  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Three hits in nightcap

    Garcia went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in a 9-4 win over the Guardians in the second game of Monday's doubleheader.

    Garcia went hitless in the matinee, which was the fourth time in five contests he had been held without a hit. The infielder bounced back in the nightcap, earning his first three-hit effort since he had four knocks May 21 versus the Tigers. Garcia is now at a .238/.285/.347 slash line with seven home runs, 23 doubles, a career-high 51 RBI, 81 runs scored and 30 stolen bases through 128 contests. He'll continue to split time between second base and third base, though Garcia is not guaranteed an everyday spot in the lineup.

  • Paul DeJong 3B | KC

    Royals' Paul DeJong: Goes yard in nightcap

    DeJong went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in a 9-4 win over the Guardians in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader.

    DeJong didn't play in the matinee, but he was able to make an impact while starting at third base in the nightcap. The infielder has gone 11-for-32 (.344) with three homers, three doubles and six RBI over his last nine contests. For the season, he has a .238/.288/.450 slash line with 22 homers, 51 RBI, 48 runs scored, 17 doubles and two stolen bases over 120 games between the Royals and the White Sox. DeJong is not an everyday player in Kansas City, but he hasn't been limited to platoon duties since Maikel Garcia occasionally shifts over to cover second base.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Starting rehab assignment

    Moncada (adductor) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Moncada started his initial rehab assignment in early July but was pulled off after just five games due to general soreness. He's now ready to give it a go again, setting up a potential return from the 60-day injured list in early September if all goes well this time around. Moncada's last game with the White Sox before he suffered an adductor strain came back in early April.

  • Bryan Ramos 3B | CHW

    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 | SEA

    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 | COL

    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 | CHC

    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 3B | 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.
