  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Orioles' Adam Frazier: Returns to lineup

    Frazier (hand) is starting at second base and batting ninth Thursday against Toronto, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    Frazier missed Baltimore's previous three games due to a sore right hand, but the issue appears to have subsided ahead of Thursday's contest. The 31-year-old infielder is slashing .219/.257/.281 with two RBI across 36 plate appearances since the start of August.

  • Vidal Brujan 2B | NYM

    Rays' Vidal Brujan: Returns to majors

    Brujan was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Brujan continues to go back-and-forth between Durham and Tampa Bay but has really struggled during his time in the majors this season with a lowly .461 OPS. He'll provide manager Kevin Cash with some defensive versatility.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Ready to run

    India (foot) traveled to the Reds' training complex in Goodyear (Ariz.) where he was slated to begin running on an anti-gravity treadmill Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

    The treadmill enables India to resume running without putting pressure on his injured foot. The infielder is also scheduled for another MRI to determine the status of the plantar fasciitis in his left foot. India received positive news from a specialist Tuesday and could return early September, if he suffers no setbacks.

  • Elvis Andrus 2B | ARI

    White Sox's Elvis Andrus: Racking up stolen bases

    Andrus went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Wednesday against the Mariners.

    Andrus had been serving as the primary leadoff hitter with Tim Anderson sidelined by a suspension. With Anderson now back in action, Andrus shifted down one spot in the order and also made only his second start of the season at third base. On the field, Andrus managed his 11th stolen base of the campaign and third in his last eight starts. With potential at-bats at three different positions, he should see consistent at-bats down the stretch.

  • Liover Peguero SS | PIT

    Pirates' Liover Peguero: Swipes fourth bag

    Peguero went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored Wednesday against the Cardinals.

    Peguero has experienced some of the ups and downs expected of rookies, as he entered Wednesday's game with only two hits across his prior 17 at-bats. He broke out of that slump with the seventh multi-hit performance in 28 big-league games so far this season. Peguero has seen the majority of his playing time at second base, and that role should be more secure moving forward with Oneil Cruz's (ankle) return in doubt.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL

    Giants' Thairo Estrada: Picks up 19th steal

    Estrada went 2-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 8-6 extra-inning win over the Phillies.

    The steal was Estrada's 19th of the season, and it was his first attempt to swipe a bag since returning from a hand injury earlier in the month. The second baseman has gone 21-for-67 (.313) over his last 16 games. He's up to a .280/.329/.434 slash line with 10 home runs, 39 RBI, 51 runs scored, 23 doubles and a triple over 86 games this season.

  • Luis Rengifo 2B | MIL

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: On base four times in loss

    Rengifo went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a triple, two runs scored and an RBI in a 9-4 loss to the Reds during the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

    The super-utility player did his job from the leadoff spot, but the Angels' offense had trouble cashing him in, particularly after Shohei Ohtani was removed as the DH after complaining of arm fatigue while on the mound. Rengifo has run hot and cold all season, but it's been mostly the latter in August -- he's batting .268 (19-for-71) over his last 20 games with just one homer, five RBI and nine runs.

  • Angels' Brandon Drury: Sits for nightcap

    Drury isn't in the Angels' lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Reds, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Drury went 0-for-5 and drove in a run during Game 1, snapping what had been a four-game hitting streak. He'll get a breather in the nightcap and be replaced by Luis Rengifo at second base.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Mariners' Jose Caballero: Swipes two bags off bench

    Caballero walked, scored a run and stole a pair of bases in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the White Sox.

    Caballero drew a walk as a pinch hitter for Dominic Canzone to lead off the seventh inning. He'd go on to steal both second and third base before scoring the Mariners' first run on a Josh Rojas bunt single. The 26-year-old Caballero hasn't started since Saturday, though he's come off the bench in three straight games. He's now logged five steals in his last eight contests, improving to 25-for-28 in stolen base attempts this season while slashing .240/.371/.340 with three homers, 33 runs scored and 24 RBI across 248 plate appearances in his rookie campaign.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    Mariners' Josh Rojas: Stays hot Wendesday

    Rojas went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's loss against the White Sox.

    Rojas drove in the Mariners' first run of the contest with a bunt single in the seventh inning before subsequently swiping his ninth base of the season. The 29-year-old Rojas has been on a roll of late, going 9-for-18 (.500) with a homer and three steals in his last four contests. Since joining Seattle, he's batting .294 with a .784 OPS over 15 games. Rojas has boosted his slash line to .242/.301/.329 with two homers, 36 runs scored and 34 RBI across 270 plate appearances between the Mariners and Diamondbacks this season.
