  • Jake Burger 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Sitting Wednesday

    Burger is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Twins on Wednesday.

    Burger has gone 0-for-17 with eight strikeouts and one RBI over his last five games. He'll be on the bench for the beginning of Wednesday's contest while Rowdy Tellez starts at first base and bats out of the cleanup spot.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | BOS

    Red Sox's Nathaniel Lowe: Bounces back Tuesday

    Lowe went 2-for-2 with two walks, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Lowe singled in Boston's first two runs and extended a hit streak to six games. It was a nice bounce-back effort for Lowe, who had struck out twice with the bases loaded and left five runners in scoring position during Sunday's loss to the Rays. He's gone 7-for-17 with six walks, five RBI and four runs scored during his streak.

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Could return as soon as Thursday

    Aranda (wrist) could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Thursday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Aranda has been sidelined since late July with a fractured left wrist but hasn't given up hope on a late-season return. The 27-year-old has been playing in backfield games at the Rays' spring training complex in Florida and will join the major-league club Wednesday to take batting practice and field grounders. If that goes well, he should be active for the final few games of the regular season.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Mariners' Josh Naylor: Clutch double in win

    Naylor went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

    Naylor came through in the clutch, ripping a bases-clearing double with two outs in the eighth inning to put the Mariners ahead and help secure a postseason berth. Since arriving from the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline, he's maintained his production, posting an .819 OPS in Seattle after logging an .807 mark in Arizona. For the season, the first baseman owns a .292/.351/.461 slash line with 28 doubles, 20 homers, 91 RBI and 28 stolen bases across 144 games.

  • Ty France 1B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ty France: Lands on injured list

    The Blue Jays placed France on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left oblique inflammation.

    France's injury will force him to miss the remainder of the regular season, though he will be eligible to return before the start of the ALDS. His move to the IL will clear a roster spot for Anthony Santander (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Drives in two runs in win

    Guerrero went 2-for-5 with a two-run double and a run scored during the Blue Jays' 8-5 win over the Royals on Sunday.

    Guerrero entered Sunday's game having gone just 4-for-27 (.148) over his past seven outings. He was better at the plate in Sunday's series finale and gave the Blue Jays a three-run lead in the fifth with a two-run double before coming home to score on an Addison Barger RBI double. Since the All-Star break, Guerrero has a .953 OPS with one steal, 11 home runs and 37 RBI over 242 plate appearances.

  • Jake Burger 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Sharing work with Tellez

    Burger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Burger and Rowdy Tellez have now split playing time at first base against right-handed pitching over the past four games, with both players garnering two starts apiece. Though Burger appeared to have settled in as the primary first baseman upon his return from the injured list Sept. 1, he's gone 0-for-13 with seven strikeouts over his last four contests and seems to have lost some job security in the process.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Blasts off again Saturday

    Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta.

    Torkelson went deep for the second straight day against Atlanta, giving him 31 home runs for the season, which ties his career high from 2023. The slugger has been locked in lately with a 1.110 OPS and three long balls across his last 10 games. Detroit has seven games left in the regular season, giving Torkelson a good shot at setting a new high-water mark in home runs.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Lifts 11th homer

    Schanuel went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Rockies.

    This was Schanuel's second game back from a bruised left wrist that landed him on the injured list in late August. He's gone 3-for-9 with two extra-base hits since his return, so it looks like he's fully healthy for the final week of the season. He's produced a .268/.355/.391 slash line with 11 homers, 52 RBI, 63 runs scored and five stolen bases over 127 contests in his second full campaign.

  • Astros' Christian Walker: Sitting amid slump

    Walker is not in Saturday's lineup against the Mariners, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Walker is hitless with nine strikeouts in his last four games, so he's getting a day to clear his head. Victor Caratini gets the start at first base, batting fifth.
