  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: RBI in three straight games

    Diaz went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

    Diaz has performed well in September, collecting at least one hit in five of his eight starts while also tallying four doubles. He's hit particularly well since the start of Houston's weekend series against the Rangers, going 5-for-14 with five RBI and a run scored in his last three starts.

  • Kyle Teel C | CHW

    White Sox's Kyle Teel: Power surge continues

    Teel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Rays.

    Teel opened up the scoring with a first-inning solo home run, his third home run over his last six games. He's been red hot in the second half and one of the most productive players at his position, slashing .313/.391/.515 with seven homers, 23 RBI, 22 runs, two steals and a 15:30 BB:K across 151 plate appearances.

  • Hunter Goodman RF | COL

    Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Clubs 30th homer

    Goodman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.

    Goodman struck out in his first three at-bats but made big contact in the ninth inning to take Kirby Yates deep for the Rockies' second run. This was Goodman's 30th homer of the year, four of which have come over seven games in September. The catcher has added a .282/.327/.540 slash line, 87 RBI, 68 runs scored, 25 doubles and a stolen base through 127 contests. His splits haven't been as extreme as some of his teammates -- Goodman has hit 17 of his homers in road games and has an .842 OPS on the road compared to an .888 OPS at home.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Homers again Tuesday

    Bailey went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Bailey's September surge continues -- he's hit three of his five homers on the year over the course of his last eight games. In that span, he's batting .346 (9-for-26). Bailey has added 32 points to his slugging percentage since closing at a low mark of .286 on Sept. 1, though he still has just a .594 OPS with 46 RBI, 40 runs scored and a stolen base across 119 contests in 2025.

  • Riley Adams C | WAS

    Nationals' Riley Adams: Exits early Tuesday

    Adams exited Tuesday's contest against the Marlins in the bottom of the second inning with an apparent groin injury, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

    Adams took a foul ball off of his inner groin in the second, ultimately requiring him to exit the game. The catcher went hitless in his only at-bat, and he was replaced behind the plate by Jorge Alfaro.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Taking seat Tuesday

    Moreno isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus San Francisco.

    After logging back-to-back multi-hit performances, Moreno will catch a breather Tuesday while James McCann catches for starter Zac Gallen and bats eighth.

  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Back in lineup

    Smith (hand) will start at catcher and bat fourth Tuesday against the Rockies.

    Smith missed five games after taking a pitch off his right hand last Wednesday, but he'll return behind the dish Tuesday and catch for starter Emmet Sheehan. Smith had gone 4-for-12 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in his previous five games before getting hurt.

  • Rangers' Kyle Higashioka: Out of Tuesday's lineup

    Higashioka is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Brewers.

    Higashioka had started the last two contests, including a start at designated hitter in Monday's series opener. However, Jonah Heim will draw his second straight start at catcher Tuesday.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Back in action Tuesday

    Basallo (hand) will start behind the plate Tuesday against the Pirates, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    The rookie backstop exited Saturday's contest after taking a foul tip on his right hand and was held out of the lineup Sunday after X-rays came back negative, but he's good to go Tuesday following Baltimore's team off day. Basallo has yet to find his footing at the plate through his first 16 big-league games and has a .204/.283/.389 slash line with two homers and nine RBI.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Slated for BP this weekend

    Rutschman (oblique) will take batting practice this weekend, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Rutschman began hitting off a tee this past Friday and will take another big step forward with his hitting progression this weekend. It's not clear whether the Orioles will ask him to go out on a rehab assignment, but either way he would seem to have a good shot to be activated from the 10-day injured list at some point next week. Rutschman has been shelved since mid-August with a right oblique strain.
