  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Piling up RBI

    Lowe went 1-for-5 with a home run and four RBI on Tuesday against the Red Sox.

    Lowe popped a walk-off three-run homer in the 11th inning for his 18th long ball of the season. He has now gone deep three times in his last 14 games, during which time he's also racked up 15 RBI and nine runs scored while hitting .294. Lowe has moved himself into a regular role in the top third of the order across the last month, so he should continue to rack up counting stats to close out the regular season.

  • Red Sox's Enmanuel Valdez: Homers Tuesday

    Valdez went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a second run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Rays.

    Valdez got Boston on the board in the third inning with a two-run blast off Zach Eflin, his fifth homer of the year and first in the big leagues since May 31. The 24-year-old Valdez has started three of four games at second base since he was recalled from Triple-A when rosters expanded, going 4-for-10 with four RBI in that span. He should continue to see regular work with Pablo Reyes (elbow) on the IL.

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Slugs 29th homer

    Albies went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Cardinals.

    The second baseman took Miles Mikolas deep in the first inning, one of four Atlanta homers on the night, but all four were solo shots. It's Albies' first long ball since returning from the IL in late August, giving him 29 on the season, but he's been locked in at the plate lately, batting .407 (11-for-27) over a six-game hitting streak.

  • Nolan Gorman 2B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Gorman: Goes yard twice Tuesday

    Gorman went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 win over Atlanta.

    A two-run blast in the third inning off Michael Soroka was followed by a solo shot in the ninth off Michael Tonkin, as Gorman snapped a 16-game homer drought that extended back to Aug, 4. In nine contests since recovering from a back issue and being activated off the IL, Gorman's batting just .133 (4-for-30) with 17 strikeouts, but three of his four hits and five of his six RBI during that stretch have come in the last two games.

  • Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Drives in first run

    Mauricio went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 11-5 win over the Nationals.

    The 22-year-old had the least impressive night of the four Mets rookies in the lineup, but his two-out single in the eighth inning gave Mauricio his first career RBI. He's gone an impressive 6-for-15 (.400) in four games since his promotion with a double and two steals, and Mauricio figures to be a fixture at second base for New York over the final month of the season.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Rehab could begin Friday

    India (foot) could begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville on Friday, if he continues on a positive path, MLB.com reports.

    India's left foot is pain free, but the Reds are taking a deliberate approach in building up the infielder to avoid a setback that could end his season prematurely. If he begins the rehab assignment this weekend as hoped, he could return from the 10-day injured list as soon as Sept. 12.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: On historic tear

    Altuve went 3-for-5 with three solo home runs in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.

    After hitting two home runs in the series opener, Altuve collected three more long balls against the Rangers on Tuesday. The second baseman notched a homer in each of the first three innings, two off Nathan Eovaldi and one off Dane Dunning. Per MLB on FOX, Altuve became the fourth player in MLB history to hit three home runs in the first three innings of a game, while the outing also marked Altuve's first career regular-season three-homer performance.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Smacks 11th homer

    Massey went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

    Massey was one of three Royals to tag Dylan Cease for long balls Tuesday, with Massey's coming via a solo shot in the fourth inning. The second baseman has now racked up four extra-base hits across his last four games, a stretch in which he's batting 6-for-15 (.400) with five runs scored and three RBI.

  • Joseph Ortiz 2B | MIL

    Orioles' Joey Ortiz: Managing oblique issue

    Ortiz was removed from Triple-A Norfolk's lineup Tuesday due to left oblique tightness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Ortiz's removal was labeled as precautionary, so he may be able to rejoin the Tides' lineup within the next few days. The 25-year-old had a .448 OPS over 15 games in his first taste of the big leagues earlier this season, but he's enjoyed a strong campaign at Norfolk with a .321/.378/.504 slash line in 88 contests.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Orioles' Adam Frazier: Sitting versus lefty

    Frazier isn't in the Orioles' lineup Tuesday against the Angels.

    The fact southpaw Reid Detmers is starting on the mound will force the lefty-hitting Frazier to remain on the bench for the beginning of Tuesday's game. Jordan Westburg will slide to second base while Frazier sits, moving Gunnar Henderson to third and pulling Jorge Mateo into the lineup at shortstop.
