  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Swipes two bags

    Henderson went 2-for-4 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Monday's 9-0 win over the White Sox.

    Henderson has hit safely in 12 of his last 13 games, batting .364 (20-for-55) with eight extra-base hits and three steals in that span. He's up to nine thefts on the season -- while he's had an impactful bat and provided solid defense, he's still not a huge threat to run. The infielder is slashing .251/.329/.479 with 22 home runs, 65 RBI and 75 runs scored over 120 contests.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Belts pair of doubles in win

    Suarez went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and a run in a win over the Athletics on Monday.

    Suarez didn't have a hand in driving in any of the Mariners' runs for a change, but the slugger still contributed to Seattle's 14-hit breakout with his pair of extra-base hits. Suarez has served up a trio of multi-hit efforts in the last seven contests, a stretch where he's gone without a home run but still has a .375 average, 1.073 OPS, four total doubles, seven walks, four runs and an encouragingly low 15.6 percent strikeout rate.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Goes deep in loss

    McMahon went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Monday's loss to Atlanta.

    Despite the final score of 14-4, Colorado kept pace with Atlanta for much of the contest thanks largely to McMahon's bat. He kicked off the scoring with a mammoth 473-foot blast in the first inning and tied the score 4-4 with a sacrifice fly in the fifth. McMahon has reached base safely in 10 of his past 11 contests, slashing .310/.388/.548 with three homers, seven RBI and 12 runs over that span.

  • Austin Riley 3B | ATL

    Braves' Austin Riley: Belts 31st long ball

    Riley went 2-for-5 with a home run, a walk, two total runs and three total RBI in a 14-4 victory versus Colorado on Monday.

    Riley opened the scoring for Atlanta with his two-run shot to right field in the third inning, and he tacked on an RBI single in the seventh. The long ball was his second over his past three contests following a nine-game stretch during which he went just 6-for-33 without any homers. While Riley has been overshadowed by the MVP-level seasons of teammates Ronald Acuna and Matt Olson, he's performed very well in his own right, reaching the 30-homer mark for the third straight campaign while tallying 81 RBI, three steals and a .274/.336/.504 slash line over 578 plate appearances.

  • Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN

    Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Reaches five times in victory

    Hayes went 4-for-4 with a double, a walk, a run and an RBI in Monday's 5-0 win against the Royals.

    Hayes reached safely in each of his five plate appearances, finishing with his fourth career game of at least four hits. The third baseman's lone extra-base knock was a double that plated a run in the third frame. Hayes has been swinging a hot stick for about three weeks, racking up 11 multi-hit games in 19 contests since Aug. 8. He's batting .372 (29-for-78) with five homers, six doubles, one triple, 17 RBI and 12 runs over that span.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Homers again Monday

    Muncy went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Muncy made a quick impact with his first-inning blast, extending his hitting streak to seven games. In that span, he's gone 10-for-30 (.333) with two homers, four doubles and eight RBI. It's an impressive stretch of consistency for the infielder, who owns a .204/.335/.484 slash line with 31 long balls, 85 RBI, 72 runs scored and one stolen base over 108 contests this season.

  • Zack Gelof 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Grabs steal in loss

    Gelof went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 7-0 loss to the Mariners.

    Gelof's bat has cooled off a bit lately -- he's gone eight games without a multi-hit effort. He's added just two steals while batting .156 (5-for-32) in that span. For the season, the second baseman has a .276/.343/.566 slash line with nine steals, 10 home runs, 21 RBI and 24 runs scored over 39 contests.

  • Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA

    Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Hits 21st home run Monday

    Wisdom went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Brewers.

    Appearing in a game for just the fourth time in the last two weeks, Wisdom managed his 21st home run of the season. His career high is 28, though he seems unlikely to reach that number in his smaller role, which has been the result of Jeimer Candelario joining the team at the trade deadline. Wisdom can still provide some pop, but his fantasy appeal is diminished as a bench player.

  • Royce Lewis 1B | MIN

    Twins' Royce Lewis: Drills another grand slam

    Lewis went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's 10-6 win over Cleveland.

    For the second day in a row, Lewis belted a grand slam. He's gone deep four times over his last six games and is 14-for-47 (.298) in 12 games since returning from the injured list. The 24-year-old infielder is now slashing .317/.366/.521 with eight long balls and 28 RBI through 153 plate appearances.

  • Oswald Peraza 2B | LAA

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Heads to bench Monday

    Peraza is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

    For the first time since being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last Tuesday, Peraza will take a seat. He had started at either third base or shortstop in each of the past six games, going 2-for-20 with one walk against eight strikeouts. Oswaldo Cabrera will get the starting nod at the hot corner in Peraza's stead Monday, but both players could see ample opportunities on the left side of the infield down the stretch while the non-contending Yankees shift their focus to evaluating some of their younger players.
