Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Swats game-winning homer
Sosa went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Yankees.
The Chicago infielder gave his team a lead it didn't surrender with a 418-foot solo shot off New Yorker reliever Tim Hill in the eighth. The long ball caps a breakout power month for Sosa in August, as he hit .241 with eight homers, 20 RBI and 13 runs scored in 27 games. The 25-year-old should continue to occupy a key lineup spot thanks to his 18 homers, 61 RBI, 45 runs scored and .735 OPS through 457 total plate appearances.

Holliday prevented the Orioles from being shut out when he hit an RBI double in the ninth inning. He's gone 6-for-14 (.429) over his last four games while adding three extra-base hits and two steals in that span. The 21-year-old is up to 14 steals on 23 attempts while adding 15 home runs, 51 RBI, 62 runs scored, 19 doubles, three triples and a .246/.313/.384 slash line through 128 games this season.

Rays' Brandon Lowe: Knocks grand slam
Lowe went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's win over Washington.
Lowe ripped a grand slam during the Rays' six-run second inning. It was his 28th long ball of the year and fourth in his last eight games. He leads all MLB second basemen in home runs and RBI (71) this season. Lowe owns a .264/.319/.493 slash line through 113 games and is approaching his first 30-homer campaign since 2021.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Goes deep in loss
Schneemann went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Seattle.
The Guardians utility man started at second before eventually shifting to third and snapped a 19-game long-ball draught in this contest. Schneeman cracked a 408-foot, two-run homer off Mariners starter Bryce Miller in the third to tally his team's only runs of the game. Schneeman, who is in a strong-side platoon role, is now slashing .220/.301/.381 with 11 homers, eight steals, 41 runs scored and 34 RBI across 357 total plate appearances.

Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL
Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Exiting lineup Sunday
Dubon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
The versatile Dubon will hit the bench after starting 11 straight games across three different positions. His last two starts came in center field, where he could end up seeing the bulk of his playing time until Jake Meyers (calf) is ready to return from the injured list.

David Hamilton SS | BOS
Red Sox's David Hamilton: On bench against righty
Hamilton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Though Hamilton has posted a 1.053 OPS in six games since being called up from Triple-A Worcester on Aug. 21, the Red Sox aren't yet ready to give him consistent playing time. He'll be on the bench for a second straight matchup with a right-handed starter (Mitch Keller), clearing the way for Romy Gonzalez to shift from first base to the keystone in Nathaniel Lowe's return from the paternity list.

Edouard Julien 2B | MIN
Twins' Edouard Julien: On bench for third straight
Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
The Twins have now left Julien out of the lineup for three consecutive contests, which follows a stretch of four straight starts in which he went 2-for-13 with a double and three walks. Julien has produced a poor .545 OPS since getting called up from Triple-A St. Paul on Aug. 1 and may play second fiddle to Kody Clemens at first base in September.

Jeremiah Jackson SS | BAL
Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Plates four runs in victory
Jackson went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and four total RBI in an 11-1 win over the Giants on Saturday.
Jackson plated Baltimore's first runs of the game with a two-run homer in the third inning and added a two-run double in the eighth. The rookie extended his hitting streak to 10 games, during which he's slashing .326/.356/.558 with his first two MLB homers, four doubles, 10 RBI and six runs. Jackson's hot bat has helped him hold onto an everyday spot in the Orioles' lineup -- he's started 10 straight games, manning either third base or right field.

Dylan Moore 2B | TEX
Rangers' Dylan Moore: Hits first homer with new team
Moore went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Athletics.
Moore didn't start Saturday, but he came in off the bench as a pinch hitter. His blast came in his second at-bat, as he took Osvaldo Bido deep in the ninth inning. Moore is an option to provide coverage all around an ailing infield -- the Rangers are missing Marcus Semien (foot), Corey Seager (appendectomy) and Jake Burger (wrist) among their usual starters. Moore will likely get most of his starts versus left-handed pitchers, but his defensive versatility will make him a frequent late-game replacement. Between Texas and Seattle, he has a .199/.267/.378 slash line with 10 homers, 22 RBI, 30 runs scored and 12 stolen bases over 217 plate appearances.
