Chase Meidroth 2B | CHW
White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Knocks in only run in win
Meidroth went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI on Saturday against the Athletics.
Meidroth drove in the only run of the contest in the sixth inning with a two-out double. He has a modest four-game hitting streak going and has multiple hits with an RBI in each of his last two contests. Meidroth has shown significant growth during his second year in the majors, improving his batting average to .272 while already matching his total from 2025 with 54 runs scored.

Ernie Clement 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Posts steal Saturday
Clement went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Padres.
Clement extended his hitting streak to six games with the effort. This was also his first steal since May 22 and his first attempt since June 18, which suggests the hip injury that bothered him at times in June is no longer a concern. Clement is not a huge speed threat -- he's just 3-for-4 on steal attempts this year and totaled just six during the regular season in 2025 -- but he's been solid all around with a .297 average, .748 OPS, seven home runs, 30 RBI, 41 runs scored, 23 doubles and one triple over 92 contests.

Sung-Mun Song 2B | SD
Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Swipes bag in win
Song went 1-for-3 with a walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Blue Jays.
Song was in the lineup at third base for this contest while Manny Machado rested his legs as the designated hitter. Over nine games in July, Song has gone 6-for-27 (.222 average) with five steals and two extra-base hits. Song has now started in six of the Padres' last seven games and looks like he'll get a chance to play on a near-everyday basis while shifting between second base and third base.

Jake Cronenworth 2B | SD
Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Notches pair of steals
Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with one RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Blue Jays.
Cronenworth has gone 12-for-42 (.286) over 13 games since he returned from a concussion. His pair of steals Saturday gives him three thefts on the year. The veteran infielder is batting .187 with a .553 OPS, three home runs, 11 RBI, 17 runs scored and three doubles over 45 contests. Cronenworth has seen steady time in the lineup between first base, second base and designated hitter since his coming off the IL.

Williamson went 4-for-4 with an RBI double, one steal and one run scored during the Rays' 6-1 win over the Mariners on Saturday.
Williamson put the Rays on the board with an RBI double in the second inning, and he proceeded to reach base safely in each of his next three plate appearances to set a career high in hits. It was the 11th multi-hit game of the season for Williamson, who is slashing .253/.321/.338 with eight steals, two home runs, 23 RBI and 26 runs scored across 219 plate appearances.

Arraez collected his fourth multi-hit effort over his last seven games. He's also picked up two steals in that span and now has eight thefts on the year, three shy of matching his career high from the 2025 regular season. The contact hitter is batting .331 with an .832 OPS, four home runs, 35 RBI, 47 runs scored, 21 doubles and seven triples over 89 contests.

Anthony Seigler 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Anthony Seigler: Cracks two-run homer Friday
Seigler went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run during the Red Sox's 6-2 win over the Mets on Friday.
Seigler extended Boston's lead to 4-1 in the seventh inning, courtesy of his two-run deep ball off A.J. Minter. It was the second home run of Seigler's major-league career and his fifth multi-hit game of the season. He should continue to see regular reps at second base for as long as Marcelo Mayer (forearm), Isiah Kiner-Falefa (forearm) and Nick Sogard (oblique) are all on the injured list.

Padres' Sung-Mun Song: Resting up Friday
Song isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.
