  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Homers in win

    Jung went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-4 win over Seattle.

    Jung launched his seventh homer and first in eight games in the second inning to give Texas an early lead. Since returning from a thumb injury that cost him nearly four months, Jung is slashing .260/.288/.390 with five home runs, nine RBI, three steals and 13 runs scored over 38 games.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Swipes bag in fourth straight

    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Cleveland's loss to the Rays on Thursday.

    Ramirez singled and stole second in his first trip to the plate, giving him his fourth consecutive game with at least one steal. The third baseman would also come around to score in the frame, marking his third straight contest with a run scored. Despite having hit safely in each of his last five contests, Ramirez is batting just .222 (10-for-45) in September with one homer, two RBI, six runs and five stolen bases. Thursday's theft was his 39th of the campaign.

  • Ezequiel Duran 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Back on bench Thursday

    Duran is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Seattle.

    Duran has been picking up starts at a multitude of positions since Corey Seager (hip) landed on the 10-day injured list. Until Thursday, Duran had made five consecutive starts, but he went hitless in the last two games as the designated hitter. Adolis Garcia is in the lineup as the designated hitter Thursday while Josh Smith is starting at shortstop.

  • Lenyn Sosa 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Seven-game hitting streak

    Sosa went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Guardians.

    Sosa played his part in a four-run rally in the third inning with an RBI single before also coming around to score. The performance extended his hitting streak to seven games, during which Sosa has hit .407 with two doubles, four runs scored and three RBI. He should get regular run at second base so long as Brooks Baldwin (wrist) is sidelined.

  • Orioles' Emmanuel Rivera: Belts homer Wednesday

    Rivera went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to Boston.

    Rivera put Baltimore on the board in the third inning with a solo shot to left field. He gave the team another lead with an RBI single in the 10th, but Boston emerged with the victory on a Tyler O'Neill walk-off homer in the bottom of that frame. It was a rare opportunity for Rivera to produce, as he's started just twice in the Orioles' past seven games.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Keeps running Wednesday

    Ramirez went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the White Sox.

    Ramirez has swiped a bag in three straight contests, giving him 38 thefts on the year. He continues to extend his career high in that area, but his chances of a 40-40 season are dwindling since he's homered just once over 10 games in September. The third baseman is sporting a .270/.329/.512 slash line with 34 homers, 106 RBI and 103 runs scored over 143 contests this season.

  • Jose Miranda 3B | MIN

    Twins' Jose Miranda: Hitting bench Wednesday

    Miranda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Miranda will hit the bench after he had started in each of the Twins' first 10 games of September while slashing .268/.268/.341. Though he's not locked into a full-time role at any one spot in the Minnesota lineup, Miranda should continue to benefit from near-everyday playing time while moving between first base, third base and designated hitter.

  • Paul DeJong 3B | KC

    Royals' Paul DeJong: Sitting amid slump

    DeJong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

    DeJong will hit the bench for the second time in three games while he's gotten off to a 3-for-19 start to September. Since joining the Royals ahead of the trade deadline, DeJong has put together a respectable .244/.300/.478 slash line, so the team likely isn't ready to pull the plug on him just yet as a near-everyday player.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Back on bench Wednesday

    Mayo is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston.

    Mayo had made two straight starts after starting just one of the previous six contests. He's back on the bench for Wednesday's series finale, with Emmanuel Rivera drawing the start at third base for the Orioles.

  • Jason Vosler 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Jason Vosler: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Mariners outrighted Vosler to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

    He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Vosler has batted only .179/.233/.286 over 10 games in the majors this season.
