning to the mound a day later. He's pitched five of the last seven days, so he may still be due some standard rest in the coming days. Herrin has been effective while seeing time in some high-leverage spots with a 2.10 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB over 55.2 innings while adding 14 holds.

Rooker went 4-for-5 with an RBI single in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

The Athletics stranded 11 men overall Sunday, but Rooker went 2-for-3 with runners in scoring position. That included a fifth-inning single that plated Jacob Wilson with Oakland's first run of the day, pushing Rooker's RBI total to eight over the last eight games. The multi-hit tally was also Rooker's third consecutive, and he now boasts a .295 average and elite .951 OPS across 503 plate appearances this season.

Brown went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple, a walk and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

Brown provided one of four multi-hit efforts on the afternoon for the Athletics, and his first triple of 2024 drove home Shea Langeliers in the 10th inning to snap a 2-2 tie. Brown now has multi-hit tallies in four consecutive starts, with Sunday's three-bagger his third extra-base hit in that stretch. His hot bat dates further back, however -- factoring in Sunday's production, the veteran outfielder boasts a .375 average across his last nine games.

Butler went 4-for-5 with a double and a stolen base in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

The red-hot leadoff man kept on wreaking havoc Sunday, posting his fifth multi-hit effort in the last six games and lacing a double for the third straight contest in the process. Butler also extended his hitting streak to 11 games, a stretch during which he's now hitting a blistering .435 with 11 extra-base hits, 13 RBI, two walks, three steals and 13 runs across 48 plate appearances.

Gelof went 3-for-5 with an RBI double, another two-bagger, a stolen base and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

Gelof was part of an afternoon that featured plenty of squandered opportunities with men on base by the Athletics, who parlayed 16 hits into only four runs. However, the young infielder did cash in on one of the two times he came to bat with runners in scoring position, driving in Seth Brown with his 10th-inning double to extend the Athletics' lead to 4-2 at the time. The multi-hit effort was Gelof's third in the last eight games, one of the better stretches of hitting for him during a season in which his slash line still stands at an anemic but moderately improving .206/.270/.371.

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.

Rojas has four multi-hit efforts over his last 12 games, going 9-for-32 (.281) with three extra-base hits and three steals in that span. The infielder hasn't been a big threat on the basepaths this year, going 9-for-13 on stolen-base attempts. Rojas has added a .234/.315/.351 slash line, seven home runs, 26 RBI, 44 runs scored, 18 doubles and two triples over 410 plate appearances, mainly serving as a strong-side platoon option at third base.

Raley went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.

Raley got the Mariners on the board when he took Angels rookie Caden Dana deep in the second inning. Raley started to slip late in August, going 4-for-21 with five walks over his last nine games of the month. He's now at a .237/.313/.440 slash line with 17 homers, 44 RBI, 48 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 115 games. He's a regular in the lineup versus right-handed pitchers, but his playing time has dropped with the Mariners facing southpaws in five of their last eight games.

Miller (10-8) allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Angels on Sunday.

Miller has failed to complete five innings in three of his last six starts, though this was his first loss since June 29. He threw 53 of 91 pitches for strikes in this inefficient outing, which saw him walk multiple batters for just the second time in his last 12 appearances. Miller is now at a 3.30 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 147:36 K:BB through 155.1 innings over 27 starts. He pitched a total of 151 innings across all levels last year, so he should be good for at least couple of starts before fatigue would be a concern. If the Mariners get hot in September, Miller may be asked to tough it out for the regular season, but there's a chance he gets shut down early if the team ends up out of the playoff race. For now, Miller is projected to make his next start at St. Louis.
