  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Leaves yard again Sunday

    Suarez went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a win over the Astros on Sunday.

    The slugger uncorked a 426-foot shot in the second inning with Josh Rojas aboard to double the Mariners' lead to 4-0 at the time. Suarez extended his on-base streak to 11 games in the process, a stretch during which his two extra-base hits have both been homers. While Suarez, who's left the yard 18 times overall this season, is off the pace of what would be a third straight 30-homer campaign, he's now only 10 RBI from eclipsing the 87 he compiled in his debut Mariners campaign in 2022.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Makes pinch-hit appearance

    Garcia (ribs) went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit RBI-single in Sunday's loss to the Cubs.

    Garcia entered as a pinch hitter for Matt Duffy in the ninth inning after sitting Saturday's game and notched a base hit which jumpstarted a late comeback that fell just short. The 23-year-old is still being viewed as day-to-day while he deals with inflammation near the left side of his ribs, but his appearance off the bench Sunday bodes well for his chances of returning to the lineup Monday versus the Athletics.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Four extra-base hits in win

    Henderson went 4-for-5 with a home run, a triple, two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 12-1 win over the Athletics.

    Henderson had a chance at the cycle, needing a single in his eighth-inning at-bat, but he hit an RBI double instead. While he struggled in Seattle in the first three games of Baltimore's nine-game road trip, he finished strong by going 12-for-26 (.462) with six extra-base hits over his last six contests. The infielder is at a .249/.331/.484 slash line with 21 homers, 61 RBI, 69 runs scored, six stolen bases, 19 doubles and six triples through 113 games overall.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Three hits, homer in win

    Devers went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo homer and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Yankees.

    Devers opened the scoring in the first inning with a solo homer off Clarke Schmidt, his 29th long ball of the year and third in four games. The 26-year-old Devers feasted against Yankees pitching this weekend, going 9-for-13 (.692) with a pair of home runs in the three-game series. His slash line is up to .274/.347/.530 with 85 RBI and 69 runs scored across 499 plate appearances this season.

  • Josh Donaldson 3B | MIL

    Yankees' Josh Donaldson: Continues ramping up toward return

    Donaldson (calf) did sprints on the outfield grass at Yankee Stadium on Sunday, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Donaldson is on the 60-day IL due to a right calf strain and isn't eligible to return until mid-September. All indications are that he should be ready to go at that point, as the veteran has been doing work on the field for several weeks and has now progressed to sprinting. However, Donaldson isn't guaranteed a starting job upon his return, as he struggled to a .142/.225/.434 slash line (albeit with 10 homers) over 120 plate appearances prior to getting hurt.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Remains on bench Sunday

    Garcia (ribs) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

    Garcia was removed from Friday's game due to costochondritis, which is inflammation near his ribs, and will be sidelined Sunday for the second straight game. It's not believed to be a serious issue, so he could rejoin the lineup in the near future. Matt Duffy will receive a turn at third base in his place Sunday in Chicago.

  • Zach McKinstry 2B | DET

    Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Hits bench versus southpaw

    McKinstry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    McKinstry will join fellow left-handed hitter Akil Baddoo on the bench for the series finale while southpaw Logan Allen takes the mound for Cleveland. With McKinstry out of the lineup, Andy Ibanez will draw the starting nod at second base.

  • Curtis Mead 3B | BOS

    Rays' Curtis Mead: Making most of limited chances

    Mead went 1-for-4 with two walks, two RBI, two runs scored and a double in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels.

    Mead stepped into the lineup with lefty Patrick Sandoval on the mound, while Brandon Lowe was out of the lineup. Of Mead's seven starts since being promoted, four have come against southpaws. Though his playing time has been limited, he has at least one hit in each of his last four starts and has scored five runs in that span. Mead has shown the potential to be a productive big leaguer, but for now, he'll need to wait for more consistent playing time.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Rays' Isaac Paredes: Plays big part in rout

    Paredes went 3-for-6 with a home run, three total runs and four total RBI in the nightcap of a doubleheader against the Angels on Saturday.

    Paredes went hitless over four at-bats in a Game 1 loss, but he made up for it with a huge performance in Game 2. He knocked a run-scoring single in the fifth inning and followed that with a three-run blast in the sixth. This was the sixth time this season Paredes has driven in at least four runs in a contest, and he leads Tampa Bay with 76 RBI while tying for first with 24 long balls.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Homers, tallies three hits

    Devers went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Yankees.

    Devers singled in each of his first two at-bats before crushing a solo homer in the top of the ninth, which served as the final blow to New York on the afternoon. It was the third baseman's second consecutive game with three hits, and he's now homered in two of his last three contests, racking up five RBI over that stretch to go along with four runs scored.
