  • Bryan Ramos 3B | BAL

    White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Headed back to minors

    The White Sox optioned Ramos to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

    He was just recalled Monday but will be sent right back down in order to make room for waiver claim Jacob Amaya. Ramos did not make an appearance during his most recent brief stint in the big leagues.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | CHW

    Mariners' Josh Rojas: Keeps rolling Monday

    Rojas went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Rays on Monday.

    After delivering a two-hit effort that also included a steal as a late addition to Sunday's lineup, Rojas drew another start at the hot corner and kept up the productivity. The 30-year-old's two-bagger was only his second extra-base hit of August, but after a dreadful start to the month, he's now sporting a .269 average and .745 OPS across the 28 plate appearances covering his last eight games.

  • Padres' Manny Machado: Homers, drives in three

    Machado went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Monday's win over St. Louis.

    Machado got started early with a two-run shot in the first frame. He walked and scored a run in the third inning before capping off his day with an RBI double and another run scored in the fifth. Machado has collected multiple hits in three of his last four games and 13 of his last 30 contests overall, stretch, producing a .968 OPS with 25 RBI over the latter stretch. Machado is now slashing .272/.325/.456 with 46 extra-base hits through 520 plate appearances on the season.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: XBH barrage in twin bill

    Ramirez went 4-for-8 with a walk, four doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Monday's doubleheader against the Royals.

    The Guardians dropped both games of the twin bill, but that was through no fault of Ramirez -- the only other extra-base hit any Cleveland batter managed in either contest was a solo shot by Daniel Schneemann in the nightcap. Ramirez's barrage of two-baggers brought him to 31 doubles on the season, to go with 33 homers and 32 steals. It's the second time in his career he's produced a 30-30-30 campaign, and per Zack Meisel of The Athletic, it's a feat only one other player in Cleveland history (Grady Sizemore in 2008) has accomplished.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Swats decisive homer

    McMahon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 win against Miami.

    McMahon had the only extra-base hit by either team in the contest, and it was a big one, as his sixth-inning, 438-foot solo shot broke a 2-2 tie and ended up providing the decisive margin of victory. The long ball snapped a 20-game homerless streak for the infielder, and he had batted a meager .155 with a 31.3 percent strikeout rate during the power drought. McMahon now has 17 home runs overall this season, putting him on pace to reach the 20-homer mark for the fourth consecutive campaign.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Goes deep in easy win

    Paredes went 2-for-5 with a walk, a home run, two additional runs scored and two total RBI in Monday's 18-8 win over the Pirates.

    Paredes helped pile on to the rout, launching his 19th home run of the season in the eighth inning. The 25-year-old has recorded three of those long balls in 24 games for the Cubs since coming over in a late July trade, and he's batting .161 for his new team. That's not exactly what fantasy managers had in mind, but Paredes should continue to see regular playing time, and he has the talent to turn things around in a hurry.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Goes deep in win

    Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 win over the Nationals.

    Chisholm has now hit eight of his 21 homers since his Yankees debut on July 28. He seems to be fine after returning from an elbow injury Friday. The 26-year-old has a .982 OPS in 18 games since the trade and needs four more games at third base to qualify there in 2025 leagues where 20 games are needed to qualify at a position.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Braves' Gio Urshela: Handling everyday role

    Urshela will start at third base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Twins.

    Since finalizing a one-year contract with Atlanta last Tuesday, Urshela has quickly settled into an everyday role at third base. He'll draw a seventh consecutive start Monday after going 6-for-22 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and one run in first six games with Atlanta.

  • Bryan Ramos 3B | BAL

    White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Rejoins big club

    The White Sox recalled Ramos from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

    Chicago has been leaning on a combination of Lenyn Sosa (.403 OPS in August) and Miguel Vargas (.420 OPS in August) at third base in recent weeks, but neither player has performed well enough to seize control of an everyday role. Ramos could contend for reps at the hot corner while he's up with Chicago, though he endured similar struggles at the plate during his first taste of the majors back in May. He slashed .196/.208/.239 with a 2.1 percent walk rate and a 16.7 percent strikeout rate in 48 plate appearances for the White Sox before he was optioned to Charlotte on May 30.

  • Nick Senzel 3B | LAD

    White Sox's Nick Senzel: Loses 40-man roster spot

    The White Sox designated Senzel for assignment Monday.

    Senzel signed with the White Sox in mid-July after being released by the Nationals, but he went just 3-for-30 in 10 games for Chicago and had been playing sparingly of late. The 29-year-old will likely clear waivers just as he did last month.
