  • Luis Arraez 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Luis Arraez: Rips pair of doubles in loss

    Arraez went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Nationals.

    The light-hitting infielder tallied a rare showing of multiple extra-base hits, his first such effort since June 30 in Arizona as a member of the Giants. Arraez is targeting his fourth career batting title in 2026, jockeying primarily with Nick Gonzales, Otto Lopez and Gabriel Moreno in the race for the National League crown at this stage of the season. He's hitting an MLB-best .315 in 143 games on the year, and Arraez is batting .291 with two homers, nine doubles, 17 RBI and 14 runs scored over 148 at-bats since being dealt to the Phillies.

  • Nick Sogard 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Goes yard in loss Tuesday

    Sogard went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a strikeout during Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Texas.

    Sogard swatted his fifth homer of the season in the third inning off Jacob deGrom to cut the lead in half. The 29-year-old has reached base safely in eight of his last 10 games. This year, the switch-hitter is batting .264/.360/.416 with five homers and 19 RBI in 233 plate appearances.

  • Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Goes deep twice in Tuesday's win

    Bazzana went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs during the Guardians' 7-6 win over the White Sox on Tuesday.

    Bazzana helped put the Guardians up 3-0 early in the first inning with a solo homer to right-center field before going deep again in the sixth to reduce the deficit to one run. It's the second multi-homer game of the season for Bazzana, with five of his 13 homers coming over his last 10 games. In that 10-game span, he has gone 15-for-34 (.441) with one steal, 14 RBI, eight extra-base hits and 10 runs scored.

  • Hao Yu Lee 2B | DET

    Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Smacks ninth home run

    Lee went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Lee added an insurance run in the ninth inning of the blowout by launching his ninth home run of the season. Outside of a three-hit performance Saturday, the rookie infielder came into Tuesday's contest batting just .091 this month before tallying his two hits. Despite the rough patch, Lee is still having a strong debut campaign with a .255 batting average and .723 OPS overall, and he's firmly in Detroit's plans moving forward.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Resting up Tuesday

    Edwards isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Edwards has gone 3-for-8 with an RBI and a run scored in two games since returning from the injured list, and the Marlins will now give him a chance to rest Tuesday while Javier Sanoja starts at the keystone and Graham Pauley mans third base.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: On bench vs. lefty

    Holliday is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reports.

    Holliday started the previous seven games -- including two against left-handed pitchers -- but he'll take a seat versus New York southpaw Sean Manaea. Jeremiah Jackson is handling the keystone while batting sixth Tuesday for Baltimore.

  • Connor Norby 2B | COL

    Rockies' Connor Norby: Resting Tuesday

    Norby isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

    Norby will get a chance to catch his breath Tuesday after notching six base hits in his last three games while adding two RBI and two runs. Adael Amador will cover second base while Mickey Moniak serves as the designated hitter.

  • Athletics' Joshua Kuroda-Grauer: Ready for rehab games

    Kuroda-Grauer (testicle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.

    Kuroda-Grauer underwent surgery in late July to address a ruptured testicle, and he's progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared for games. The rookie should return at some point during the final week of the regular season, provided all goes well on his rehab assignment.

  • Matt McLain 2B | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Back in Cincinnati lineup

    McLain (shoulder) will start at second base and bat seventh in Tuesday's game versus the Dodgers.

    McLain missed the past three contests with a sore left shoulder, which is the same one he had surgically repaired in 2024. He could have to play through some nagging soreness down the stretch, but McLain feels well enough to give it a go Tuesday.

  • Rays' Ben Williamson: Starting rehab assignment

    Williamson (hamstring) reported to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    The 25-year-old landed on the shelf in early August due to a strained hamstring, but he's been cleared for game action after recently resuming baseball activities. Williamson has a .247/.309/.332 slash line with three home runs and eight steals in 84 games this season, and he may only need a few games in the minors before rejoining the Rays.
