  • Paul DeJong 3B | KC

    Royals' Paul DeJong: Idle Friday

    DeJong is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Pittsburgh.

    DeJong is out of the lineup for the third time in four games, with Adam Frazier slotting in at third base Friday. Since being dealt to Kansas City, DeJong has slashed .239/.294/.467 across 30 games. However, he's gone just 3-for-19 in September.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Homers in win

    Jung went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-4 win over Seattle.

    Jung launched his seventh homer and first in eight games in the second inning to give Texas an early lead. Since returning from a thumb injury that cost him nearly four months, Jung is slashing .260/.288/.390 with five home runs, nine RBI, three steals and 13 runs scored over 38 games.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Swipes bag in fourth straight

    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Cleveland's loss to the Rays on Thursday.

    Ramirez singled and stole second in his first trip to the plate, giving him his fourth consecutive game with at least one steal. The third baseman would also come around to score in the frame, marking his third straight contest with a run scored. Despite having hit safely in each of his last five contests, Ramirez is batting just .222 (10-for-45) in September with one homer, two RBI, six runs and five stolen bases. Thursday's theft was his 39th of the campaign.

  • Ezequiel Duran 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Back on bench Thursday

    Duran is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Seattle.

    Duran has been picking up starts at a multitude of positions since Corey Seager (hip) landed on the 10-day injured list. Until Thursday, Duran had made five consecutive starts, but he went hitless in the last two games as the designated hitter. Adolis Garcia is in the lineup as the designated hitter Thursday while Josh Smith is starting at shortstop.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Slugs another homer Wednesday

    Muncy went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs Wednesday in a 10-8 victory versus the Cubs.

    Muncy was part of a huge Los Angeles first inning during which the team homered four times. The third baseman knocked the third of back-to-back-to-back long balls in that frame, following Tommy Edman and Will Smith. Muncy has three home runs in his past four games and has drawn four walks during that stretch.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Goes yard in blowout win

    Chapman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 13-2 win over the Brewers.

    Chapman has gone 17-for-49 (.347) with four homers, two stolen bases and 10 RBI over his last 14 games. The third baseman's long ball Wednesday gave the Giants their 10th run, and he later exited the blowout win to get some well-earned rest. Chapman is up to 24 homers, 73 RBI, 93 runs scored, 15 steals and a .251/.334/.456 slash line over 142 contests.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | COL

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Belts 19th homer

    McMahon went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Tigers.

    The Rockies were in a 6-0 hole after the first inning, but McMahon got them on the board in the top of the second by taking Casey Mize deep. McMahon has emerged from his post-All-Star break malaise, and over his last 16 games he's slashing a respectable .262/.328/.426 with three homers, four runs and six RBI. His next long ball will give the 29-year-old his fourth straight 20-homer campaign.

  • Jared Triolo 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Jared Triolo: Slugs eighth homer

    Triolo went 2-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Marlins.

    Triolo remains locked in as Pittsburgh's starting third baseman in the absence of Ke'Bryan Hayes (back). In 21 games since Hayes went down, Triolo has hit .261 with three home runs, 14 RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Goes yard twice in rout

    Suarez went 4-for-4 with a double, two solo home runs and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 14-4 rout of the Rangers.

    The third baseman took Cody Bradford deep in the second inning before capping his huge day at the plate with another solo blast in the seventh off Owen White. Suarez is steaming toward his fifth career 30-homer campaign -- through 10 games in September, he's slashing a stunning .500/.558/1.132 with seven long balls. With 92 RBI on the year, the 33-year-old is also closing in on his third career 100-RBI season, and first since 2019.

  • Lenyn Sosa 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Seven-game hitting streak

    Sosa went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Guardians.

    Sosa played his part in a four-run rally in the third inning with an RBI single before also coming around to score. The performance extended his hitting streak to seven games, during which Sosa has hit .407 with two doubles, four runs scored and three RBI. He should get regular run at second base so long as Brooks Baldwin (wrist) is sidelined.
