  • Edgar Quero C | CHW

    White Sox's Edgar Quero: Idle Sunday

    Quero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Quero will get a breather after he had started at either catcher or designated hitter in each of the last four contests. Kyle Teel will be behind the dish Sunday, while Andrew Benintendi serves as Chicago's DH.

  • Henry Davis RF | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Taking seat Sunday

    Davis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    The 25-year-old backstop had started behind the plate in four of the previous six games, but he'll cede catching duties to Joey Bart in the series finale. Davis hasn't provided much to get excited about for fantasy purposes lately, slashing .145/.203/.274 since Aug. 1 with two home runs, one stolen base, seven RBI and six runs in 21 games.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Receiving breather Sunday

    Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Realmuto started the previous seven games and will receive Sunday off, which will put his modest four-game hit streak on hold, barring an appearance off the bench. Rafael Marchan is stepping in behind the plate for the series finale in Miami.

  • Orioles' Samuel Basallo: Sitting Sunday

    Basallo (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    The 20-year-old departed Saturday's game after taking a foul tip off his right hand. X-rays on his hand came back negative, so it appears Basallo won't miss extended time. Alex Jackson will step in behind the dish Sunday.

  • Ryan Jeffers C | MIN

    Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Goes on IL with concussion

    The Twins placed Jeffers on the 7-day injured list Sunday with a concussion.

    Jeffers took a foul tip off the mask Thursday and had been held out of the lineup for Minnesota's ensuing two games. With the backstop now having been diagnosed with a concussion, he won't be eligible to rejoin the Twins until next Friday. Mickey Gasper and Jhonny Pereda will serve as the Twins' options behind the plate while both Jeffers and Christian Vazquez (shoulder) are on the shelf.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Knocks in three

    Diaz went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Rangers.

    Diaz delivered an RBI double in the sixth inning and followed that up with a single that plated two in the eighth frame. This marked his first multi-hit effort in his last eight starts, though he has managed four extra-base hits in that span (all doubles). Diaz has also come through with timely hits lately, producing 15 RBI across his last 29 starts.

  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Could be available Sunday

    Smith (hand) could be available off the bench for Sunday's game against the Orioles, MLB.com reports.

    Smith has been left out of the lineup for each of the last three games while he's dealt with a right hand contusion, but the Dodgers have chosen not to place him on the injured list after an X-ray and CT scan came back clean. The injury may be something that Smith has to manage for the rest of the season, though he seems to have made at least a little progress. Ben Rortvedt will draw the start behind the plate in Sunday's series finale, but Smith could be called upon to make a pinch-hit appearance at some point during the contest.

  • Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Gets aboard four times in big win

    Langeliers went 3-for-6 with a double, a walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 17-4 win over the Angels.

    Langeliers was productive out of the leadoff spot and has hit safely in all four of his games in September so far. He's gone 6-for-18 with three walks and four strikeouts to begin the month. His steal Saturday was his first since July 30 versus the Mariners. Overall, the catcher is batting .264 with an .846 OPS, 29 home runs, 67 RBI, 63 runs scored, 26 doubles and six steals over 108 contests.

  • Hunter Goodman RF | COL

    Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Homers again in loss

    Goodman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 10-8 loss to the Padres.

    Goodman's blast came in the sixth inning, and while the Rockies made a comeback push, they fell short. Compared to recent contests, this was a quiet one for Goodman, but he's still 10-for-21 (.476) with three homers and 10 RBI over five games to begin September. The catcher has 29 long balls, 86 RBI, 67 runs scored, 25 doubles, four triples and a stolen base while maintaining an .871 OPS across 125 contests this year.

  • Royals' Salvador Perez: Hits 25th homer in rout

    Perez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Twins.

    Perez gave the Royals an early 4-0 lead with a 415-foot blast in the first inning before adding a single in the second. The veteran backstop has now homered in three of his past nine games, though he's gone just 6-for-33 during that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .240/.283/.447 with 25 home runs, 81 RBI and 48 runs scored across 557 plate appearances.
