Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Suarez has gotten his bat going again with three homers over his last nine games, a span in which he's gone 9-for-33 (.273). The third baseman opened the scoring with the fourth-inning blast, and he also hit into a double play in the sixth that allowed another run to score. For the season, he's at a .232/.324/.393 slash line with 21 homers, 88 RBI, 62 runs scored and two stolen bases over 137 contests.

Gelof went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Padres.

Gelof recorded his first game this month with just one hit -- he had seven multi-hit efforts and five hitless games to begin September. His power has taken a dip this month with six doubles and one home run over 13 contests, and this was his second steal in that span. Gelof is at a .268/.335/.516 slash line with 11 homers, 11 steals, 25 RBI and 33 runs scored through 54 games this season.

Rendon (lower leg) revealed Friday that he was diagnosed with a fractured left tibia in August, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

The injury had been called a bone bruise ever since Rendon landed on the IL in mid-July, but at least there is now a bit more clarity as to why he's remained on the shelf. Rendon just recently resumed baseball activities and seems doubtful to return to the Angels' active roster before the end of the season.

The Angels placed Moustakas on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left forearm extensor strain.

This could be a season-ending injury for the veteran infielder given where it lands on the baseball calendar. Kyren Paris has been brought back from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding roster move ahead of Friday's series opener against the Tigers.

Henderson is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Friday versus the Rays.

The 22-year-old has mostly been hitting second for the Orioles in recent weeks, with Adley Rutschman handling leadoff duties, but those two will swap spots in Friday's game against Tampa Bay. Henderson is slashing .319/.355/.625 over his last 76 plate appearances dating back to Aug. 28.

Garcia is not in the lineup Friday against the Astros.

Garcia has been useful in fantasy at times this season, but he is slashing just .212/.281/.294 over his last 96 plate appearances dating back to Aug. 17. Nick Loftin will start at third base for the Royals on Friday as left fielder MJ Melendez takes a turn in the leadoff spot.

Henderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Rays.

The blast extended Henderson's hitting streak to seven games. In that span, he's gone 12-for-32 with three homers and six RBI. He's lifted four homers in September and 26 for the year while slashing .259/.330/.500 over 135 contests. The rookie infielder has added 76 RBI, 89 runs scored, nine stolen bases, 26 doubles and eight triples, and he's been one of the Orioles' most consistent hitters in the second half.

Lewis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in a 10-2 win against the White Sox on Thursday.

Lewis gave the Twins a 2-0 lead with a fourth-inning solo shot and added another RBI with a bases-loaded walk in the ninth. The rookie has just two hits in 15 at-bats over his past four games, but both have left the park, and he's racked up five RBI during that span. Lewis is slashing an impressive .300/.355/.530 with 13 homers, 46 RBI, 32 runs and five thefts over 217 plate appearances on the campaign.

LeMahieu went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and two RBI in the second game of a doubleheader against Boston on Thursday.

LeMahieu sat out the early contest before slotting in at the top of New York's order for the nightcap. The veteran helped the Yankees earn a split of the doubleheader with a three-hit performance that included an RBI single in the second inning and run-scoring double in the eighth. LeMahieu's three hits were more than he had tallied over the previous week combined -- he had gone 2-for-19 over his last five games heading into Thursday.

Peraza went 4-for-9 with a double, a home run, two runs and two RBI across both games of a doubleheader against the Red Sox on Thursday.

Peraza notched two of New York's six hits in the matinee, though neither helped the team avoid a shutout. The infielder made more noise in the nightcap, coming home after a second-inning double and adding a two-run homer in the ninth that gave the Yankees some much-needed cushion. Peraza is in the midst of a modest seven-game hitting streak, during which he is slashing .379/.379/.586 with four extra-base hits, three runs and four RBI.
