Henderson went 4-for-5 with a home run, a triple, two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 12-1 win over the Athletics.

Henderson had a chance at the cycle, needing a single in his eighth-inning at-bat, but he hit an RBI double instead. While he struggled in Seattle in the first three games of Baltimore's nine-game road trip, he finished strong by going 12-for-26 (.462) with six extra-base hits over his last six contests. The infielder is at a .249/.331/.484 slash line with 21 homers, 61 RBI, 69 runs scored, six stolen bases, 19 doubles and six triples through 113 games overall.

Devers went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo homer and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Yankees.

Devers opened the scoring in the first inning with a solo homer off Clarke Schmidt, his 29th long ball of the year and third in four games. The 26-year-old Devers feasted against Yankees pitching this weekend, going 9-for-13 (.692) with a pair of home runs in the three-game series. His slash line is up to .274/.347/.530 with 85 RBI and 69 runs scored across 499 plate appearances this season.

Kieboom was recalled from Triple-A Rochester to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's Little League Classic against the Phillies, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Kieboom returned from the injured list at Rochester in early August after missing nearly two months with an oblique injury, and he'll now have the chance to make his first MLB appearance since 2021. Since the 25-year-old is up with the Nationals as an extra player Sunday, he could be sent back down immediately following the contest.

Donaldson (calf) did sprints on the outfield grass at Yankee Stadium on Sunday, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Donaldson is on the 60-day IL due to a right calf strain and isn't eligible to return until mid-September. All indications are that he should be ready to go at that point, as the veteran has been doing work on the field for several weeks and has now progressed to sprinting. However, Donaldson isn't guaranteed a starting job upon his return, as he struggled to a .142/.225/.434 slash line (albeit with 10 homers) over 120 plate appearances prior to getting hurt.

Garcia (ribs) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Garcia was removed from Friday's game due to costochondritis, which is inflammation near his ribs, and will be sidelined Sunday for the second straight game. It's not believed to be a serious issue, so he could rejoin the lineup in the near future. Matt Duffy will receive a turn at third base in his place Sunday in Chicago.

McKinstry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

McKinstry will join fellow left-handed hitter Akil Baddoo on the bench for the series finale while southpaw Logan Allen takes the mound for Cleveland. With McKinstry out of the lineup, Andy Ibanez will draw the starting nod at second base.

Machado went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in a 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Getting the start at DH due to accumulated bumps and bruises, including a bout of elbow soreness, Machado's swing seemed to be in peak form as he took Merrill Kelly deep to left field in the first inning before slicing a Kevin Ginkel fastball over the right-field wall in the eighth. Machado was back at third base for the nightcap, and while he went 0-for-4, the fact that he was feeling well enough to play defense is a strong sign his health issues are minor.

Mead went 1-for-4 with two walks, two RBI, two runs scored and a double in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels.

Mead stepped into the lineup with lefty Patrick Sandoval on the mound, while Brandon Lowe was out of the lineup. Of Mead's seven starts since being promoted, four have come against southpaws. Though his playing time has been limited, he has at least one hit in each of his last four starts and has scored five runs in that span. Mead has shown the potential to be a productive big leaguer, but for now, he'll need to wait for more consistent playing time.

Paredes went 3-for-6 with a home run, three total runs and four total RBI in the nightcap of a doubleheader against the Angels on Saturday.

Paredes went hitless over four at-bats in a Game 1 loss, but he made up for it with a huge performance in Game 2. He knocked a run-scoring single in the fifth inning and followed that with a three-run blast in the sixth. This was the sixth time this season Paredes has driven in at least four runs in a contest, and he leads Tampa Bay with 76 RBI while tying for first with 24 long balls.

Arenado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 13-2 loss to the Mets.

Arenado is batting .303 (20-for-66) with four homers in August, but he has just eight RBI over 16 contests this month. The third baseman's warm stretch has lifted his slash line to .283/.329/.509 for the season, and he's added 26 homers, 85 RBI, 58 runs scored and two stolen bases through 118 games overall. He's still got enough season left to get to his usual milestones of 30 homers and 100 RBI.
