Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Pops two-run double in win
Schneemann started at second base and went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rays. He was also caught stealing.
Schneemann was integral to the win, which vaulted Cleveland above Tampa Bay in the postseason chase. He popped a two-run, bases-loaded double to left-center to put the Guardians on top in the fourth inning. He later led off the ninth with a single and scored the game-winning run. The offense came out of nowhere for Schneemann, who entered the contest on a 1-for-25 skid over the previous eight games.

Torres is up to 15 homers on the year, reaching that mark for a fourth straight season, and he remains on course for a career-high OBP with a .261/.363/.399 slash line through 127 contests.

Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Sparks comeback with homer
Holliday went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.
Holliday broke up Yoshinobu Yamamoto's no-hit bid with a two-out solo homer in the bottom of the ninth, kickstarting a comeback win by the Orioles. The 21-year-old has now hit safely in eight of his past nine games, collecting six extra-base hits, four RBI, six runs scored and three stolen bases during that stretch.

Ramon Urias 2B | HOU
Astros' Ramon Urias: Out of Friday's starting lineup
Urias is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Rangers on Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Urias has started in each of Houston's last four games, but he went 0-for-10 with one RBI and six strikeouts during the Astros' three-game home series against the Yankees. He'll be on the bench for the start of Friday's contest while Jose Altuve starts at the keystone and Yordan Alvarez serves as the designated hitter.

Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Not in Friday's starting lineup
Dubon is not in Houston's starting lineup against Texas on Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Dubon will be on the bench for the beginning of Friday's contest while Jesus Sanchez, Taylor Trammell and Cam Smith start in the outfield from left to right. Dubon has a .503 OPS with eight runs, three doubles, one homer and five RBI in 93 plate appearances since the beginning of August.

Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Good to go Friday
Chisholm (knees) is in the starting lineup and batting sixth for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.
Chisholm was removed from Thursday's game versus Houston in the fourth inning due to bruised knees. Testing after the game came back clean, and Chisholm apparently feels good enough to play in Friday's American League East showdown with Toronto. Chisholm has a .938 OPS over the last 30 days.

Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Getting breather Friday
Sosa is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Tigers.
It looks to be a routine day off for Sosa, who had started each of the previous 11 tilts. Curtis Mead will cover first base in Sosa's stead.

Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE
Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Wallops first Triple-A homer
Bazzana went 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored for Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.
Twenty games into his stay at the highest level of the minors, Bazzana launched his first home run for the Clippers in style, as his two-run shot was a walk-off job. The first overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft has endured some struggles in his first go-around at Triple-A and entered the night batting just .182 over 19 games for Columbus. However, Bazzana has exhibited a keen eye, posting a .415 on-base percentage.

Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN
Twins' Luke Keaschall: Smacks four hits in loss
Keaschall went 4-for-5 with an RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Thursday's 11-8 loss to the White Sox.
Keaschall had gone five games without a multi-hit effort prior to Thursday, but he busted that slump with the first four-hit performance of his young career. He's had no trouble against major-league pitching over his first 33 games, slashing .328/.418/.508 with four home runs, 21 RBI, 18 runs scored, nine stolen bases and 10 doubles across 141 plate appearances. Keaschall should continue to see a near-everyday role at second base in the final few weeks of the campaign.
