Lowe went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Guardians.

Lowe singled in his first and final at-bats, with the latter one driving home Yandy Diaz for the game-tying run in the bottom of the ninth. The second baseman then came around to score the game-winning run on a Randy Arozarena single after swiping his sixth bag of the season. It marked Lowe's first multi-hit performance this month while he's now struck out twice in three of his last four games. He's also recorded just one extra-base hit in August after homering in three of his last four games to end July.

Diaz isn't in the Athletics' lineup Sunday against the Nationals.

After extending his hitting streak to five games Saturday, Diaz will sit out the final game of Oakland's series with Washington. Jonah Bride will take over at third base and bat eighth.

Arraez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the Yankees.

Arraez wasted no time getting the Marlins on the board, cranking a two-run shot to right-center field in the first inning. It was only his fourth home run of the season and his first since June 16 against the Nationals. The second baseman is batting just .222 in August with three RBI and five runs scored while failing to draw a walk over 45 plate appearances.

Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's win over the Blue Jays.

Hoerner extended his hitting streak to five games, and he's batting a robust .400 during the stretch. For the season, the infielder is batting a solid .278, but his biggest contribution has been on the basepaths, where he's 29-for-32 in stolen base attempts.

The Tigers recalled Diaz from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

With Javier Baez (bereavement) away from the team, Diaz will come up from the minors to fill Baez's roster spot. The 27-year-old infielder is just 1-for-19 across six games in the majors this season, and he is unlikely to draw many starts for Detroit while Baez is out.

Altuve went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, three runs and an RBI against the Angels in an 11-3 victory Saturday.

Altuve continued to set the table from atop the order, notching his fourth straight multi-hit game. Over that span, the second baseman has gone a scorching 12-for-17 with three doubles, a homer, six RBI, seven runs and two steals. The multi-hit stretch is part of a longer 14-game hitting streak, the second-longest such active streak in the majors behind Maikel Garcia's 15-game run.

Westburg went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Saturday's 1-0 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

After slumping in late July, Westburg has hit safely in eight of his nine games in August to earn a near-everyday role. The infielder is 11-for-33 (.333) with a home run, four RBI and five runs scored this month. Westburg is up to a .278/.328/.435 slash line with two homers, three steals, 12 RBI, 16 runs scored, seven doubles and two triples through 33 contests. He's seen most of his playing time between second base and third base lately.

Rosario went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.

Rosario has already popped three homers in 13 games with the Dodgers, batting .262 since he was trade from the Guardians. That matches his homer total from his first 94 contests this year. The infielder is slashing a modest .265/.303/.384 with 51 RBI, 57 runs scored and 10 stolen bases through 455 plate appearances overall.

Lopez went 4-for-6 with a double, a home run, three runs scored and five RBI in a 21-3 rout of the Mets during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Getting the start at shortstop and batting ninth, Lopez not only socked his first homer of the season in the ninth inning off Danny Mendick, he took the mound himself in the bottom of the frame and walked a batter over a scoreless inning of relief. Lopez's only other action so far for Atlanta since being acquired at the trade deadline was an appearance as a pinch runner Tuesday, so despite this impressive effort, at-bats will likely be few and far between down the stretch for the 28-year-old infielder.

Albies went 5-for-9 with a walk, two home runs, two stolen bases, four runs scored and eight RBI in Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Mets.

Atlanta scored 27 runs across both games of the twin bill and Albies was in the thick of the offensive eruption both times, homering and swiping a base in each game while driving in six runs in the matinee alone. The second baseman has hit safely in all 12 games so far in August, batting .364 (20-for-55) with four homers, four steals, 12 runs and 16 RBI to begin the month.
