  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Out of Tampa Bay lineup

    Diaz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Detroit.

    For the second time over the last three games, Diaz will exit the lineup as he continues to see his playing time dip this month. Jonathan Aranda is getting another start at first base for the Rays while Brandon Lowe handles designated-hitter duties.

  • Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Swats pair of doubles in win

    Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and another two-bagger in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

    The rookie drove home Shea Langeliers in the first inning with his first double and later added his ninth double of the season. Soderstrom's bat has caught fire after he went 0-for-7 over his first two games back from the injured list, as he's hitting .471 (8-for-17) with four extra-base hits, five RBI, two walks and three runs over his last five games.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | WAS

    Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe: Goes deep Tuesday

    Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics.

    Lowe took Mitch Spence deep to center in the fourth for his first long ball since Sept. 12 and his third this month. Lowe has now reached safely in seven straight games, though he has five walks and just four hits over that span. For the year, he's slashing .262/.359/.386 with 14 homers, 62 RBI, 57 runs, two steals and a 69:120 BB:K in 543 plate appearances.

  • Dustin Harris 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Dustin Harris: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Rangers recalled Harris from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

    Harris will reach the majors for the first time in his career after spending the entire season with Round Rock, slashing .272/.355/.391 with 53 RBI across 486 plate appearances. Most of his starts this season have come as an outfielder, but he may be asked to handle third base occasionally until Ezequiel Duran returns from paternity leave.

  • Orioles' Ryan Mountcastle: Back from injured list Tuesday

    The Orioles reinstated Mountcastle (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    The 27-year-old has been sidelined for the past month due to a sprained left wrist, but he's ready to rejoin Baltimore after a three-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk. Mountcastle was in the midst of a 3-for-22 slump prior to the injury, and he also struggled during the rehab stint with just one hit and six strikeouts in 11 at-bats. He is not in Tuesday's lineup versus the Yankees, as Ryan O'Hearn will be at first base.

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Sitting versus Skubal

    Aranda is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Detroit.

    The left-handed hitter has homered in three straight contests, but with southpaw ace Tarik Skubal on the bump for the Tigers in this one, Aranda will take a seat. Brandon Lowe will be at first base for the Rays in the series opener.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Another three-hit effort Sunday

    Guerrero went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

    All the knocks were singles, but it was still Guerrero's fourth three-hit performance in the last week. The 25-year-old is raking to close out a mostly disappointing season for the Blue Jays, and through 17 games in September he's slashing .348/.416/.536 with three homers, 11 RBI and 15 runs.

  • Austin Shenton 3B | SEA

    Rays' Austin Shenton: Sent down to minors

    The Rays optioned Shenton to their spring training complex Monday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    The minor-league season for Triple-A Durham is over, so Shenton will stay in shape at the team's spring training facility in case he's needed later this week. Shenton has put up a .745 OPS over 50 plate appearances during his time in the majors this season.

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Goes deep in third straight

    Aranda went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Blue Jays.

    Aranda struck out in three of his four plate appearances, but he made his one hit count to tally his sixth homer of the season. He has now gone yard in three straight games, and he has hit .294 with five homers, eight RBI and 10 runs scored across 15 games since he became a regular starter in early September.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Homers in win Sunday

    Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.

    Kerry Carpenter went deep twice, and Torkelson tacked on his ninth long ball of the year to give Detroit possession of the last AL wild-card spot for the moment. Torkelson had a sluggish start to the season, but he's been better lately, batting .273 over his last 10 contests with the one home run and four RBI. The 25-year-old should continue to see regular playing time in the final week of the regular season.
