Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Rests for second game of twin bill
Jeffers is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Red Sox.

Guardians' Bo Naylor: Takes seat Sunday

Dillon Dingler C | DET
Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Triples, drives in two Saturday
Dingler went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple and two RBI in Saturday's 6-4, 10-inning win over the Orioles.
Dingler snapped an 0-for-9 slump that spanned his last three appearances and recorded the second triple of his rookie season. The 25-year-old catcher has mostly struggled in his debut campaign, slashing .143/.175/.286 across 24 games, but he still should figure into Detroit's future plans behind the plate.

Cal Raleigh C | SEA
Mariners' Cal Raleigh: On base three times Saturday
Raleigh went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a walk in a win over the Rangers on Saturday.
Raleigh authored one of five multi-hit efforts on the night for the Mariners while achieving the feat for the sixth time in September. The 27-year-old backstop has already reached the 30-home-run threshold for the second straight season despite currently being mired in a nine-game power drought, and he's carrying a .265 average and .829 OPS across 18 games thus far in September as the Mariners continue pushing for a wild-card spot.

Logan O'Hoppe C | LAA
Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Swats 20th long ball
O'Hoppe went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, two doubles and two total runs in Saturday's loss to the Astros.
Though the Angels were blown out, O'Hoppe had an impressive effort at the plate, recording his third game of at least four hits this season. This was the first time he's posted three extra-base knocks in a contest, and among his hits was a solo shot in the fourth inning that marked his 20th homer of the campaign. Among catchers, only Cal Raleigh, Shea Langeliers, Salvador Perez and William Contreras have hit more home runs than O'Hoppe this season.

Victor Caratini C | HOU
Astros' Victor Caratini: Drives in three runs Saturday
Caratini went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a walk against the Angels in Saturday's 10-4 victory.
Caratini blew the game open for Houston in the third inning, belting a three-run shot off Angels starter Reid Detmers to increase the Astros' lead to 6-1. It was the third straight start for Caratini, who played first base Saturday after serving as Houston's catcher Thursday and Friday. Caratini is batting .289 (13-for-45) with five RBI through 15 games in September.
