Matt Duffy 3B | TEX
Angels' Matt Duffy: Homers in Tuesday's win
Duffy went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.
Duffy got the Angels on the board when he took a Cole Ragans offering down the left-field line in the second inning. Duffy was part of a rally in the sixth after getting aboard with a single, and he scored the last run of the game. The 31-year-old has posted consecutive multi-hit efforts for the first time since late May. He's up to a .260/.311/.328 slash line with two homers, 14 RBI, 11 runs scored and seven doubles through 206 plate appearances. Duffy appears to have near-everyday playing time at third base.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Effective out of leadoff spot
Henderson went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Detroit.
Henderson made the most of his first career start batting leadoff in the big leagues. He recorded his fifth multi-hit effort in his last seven games, including a two-run home run. The homer, Henderson's third on the campaign, was a 409-foot blast to right field in the seventh inning which pulled the game to within one. It's uncertain if he will stick in the leadoff spot, but Henderson looks like he should be a quality source of counting stats down the stretch regardless of where he bats in the order.

Jeimer Candelario 3B | LAA
Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Perfect day at plate
Candelario went 4-for-4 with two doubles and one run scored in Tuesday's victory over Baltimore.
Candelario was perfect at the dish Tuesday as he recorded a hit in all four at-bats, two of which went for extra bases. The multi-hit effort was his fifth in his last 15 games, but those games have come sporadically as he has maintained a part-time role since the beginning of September. He's slashing .209/.266/.359 on the season.

Senzel sustained a fractured toe Tuesday against the Red Sox and will miss the rest of the season, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

The oft-injured Senzel played in a career-high 110 games this season and posted a .231/.296/.306 slash line with five home runs, 25 RBI, 45 runs and eight stolen bases.
