  • Eric Wagaman 1B | MIN

    Angels' Eric Wagaman: Hits first big-league homer

    Wagaman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-4 loss to the White Sox.

    Wagaman has picked up steady playing time since joining the Angels on Sept. 10. He's started five straight games at third base in the absence of Brandon Drury (hamstring), including four times versus right-handed pitchers. Wagaman has hit .200 (4-for-20), though all four of his hits have gone for extra bases (one homer, three doubles).

  • Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL

    White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Homer, triple in win

    Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI triple and a walk in Monday's 8-4 win over the Angels.

    Vaughn's bat remains scorching hot -- he has seven multi-hit efforts over his last 10 games. In that span, he's gone 16-for-41 (.390) with three homers and seven RBI. The first baseman continues to see steady playing time between first base and designated hitter. He's slashing .248/.301/.410 with 18 homers, 66 RBI, 53 runs scored, two stolen bases, 29 doubles and one triple across 138 games this season.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Exits early vs. Astros

    Arraez left Monday's game against Houston due to an apparent lower-body injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Arraez appeared to suffer the injury during a play at the plate in the bottom of the fifth inning and limped off the field with the team trainer. He was later able to take his scheduled at-bat in the seventh and swatted a double, but the Padres elected to deploy a pinch runner after Arraez limped into second base. The 27-year-old is likely headed back to the clubhouse for further evaluation and can be considered day-to-day until the team has more information on his status moving forward.

  • Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Smacks three-run homer in win

    Freeman went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Monday's 9-0 win over Atlanta.

    Freeman put an exclamation mark on a six-run seventh inning for the Dodgers with a three-run blast off Aaron Bummer. The first baseman has gone just 6-for-34 with two extra-base hits over his past 10 games but has notched hits in three straight contests. On the season, he is hitting .280 with 22 home runs, 87 RBI, 77 runs scored and seven steals across 599 plate appearances.

  • Astros' Jon Singleton: Out again Monday

    Singleton (illness) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game in San Diego, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Singleton had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup due to illness and is still absent Monday. It's not clear whether he will be available off the bench. Yainer Diaz will handle first base while Victor Caratini does the catching against the Padres.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | TEX

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Held out of lineup vs. righty

    Tellez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    Tellez is typically absent from the lineup against left-handed starting pitchers, but he'll take a seat Monday for the second time in the Pirates' past three matchups with righties. Connor Joe will step in at first base in place of Tellez, who may be starting to lose some job security after producing a .485 OPS thus far in September.

  • Jake Bauers RF | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Heads to bench vs. lefty

    Bauers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

    Bauers had started in both of the Brewers' two matchups with right-handed starting pitchers in Arizona over the weekend, but he'll head to the bench Monday while southpaw Ranger Suarez takes the hill for Philadelphia. Though he produced three hits over the weekend, Bauers is batting just .163 since the All-Star break.

  • Joey Gallo LF | CHW

    Nationals' Joey Gallo: Idle against lefty

    Gallo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    After starting in each of the Nationals' previous four games, the lefty-hitting Gallo will head to the bench while Washington takes on southpaw Sean Manaea in the series opener at Citi Field. Juan Yepez will enter the lineup in Gallo's stead, occupying first base while batting third.

  • Michael Busch 3B | CHC

    Cubs' Michael Busch: Blasts off twice Sunday

    Busch went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs and an additional RBI in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Rockies.

    Busch was out of the starting lineup Saturday but returned with a bang Sunday and enjoyed the series finale at Coors Field. The 26-year-old reached 20 home runs for the first time in his young career, which should solidify his role as Chicago's first baseman moving into 2025 and beyond. Busch has been limited to just 80 at-bats against lefties all season, which has limited his upside to a degree, but he's still been a pleasant surprise for fantasy purposes after coming into the year with a very limited MLB track record.

  • Jonah Bride 3B | TEX

    Marlins' Jonah Bride: Clubs homer

    Bride went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Nationals.

    Bride notched his seventh long ball of the season, taking Eduardo Salazar yard in the seventh inning. Bride has generated a hit in eight of his last nine games, going 11-for-33 (.333) with two home runs, six runs and five RBI during that stretch.
