  • Luis Urias 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Luis Urias: Draws rare start Sunday

    Urias drew his first start since Sept. 4 in Sunday's win over the Rangers and went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch and a run.

    Urias was making his first appearance of any kind since that game, one in which he'd rapped out three extra-base hits and knocked in four runs. Despite that stellar performance, Urias had not been able to crack the starting nine again with Josh Rojas healthy and getting regular run at the hot corner. Urias limped to a .152 average and .580 OPS across his first 35 games at the big-league level this season before being demoted to Triple-A Tacoma, but he'd earned a call back up by posting a strong .260 average and .789 OPS across 78 games with the Rainiers.

  • Bryan Ramos 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Goes deep in win

    Ramos went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a double and a walk in Sunday's win over Oakland.

    Ramos' solo shot in the sixth inning proved to be the game-deciding run. It was his second career home run and both have come in his last six appearances. The rookie third baseman is slashing .209/.250/.343 with five extra-base hits through 22 games.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Leaves yard Sunday

    Muncy went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

    Muncy blasted a solo home run off John Brebbia in the top of the ninth for the Dodgers' third home run and seventh run of the inning. Muncy now has six homers in 80 plate appearances since returning from a strained oblique in August with four of those home runs coming over the last seven games. He's now up to 15 on the year and has knocked in 40 runs while scoring 39 times in 62 games.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Activation imminent

    Moncada (adductor) joined the White Sox on Sunday and is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    The 29-year-old has been sidelined since April due to an adductor strain, but he's apparently ready to rejoin the active roster after a 12-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. Moncada played in just 11 games prior to the injury, but he'll look to finish the season strong as he likely heads into free agency this offseason, since the White Sox are a strong bet to decline his $25 million club option for 2025.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Josh Rojas: On bench versus southpaw

    Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    The Mariners entered Sunday having faced nine straight right-handed starting pitchers, and Rojas posted a .397 OPS while starting all of those games. Luis Urias will take over at the hot corner against Texas lefty Andrew Heaney.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Jung is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Jung started the first 13 games of September and will receive Sunday off after he began the month with three homers and an .881 OPS. Ezequiel Duran will shift to the hot corner while Carson Kelly receives a start at designated hitter.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | HOU

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Bregman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Bregman will receive a day off after a run of seven straight starts, during which he went 6-for-30 with two homers, six RBI and five runs. Mauricio Dubon will receive a look at the hot corner while batting ninth.

  • Miguel Vargas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Losing work to Ramos

    Vargas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    Vargas will take a seat for the second day in a row and for the third time in five contests. Bryan Ramos appears to have supplanted Vargas as Chicago's preferred option at third base, though both players could see their opportunities dry up if Yoan Moncada (adductor) is able to return from the injured list later in the week.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Hits three doubles Saturday

    Solano went 4-for-5 with three doubles and a run in Saturday's 8-0 win against the Giants.

    Solano batted out of the No. 8 hole and gave the Padres plenty of run-scoring opportunities with his trio of two-baggers, though he was knocked in just once. The veteran infielder has started at first base in three of San Diego's past four contests and appears set to see plenty of playing time at that position with Jake Cronenworth playing second base and Xander Bogaerts shifting to shortstop while Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) continues to miss time. Solano has earned the uptick in opportunities by slashing .312/.361/.468 over 32 games since the All-Star break.

  • Jose Miranda 3B | MIN

    Twins' Jose Miranda: Sits for third time in four games

    Miranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds,

    On the bench for the third time in four games against a right-hander, Miranda looks as though he'll have to settle for more of a part-time role after the Twins recently welcomed Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa back from the injured list. Miranda should still have a regular spot in the lineup against left-handed pitching.
