  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Lifts offense in return

    Paredes went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Yankees.

    After getting a breather Saturday, Paredes returned on Sunday and keyed the offense with a two-RBI single in the first inning, which was enough for the win in the pitchers' duel. Paredes is still scuffling a bit, however, as he's batting just .207 over his last 10 games and is hitting .167 in 35 games overall with the Cubs since coming over in a trade. Despite the struggles, the 25-year-old should remain locked into an everyday role.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | HOU

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Goes yard Sunday

    Bregman went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Bregman got the Astros on the board with a two-run blast off Ryne Nelson in the fourth but was held quiet the rest of the night. The long ball was his first since Aug. 25 and he's now driven in four runs over the last two games after combining for just four RBI total over his previous 15 games. For the year, Bregman is slashing .259/.315/.447 with 22 homers, 65 RBI, 70 runs, three steals and a 38:77 BB:K in 562 plate appearances.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Homers as part of four-hit day

    Suarez went 4-for-5 with a solo homer and four runs scored in Sunday's win over the Astros.

    Suarez tallied his second four-hit game over the last two weeks and his seventh multi-hit effort in 16 games since Aug. 23. His turnaround at the dish this season has been remarkable. Through June 30, he was slashing just .196/.279/.312 with six homers and a .591 OPS. Since July 1, he leads the majors in RBI (58), is tied for first in home runs (20) and is third in runs (53). For the year, he's slashing .250/.318/.467 with 26 homers, 90 RBI, 80 runs, two steals and a 46:151 BB:K in 566 plate appearances.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Homers, swipes bag in win

    Chapman went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Padres.

    Chapman took Joe Musgrove deep in the fourth to get the Giants on the board for his 23rd of the season. He now has at least a hit in 11 of his last 12 starts and is slashing .357/.386/.643 with a 1.029 OPS over that span. Chapman also swiped his 15th base of the year and is 15-for-17 on stolen base attempts this season after coming into the year just 11-for-23 in that category for his career. A 20-20 campaign is not out of reach for the 31-year-old, who is now slashing .251/.334/.451 with 58 extra-base hits, 71 RBI, 92 runs and a 61:145 BB:K in 595 plate appearances.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Goes deep Sunday

    Muncy went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Guardians.

    Muncy took Anthony Gose deep in the eighth to pad the Dodgers lead for his first home run since Aug. 20 and his first extra-base hit in September. He has just two hits in 15 at-bats so far this month but has kept a patient eye with a 5:5 BB:K. For the year, Muncy is slashing .231/.347/.495 with 12 homers, 36 RBI, 34 runs and a 32:64 BB:K in 222 plate appearances.

  • Connor Norby 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Connor Norby: Launches two more dingers

    Norby went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI Sunday against the Phillies.

    Norby began the scoring barrage for the Marlins with a two-run blast in the first inning. He then put the cap on a seven-run third inning with another two-run dinger. The rookie deadline acquisition now has three homers and seven RBI over the last two games and has hit safely in 17 of 18 games since joining the Marlins, batting .329 with six home runs, seven doubles, 13 RBI, 18 runs and two steals across 73 at-bats.

  • Angels' Charles Leblanc: Lifts homer in loss

    Leblanc went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers.

    Leblanc provided the bulk of the Angels' scoring with his fourth-inning blast off Andrew Heaney. The homer was his second hit in five games with the Angels this season, though the infielder has maintained a decent .254/.379/.437 slash line over 98 games with Triple-A Salt Lake. Leblanc is unlikely to see much more than short-side platoon usage over the final three weeks of the season, and even then, he's not guaranteed to play against every opposing southpaw.

  • Ezequiel Duran SS | TEX

    Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Clubs third homer

    Duran went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Angels.

    Duran has hit safely in all five of his games in September, going 7-for-18 (.389) with a homer, five RBI and three doubles in that span. His blast stretched the Rangers' lead to 4-0 in the second inning Sunday. Duran is up to a .256/.295/.336 slash line with three homers, 19 RBI, 24 runs scored, nine doubles and one stolen base over 237 plate appearances this season. Duran has filled a utility role in the infield with the Rangers using a handful of players as replacements for Corey Seager (hip) at shortstop. In September alone, Duran has seen starts at second base, third base, shortstop and in left field.

  • Billy Cook 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Billy Cook: Successful big-league debut

    Cook went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Sunday against the Nationals.

    Cook had his contract selected from Triple-A earlier Sunday when Henry Davis was put on the shelf with left hand inflammation, then responded with a two-run double in his first big-league at-bat. He later collected a single to round out a successful debut. Cook is a versatile defender capable of playing all over the field and thus could receive an extended look by the Pirates over the final few weeks of the season.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Angels' Anthony Rendon: On bench Sunday

    Rendon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Rendon has gone 4-for-27 in his past eight games and will sit for Sunday's series finale in Texas. Michael Stefanic will start at the hot corner and bat seventh in his place.
