  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Getting rest Tuesday

    Duran isn't in Texas' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

    After going 6-for-13 with an RBI during the Rangers' last series against Seattle, Duran will catch a breather to begin Tuesday's series opener. In his absence, Jonathan Ornelas will start at third base and bat ninth.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    Mariners' Josh Rojas: Getting rest against southpaw

    Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Tuesday's game against Houston.

    The left-handed-hitting Rojas will step out of the lineup Tuesday while southpaw Framber Valdez starts on the mound for the Astros. Dylan Moore will man the hot corner instead and bat ninth.

  • Darell Hernaiz SS | ATH

    Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Recalled Tuesday

    Hernaiz was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

    Hernaiz was optioned at the end of August after playing in 20 games in his return from the 60-day injured list. He now rejoins the big-league club after posting an .836 OPS in Triple-A since then. In a corresponding move, Ryan Noda was optioned to Double-A Midland.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Absent from lineup

    Sosa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Angels.

    Sosa had started each of the previous 10 games at second base but will begin this one on the bench. Nicky Lopez will handle the keystone and bat leadoff for the White Sox.

  • Jace Jung 2B | DET

    Tigers' Jace Jung: Playing time drying up

    Jung is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

    Jung has now been absent from the Tigers' lineup for seven of the last 10 games. The rookie has just a .675 OPS and 31.5 percent strikeout rate in his first 31 big-league contests. Zach McKinstry is handling third base Tuesday as manager A.J. Hinch continues to mix and match at the hot corner.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Done for season

    The Rangers are expected to place Jung (wrist) on the 10-day injured list, ending his season, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Jung hasn't played since last Wednesday due to recurring discomfort in his surgically repaired right wrist. He is scheduled to be seen by a hand specialist Thursday in hopes of getting more information on the injury. Ezequiel Duran has started three of the last four games at third base and should continue to be the primary option at the position in the final week of the season. The Rangers are expected to promote either Dustin Harris or Sam Huff from the minors to take Jung's spot on the 28-man active roster.

  • Ernie Clement SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Three hits in loss

    Clement went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

    Batting second Sunday and getting another start at shortstop in the absence of Bo Bichette (finger), Clement continued a strong September that has seen him slash .292/.301/.389 in 18 games with a homer, two steals, four RBI and 10 runs. The 28-year-old infielder should retain a regular spot in the lineup over the final week of the season, and he's positioned himself for a prime role in the Blue Jays' 2025 plans.

  • Miguel Vargas 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Goes deep Sunday

    Vargas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

    Vargas took Yu Darvish deep to left center in the sixth to put the White Sox back up 2-1, though the lead would vanish in the eighth. Vargas picked up his first multi-hit game as a member of the White Sox and just his second home run and stolen base. In 36 games with his new team, Vargas is batting .122/.231/.200 with seven RBI, eight runs and a 15:38 BB:K in 138 plate appearances.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Goes deep in loss

    Bregman went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Angels.

    Bregman started the game's scoring with an RBI sacrifice fly in the third inning. He then ripped a two-run shot in the fifth before singling and scoring a run in each of the eighth and ninth innings. Bregman has gone deep twice in his last three games after hitting just two home runs in his previous 17 appearances. He now owns a .758 OPS with 55 extra-base hits and 78 runs scored through 141 games.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Making push for 40 steals

    Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Athletics.

    Chisholm has been a flash on the basepaths with 10 steals over 19 games in September. He's up to 38 thefts on the season, and while he's been caught stealing 10 times, that volume puts him in position to push for a 40-steal campaign. In addition to the elite speed, he's slashing a reliable .256/.326/.434 with 23 home runs, 70 RBI, 74 runs scored, 19 doubles and four triples over 142 games between the Yankees and the Marlins this year.
