Diamondbacks' Blaze Alexander: Homers again
Alexander went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Alexander belted his fourth home run in nine games, and his second in as many nights, by taking Jack Leiter yard in the third inning. He hadn't hit a round tripper in 2025 before the start of this nine-game stretch. The 26-year-old has been outstanding since taking Eugenio Suarez's spot at third base, and he's 14-for-38 (.368) in August with nine RBI and seven runs scored.

Ernie Clement SS | TOR
Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Goes deep in third straight game
Clement went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Cubs.
Clement is embarking on quite the power surge, having now gone deep in three straight games and four of his last five. The 29-year-old infielder is pushing to maintain steady playing time in Toronto's infield now that Andres Gimenez has returned from the injured list. Across his last 13 outings, Clement is hitting a torrid .357 with eight extra-base hits and eight RBI covering 56 at-bats.

Twins' Brooks Lee: Not in Tuesday's lineup

Miguel Vargas 2B | CHW
White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Back from injured list
The White Sox reinstated Vargas (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
The 25-year-old landed on the injured list in early August due to an oblique strain, and he'll rejoin the big-league club after missing just the 10-day minimum. Prior to the injury, Vargas came out of the All-Star break hot with an .874 OPS in 13 games.

Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN
Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Out of lineup Tuesday
Hayes is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.
Hayes is slumping at the dish, slashing .136/.174/.182 with one double, one run scored and one walk across 23 trips to the plate over the last seven days. Santiago Espinal will start at third base and bat ninth against left-hander Ranger Suarez on Tuesday.

Mark Vientos DH | NYM
Mets' Mark Vientos: Remains on bench Tuesday
Vientos remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
Vientos hasn't started three of the Mets' past four contests and appears to be falling into a reserve role, as Brett Baty is starting at third and batting ninth Tuesday while Starling Marte handles DH duties in the sixth spot in the order. Vientos has a .191/.269/.191 slash line across 11 at-bats over the last seven days.

Matt Chapman 3B | SF
Giants' Matt Chapman: Singles in loss
Chapman went 1-for-3 in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Padres.
Chapman singled on a groundball in the seventh inning, marking the second time this month he's recorded hits in back-to-back games. The third baseman has struggled in August, slashing .176/.293/.206 with four runs scored, two RBI and a double in 41 plate appearances. Overall, he's now slashing .231/.338/.427 with 53 runs scored, 44 RBI, 16 home runs and seven stolen bases across 399 plate appearances.

Paul DeJong SS | NYY
Nationals' Paul DeJong: Third straight multi-hit game
DeJong went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Royals.
Getting the start at third base, DeJong took Daniel Lynch deep in the fifth inning to provide the Nationals with their final offense of the night. DeJong has three straight multi-hit performances, with the prior two starts coming at second base while Luis Garcia was dealing with back tightness. Garcia returned to the starting nine Monday, but interim manager Miguel Cairo will be motivated to keep DeJong in the lineup given his hot bat -- over 40 plate appearances since the All-Star break, the veteran utility infielder is slashing .333/.375/.639 with two doubles, three homers, two steals and seven RBI.

Junior Caminero 3B | TB
Rays' Junior Caminero: Tallies three hits, including homer
Caminero went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk Monday in a 7-4 win over the Athletics.
Caminero scored the first run of the game following a second-inning infield single, and he then plated himself with a big 419-foot blast in the seventh frame. The talented young third baseman has been on a power binge of late, going deep five times over his past five games. Caminero has tacked on eight RBI in that span, pushing him up to 81 runs batted in -- fifth-most in the American League -- on the campaign.
