  • Angels' Brandon Drury: Nails 20th homer

    Drury went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in a loss to the Orioles.

    Drury plated the final run of the contest, belting a solo shot to left-center field in the eighth inning. The long ball was his 20th of the campaign, marking the second straight season he's reached that number. Prior to last year, Drury hadn't hit more than 16 home runs in any of his seven big-league seasons.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Racks up four hits in win

    Stott went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a run and a stolen base against the Padres in Monday's 9-7 victory.

    Bohm was in the midst of a 1-for-17 cold spell coming into Monday, but he turned things around emphatically with his second four-hit game of the campaign. The second baseman also notched his 26th theft, tied for 13th in the majors. Stott has complemented his excellent .294/.337/.442 slash line with 14 homers, 29 doubles, 55 RBI and 70 runs over 549 plate appearances this season.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Four hits, two homers in win

    Altuve went 4-for-6 with a pair of solo homers in Monday's win over the Rangers.

    Altuve put Houston ahead 5-4 in the sixth inning, blasting a 429-foot homer off Glenn Otto, before capping the scoring with his second longball off Martin Perez in the ninth. Altuve's huge day snapped a brief slump -- he'd gone just 1-for-15 in his previous four games. Overall, he's batting .316 with a .920 OPS, 12 homers, 60 runs scored, 36 RBI and 13 steals across 303 plate appearances this season.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Homers twice in win

    Dubon went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Monday's victory over the Rangers.

    Dubon tied the game 4-4 in the sixth inning with his first home run off Glenn Otto before extending Houston's lead to 12-5 with an opposite-field blast off Martin Perez in the ninth. It's the first multi-homer game of the year for Dubon, who now has a career-high nine long balls this season. While he's retreated to a bench role of late, Dubon's still slashing a solid .274/.304/.404 with 67 runs scored, 39 RBI and seven stolen bases across 438 plate appearances this season.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Orioles' Adam Frazier: Out against lefty

    Frazier is not in Monday's lineup against the Angels.

    He'll head to the bench with lefty Kenny Rosenberg on the hill for the Angels. Jorge Mateo and Jordan Westburg will handle the middle-infield duties with Frazier on the bench.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Collects two thefts Sunday

    Kim went 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases Sunday in a 4-0 victory over the Giants.

    Kim singled to lead off the bottom of the first inning and quickly stole second base before being wiped out at third on a fielder's choice. He added a walk and another theft in the fourth frame. Kim is up to 31 steals on the season, eighth-most in the majors. He's added 17 homers, 52 RBI, 77 runs and a .275/.365/.429 slash line in what has been a breakout campaign.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Getting a breather

    Marte is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Rockies.

    It appears to be a routine day off, which would be Marte's first since Aug. 17. Geraldo Perdomo will slide over to second base while Nick Ahmed gets a start at shortstop Monday.

  • Tony Kemp 2B | MIN

    Athletics' Tony Kemp: Delivers in pinch-hit capacity

    Kemp entered Sunday's win over the Angels as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and delivered a two-run single in his only plate appearance.

    Kemp stepped into the batter's box for Carlos Perez in the seventh inning and snapped a 4-4 tie with a single to center that brought home Zack Gelof, Ryan Noda and Brent Rooker, the latter on a throwing error. Kemp ended up at third base on the play and subsequently came across to score in his own right on a Shea Langeliers double, making it quite the eventful cameo. The veteran recently went through a brief 0-for-12 skid over a five-game span, but he's now hit safely in back-to-back games and sports a .323 average and .916 OPS across his last 14 contests overall.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Well-rounded production

    Lowe went 3-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base Sunday against the Guardians.

    Lowe has started 10 consecutive games for the Rays, including three against left-handed pitching. He's performed well in that span, going 12-for-37 with one homer, seven RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base. Lowe has been a strong per-game contributor throughout the season, and serving in a true everyday role would further improve his outlook.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Swats 24th homer

    Torres went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Astros.

    Torres missed two games with lower-back tightness. He was the only Yankee with multiple hits in this contest. After batting .327 with seven homers over 28 games in August, the second baseman is in a position to end 2023 on a high note. He's at a .272/.340/.465 slash line, 24 long balls, 58 RBI, 75 runs scored and 13 stolen bases through 134 contests this year.
