Kemp went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a walk in a loss to the Astros on Sunday.

The veteran gave the Athletics a glimmer of hope in the ninth inning when his timely knock plated Cal Stevenson, but that would be the final run of the game for the Athletics. Kemp's multi-hit effort was his third in the last four games, and he's now reached safely in eight consecutive starts, a stretch during which he owns a .300 average and .400 on-base percentage.

Rosario went 3-for-4 with a homer, three runs, two RBI, a stolen base, a walk and a strikeout during Sunday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Rosario produced plenty of runs during the Guardians' three-game series in Toronto, logging four runs and four RBI over the matchups against the Blue Jays. The 26-year-old has showcased increased power since the start of August, slashing .268/.293/.536 with four runs, 14 RBI and 10 runs over 13 games during that time.

Castro went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the White Sox.

Castro hit his fifth home run of the season in the ninth inning against Chicago reliever Kendall Graveman. The utility player is one of the few Detroit players making regular contact this year, as he's now batting a solid .286. Castro has some fantasy upside when he's in the lineup, though he's mostly a singles hitter who doesn't steal a ton of bases, which caps his potential.

Frazier is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Frazier started the past 25 games and will take a seat Sunday while in the midst of a 4-for-29 slump. Dylan Moore will man the keystone and bat ninth in the series finale at Texas.

Massey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Massey has been a regular in the lineup since being called up by Kansas City on Aug. 3, and he'll step out of the starting nine Sunday after producing an .809 OPS with five RBI, three runs and a stolen base across nine games. Nicky Lopez will start at the keystone while Bobby Witt lines up at shortstop in the series finale versus Los Angeles.

Gimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Toronto.

Gimenez started the past seven games and will receive a day off after hitting .423 with a double, an RBI, four runs and four stolen bases during that stretch. Owen Miller will step in at the keystone Sunday for Cleveland.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles due to shoulder soreness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 28-year-old was on the bench against Baltimore lefty DL Hall on Saturday and will sit again Sunday due to the shoulder issue. It's unclear when the injury first surfaced, but Lowe has recently struggled at the plate, going 1-for-20 with 10 strikeouts over his past five contests. Yu Chang will start at the keystone and bat sixth in the series finale versus the Orioles.

Arraez went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a walk in Saturday's 5-3 extra-innings loss to the Angels.

This was Arraez's fourth three-hit effort in his last five games as he continues to excel at making good contact. He's added two of his four steals this season in that short span. The 25-year-old's surge has lifted his slash line to .337/.402/.446 with six home runs, 37 RBI and 61 runs scored through 100 contests this year.

Lopez will sit Saturday against the Dodgers.

Lopez sits after starting five straight games, a stretch in which he went 3-for-18 at the plate. Bobby Witt shifts to shortstop Saturday as Hunter Dozier starts at third base.

Frazier went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs in a win over the Rangers on Friday.

Operating out of the No. 7 spot in the order, Frazier delivered one of three multi-hit efforts for the Mariners. The veteran came into the night mired in a 3-for-27 slump that had encompassed his previous seven contests, although the .130 BABIP he was saddled with during that span certainly didn't help matters.
