  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Exiting starting nine

    Schneemann is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Detroit.

    Schneemann had started the last three games and nine of the last 10 tilts, but he'll begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Nolan Jones will patrol center field and bat seventh for the Guardians.

  • Zack Gelof 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Sitting in third straight game

    Gelof is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    The right-handed-hitting Gelof finds himself on the bench for the third game in a row, this time sitting against a right-hander (Lucas Giolito) after his prior two absences from the lineup came versus lefty starters. The Athletics had been deploying Gelof as their everyday second baseman following his call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Aug. 25, but he's slashed a disappointing .230/.277/.377 with a 43.9 percent strikeout rate since that time. He appears to have moved into a reserve role while the Athletics have turned to Darell Hernaiz at second base and Brett Harris at third.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Left out of lineup Wednesday

    India is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Mariners.

    India has now started six of eight games since returning from the injured list, going 6-for-21 with two doubles over that time. The Royals will go with Adam Frazier at second base Wednesday in place of India.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Goes deep in loss

    Torres went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Guardians.

    Torres struck in the third inning with his second home run of September and 16th of the season. Outside of the long balls, it's mostly been a struggle this month for the Detroit infielder, as he's batting just .152 across 13 games. Overall, Torres has been much better with a .254 average through 135 games, and his 16 homers and 73 RBI have both surpassed the totals he posted last year with the Yankees.

  • Cody Freeman SS | TEX

    Rangers' Cody Freeman: Returns to lineup Tuesday

    Freeman started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a steal and a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to Houston.

    Freeman was back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench for the series opener Monday. He had started seven consecutive games prior to Monday. The stolen base was his first and the homer his third of the season. Freeman is slashing .229/.253/.386 over 27 contests and should continue to get opportunities with Marcus Semien (foot) on the shelf.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Knocks in two

    Altuve went 1-for-2 with two RBI on Tuesday against the Rangers.

    Altuve started his second consecutive game since returning from a foot injury. He tallied a sacrifice fly in the first inning before delivering an RBI single three frames later. While this was a positive performance, Altuve has gone only 8-for-49 (.163) with seven RBI and five runs scored across 14 games in September.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Two RBI Tuesday

    Sosa went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Orioles.

    Sosa delivered a two-RBI single in the eighth inning, playing his part in a five-run rally for the White Sox. He's tallied nine RBI and eight runs scored across 13 games in September, though he's gone only 11-for-53 (.207) in that span.

  • Tristan Gray SS | MIN

    Rays' Tristan Gray: Tallies three hits

    Gray went 3-for-4 with an RBI on Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

    Gray has gotten sporadic playing time around the infield, with Tuesday marking his second straight start -- one at shortstop and one at third base. He delivered an RBI single in the eighth inning, and he's now gone 8-for-25 with five RBI and five runs scored across his last 10 games.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Homers, drives in four

    Lowe went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's loss to Toronto.

    Lowe put the Rays on the board with a somewhat controversial three-run shot in the third inning -- it held up on replay even though a fan was ruled to have reached over the outfield wall and interfered with the play -- and later added an RBI single in the ninth. He snapped a 13-game homerless drought, during which he posted a .503 OPS with 23 punchouts. Lowe now owns a .258/.309/.476 slash line with 29 home runs and 79 RBI through 127 games.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Stepping out of lineup

    Keaschall is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Keaschall will hit the bench after a run of 12 straight starts, during which he batted .320 (16-for-50) with three walks, two doubles, five steals, eight RBI and seven runs. Austin Martin will shift to second base while James Outman receives a start in left field.
