  • Ernie Clement 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Crosses plate three times Tuesday

    Clement went 2-for-4 with a triple and three runs scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Mets.

    The 28-year-old infielder's hot bat has kept him in the lineup in September. Clement has five multi-hit performances in eight games to begin the month, batting .324 (11-for-34) with a double, a triple, a homer, a steal, two RBI and eight runs. He could get squeezed for playing time once Bo Bichette (calf) comes off the IL, but for now Clement will continue bouncing between shortstop and third base while getting regular at-bats.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Reaches four times Tuesday

    Caminero went 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in a 9-4 loss to the Phillies on Tuesday.

    It was an encouraging showing from Caminero, who'd gone just 3-for-23 in his previous six contests. The 21-year-old rookie is batting .266 with a .739 OPS, three homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases across 112 plate appearances since he was recalled to serve as Tampa Bay's everyday third baseman in mid-August.

  • Ezequiel Duran 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Makes fourth consecutive start

    Duran started at designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Tuesday's 6-0 loss to Arizona.

    Duran made a fourth consecutive start and sixth over the last seven contests. During that run, he's played left field, second base, shortstop, third base and DH while going 7-for-20 with four extra-base hits, two walks, five RBI and five runs scored. The opportunities could dry up when Corey Seager (hip) returns.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Placed on injured list

    The Angels placed Rendon on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Sunday, due to a left oblique strain.

    Manager Ron Washington said Monday that Rendon was expected to rejoin the lineup Tuesday after sitting out two straight games due to back soreness, but the third baseman will instead move to the injured list after being diagnosed with an oblique injury. The 34-year-old will be eligible to be reinstated Sept. 18, but there's no guarantee he's back before the end of the campaign, especially given his injury history.

  • Miguel Vargas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Absent from lineup

    Vargas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Guardians.

    Vargas had started each of the last three games but will take a seat to begin this one. Bryan Ramos will start at third base and bat eighth for the White Sox on Tuesday.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Picks up steal Monday

    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-3 win over the White Sox.

    Ramirez is up to 36 steals this season, including 10 over his last 25 contests. In that span, he's hit just .215 (20-for-93), but he's also posted a 14:12 BB:K to keep his on-base numbers at a passable level. The third baseman is at a .271/.330/.514 slash line, 34 home runs, 106 RBI, 101 runs scored, 31 doubles and a triple through 141 games this season.

  • Rafael Devers 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Three-hit night in win

    Devers went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Monday's 12-3 win over Baltimore.

    Devers appears to be emerging from a recent 1-for-24 stretch. He's hit safely in three of the last four games, going 6-for-15 with two walks, a double and three runs scored.

  • Bryan Ramos 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Swats first big-league homer

    Ramos went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Monday in a loss to the Guardians.

    Ramos was the biggest bright spot in another loss for Chicago, as he swatted a two-run shot to left field in the eighth inning for his first major-league home run. The 22-year-old had been finding big-league pitching hard to figure out prior to Monday, as he was batting just .196 with one walk over 48 plate appearances. Ramos has some pop -- he went deep as many as 22 times in a season (2022) in the minors -- and he could get some increased run down the stretch with the White Sox understandably looking ahead to the future.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: Expected back Tuesday

    Angels manager Ron Washington said Monday that he expects Rendon (back) to return to the lineup Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    He's out of the lineup for a second straight contest Monday due to left side back soreness, but Washington said holding Rendon out is a precautionary measure. The veteran third baseman is slashing an anemic .218/.307/.267 over 238 plate appearances this season.

  • Paul DeJong 3B | KC

    Royals' Paul DeJong: Absent from lineup

    DeJong is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

    DeJong has gone 3-for-26 with one home run and 13 strikeouts over his last eight games, so he'll begin Monday's game on the bench while he's slumping at the plate. Maikel Garcia will check in for DeJong at third base and will bat seventh.
