  • Luis Urias 2B | TOR

    Red Sox's Luis Urias: Gaining traction at keystone

    Urias will start at second base and bat eighth Monday against the Rangers.

    Urias will stick in the lineup for the sixth time in seven games and looks to have usurped Pablo Reyes as the Red Sox's preferred option at the keystone. The 26-year-old hasn't seemed to earn the extra playing time based on his performance, however; he's slashing just .185/.313/.259 with a 34.4 percent strikeout rate thus far in September.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Orioles' Adam Frazier: Absent from Monday's lineup

    Frazier is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

    Frazier posted a .967 OPS over his last 11 games, but the veteran will get a chance to rest one day after the Orioles locked up a playoff spot. Jordan Westburg will man the keystone for Baltimore on Monday night.

  • Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU

    Mets' Luis Guillorme: Makes return from IL

    Guillorme (calf) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Guillorme has been on the shelf since late July because of a right calf strain, but he's been cleared to return to action following a six-game rehab assignment. Infielder Jonathan Arauz was sent down to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Idle again Monday

    Edwards is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Edwards went 4-for-16 with a walk, an RBI and two runs while making five consecutive starts at second base last week, but he appears to have since settled back into a utility role in the wake of Jorge Soler's recent return from the IL. With Soler having been reinstalled as the Marlins' designated hitter, Luis Arraez is expected to see most of his starts at the keystone moving forward rather than at first base. Edwards will hit the bench for a third straight contest as a result.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | BAL

    Giants' Thairo Estrada: Stays warm Sunday

    Estrada went 2-for-5 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 11-10 win over the Rockies.

    Estrada has five multi-hit efforts over his last 11 games, going 15-for-46 (.326) in that span. He's also logged three steals, two home runs and six RBI over those games. The second baseman continues to be one of the Giants' best hitters with a .277/.319/.423 slash line, 12 homers, 47 RBI, 61 runs scored and a career-high 22 steals over 108 contests.

  • Luis Garcia 1B | NYY

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Homers again Sunday

    Garcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Brewers.

    He drove a Brandon Woodruff fastball out of the park to center field in the second inning, the only run the Nationals managed until they scored the game-winner in the top of the 11th. Garcia has gone yard in back-to-back games, but since rejoining the big-league roster Sept. 8 he's batting just .207 (6-for-29), and the 23-year-old's future as a starting-caliber player in the majors remains in doubt.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Clubs 23rd homer

    Marte went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.

    Marte has had a strong September, hitting safely in 12 of his 15 games. He's gone 17-for-58 (.293) this month while producing nine RBI and nine extra-base hits. The second baseman is up to a .274/.355/.483 slash line with 23 homers, 77 RBI, 89 runs scored and six stolen bases over 141 contests overall. He continues to regularly hit leadoff versus southpaws and second versus right-handed pitchers.

  • Andres Gimenez SS | TOR

    Guardians' Andres Gimenez: Brings home three runs

    Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Rangers.

    Gimenez knocked an RBI single and a two-run double during Cleveland's nine-run fourth frame. He's gone 17-for-49 (.347) with seven multi-hit performances over his last 13 games. His season slash line is up to .244/.312/.385 with 43 extra-base hits and 57 RBI through 575 plate appearances.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Dodgers' Amed Rosario: Racks up three hits, steal

    Rosario went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Mariners.

    The light-hitting Rosario had a chance at a cycle but grounded out in the eighth inning. Prior to Sunday, he'd gone 7-for-26 (.269) over 12 games in September, playing in a part-time role. He's hit .255 with the Dodgers, and he's at a .263/.305/.383 slash line with six home runs, 56 RBI, 67 runs scored, 14 steals, 25 doubles and eight triples over 134 contests this season when accounting for his time with the Guardians. If the Dodgers opt to rest Mookie Betts or Miguel Rojas more often down the stretch, Rosario could see an uptick in playing time.

  • Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL

    Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Battling abdominal issue

    Kim was scratched from Sunday's lineup versus Oakland due to abdominal discomfort, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    The specifics of the injury remain unclear, and Kim is undergoing testing to determine whether the issue is internal or muscular. The second baseman should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.
