    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Getting Wednesday off

    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

  • Angels' Gustavo Campero: Filling in for injured Adams

    Campero will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    He'll occupy right field for the eighth time in nine games, with injuries to Mickey Moniak and Jordyn Adams (knee) paving the way for Campero to pick up at-bats following his Sept. 15 call-up from Triple-A Salt Lake. Moniak has since returned to action, but Adams will miss out on a fifth straight start while he tends to the knee injury. Campero has opened his big-league career by going 8-for-28 (.286 average) with two stolen bases, three RBI and three runs through his first eight contests.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Resting up Wednesday

    Rutschman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

    He'll hit the bench after starting in each of the past five games, with four coming at catcher. James McCann will fill in for Rutschman behind the dish Wednesday.

  • Rays' Ben Rortvedt: Receiving rest Wednesday

    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

  • Jake Rogers C | DET

    Tigers' Jake Rogers: Getting day off

    Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Another productive night

    Langeliers went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

    Langeliers crossed home plate both times on base, scoring on Tyler Soderstrom's first-inning double and Zack Gelof's sixth-inning go-ahead sacrifice fly. The hot-hitting backstop is finishing the regular season on a tear, as he now boasts a six-game hitting streak as well as nine extra-base hits, 14 RBI and an .825 OPS across the 88 plate appearances covering his last 23 games.

  • Jonah Heim C | TEX

    Rangers' Jonah Heim: Goes deep in Tuesday's loss

    Heim went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics.

    Heim tied the game up in the top of the eighth with a solo home run off Scott Alexander for his first long ball since Aug. 31. Heim does have seven hits over his last six games but is hitting just .173 since the All-Star break. It's been a down year offensively for the 29-year-old, who's now slashing .218/.265/.333 with 13 homers, 57 RBI, 43 runs, a steal and a 25:85 BB:K in 475 plate appearances.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Sitting out Tuesday

    Wong is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Toronto, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Extends hot streak Sunday

    Langeliers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run in a loss to the Yankees on Sunday.

    Langeliers extended his hitting streak to five games with Sunday's single, a stretch during which he's hitting .412 (7-for-17) with a double, two home runs, four RBI, three walks and three runs. The slugging backstop has already set career highs in total extra-base hits (47), home runs (28), RBI (75), walks (38) and runs (55), and he's even established a new personal best in stolen bases (four) for good measure.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Three straight multi-hit games

    Diaz went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and one run scored Sunday against the Angels.

    Diaz started at first base for the second time in three games, with Jonathan Singleton being bumped from the lineup. He recorded his third consecutive multi-hit performance, highlighted by a clutch double in the eighth inning that tied the game at 5-5. This stretch continues a strong close to the season for Diaz, as he has maintained a .325 average with 10 RBI and 10 runs scored across 20 games in September.
