  • Seth Brown LF | ATH

    Athletics' Seth Brown: Rips go-ahead triple in loss

    Brown went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple, a walk and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

    Brown provided one of four multi-hit efforts on the afternoon for the Athletics, and his first triple of 2024 drove home Shea Langeliers in the 10th inning to snap a 2-2 tie. Brown now has multi-hit tallies in four consecutive starts, with Sunday's three-bagger his third extra-base hit in that stretch. His hot bat dates further back, however -- factoring in Sunday's production, the veteran outfielder boasts a .375 average across his last nine games.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Belts two-run homer

    Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Red Sox.

    Torkelson's two-run blast in the fifth was the first hit of the day for the Tigers and provided a lead they would not relinquish. It was Torkelson's eighth homer of the season and his fourth in 15 games since returning to the majors.

  • Kody Clemens 1B | MIN

    Phillies' Kody Clemens: Gets call to majors

    The Phillies recalled Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

    Clemens will provide an extra left-handed bat for the Philadelphia infield, but he won't enter the lineup Sunday against Atlanta right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach, even with everyday third baseman Alec Bohm (hand) out of the lineup for the third game in a row. The Phillies will go with Edmundo Sosa at third base, but both he and Clemens are likely to serve as bench players for the foreseeable future, as Bohm worked out on the field Sunday and could be ready to return to the lineup following Monday's team off day. Over his previous two stints with the big club this season, Clemens hit .242 with three home runs, 10 RBI and eight runs over 65 plate appearances.

  • Niko Kavadas 1B | LAA

    Angels' Niko Kavadas: Sitting in second straight game

    Kavadas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    The left-handed-hitting Kavadas' run as a regular in the Angels lineup could be coming to an end; he'll now head to the bench for the second straight matchup with a right-hander. Since getting called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Aug. 16, Kavadas has gone 3-for-34 (.088 average) with one home run and a 48.6 percent strikeout rate.

  • Justin Turner 1B | CHC

    Mariners' Justin Turner: Back on bench Sunday

    Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Turner had started in six of the Mariners' previous seven contests, but all but one of those came against left-handed starting pitchers. The 39-year-old looks like he'll fill the short side of a platoon at first base with Luke Raley while Seattle has all of its key bats available.

  • Jake Burger 3B | TEX

    Marlins' Jake Burger: Resting Sunday

    Burger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    After seeing his six-game hitting streak come to an end with an 0-for-4, two-strikeout showing in Saturday's 4-3 win, Burger will get a breather for the series finale. He'll give way at first base to David Hensley in what amounts to Burger's first day off since July 25.

  • Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe: On bench Sunday

    Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    Lowe will hit the bench Sunday after a run of 22 straight starts, during which he posted a .237/.322/.350 slash line with just four extra-base hits. The 29-year-old's bat has been a bit livelier of late, however, as he's gone 7-for-18 with a double and a homer during his ongoing five-game hit streak.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Receiving Sunday off

    Guerrero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Guerrero started the previous eight games and will get a day off Sunday after going 14-for-31 (.452 average) with four doubles and a homer during that span. Spencer Horwitz will take over at first base while Davis Schneider receives a turn at designated hitter.

  • Giants' Mark Canha: Logs steal in loss

    Canha went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

    Canha has been mostly limited to a short-side platoon role since he was traded from the Tigers to the Giants, but he got a rare start versus a right-hander amid LaMonte Wade's slump. Since the trade, Canha has gone 13-for-47 (.277) with no home runs, three RBI, three runs scored and two doubles. He's at a .237/.340/.346 slash line with seven homers, five steals, 41 RBI, 45 runs scored and 19 doubles over 432 plate appearances this season, which has him on pace for one of the worst years of his career.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ARI

    Twins' Carlos Santana: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Santana is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, LaVelle E. Neal III of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Santana started the previous six games and will receive a day off after going 1-for-19 with a double and a 4:6 BB:K during that stretch. Jose Miranda will take over at first base and bat second in the series finale versus Toronto.
