  • 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.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Sitting in second straight

    India is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    The Royals will hold India out of the lineup for the second day in a row while he's stuck in a 5-for-32 slump. Michael Massey will step in for India at the keystone.

  • 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 | COL

    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.

  • 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.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Out of lineup Saturday

    Moore isn't in the starting nine against Houston on Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Moore has recently seen his playing time surge back up, as he came into Saturday having started four of the Angels' previous five games, going 4-for-15 with a home run during that span. However, he'll begin on the bench Saturday while Luis Rengifo starts at second base.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Not starting Saturday

    India is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus Detroit.

    India had started in each of the Royals' past 12 games, batting a paltry .179 (7-for-39) with one home run and three RBI during that stretch. He'll get at least a partial day to reset Saturday while Michael Massey plays second base and Adam Frazier serves as the DH.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Reaches 25-25 milestone

    Chisholm stole his 25th base of the season while going 0-for-3 with two walks and two runs in Friday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

    With Chisholm's stolen base Friday, he's up to 25 thefts to go along with his 26 home runs on the campaign, marking the first time in his career he's reached the 25-25 mark. Among MLB hitters this season, only Jose Ramirez, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Francisco Lindor got to the 25-25 mark more quickly than Chisholm. Much of Chisholm's stolen-base total has come over the past three weeks -- he's gone 11-for-11 in theft attempts across his past 17 contests and has swiped one bag in each of his past three games.
