Adam Frazier 2B | KC
Royals' Adam Frazier: Notches 20th double
Frazier went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Angels.
Frazier stretched the Royals' lead with a two-run double in the seventh inning, though he was cut down trying to stretch it into a triple. The light-hitting second baseman owns just a .683 OPS through 129 games, but Tuesday's double was his 20th of the year -- his seventh season with 20 or more. The 33-year-old has been steady at the plate lately, collecting hits in seven of his past eight contests.

Marcus Semien 2B | NYM
Rangers' Marcus Semien: Ruled out for 2025
Manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that Semien (foot) will not play again this season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Semien resumed taking live BP and running Friday, but with the Rangers five games out of a wild-card spot with six to play, the team will pull the plug on its efforts to get the veteran infielder back in the lineup this year. He'll close the book on 2025 with a career-low .669 OPS alongside 15 homers, 62 RBI, 62 runs scored and 11 steals through 127 games. Cody Freeman projects to be the Rangers' primary second baseman for the remainder of the regular season.

The game was tied 1-1 entering the 10th, and the Yankees exploded for six runs in the extra frame. One of those runs came on Chisholm's solo homer to right field. It was the second baseman's second homer over his past three games and marked his third straight contest with at least one RBI. Chisholm has a career-high 31 home runs and 79 RBI through 124 games on the campaign, and he's added 30 thefts for his first career 30-30 season.

Brandon Lowe 2B | TB
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Reaches 30-homer mark
Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Red Sox.
Lowe achieved his second 30-homer season when he went deep in the sixth inning. Just two of those long balls have come in September, as his power has declined following a nine-homer performance over 25 games in August. The infielder is now at a .258/.309/.478 slash line with 81 RBI, 78 runs scored, 18 doubles and three stolen bases across 130 contests this season.

Astros' Jose Altuve: Records 10th steal
Altuve went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, one RBI and one stolen base in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Mariners.
This was Altuve's second multi-hit effort in a row but just his fourth such game in all of September. The 35-year-old is batting just .203 (13-for-64) over 18 games this month, adding three home runs and 10 RBI in that span. For the season, he's posted a .265/.327/.444 slash line with 26 homers, 75 RBI, 78 runs scored and 10 steals across 150 contests.
