MLB Player News

Duffy went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs.

Duffy got aboard on a fielder's choice in the second inning and proceeded to record his first steal of the season. The infielder last swiped a bag in 2021 when he picked up eight steals in 97 games with the Cubs. The 32-year-old has seen a little extra playing time lately with Maikel Garcia (ribs) dealing with a nagging injury. Duffy is slashing .258/.315/.319 with one home run, 12 RBI and 15 runs scored over 178 plate appearances, mainly serving as a short-side platoon option this season.

Riley went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

After rapping a two-out single in the first inning, Riley got himself into scoring position with his third steal of the season -- a new career high -- and first since late June. The third baseman is slashing .304/.360/.557 through 19 games in August with five home runs, 13 RBI and 14 runs, and he sits one long ball short of his third straight 30-homer campaign.

Suarez went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a win over the Astros on Sunday.

The slugger uncorked a 426-foot shot in the second inning with Josh Rojas aboard to double the Mariners' lead to 4-0 at the time. Suarez extended his on-base streak to 11 games in the process, a stretch during which his two extra-base hits have both been homers. While Suarez, who's left the yard 18 times overall this season, is off the pace of what would be a third straight 30-homer campaign, he's now only 10 RBI from eclipsing the 87 he compiled in his debut Mariners campaign in 2022.

Garcia (ribs) went 1-for-1 with a pinch-hit RBI-single in Sunday's loss to the Cubs.

Garcia entered as a pinch hitter for Matt Duffy in the ninth inning after sitting Saturday's game and notched a base hit which jumpstarted a late comeback that fell just short. The 23-year-old is still being viewed as day-to-day while he deals with inflammation near the left side of his ribs, but his appearance off the bench Sunday bodes well for his chances of returning to the lineup Monday versus the Athletics.

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.
