  • Nate Lowe 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe: Three hits, two RBI in loss

    Lowe went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.

    Lowe has five multi-hit efforts over his last nine games, going 14-for-29 (.483) with eight RBI in that span. The first baseman provided a pair of RBI singles in Friday's contest, though it wasn't quite enough to fend off the Mariners' late comeback. Lowe is slashing .269/.365/.395 with 13 home runs, 58 RBI, 55 runs scored and two stolen bases over 126 contests this season.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SD

    Padres' Luis Arraez: Gets on base four times

    Arraez went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's 5-0 win over the Giants.

    Arraez has three hits in four of his last five games, and he's hit a stellar .455 (30-for-66) over his last 15 contests. Just two hits during that longer span have gone for extra bases though, both of them doubles. The slap hitter is up to a .320/.354/.390 slash line with four home runs, 42 RBI, 78 runs scored, nine stolen bases, 25 doubles and two triples over 138 games between the Padres and the Marlins this year.

  • Rhys Hoskins 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Rhys Hoskins: Provides offense in win

    Hoskins went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Hoskins' fourth-inning blast was enough to give the Brewers the lead for good. The first baseman has struggled in September, going 4-for-30 (.133) over 10 contests, though two of those hits are homers. For the year, he's at a .207/.294/.409 slash line, 24 long balls, 73 RBI, 51 runs scored and three stolen bases over 118 games.

  • Niko Kavadas 1B | LAA

    Angels' Niko Kavadas: Sitting versus lefty

    Kavadas isn't in the Angels' lineup for Friday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Riding pine Friday

    Diaz is not in Friday's lineup against the Guardians.

    Jonathan Aranda draws the start at first base while batting sixth against righty Tanner Bibee. Diaz is hitting .389 with two home runs, four runs and six RBI in 10 games this month.

  • Justin Turner 1B | SEA

    Mariners' Justin Turner: Lifts 10th homer Thursday

    Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Rangers on Thursday.

    The veteran turned on a Kumar Rocker offering in the fourth inning and sent it 401 feet to center field for his 10th home run of the season, and the Mariners' first run of the game. Turner has reached base safely in eight consecutive contests and in 12 straight starts overall, mustering a .279/.407/.535 slash line with five extra-base hits, five RBI, 10 runs and a modest 13.0 percent strikeout rate over his last 54 plate appearances.

  • Tyler Nevin 3B | OAK

    Athletics' Tyler Nevin: Smacks seventh homer

    Nevin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.

    Nevin gave the A's some life in the ninth inning with an opposite-field blast off Josh Hader, cutting Houston's lead to 6-3. It's Nevin's first home run since July 6 -- he'd gone just 9-for-62 (.145) with a .419 OPS in 26 games coming into Thursday. The 27-year-old Nevin is slashing .196/.287/.329 through 251 plate appearances this season with seven homers, 18 RBI and 20 runs scored while being limited to the occasional start against left-handed pitching.

  • Astros' Jon Singleton: Three hits, two doubles in win

    Singleton went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Thursday's 6-3 win over Oakland.

    It's the first multi-hit game in over a month for Singleton -- he'd gone just 10-for-46 (.217) in his previous 20 contests, though he posted a solid .858 OPS with four home runs in that span. Overall, Singleton's slashing .239/.322/.393 with 13 homers, 38 RBI and 45 runs scored in 376 plate appearances.

  • Nate Lowe 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe: Continues productive month

    Lowe went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.

    Lowe was instrumental in the Rangers' come-from-behind win. He homered to lead off the seventh inning, closing the gap to 4-2, then he delivered the game-winning run with a single in the eighth. It's been a good month for Lowe, who's batting .375 (12-for-32) with a 1.094 OPS, two home runs, seven RBI, eight walks and four runs scored over 11 contests.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Drives in runs Thursday

    Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Rockies.

    Torkelson dealt with an illness recently, but he appears to be recovered and ready to keep contributing for the Tigers. Since returning to the majors on Aug. 17, the 25-year-old is batting .253 with 13 RBI in 24 games. Torkelson is still bit of a streaky performer, though he's a legitimate power threat when he's locked in. Expect him to continue receiving regular playing time during the final few weeks of the year.
