  • 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 2B | 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.

  • Orioles' Emmanuel Rivera: Belts homer Wednesday

    Rivera went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to Boston.

    Rivera put Baltimore on the board in the third inning with a solo shot to left field. He gave the team another lead with an RBI single in the 10th, but Boston emerged with the victory on a Tyler O'Neill walk-off homer in the bottom of that frame. It was a rare opportunity for Rivera to produce, as he's started just twice in the Orioles' past seven games.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Keeps running Wednesday

    Ramirez went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the White Sox.

    Ramirez has swiped a bag in three straight contests, giving him 38 thefts on the year. He continues to extend his career high in that area, but his chances of a 40-40 season are dwindling since he's homered just once over 10 games in September. The third baseman is sporting a .270/.329/.512 slash line with 34 homers, 106 RBI and 103 runs scored over 143 contests this season.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Swipes two bags

    Marte went 1-for-2 with a walk and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Cardinals.

    Marte's playing time has been sporadic in September -- this was his fifth game of the month. He's gone 3-for-15 (.200) in those contests while adding a 1:8 BB:K. Marte is up to eight steals on 10 attempts this year while slashing a meager .203/.239/.305 with four home runs, 15 RBI and 22 runs scored over 54 games. He got the start at designated hitter Wednesday, but that has typically been Amed Rosario's spot in the lineup versus right-handers in recent weeks.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | STL

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Goes yard in win

    Arenado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Reds.

    Arenado tied the game at 1-1 with his fourth-inning solo shot. This was his first homer over nine games in September, and he's now batting .212 (7-for-33) in that span. The third baseman is up to 16 homers, 65 RBI, 64 runs scored, two stolen bases and a .268/.320/.399 slash line over 138 contests this season.

  • Jose Miranda 3B | MIN

    Twins' Jose Miranda: Hitting bench Wednesday

    Miranda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Miranda will hit the bench after he had started in each of the Twins' first 10 games of September while slashing .268/.268/.341. Though he's not locked into a full-time role at any one spot in the Minnesota lineup, Miranda should continue to benefit from near-everyday playing time while moving between first base, third base and designated hitter.

  • Paul DeJong SS | KC

    Royals' Paul DeJong: Sitting amid slump

    DeJong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

    DeJong will hit the bench for the second time in three games while he's gotten off to a 3-for-19 start to September. Since joining the Royals ahead of the trade deadline, DeJong has put together a respectable .244/.300/.478 slash line, so the team likely isn't ready to pull the plug on him just yet as a near-everyday player.

  • Nationals' Ildemaro Vargas: Fills in for resting Garcia

    Vargas will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    Vargas has now picked up just two starts through the Nationals' first nine games of the month, with both coming against left-handed pitchers. He'll be filling in Wednesday for Luis Garcia, who will cede the keystone to Jose Tena while Vargas covers Tena's usual spot in the infield.

  • Coby Mayo 3B | BAL

    Orioles' Coby Mayo: Back on bench Wednesday

    Mayo is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston.

    Mayo had made two straight starts after starting just one of the previous six contests. He's back on the bench for Wednesday's series finale, with Emmanuel Rivera drawing the start at third base for the Orioles.
