    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Stays hot in Thursday's loss

    Edwards went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Guardians.

    The switch hitter extended his hitting streak to nine games and produced his seventh multi-hit performance during the hot streak, and he's batting a blistering .452 (19-for-42) during that span. Edwards has been locked in since the beginning of July, slashing .345/.379/.479 over his last 39 contests with two homers, nine steals, 15 RBI and 29 runs as the Marlins' everyday leadoff hitter.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Pops homer No. 10

    Albies went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Thursday's win over the Mets.

    The second baseman got Atlanta on the board with a solo shot off Kodai Senga in the fourth inning, then won the game in the eighth with an RBI double to bring home Michael Harris. Albies ended a 23-game homer drought with the long ball, his 10th of the season, but he's been looking better at the plate of late -- over his last 16 contests, he's slashing .281/.324/.391 with two steals, seven runs and seven RBI.

  • Diamondbacks' Ildemaro Vargas: Rehabbing in Reno

    Vargas (foot) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno on Tuesday and is 0-for-6 with a walk over two games for the Aces.

    Vargas played third base for seven innings Tuesday and followed up with a full game as the designated hitter Wednesday prior to getting Thursday off. With the Diamondbacks playing out the string, Vargas is not expected to have a significant role for the club over the final weeks of the regular season.

  • Jordan Lawlar SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Returns to game action

    Lawlar started at third base and went 2-for-5 with a double for Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

    Lawlar, who was activated off the injured list Thursday, played all nine innings in the field. He's expected to eventually finish out the season with the Diamondbacks. When healthy in 2025, Lawlar bounced around the Aces' infield, playing second base, shortstop and third base. Given the parent club's existing opening at the hot corner following its trade of Eugenio Suarez, Lawlar is expected to see most of his time at third base in preparation for his next call-up.

  • Kyle Farmer 2B | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Farmer: Connects for sixth homer

    Farmer went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Farmer got the Rockies on the board in the fifth inning. He's picked up a bit of playing time around the infield lately, but he's far from being a regular in the lineup. The veteran infielder is now at a .227/.280/.360 slash line with six homers, 25 RBI, 20 runs scored, 14 doubles and no stolen bases across 261 plate appearances this season. Farmer has gone 7-for-20 (.350) in August.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Swipes another base Thursday

    Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

    A day after going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, Hoerner once again tallied two hits and tacked on another steal. The speedy infielder has now swiped 22 bases this season, and he's also batting .293. Hoerner doesn't hit for much power, as he only has four home runs in 116 games, but he derives fantasy value from his strong contact skills and ability on the basepaths.

  • Jordan Lawlar SS | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Activated from IL at Triple-A

    Lawlar (hamstring) was activated from the 7-day injured list by Triple-A Reno on Thursday, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Lawlar has been sidelined since late June due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Now healthy, Lawlar will look to ramp things up at Reno before likely finishing the season back in the big leagues with the Diamondbacks. With Eugenio Suarez shipped off to Seattle at the trade deadline, Arizona will surely want to get Lawlar plenty of everyday looks to close out the season with an eye toward the 2026 campaign. Lawlar was overmatched in his previous stint in the majors during an eight-game stretch in May, as he failed to record a hit across 22 trips to the plate.

  • Ronny Simon 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Ronny Simon: Two hits from leadoff spot

    Simon went 2-for-5 with two runs scored Wednesday against the Brewers.

    Simon was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis after Oneil Cruz (concussion) landed on the injured list. He immediately led off with a right-handed starter on the mound and recorded the first multi-hit performance of his career. Simon is relatively light on power but makes regular contact and has consistently maintained double-digit walk rates while in the minors.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Homers, triples in rout

    Edwards went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a triple and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 13-4 win over the Guardians.

    Edwards led off the game with his second homer of the season before adding a triple and scoring again in the sixth. The 26-year-old is riding an eight-game hitting streak that includes six multi-hit efforts, five RBI, six runs scored and five stolen bases. On the season, he's slashing .305/.363/.383 with two home runs, 34 RBI, 58 runs scored and 22 steals across 471 plate appearances.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Swipes two bases Wednesday

    Hoerner went 2-for-4 and stole two bases in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Hoerner was unable to come around to score for the Cubs, though he still managed to wreak havoc on the basepaths. It's the fourth time this season he's swiped multiple bases in the same game, and the infielder is now up to 21 steals overall in 24 attempts. Since the start of the 2023 season, Hoerner has 95 stolen bases, and speed remains his greatest fantasy asset.
