  • 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.

    Mariners' Leo Rivas: Pops homer off bench

    Rivas hit a two-run home run in his lone at-bat in Monday's 10-2 loss to the Rays.

    Rivas was called up earlier in the day as rosters expanded to 28. He didn't start, but he pinch hit for Jorge Polanco in the ninth inning and provided the Mariners' lone runs in the lopsided loss. The homer was the first of his big-league career Rivas hadn't played in the majors since May 29 after a middling stretch of action early in the campaign. The infielder is slashing .295/.419/.361 with six RBI, 15 runs scored, four stolen bases and a double over 74 plate appearances. Rivas is likely to fill a reserve role around the infield, with his best chance of playing time coming at second base if he can challenge the duo of Polanco and Cole Young.

  • Tristan Gray SS | MIN

    Rays' Tristan Gray: Goes yard in win

    Gray went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 10-2 win over the Mariners.

    Gray's first two homers of the season have come over his last three games, though that stretch dates back to Aug. 22. The infielder hasn't been able to carve out consistent playing time despite being with the big club throughout August. He's at a .200/.243/.400 slash line with five RBI, four runs scored, no stolen bases and one double across 37 plate appearances in the majors this season.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | STL

    Astros' Ramon Urias: Goes deep in win

    Urias went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an additional RBI in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Angels.

    Urias drew the start at second, where he has become a mainstay for the Astros, and clubbed his second homer with his new club. The 31-year-old opened the contest's scoring with a 361-foot blast off Los Angeles starter Yusei Kikuchi in the second. Since joining Houston from Baltimore at the trade deadline, Urias has batted .300 (18-for-60) with six RBI and five runs scored across 21 games.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Cracks 24th long ball

    Altuve went 2-for-4 with a homer, a double, a walk and three RBI in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Angels.

    The Houston veteran tallied his team's final two runs with a 374-foot round tripper off Los Angeles reliever Brock Burke in the eighth. This marks the sixth time in his 15-year career that Altuve has reached the 24-homer plateau, with the last occurrence happening in 2022. The 35-year-old is now slashing .274/.337/.459 with 73 runs scored and 68 RBI in 570 total plate appearances.

  • Kody Clemens 1B | MIN

    Twins' Kody Clemens: Taking seat Monday

    Clemens is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

    Edouard Julien will step in at first base in place of Clemens, who had started in each of the Twins' last four games, facing off against two right-handers and two lefties. Though Clemens finished August with a lowly .536 OPS, Julien didn't fare much better on the month (.545 OPS), and Clemens' longer track record of success in the majors this season could be enough to make him the preferred option at first base during the final month of the campaign.

  • Leonardo Rivas SS | SEA

    Mariners' Leo Rivas: Gets call from Triple-A

    The Mariners recalled Rivas from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

    Rivas was with the Mariners to begin the 2025 season but was dispatched to Triple-A on May 31 after he slashed .283/.411/.300 with no home runs and four stolen bases across 73 plate appearances. He'll provide depth in the infield for Seattle down the stretch but is unlikely to see frequent starts.

  • Scott Kingery 2B | CHC

    Angels' Scott Kingery: Back on big-league roster

    The Angels selected Kingery's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

    Kingery was booted off the 40-man roster last month but has found his way back with the Angels and will give the club a utility option down the stretch. The 31-year-old has gone 4-for-25 at the dish during his brief time with the Angels this season.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Angels optioned Moore to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

    Moore has mostly languished during his time in the majors to this point, slashing .195/.287/.336 with a 31.5 percent strikeout rate. While Moore will have a good chance to open up next season as the Angels' primary second baseman, he will head back to the minors for now, and Luis Rengifo is expected to hold down the keystone during the final month of the campaign.
