  • Royals' Michael Massey: Sitting out first game

    Massey is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

    He'll likely be back out there for the second contest, but Massey will yield to Nick Loftin at second base for the afternoon tilt. Massey has just a .521 OPS over his last 14 games.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Three hits, homer Monday

    McNeil went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss against the Diamondbacks.

    McNeil got the Mets on the board in the fourth inning with a homer of Zach Davies, his eighth of the year. While it's been a down year for McNeil overall, he's hit well down the stretch, batting .309 (47-for-152) with five homers, four steals and a .806 OPS in 38 games since the start of August. On the season, he's slashing .268/.333/.367 with 67 runs scored and 50 RBI through 588 plate appearances.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Knocks two hits in return

    Marte went 2-for-5 with an RBI double in Monday's 4-3 win over the Mets.

    Marte plated the winning run in the top of the ninth inning when he doubled home Alek Thomas. He's hit safely in 18 of the last 21 games, batting .313 (21-for-67) with 10 extra-base hits and a .957 OPS. Marte returned to the lineup after sitting out Sunday's contest with a knee injury.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Registers 35th steal

    Kim went 1-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 11-8 win over the Dodgers.

    Kim's hitting has dropped off a bit in September -- he's gone 8-for-41 (.195) this month, but he's still managed to pick up six steals in his last 10 games. The infielder is up to 35 steals this season, good for eighth in the majors. He's also slashing .270/.361/.416 with 17 home runs, 58 RBI, 80 runs scored and 20 doubles over 140 games.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Guardians' Andres Gimenez: Earns 27th steal

    Gimenez went 2-for-5 with one RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Giants.

    Gimenez has gone 10-for-24 (.417) with three steals across his last six games. The second baseman supplied a go-ahead RBI single in the 10th inning Monday, but the Giants answered with two runs in their half of the frame. Gimenez has had an uneven year at the plate, batting .242 with a .692 OPS, but his strong hitting in September is a good sign. He's added 12 home runs, 51 RBI, 64 runs scored, 27 steals, 25 doubles and four triples through 138 contests overall.

  • Angels' Brandon Drury: Hits key homer

    Drury went 1-for-6 with a two-run home run in Monday's 8-5 extra-innings win over the Mariners.

    Drury put the Angels ahead 5-3 in the 10th inning, though Julio Rodriguez answered a half-inning later. It's been a spotty start to September for Drury, who has gone 8-for-45 (.178) over 11 contests this month, though six of those hits have gone for extra bases. The infielder is at a .259/.300/.480 slash line with 21 long balls, 69 RBI, 52 runs scored, 24 doubles and three triples over 109 games.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    Mariners' Josh Rojas: Resting against lefty

    Rojas is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

    As has been the case since joining the Mariners, Rojas will be held out with a southpaw -- in this instance Reid Detmers -- opening on the mound for the opponent. Dylan Moore will start at second base in place of Rojas.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Omitted from Game 2 lineup

    Albies is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader with the Phillies.

    Albies does not sit much, but with him just a couple weeks removed from a stint on the injured list, he will get a breather Monday night. Nicky Lopez will cover the keystone in place of Albies.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Gets rare day off Monday

    Turang is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

    The lefty-hitting Turang will take a seat against Marlins southpaw Jesus Luzardo, marking the rookie's first day off since Aug. 16. Andruw Monasterio will get the nod at second base while Turang's streak of 21 consecutive starts comes to an end.

  • Owen Miller 2B | CHC

    Brewers' Owen Miller: Heads back to Nashville

    The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Miller was moved off the 28-man active roster to clear room for third baseman/designated hitter Josh Donaldson, who was called up from Nashville after joining the Brewers on a minor-league deal less than two weeks earlier. The Brewers brought Miller back from Triple-A as one of their September call-ups, but he logged just four plate appearances in total during his latest stint with the big club.
