    Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Keeps up hot September

    Carrigg went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored Saturday against the White Sox.

    It was a big offensive day for the Rockies, and Carrigg did his part with his ninth multi-hit performance across 23 games in September. Much of that production has come at Coors Field, but Carrigg contributed an RBI single in the ninth inning while also tallying his 22nd double of the season in Saturday's win at Rate Field. Overall, Carrigg is ending his rookie season in strong form, hitting .330 with five homers, 16 RBI and 11 runs scored for the month.

  • Royals' Jac Caglianone: Drives in two runs Saturday

    Caglianone went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-5 loss to the Guardians.

    Caglianone laced a pair of doubles, one in the first inning and another in the eighth frame, each of which brought in a run.

  • Giants' Carson Seymour: Drawing start in bullpen game

    Seymour is slated to start Sunday's game against the Dodgers in what's likely to be a bullpen day.

    Seymour made nine starts at Triple-A Sacramento earlier in the season but has made all 24 of his appearances with the Giants to date out of the bullpen. He hasn't recorded more than five outs in any outing since Aug. 15, so the right-hander may be in line for just a 1-to-2-inning start in the season finale.

  • Rays' Richie Palacios: Drives in four in rout

    Palacios went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and four RBI in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Phillies.

    Palacios drove in runs in three separate trips to the plate, highlighted by a two-run single in the sixth inning. The 29-year-old has been swinging a hot bat in September, hitting .306 with five homers and 18 RBI while also swiping six bags. With one game left in the regular season, he's slashing .238/.333/.378 with 10 home runs, 57 RBI, 51 runs scored and 17 steals across a career-high 395 plate appearances.

  • Rays' Victor Mesa: Four-hit effort in rout

    Mesa went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Phillies.

    Mesa drove in a run on a single in the fifth inning before lacing an RBI double in the sixth. It was the 25-year-old's first career four-hit performance, and he's hitting .333 with 10 extra-base hits, 11 RBI and 17 runs scored over 22 September games. Overall, he's slashing .260/.328/.502 with 14 homers, 33 RBI, 37 runs scored and nine steals across his first 258 major-league plate appearances.

  • Aaron Nola SP | PHI

    Phillies' Aaron Nola: Struggles on short rest

    Nola (7-12) took the loss against the Rays on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits in one inning. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.

    Working on two days' rest but trying to help his club make the postseason, Nola was jumped for three runs in the first inning before departing. It was a tough regular-season finale for the veteran, though he'll finish the second half with a solid 3.33 ERA over 14 starts since the All-Star break. Overall, he posted a 4.67 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 177:59 K:BB across 175.1 innings this season and may be an option to start should the Phillies make the playoffs.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Surpasses 100 RBI in rout

    Caminero went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Phillies.

    Caminero opened the scoring with a two-run blast off Aaron Nola in the first inning, reaching 100 RBI for the second straight campaign. According to Adam Berry of MLB.com, the young third baseman became just the ninth player in history to have multiple 40-homer, 100-RBI seasons within his first four years. Overall, he's slashing .277/.361/.526 with 42 long balls, 101 RBI, 100 runs scored and three steals across 700 plate appearances with one regular-season game left to play.

  • Michael Arroyo 2B | SEA

    Mariners' Michael Arroyo: Raps out three hits

    Arroyo went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Angels.

    This is Arroyo's second multi-hit effort in a row and his fourth overall. The 21-year-old is now batting .353 over 14 games in the majors, adding one home run, two stolen bases, four RBI and five runs scored. Arroyo's plate discipline is already evident -- he has a 5:6 BB:K, and that should help him as he tries to make a full-time adjustment to the majors moving forward.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Mariners' Josh Naylor: Reaches 30-steal mark

    Naylor went 0-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Angels.

    Naylor has reached the 30-steal mark for the second year in a row. That's a rare accomplishment for a first baseman -- he's the first to post 30 steals in consecutive years since George Sisler did in three straight years from 1920-1922. Prior to Naylor's last two years, the last first baseman to have 30 steals in a campaign was Paul Goldschmidt in 2016. While the work on the basepaths has been impressive, Naylor has struggled in other areas, batting .261 with a .667 OPS, 10 home runs, 56 RBI, 48 runs scored and 22 doubles over 151 contests. That OPS is his lowest in a full-length campaign; only his .621 mark in the abbreviated 2020 campaign is worse in his eight seasons.

  • Mariners' Randy Arozarena: Nabs another steal

    Arozarena went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Angels.

    Arozarena has collected five steals over his last 14 games. He's had plenty of chances to run lately, hitting .364 (20-for-55) in that span. The outfielder is up to 26-for-34 on steal attempts this season while batting .281 with an .863 OPS, 26 home runs, 77 RBI, 32 doubles and two triples over 153 contests. Arozarena also leads the American League with 112 runs scored, trailing only Pete Crow-Armstrong (119) in the majors.
