    Mariners' Cole Young: Not in Wednesday's starting lineup

    Young is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Rays on Wednesday.

    Young will be on the bench for beginning of Wednesday's game while Jorge Polanco shifts to the keystone, Cal Raleigh serves as the designated hitter and Mitch Garver gets the start behind home plate. Young struggled at the plate in August and has gone 1-for-25 over his last 10 games, which has lowered his season OPS to .639 across 240 plate appearances.

  • Aron Estrada 2B | BAL

    Orioles' Aron Estrada: Back in action

    Estrada (quadriceps) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Double-A Chesapeake on Tuesday.

    He missed a little under two weeks with a quad injury and went 2-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in his first game back. Estrada, who was promoted from High-A Aberdeen to Chesapeake on July 29, is slashing .310/.372/.563 with five home runs, four steals and a 14.1 percent strikeout rate in 19 games for the Baysox. The 20-year-old switch hitter has split time between second base and left field since getting to Double-A.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Sitting against lefty opener

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Right-hander Dustin May is expected to cover the bulk of the innings for the Red Sox on Wednesday, but because lefty Brennan Bernardino is opening the game, the left-handed-hitting Schneemann will exit the lineup. Center fielder Angel Martinez will occupy Schneemann's usual spot in the two hole, but Schneemann or fellow left-handed hitter Nolan Jones could replace Martinez once May takes over for Boston.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Smacks 19th homer

    Sosa went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a walk Tuesday against the Twins.

    Sosa homered in the seventh inning, going back-to-back with Kyle Teel. Nine of Sosa's 19 home runs have come since Aug. 1, and he's also delivered 21 RBI and 14 runs scored across 29 games in that span. While his overall counting stats are unimpressive, Sosa has quietly posted a .171 ISO and .732 OPS across 468 plate appearances on the season.

  • Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Stays hot with homer

    Jackson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a second RBI and a walk in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Padres.

    Jackson opened the scoring with a solo shot in the first inning. This was his fourth homer of the season, three of which have come over the last four games. He's now at a .333/.358/.539 slash line with 17 RBI, 15 runs scored, five doubles, two triples and no stolen bases over 28 contests to begin his big-league career. Jackson's hot hitting has earned him a near-everyday role in the Orioles' lineup, and if he can keep it up, he'll be well-positioned to contribute next season as well.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Fills box score in win

    Chisholm went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Astros.

    Chisholm did a little bit of everything to help the Yankees' offense in this one. He has racked up six homers and four steals over his last nine games, batting .323 (10-for-31) in that span. Overall, he's up to a .243/.342/.505 slash line with 28 homers, 26 steals, 70 RBI, 68 runs scored, 13 doubles and one triple over 106 contests.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Keaschall is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the White Sox.

    The 23-year-old started the previous six games and will receive a day off after posting a .208/.321/.500 slash line with two homers during that span. Austin Martin is receiving a start at second base and batting sixth Tuesday in Keaschall's place.

  • Guardians' Dauri Fernandez: Bumped to Single-A

    Fernandez was promoted from the Arizona Complex League to Single-A Lynchburg on Aug. 28.

    Fernandez passed his stateside debut with flying colors, slashing .333/.398/.558 with six home runs and 16 steals in 43 ACL games, and this run with the Hillcats to close the year will just be the cherry on top. The 18-year-old switch hitter's first two games at Single-A have come at shortstop, but he also saw double-digit games at third base and second base while playing at the complex. Like many young Guardians infield prospects before him, Fernandez is undersized (listed at 5-foot-9, 155 pounds) and seen as a hit-over-power prospect who could grow into sneaky power, so he exceeded expectations as a slugger this summer, albeit against weak rookie-level pitching.

  • Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Leads O's offense Monday

    Jackson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored Monday in a 4-3 win over the Padres.

    The versatile rookie's fifth-inning long ball broke a 2-2 tie, and he scored the game-winning run in the seventh on a Dylan Beavers single. Jackson continues to rake -- he's riding a 12-game hitting streak during which he's slashing .340/.364/.585 with three homers, 11 RBI and eight runs. His hot bat has made him an everyday presence in Baltimore's lineup, and he's been splitting his time between third base and right field.

  • Zack Gelof 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Trio of hits in win

    Gelof went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run, an additional run scored and was caught stealing in Monday's win over the Cardinals.

    Gelof contributed to the Athletics' blowout win Monday with his second homer and second double of the season. His 2025 campaign has been derailed by wrist and rib injuries, keeping him in the minors more than the majors to this point. Since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Aug. 25, the 25-year-old is 7-for-27 (.259), with all four of his extra-base hits and five of his six RBI on the year coming during the seven-game stretch.
