  • Matt Duffy 3B | TEX

    Rays' Matt Duffy: Takes seat Monday

    Duffy is not in Monday's lineup against the Mariners, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

    While Duffy and Mike Brosseau are both right-handed, Brosseau has a more recent track record of crushing lefties, so he will get the start against southpaw Marco Gonzales. Duffy is hitting .260/.329/.312 with zero home runs and zero steals in 20 games this season.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Goes deep again

    LeMahieu went 2-for-5 Sunday with a home run and three RBI in an 8-4 loss against the Indians.

    The 31-year-old just continues to rake, as he posted three multi-hit games against the Indians during the weekend series. He has also homered in each of his last two games. LeMahieu is favored to win another batting title, with his .339 clip, and he has a career-high 21 homers. He also possesses 86 RBI, 87 runs and four steals in 460 at-bats this season.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Records four more hits

    Devers went 4-for-5 with a double, home run, four RBI and two runs in a 13-7 victory against the Orioles on Sunday.

    The 22-year-old became the first MLB player with more than 100 RBI this season with his four runs driven in during the comeback win. He's red hot right now, going 20-for-37 (.541) in his last eight games, which has raised his average almost 20 points in about 10 days. Devers is contributing in multiple categories, though, with a .335 average, 27 home runs, 102 runs and eight steals in 499 at-bats this season.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Could return for Minnesota series

    White Sox manager Rick Renteria said Moncada (hamstring) could return during the series against the Twins that begins Monday, Doug Padilla of the Chicago Sun-TImes reports.

    Moncada looks ready to return after going 4-for-12 in the first three games of his rehab assignment before getting the day off Sunday.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Reaches 30-homer mark again

    Bregman went 4-for-4 with a homer, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Athletics.

    Bregman's three-run shot in the fifth inning put the Astros on top and ended up being the deciding play of the game. The AL MVP candidate has knocked 30 homers for the second consecutive season and needs just one more to tie his career best of 31. Bregman has 83 RBI and 93 runs scored alongside a .974 OPS.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Indians' Jose Ramirez: Idle for series finale

    Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Ramirez isn't believed to have sustained an injury coming out of Saturday's 6-5 loss, so he'll likely just be getting a maintenance day as he checks out of the lineup for the first time since July 29. Mike Freeman will fill at third base for Ramirez, who is batting a scorching .328/.380/.750 through 17 games in August.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Plays both ends of doubleheader

    Moncada (hamstring) went a combined 3-for-7 with a home run and two RBI in a doubleheader for Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

    Moncada started at third base in the opener, then moved to designated hitter for the nightcap, playing every inning in both ends of the twin bill. He's now played three games in two days while on a rehab assignment, which suggests he could rejoin the White Sox in Minnesota for a series against the Twins that kicks off Monday.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Athletics' Matt Chapman: Posts three hits

    Chapman went 3-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI, two runs and a walk during an 8-4 victory over the Astros on Saturday.

    The 26-year-old wasn't able to smack another homer, but he did record three hits for the second time in the weekend series against the Astros. He has five extra-base hits in the first three contests of the four-game set. Chapman is batting .263 with 29 home runs, 70 RBI and 79 runs in 449 at-bats this season.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Slugs 26th homer

    Devers went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Orioles.

    The 22-year-old continues to rake. Devers is slashing .323/.353/.662 with five long balls and 13 RBI this month, and on the year he's now hitting .327 with 26 homers, 97 RBI, 101 runs and eight steals -- all career highs.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Clubs 20th homer

    LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with two RBI in a 6-5 victory over the Indians on Saturday.

    LeMahieu tied the score with an RBI single in the third inning and then hit his 20th homer to right field off Zach Plesac in the fifth to put the Yankees in front 5-4. The 31-year-old not only leads the league in batting average, but he's actually been better in August, hitting .375 with five homers. For the season, he's slashing .338/.386/.538 with 83 RBI in 455 at-bats.
