  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: On base three times in win

    Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Rays.

    Another day, another big performance from the 22-year-old. Guerrero is slashing .355/.412/.677 in September with six homers, seven RBI and 18 runs through 15 games as he tries to carry the Jays into the postseason while also pushing for a Triple Crown.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Slugs homer in loss

    Walker went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers.

    Walker's sixth-inning solo shot was the only extra-base hit of the game for Arizona, and the first baseman was the only Diamondback with multiple hits in the contest. The long ball was the first since Aug. 27 for the veteran, though he has been hitting well of late, going 5-for-13 with three runs over his past four contests.

  • Pete Alonso 1B | BAL

    Mets' Pete Alonso: Homers in loss

    Alonso went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 11-4 loss to the Cardinals.

    Alonso bashed his 33rd home run of the season in the second inning off Jon Lester before being robbed of a three-run homer by the glove of Lars Nootbaar in the seventh. Shockingly, the homer is just the 10th that Alonso has hit at home this season. He's running out of chances to put smiles on the faces of Mets faithful in 2021, as the club has just seven home games remaining.

  • Cardinals' Paul Goldschmidt: Falls triple shy of cycle

    Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a single, double, homer, three runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 11-4 win over the Mets.

    Goldschmidt fell a three-bagger shy of the cycle Wednesday but nonetheless racked up some impressive numbers. The 34-year-old has absolutely killed the Mets this season, as he's hit .370 with three home runs in seven games against New York.

  • Josh Bell DH | MIN

    Nationals' Josh Bell: Homers, doubles in loss

    Bell went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to Miami.

    The first baseman appeared to provide insurance for Washington in the eighth inning, but closer Kyle Finnegan imploded in the ninth inning. Bell has recorded three multi-hit efforts in 15 games in September, batting 15-for-54 (.278) this month. He's up to 27 homers, 83 RBI, 66 runs scored and a .256/.333/.489 slash line in 501 plate appearances overall.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Sitting Wednesday, as expected

    Cronenworth (finger) is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Giants, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    It was reported Tuesday that Cronenworth isn't expected to return until at least Friday's series opener against the Cardinals, so it's not a surprise to see him sidelined for a fifth straight game Wednesday. Fernando Tatis will continue to work at shortstop in his absence, while Jurickson Profar starts in right field.

  • Luke Voit 1B | NYM

    Yankees' Luke Voit: Swats homer Tuesday

    Voit went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 7-2 win against Baltimore on Tuesday.

    Voit joined the Yankees' power barrage against Orioles pitching, as his third-inning solo shot was one of five long balls hit by the team in the win. It was just the second home run this month for the first baseman, though that is partly due to dwindling playing time thanks to a mostly healthy offensive lineup. Still, it's worth noting that Voit blasted 22 homers in 213 at-bats during the shortened 2020 campaign but has just 10 in 201 at-bats this season.

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | PIT

    Royals' Ryan O'Hearn: Out against lefty

    O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    The lefty-hitting O'Hearn will unsurprisingly take a seat with southpaw Sean Manaea on the hill for Oakland, but the former may have reclaimed a spot in Kansas City's regular lineup versus right-handed pitching. O'Hearn went 1-for-6 with a pair of walks while starting both of the Royals' past two games versus righties, while Edward Olivares was relegated to a bench role.

  • Braves' Freddie Freeman: Reaches base three times in loss

    Freeman went 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies.

    Freeman opened up the scoring for Atlanta with an RBI base hit in the first. He would walk his next time up and then notched his second triple of the season in the eighth and later scored on a home run by Adam Duvall. The lefty slugger has at least a hit in 10 of 12 games so far in September and has had multi-hit efforts in five of his last seven contests. The 31-year-old continues to be one of the toughest outs in baseball. He's slashing .298/.392/.515 with 30 homers, 78 RBI, 108 runs scored, eight steals and 77:95 BB:K over 620 innings.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | CLE

    Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe: Launches two-run blast Tuesday

    Lowe went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Astros.

    Lowe got the scoring started for the Rangers by taking Zack Greinke deep in the first inning for a two-run blast. The 25-year-old would also draw a pair of walks and scored an additional time. The long ball was Lowe's first in September and just his third since he hit two July 1. He's done well in his first year as a starter, slashing .262/.355/.409 with 40 extra-base hits, 67 RBI, 65 runs scored, seven steals and a 71:148 BB:K over 572 plate appearances.
