  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Royals' Adam Frazier: Goes deep Sunday

    Frazier went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's win against the White Sox.

    Frazier doubled and scored a run in the seventh inning before adding a two-run shot in the eighth. It was his first home run since Aug. 1 and second in 23 games since being traded to the Royals. Frazier has provided a nice boost to Kansas City's offense; he's gone 25-for-76 (.329) in those 23 contests. For the season, Frazier is slashing .273/.327/.370 with 20 extra-base hits and 34 RBI through 344 plate appearances.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Collects three hits in return

    Semien went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-4 win over Toronto.

    Semien was held out of the lineup Saturday after being hit in the right wrist by a pitch in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays. He was back in the lineup for Sunday's contest and made his presence felt immediately with a two-run homer to left field in the second inning. Semien has posted a .585 OPS with three home runs and 12 RBI over 119 plate appearances since the All-Star break, and Sunday's efforts marked his first multi-hit game since July 30 against the Angels.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Goes deep in win

    Fitzgerald went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-1 victory over the Rays.

    The 27-year-old filled in for Casey Schmitt (forearm) at second base for the second consecutive contest and made the most of it. Fitzgerald cracked a 398-foot solo shot off Tampa Bay reliever Mason Englert in the seventh to go back-to-back with Drew Gilbert. After a breakout rookie campaign in 2024, Fitzgerald has struggled with a .220/.278/.335 slash line, four homers, nine steals, 19 runs scored and 14 RBI across 233 plate appearances this season. He should continue to play a starting role in San Francisco while Schmitt is out.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Swipes 10th bag

    Garcia went 3-for-4 with two runs scored during Sunday's 11-9 loss to Philadelphia.

    Garcia broke out of a mini-slump Sunday, as he entered the contest with just three hits in his last 22 at-bats. The second baseman notched his first stolen base since July 22. In 416 plate appearances this season, Garcia is slashing .263/.303/.401 with 53 runs and 51 RBI.

  • Mets' Luisangel Acuna: Summoned from minor leagues

    The Mets recalled Acuna from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Sunday's game against the Mariners in Williamsport, Pa.

    New York is designating Acuna as its 27th man for the 2025 MLB Little League Classic, so he'll most likely head back to Syracuse once the contest in Williamsport is completed. Acuna isn't in the lineup for Sunday's contest but will provide the Mets with added depth in the infield.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Sitting after three straight starts

    Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Rojas will take a seat after he had started at second base in each of the last three games while going 2-for-9 with a walk. Though Rojas will give up his spot in the infield to Buddy Kennedy on Sunday, the Dodgers should have regular starts available for both Rojas and Alex Freeland at second and third base until one of Tommy Edman (ankle), Hyeseong Kim (shoulder) or Max Muncy (oblique) returns from the injured list.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Marte will head to the bench Sunday after a run of 12 straight starts, during which he posted a 1.050 OPS with five doubles and two home runs. Connor Kaiser will man the keystone for Arizona in the series finale.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Out for another game

    Donovan (foot/groin) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Thomas Saggese will cover second base while Donovan takes a seat for a third straight game due to a sore left foot and groin. Per MLB.com, the Cardinals remain optimistic that Donovan will avoid a stint on the injured list. He'll go through a workout Monday or Tuesday before the club decides on his status.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | STL

    Astros' Ramon Urias: Sitting after five straight starts

    Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Urias had started the last five games while going 6-for-20 with one home run, one double, three RBI and two runs, but he'll hit the bench as Jose Altuve covers the keystone. Altuve has been serving as Houston's primary designated hitter of late, but he'll need to shift back to second base once Yordan Alvarez (hand) is activated from the injured list later this month, leaving no path to regular playing time for Urias.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Exiting starting nine Sunday

    Torres is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Torres will get his first day off since Aug. 5 in what appears to be a routine maintenance day. Zach McKinstry will cover second base in Torres' stead.
