  • Will Wagner 2B | SD

    Blue Jays' Will Wagner: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Wagner isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

    Wagner has slashed .344/.364/.438 with five RBI through the first 10 games of his MLB career. He'll get a chance to rest Saturday, opening up second base for Davis Schneider.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Blasts 17th home run

    Altuve went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Orioles.

    Altuve had one home run in July, but he went deep for the third time in his last 13 games Friday. He also has three stolen bases across 19 starts in August, and his 18 steals for the season match his highest mark since 2017.

  • Rays' Christopher Morel: Lifts homer in loss

    Morel went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Dodgers.

    Morel has four multi-hit efforts over his last seven games. His homer Friday was his first in August though, and he's batting a meager .176 (12-for-68) over 18 contests this month. Morel has gotten steady playing time since being acquired from the Cubs, but he's yet to do much with it. For the season, he has a .196/.298/.363 slash line with 21 homers, 55 RBI, 51 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 123 games.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Reaches twice, scores in loss

    Keith went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 10-2 loss to the Cubs.

    Keith was the only Detroit player with multiple hits as the team finished with just five hits overall in a sluggish performance. The rookie continues to have a solid campaign following a slow start to the season, as he's now batting .258 overall after finishing April with just a .154 batting average. Keith has plenty of room for further growth, making the 23-year-old a potential 2025 breakout candidate.

  • Brandon Drury 1B | CHW

    Angels' Brandon Drury: Sitting out second straight

    Drury is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Toronto.

    It's the second day in a row that Drury's name has been absent from the Angels' lineup card after he had started each of the previous four tilts. Michael Stefanic will occupy second base in this one.

  • Andy Ibanez 2B | LAD

    Tigers' Andy Ibanez: Hitting second against lefty

    Ibanez will start in left field and bat second in Thursday's game against the Cubs.

    With a southpaw (Justin Steele) on the hill for the Cubs, the Tigers are giving three of their lefty-hitting regulars (Riley Greene, Parker Meadows and Trey Sweeney) the afternoon off while opening up a prominent spot in the lineup for Ibanez. The 31-year-old utility man should remain a fixture in the lineup versus lefties for the rest of the season, as he's produced a. 958 OPS in those matchups so far in 2024.

  • Zack Gelof 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Records 16th steal

    Gelof went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Rays.

    Gelof singled in the bottom of the seventh before going on to steal his 16th bag of the campaign and his fourth this month. The second baseman is slashing just .232/.317/.393 in August with two homers, four RBI and seven runs scored. However, he's picked it up a bit as of late, batting .276 (13-for-47) over his last 13 games with four multi-hit performances in that span.

  • Blue Jays' Spencer Horwitz: On base four times in loss

    Horwitz went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 11-7 loss to the Reds.

    The 26-year-old slugged a two-run homer off Nick Martinez in the first inning, giving Horwitz his second long ball in as many games and his eighth of the year in 63 big-league contests. The multi-hit performance was his first since Aug. 9 though, and he's had trouble providing consistency to the Toronto lineup. Through 18 games in August, Horwitz is slashing .238/.338/.476 with three doubles, four home runs, nine RBI and 13 runs.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | MIN

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Racks up four hits in rout

    Julien went 4-for-5 with a double and three runs in Wednesday's 11-4 victory against the Padres.

    Julien entered Wednesday having collected just two hits over 10 at-bats since returning from the minors Aug. 15. He doubled that hit total in the rout over the Padres, notching his first four-hit game since August of last year. He's gaining some traction in the Twins' lineup, starting four of the team's past six games with Brooks Lee on the injured list due to a shoulder injury.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | KC

    Royals' Adam Frazier: Getting regular run versus righties

    Frazier will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Dating back to Aug. 10, Frazier is hitting .421 over a stretch of eight games, and he's now picked up six consecutive starts against right-handed pitchers. Four of those six starts have come in right field, where he could be displacing Hunter Renfroe as the Royals' preferred option. The Royals will make room in the lineup Wednesday for both Frazier and Renfroe, however, with the latter player filling in at designated hitter for a resting Freddy Fermin.
