  • Jorge Polanco 2B | NYM

    Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Homers Tuesday

    Polanco went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees.

    Polanco got the Mariners on the board early with a solo home run off Luis Gil in the second inning. The home run was just his second extra-base hit and sixth hit overall in 53 plate appearance since Aug. 30, a span during which he's hit just .128. Polanco is having by far the least productive campaign of his career, slashing just .203/.292/.346 with 15 homers, 40 RBI, 41 runs, four steals and a 44:129 BB:K in 428 plate appearances.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Ejected in ninth

    Altuve was ejected in the ninth inning of Tuesday's game against the Padres after arguing that he fouled a pitch off his foot.

    Altuve went as far as taking off his shoe and sock in an effort to prove to home-plate umpire Brennan Miller that he hit a foul ball off his foot rather than a grounder in fair territory. However, Miller didn't seem to appreciate being presented with Altuve's bare foot, so the veteran second baseman was immediately tossed from the game. He had gone 1-for-5 with two strikeouts before being ejected.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Battling shoulder injury

    Keith was removed from Tuesday's game versus Kansas City due to a right shoulder injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Keith reportedly suffered the injury on a dive during the fifth inning of Tuesday's contest, and he took himself out of the game once it began to affect his ability to throw the ball, per Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic. He's slated to undergo further testing Wednesday, at which point the Tigers will have more information on the severity of the 23-year-old's injury. If he's unable to play Wednesday, Zach McKinstry and Andy Ibanez would be candidates to fill in at second base.

  • Angels' Michael Stefanic: Sitting down Tuesday

    Stefanic isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.

    Stefanic appeared as a pinch runner during Sunday's contest, suggesting that he's moved past his calf issue, but he'll grab a seat on the bench Tuesday while Charles Leblanc starts at second base in place of the injured Brandon Drury (hamstring).

  • Brandon Drury 1B | CHW

    Angels' Brandon Drury: Remains out Tuesday

    Drury (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.

    Drury will remain on the bench for a fifth consecutive contest as he continues to nurse a left hamstring issue. Charles Leblanc will draw another start at second base and bat seventh against Chicago.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Getting breather against LHP

    Holliday isn't in the Orioles' lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

    Left-hander Blake Snell will throw the Giants' first pitch Tuesday, meaning the left-handed-hitting Holliday will retreat to the bench to begin the game. Livan Soto will start at second base in his place and bat ninth.

  • Will Wagner 2B | SD

    Blue Jays' Will Wagner: Placed on 60-day IL

    The Blue Jays placed Wagner on the 60-day injured list Tuesday due to left knee inflammation.

    Wagner's knee injury could help explain why he hasn't played in a game since Friday, and his move to the 60-day IL will officially put an early end to his season. The 26-year-old infielder will finish 2024 with a solid .305/.337/.451 slash line alongside two homers and 11 RBI through 24 games in the majors. In corresponding roster moves, Bo Bichette (calf) was activated from the 10-day IL, and Nick Robertson was claimed off waivers from the Angels (and optioned to Triple-A Buffalo) to fill the open 40-man spot.

  • Rays' Richie Palacios: Starting rehab assignment

    Palacios (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Palacios will play a few rehab games with Durham before returning from the 10-day injured list during the final week of the series if all goes well. The utility player has been sidelined since early August with a right knee sprain.

  • Rays' Christopher Morel: Back in lineup Tuesday

    Morel (Achilles) will start in left field and bat fifth in Tuesday's game versus the Red Sox.

    Morel missed each of the last two contests with right Achilles discomfort, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go as the Rays open a series against the Red Sox. Each of Morel's last three starts have been in left field after he had previously only played second base since joining Tampa Bay.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Registers steal

    Altuve went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Padres.

    Altuve was the only Astro with multiple hits in the contest, and it's the sixth time in nine games he's recorded multiple knocks. The speedy second baseman is up to 22 steals on 29 attempts this year, his most thefts in a season since 2017. He's added a steady .302/.357/.447 slash line with 19 home runs, 63 RBI and 89 runs scored over 145 contests out of the leadoff role.
