  • Nate Lowe 1B | TEX

    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.

  • Jonah Bride 3B | MIA

    Marlins' Jonah Bride: Homer in three-hit effort

    Bride went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Twins.

    Bride has gone yard three times over his last nine games, batting .324 (11-for-34) in that span. The 28-year-old is up to nine homers this season, all of which he's hit since July 31 since becoming a steady part of the Marlins' lineup. He's added a solid .264/.349/.429 slash line, 32 RBI, 27 runs scored and eight doubles across 66 contests.

  • Michael Busch 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Michael Busch: Exits after HBP

    Busch was removed from Tuesday's game against the Phillies after getting hit in the arm by a pitch, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Busch was able to remain in the game to run the bases after getting plunked, but he didn't take the field once the Cubs went back out on defense. He managed to escape the incident with only a bruise, per Montemurro, making it unlikely he sits down for an extended period of time.

  • 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.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | PIT

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: DFA'd by Pittsburgh

    The Pirates designated Tellez for assignment Tuesday.

    Tellez slashed .310/.347/.533 from the beginning of June through the end of August, but he's hit only .116/.255/.209 in September and had been seeing his playing time dwindle. The Pirates have elected to move on from the veteran now and give his at-bats to others. Billy Cook is at first base for the Pirates on Tuesday and should share that spot with Connor Joe and Jared Triolo in the final week.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | PIT

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Out again versus righty

    Tellez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Brewers.

    This is the fifth time over the Pirates' last 10 games versus righties that Tellez has been out of the lineup, as the club is getting a look at some younger players down the stretch. Billy Cook will handle first base Tuesday.

  • 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.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Returns to lineup Monday

    Walker went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Giants.

    Walker was back in the lineup after getting a day off Sunday. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo talked to Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports on Monday about giving Walker time off following his return from an oblique injury. "Yesterday I took [Christian] Walker out of the lineup... It's probably about three or four days too late to give him a day off, talking to the medical team," Lovullo said. Walker should be available for the final five games of the season.

  • Mark Canha 1B | SF

    Giants' Mark Canha: Logs steal in win

    Canha went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Canha hasn't seen much more than a short-side platoon role since he was traded from the Tigers to the Giants at the deadline. He's batting .282 with San Francisco, though he has just two extra-base hits (both doubles) and four RBI across 30 games with the team. Overall, Canha has a .240/.343/.343 slash line with seven home runs, 42 RBI, 45 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 123 games this season.
