  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Rowdy Tellez: Regular run against righties

    Tellez will start at first base and bat cleanup in Thursday's contest versus the Twins.

    It's his fourth start over the last five games against right-handed pitching, as Tellez has overtaken Jake Burger as the Rangers' primary first baseman. Tellez has a .915 OPS with one home run over his last nine tilts.

  • Jake Burger 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Jake Burger: Yielding to Tellez versus righties

    Burger is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Twins.

    Burger has now been out of the lineup four times across the Rangers' last five games against right-handers. Rowdy Tellez will again be at first base and bat cleanup for Texas.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Plays hero in three-hit game

    Horwitz went 3-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Reds.

    The 27-year-old first baseman dealt a potentially fatal blow to Cincinnati's playoff hopes when he launched his second two-bagger of the night into the right-field corner to lead off the 11th inning, bringing Bryan Reynolds home as the phantom runner. Horwitz is finishing up his 2025 campaign in style, slashing .300/.397/.540 over his last 16 games with six doubles, two homers, seven runs and eight RBI.

  • Michael Busch 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Michael Busch: Blasts 31st home run Tuesday

    Busch went 2-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Mets.

    Busch has been on a power surge with five home runs across his last 11 games, pushing him to a career-high 31 long balls for the season. The left-handed slugger continues to do most of his damage against righties, as he's sporting an .875 OPS and has hit 27 of his homers in those matchups, though Wednesday's shot came against New York southpaw Sean Manaea.

  • 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.

  • Rockies' Warming Bernabel: Reinstated, starting Wednesday

    The Rockies reinstated Bernabel (concussion) from the 7-day injured list, and he will start at first base and bat eighth against the Mariners on Wednesday.

    Bernabel suffered a head injury against the Dodgers on Sept. 8 and was diagnosed with a concussion following the game, but he has cleared MLB's protocol and will play Wednesday. Bernabel has slashed .264/.301/.434 with one steal, 15 runs, four home runs and 14 RBI in 136 plate appearances since making his major-league debut July 26.

  • Bryce Harper DH | PHI

    Phillies' Bryce Harper: Held out again with illness

    Harper (illness) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Marlins, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Harper is under the weather and will miss a second consecutive start. He is considered day-to-day. Otto Kemp will play first base and bat fifth for the Phillies.

  • 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.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Pops rare homer in win

    Arraez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Tuesday's victory over the Brewers.

    Arraez turned on a Bruce Zimmermann cutter in the second inning, curling it off the right-field foul pole for a two-run shot, his eighth homer of the season. It's been a down year overall for Arraez, with career lows in batting average (.288) and OPS (.711) across 151 games, but the infielder may be heating up at the right time, riding a 12-game hitting streak with an .801 OPS during that span.

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | PIT

    Padres' Ryan O'Hearn: Blasts grand slam

    O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Tuesday's victory over the Brewers.

    O'Hearn electrified the crowd Tuesday with a first-inning grand slam off Bruce Zimmermann to put the Padres on top early. After a rough start to September, the slugger has locked back in, going 10-for-20 with eight RBI and a pair of extra-base hits across his past five games. While his post-deadline production has dipped to a .711 OPS since he left the Orioles, O'Hearn's overall season has been strong, with a .276/.362/.435 line, 20 doubles, 17 homers and 62 RBI across 140 games.
