Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.

Gimenez has seven steals across his last 14 games, but he's batting a poor .208 (10-for-48) in that span. It's encouraging to see him take chances on the basepaths even when his opportunities are limited, but he has just one extra-base hit in the aforementioned sample. The second baseman is up to 23 steals on 26 attempts this year while adding a .251/.303/.328 slash line, five home runs, 50 RBI and 51 runs scored through 120 contests.

Holliday isn't in Baltimore's lineup Saturday versus the Astros.

After going 0-for-19 at the plate over his last six games, Holliday will receive a day off Saturday to collect himself. Ramon Urias will shift to second base as a result, allowing Emmanuel Rivera to start at the hot corner and bat seventh.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
