  • Triston Casas 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Triston Casas: Hit streak reaches double digits

    Casas went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rays.

    Casas' ninth-inning single extended his hit streak to 10 games. The rookie first baseman is 15-for-36 (.417) during that stretch with four doubles, three home runs, seven walks, 11 RBI and seven runs scored.

  • Jose Abreu 1B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Abreu: Massive performance in win

    Abreu went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double and seven RBI in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Rangers.

    Abreu launched a grand slam in the third inning and padded the Astros' lead with a three-run blast in the ninth. Considering he went nearly two months without a homer to begin the season, he's done fairly well to get up to a dozen long balls this year, four of which have come in his last eight games. The first baseman is slashing .236/.295/.365 with 74 RBI, 51 runs scored and 18 doubles through 121 contests overall.

  • Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL

    White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Stays warm Wednesday

    Vaughn went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Royals.

    A meeting with Kansas City pitching has helped spark Vaughn's offense again. Over his last 16 games, he has eight multi-hit efforts and seven 0-fers. The first baseman has a career high in homers (19) and has added 72 RBI, four shy of matching his total from last year. He's maintained a respectable .259/.317/.438 slash line through 130 contests.

  • Justice Bigbie 1B | DET

    Tigers' Justice Bigbie: Promoted to Toledo

    The Tigers promoted Bigbie to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.

    The 24-year-old outfielder began 2023 with High-A West Michigan, and he'll now reach Triple-A for the final few weeks of the minor-league season. Bigbie put up impressive numbers with Double-A Erie, slashing .366/.425/.559 with 11 homers and 42 RBI across 266 plate appearances. If he manages to stay hot in Triple-A, Bigbie will likely open 2024 with Toledo and have a chance at reaching the majors later in the year.

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | PIT

    Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: On bench again Wednesday

    O'Hearn is absent from the lineup again Wednesday versus the Angels.

    This marks three straight absences for O'Hearn as the Orioles face a string of left-handed starters, though he came off the bench late in Tuesday's game and contributed an RBI single and a run scored to Baltimore's eventual extra-innings victory over the Halos. O'Hearn has drawn only 22 plate appearances against southpaws this year.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Three hits in win

    Mountcastle went 3-for-5 with one RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Angels.

    This was Mountcastle's second multi-hit effort in a row after he snapped a brief 0-for-7 skid. The first baseman hit .360 in August and continues to receive regular playing time between first base and designated hitter. For the year, he's at a strong .278/.330/.471 slash line with 18 home runs, 67 RBI, 60 runs scored and three stolen bases over 105 contests.

  • Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL

    White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Tallies 18th homer

    Vaughn went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Royals.

    Vaughn went deep in the third inning to tally his 18th homer of the season, setting a new career-best mark. He's posted a near-identical batting line to his 2022 campaign, though he has maintained his health to remain in the lineup regularly and improve his counting stats. Overall, Vaughn has settled in as a slightly above-average hitter, maintaining a 103 wRC+ across 1,550 career plate appearances.

  • Donovan Solano 1B | TEX

    Twins' Donovan Solano: Sitting out Wednesday

    Solano is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cleveland.

    Solano manned first base for the first two games of the series and went 3-for-11 with a double, a triple, three RBI and a run scored, but he'll get a breather for the day game after a night game. Edouard Julien will cover first base for the Twins in the series finale.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Guardians' Josh Naylor: Takes seat Wednesday

    Naylor is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Twins.

    Naylor was in the lineup for his first three games back from the injured list but will get some rest Wednesday in the day game after a night game. Kole Calhoun will occupy first base for the Guardians while Naylor sits.

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Triples in win

    Aranda went 1-for-2 with a triple, three walks, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Red Sox.

    Aranda got the scoring started in the second inning after Wilyer Abreu lost a flyball in the Tropicana Field catwalks, resulting in an RBI triple. The 25-year-old Aranda, who got the start at DH, would reach base three more times via walks in the contest, scoring a pair of runs. Aranda's playing time's been sparse since he was called up Aug. 15. He's gone 5-for-22 (.227) with one home run in that span. He did post eye-popping numbers in the minors, however, batting .339 with 25 homers and a 1.063 OPS across 95 Triple-A games.
