  • Blue Jays' George Springer: Stays locked in during comeback win

    Springer went 2-for-4 with two walks, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Reds.

    It was another dazzling performance from the 35-year-old, who has been one of the hottest hitters in the majors since returning from a concussion Aug. 16. Springer has seven multi-hit efforts in his last 11 games, slashing an eye-popping .432/.528/.886 over that stretch with six homers, 10 RBI and 18 runs, and the surge has carried him to a .956 OPS on the season -- third in MLB behind MVP contenders Aaron Judge (1.106) and Shohei Ohtani (.998).

  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Sets career high with five hits

    Diaz went 5-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Mariners.

    The veteran infielder set a new career high with five hits, continuing a scorching run at the plate, as the 34-year-old has gone 28-for-70 (.400) since Aug 11. Wednesday's career-best effort also helped boost Diaz's season slash line to .294/.353/.479 with 22 home runs, 76 RBI and 68 runs scored across 569 plate appearances, as he closes in on career high totals in both homers and RBI.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Scores twice in win

    Keith went 2-for-2 with a walk and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Mets.

    Keith batted leadoff against New York righty Clay Holmes and continued to excel in those matchups, as he's now batting .271 with a .796 OPS against righties this season. The 23-year-old was mired in a bit of a slump before Wednesday, having gone just 2-for-23 in his previous six games, but his spot at the top of Detroit's lineup most days gives him plenty of fantasy upside moving forward.

  • Blue Jays' Anthony Santander: Should begin rehab stint next week

    Santander (shoulder) will continue his workout program with the Blue Jays this weekend in New York and could begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The veteran outfielder has been sidelined over three months while recovering from a dislocated shoulder, but he's in the final stages of his rehab program. Santander will need at least five games in the minors to get back up to speed, which means that the earliest he'll be able to rejoin the Blue Jays will be Sept. 14 versus the Orioles.

  • Mike Trout CF | LAA

    Angels' Mike Trout: Remains out Wednesday

    Trout (skin infection) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Kansas City, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Trout was a late scratch from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's 5-1 win as he deals with a skin infection, and he'll now miss a second straight start. Taylor Ward (forehead) will return from the two-game absence to start Wednesday and will fill in for Trout at designated hitter.

  • David Fry C | CLE

    Guardians' David Fry: Homers versus Crochet

    Fry went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox.

    Fry collected his first hit since Aug. 14 with a two-run blast off Garrett Crochet in the sixth inning. It's been a struggle for Fry when in the lineup. He has just five hits in 40 at-bats since the beginning of August and is hitting .159 overall for the season. Fry posted an .804 OPS in 122 games for the Guardians in 2024 but just has not been able to get going following elbow surgery in the offseason.

  • Blue Jays' George Springer: Two more homers Tuesday

    Springer went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 12-9 win over the Reds.

    The veteran outfielder led off the game with a solo shot off Scott Barlow, and then muscled a Brent Suter fastball over the center-field fence for a two-run blast in the fourth. It's the second two-homer performance from Springer in his last seven games, and since returning from a concussion Aug. 16 he's been on an absolute tear, slashing .381/.466/.794 over 16 contests with eight home runs, four steals, 14 RBI and 21 runs. With 23 games left on Toronto's schedule, Springer needs four more long balls to reach 30 for the third time in his career, and four stolen bases to tie his career high of 20.

  • Bryan Ramos 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Knocks in two in first start

    Ramos went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI on Tuesday against the Twins.

    Ramos was recalled when rosters expanded Monday and was in the big-league lineup for the first time in 2025 on Tuesday. He struck out three times but also delivered a two-RBI double in the fifth inning. Ramos figures to be primarily a bench bat, but he could get mixed in against right-handed starters while Miguel Vargas (wrist) is sidelined.

  • Yandy Diaz 1B | TB

    Rays' Yandy Diaz: Scores twice Tuesday

    Diaz went 1-for-2 with two walks and two runs scored Tuesday against the Mariners.

    Diaz reached base on a walk in both the first and seventh innings while coming around to score on each occasion. He's reached base multiple times in 15 of his last 25 starts dating back to Aug. 1. In that span, he's hit .302 with four home runs, 14 RBI and 14 runs scored while maintaining an .856 OPS.

  • Jorge Polanco 2B | NYM

    Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Reaches in all four PA

    Polanco went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Rays.

    Polanco walked twice in addition to his pair of hits, reaching base in each of his plate appearances Tuesday. A fourth-inning solo home run off Drew Rasmussen marked Polanco's third long ball in five games and his fifth round tripper in his last 11 games. The 32-year-old is slashing .254/.319/.472 in 2025.
