  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Picking up second straight start

    Moore will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    With Dominic Canzone tending to a bruised arm, Moore will draw a second straight start in right field, after he went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 loss. The Mariners have faced left-handed starters Tuesday and Wednesday, so the right-handed-hitting Moore may have been included in the lineup more so for matchup reasons than due to any major concern about the health of the left-handed-hitting Canzone, who should see the bulk of the starts in right field versus right-handed pitching.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Stays hot at plate

    McNeil went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a two-RBI double and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 8-1 win over Washington.

    McNeil delivered his third multi-hit performance in his last four games. His two-RBI double came off Nationals starter Jake Irvin while his ninth-inning homer was against Jackson Rutledge. McNeil has had an excellent August, slashing .302/.353/.429 with a 5:8 K:BB over 16 games.

  • Thomas Saggese SS | STL

    Cardinals' Thomas Saggese: Tallies three hits

    Saggese went 3-for-4 with a steal, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Marlins.

    Saggese notched a base hit in each of his first three at-bats, though the exit velocity did not top 80 mph on any of his knocks. He's been making good contact in August with a .300 batting average in 15 games and figures to see extended playing time in the short term with Brendan Donovan (groin) on the injured list while Nolan Gorman mans third base in the absence of Nolan Arenado (shoulder).

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Three hits, steal in narrow win

    Albies went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 11-10 win over the White Sox.

    Albies racked up at least three hits for the fourth time this year, and the steal was his 12th of the season. The second baseman has been a massive disappointment at the plate -- he has a .634 OPS in 2025 -- but he's at least fared slightly better over the past month of action. Over his last 118 at-bats (31 games), Albies is hitting .263 with three long balls, five doubles, 21 RBI and five pilfers.

  • Willi Castro RF | CHC

    Cubs' Willi Castro: Hits first Chicago home run

    Castro went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

    Castro has been scuffling a bit since joining the Cubs at the trade deadline, but he delivered a key blast to help lead Chicago to a 6-4 win in the first game Tuesday. It was the utility man's first home run with his new team and 11th overall this season. Castro is now batting .150 across 12 games in a Cubs' uniform, though he has at least provided defensive versatility, and his big homer could get him going at the plate.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Delivers walk-off walk

    Torres went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 1-0, 10-inning win over the Astros.

    Torres was the only player in the game to record multiple hits, but it was his walk that served as the key play in the pitchers' duel. The infielder drew a bases-loaded free pass in the bottom of the 10th inning to bring home a run and walk off the Astros. Torres has shown an improved eye at the plate this season, as his walk rate is a touch over 13 percent after sitting around 10 percent each of the last two years in New York. He's been a solid No. 2 hitter for a surging Detroit offense in his first season with the Tigers.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Snaps long homer drought in win

    Stott went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 win over Seattle.

    Stott clubbed his eighth homer of the year and his first since July 23 versus Boston. The speedy infielder hasn't led off for the Phillies since early June, but he's finally beginning to gain some momentum in August as he tries to climb his way back up the batting order. Through his first 43 at-bats of the month, Stott is hitting .326 with four doubles, eight RBI, nine runs scored and four steals.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Rare lineup omission

    Cronenworth is not in the Padres' lineup versus the Giants on Tuesday.

    Cronenworth has missed just one game in 2025 that he has been healthy for. The last game the second baseman did not start was July 13, but he still entered off the bench for a plate appearance. With the left-handed bat on the bench Tuesday, Jose Iglesias has the start at second base and is batting eighth.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Sitting versus southpaw

    Garcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Mets.

    The Mets are sending lefty David Peterson to the hill, and the left-handed-hitting Garcia will cede second base to Paul DeJong. It's the second straight and fifth time over the last seven games versus southpaws that Garcia has been held out of the starting lineup.

  • Max Anderson 2B | DET

    Tigers' Max Anderson: Keeps hitting after promotion

    Anderson is hitting .308 with two home runs in six games since getting promoted to Triple-A Toledo on Aug. 11.

    Anderson has had a breakout year and slashed .306/.358/.499 with 14 home runs and a 14.6 percent strikeout rate in 90 games for Double-A Erie prior to his promotion. He will always be a hit-over-power player, but Anderson has hit for enough power this year to give himself a chance to make it as an everyday second baseman. If Gleyber Torres leaves in free agency this offseason, Anderson and fellow prospect Hao-Yu Lee could earn playing time at second base in 2026.
