  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Two hits in return

    Schanuel went 2-for-6 with one RBI in Monday's 8-5 extra-innings win over the Mariners.

    Schanuel was sidelined with shoulder soreness over the weekend. He hit leadoff and played the full 11-inning game at first base in his return to the lineup. The 21-year-old rookie has hit .275 with three RBI, 13 runs scored and a 14:11 BB:K over his first 18 contests, but he has just one extra-base hit, a double, to his name.

  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Knocks four hits

    Diaz went 4-for-6 with a home run, a double and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Twins.

    Diaz scored a run in the first inning but did most of his damage with a solo shot in the sixth. It was his third straight multi-hit game and he reached the 20-homer mark for the first time in his career. Since the start of August, he's gone 47-for-138 (.341) with six homers, raising his season slash line to .324/.404/.513 through 545 plate appearances.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Will lead off Monday

    Schanuel (shoulder) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    A sore shoulder prevented Schanuel from seeing any action Saturday or Sunday, but he has put that behind him and will lead off like he usually does Monday night.

  • Triston Casas 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Triston Casas: Launches three-run homer

    Casas went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-3 win against Baltimore.

    The 23-year-old went 0-for-9 across the first two games of the series to snap a 10-game hit streak, but he found his power stroke during the sixth inning Sunday to give the Red Sox some breathing room. Casas has an .893 OPS through nine games in September and has a .263/.365/.494 slash line with 24 homers, 64 RBI and 65 runs in 485 plate appearances for the season.

  • Ryan Noda 1B | BAL

    Athletics' Ryan Noda: On base thrice in loss

    Noda went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

    Noda extended his modest hitting streak to three games with Sunday's multi-hit effort, his first since Sept. 1. The rookie is heading into the final stretch of the regular season with some solid momentum, having posted a .273/.385/.839 slash line with six extra-base hits and 10 RBI across the 19 games he's played since returning from an injured list stint due to a jaw fracture. Noda has also encouragingly demonstrated an improvement in his ability to make consistent contact during that sample -- he posted a 32.5 percent strikeout rate in the first 100 games of the season, but he's cut that figure down to 24.4 percent since his IL return.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Doubles, drives in two Sunday

    Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win over the White Sox.

    Torkelson has done much of his damage this year with the long ball, but he managed to make an impact Sunday without going deep. The youngster is off to a good start this month, batting .333 in September with six extra-base hits and nine RBI in just nine games. Torkelson seems primed to finish his second MLB campaign on a high note over the next few weeks.

  • Kole Calhoun 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kole Calhoun: Accounts for only run in loss

    Calhoun went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Angels.

    Calhoun went yard in the second inning, but it was the only run the Guardians could manufacture against one of his former teams. The 35-year-old was solid after joining Cleveland in August, but he's gone just 5-for-31 (.161) over nine games in September. The slump has yet to cost him playing time, but the recent returns of David Fry and Josh Naylor could eventually lead to Calhoun slipping out of a near-everyday role. Calhoun is slashing .241/.325/.398 with four homers, 17 RBI, 14 runs scored and five doubles through 29 contests.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Guardians' Josh Naylor: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Naylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Naylor started the previous three games but will receive Sunday off after going 3-for-10 with a home run, three walks, five RBI and a stolen base. David Fry will handle first base in the series finale versus the Halos.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Still out Sunday

    Schanuel (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    It's the second straight absence for Schanuel, who exited Friday's game with shoulder tightness. Mike Moustakas will receive another look at first base while Eduardo Escobar starts at third.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Takes seat Sunday

    Mountcastle is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox.

    Ryan O'Hearn will play first base and bat cleanup versus the Red Sox and right-hander Brayan Bello. Mountcastle went 0-for-11 with four strikeouts across the first two games of the Orioles' three-game weekend series in Boston.
