  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Makes second start since promotion

    Aranda went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Twins.

    Aranda was in the lineup at first base and made his second start in five games since being recalled. So long as the Rays' infield remains healthy, it appears that Aranda will struggle to get consistent playing time. He's gone 2-for-10 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored since being recalled.

  • Kyle Manzardo DH | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Three-hit effort in win

    Manzardo went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Royals.

    Manzardo has multiple hits in two of three games since he rejoined the big-league roster. He's gone 5-for-10 with two home runs in that span. The 24-year-old is slashing .239/.276/.424 with two homers, nine RBI, six runs scored, 11 doubles and no stolen bases over 98 plate appearances. He's started three straight games at designated hitter since his recall and looks to be cutting into Will Brennan's playing time, though the right-handed-hitting Jhonkensy Noel could be the one to lose out more often versus right-handed pitchers in the long run.

  • Trevor Larnach DH | MIN

    Twins' Trevor Larnach: Sitting against lefty

    Larnach is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

    It's lefty Jeffrey Springs on the hill for Tampa Bay, so the left-handed hitting Larnach will begin the festivities on the bench even after he cranked a three-run homer in Monday's win over the Rays. Austin Martin will be in left field.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Slugs 25th homer

    Stanton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-4 win against the Rangers on Monday.

    Stanton drilled a 418-foot solo shot to center field in the eighth inning. The slugger has gone deep in each of his first two games in September and has knocked in five runs across his past three contests. Stanton's 25 homers and 62 RBI in 2024 are each more than he posted last season, and he's improved his slash line considerably to .244/.303/.503 through 383 plate appearances.

  • Trevor Larnach DH | MIN

    Twins' Trevor Larnach: Smacks three-run homer in win

    Larnach went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-4 win over the Rays.

    Larnach gave the Twins a lead they wouldn't relinquish on a three-run blast in the second inning. Over his past 10 games, the 27-year-old has gone hitless six times but has also notched three multi-hit efforts with three long balls and 11 RBI. On the year, he is hitting .254 with 15 home runs, 48 RBI, 47 runs scored and four steals across 331 plate appearances.

  • Kyle Manzardo DH | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Another start at designated hitter

    Manzardo will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Monday's game versus the Royals.

    Manzardo earned a second straight start after cranking his first two major-league home runs in Sunday's victory over the Pirates. The path is there for the 24-year-old to pick up regular playing time for the Guardians down the stretch, but he'll have to perform. Manzardo slashed just .207/.241/.329 with a 26.4 percent strikeout rate over 30 games in his first stint in the majors.

  • Eloy Jimenez DH | TB

    Orioles' Eloy Jimenez: Heading to bench Monday

    Jimenez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

    Following Ryan Mountcastle's (wrist) move to the injured list a week ago, Jimenez has moved into a near-everyday role for the Orioles, starting in seven of the last eight games. According to Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, Anthony Santander may not be moving around at full speed after tripping while rounding first base in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Rockies, so he'll get a day out of the outfield and will serve as the designated hitter Monday, which leaves no room in the lineup for Jimenez. Assuming Santander is cleared to play the outfield later on in the series, Jimenez should reclaim a spot in the starting nine in short order.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Notches 24th homer

    Stanton went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in a loss to the Cardinals on Saturday.

    Stanton hit the Yankees' only long ball in the contest, belting a solo shot to left field in the second inning. The slugger reached three times overall in the defeat, marking a fine start to September after he slashed .224/.286/.487 with five home runs and 15 RBI across 21 games in August. Each of Stanton's past four hits -- three doubles and a homer -- have gone for extra bases.

  • Yordan Alvarez DH | HOU

    Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Another multi-homer game

    Alvarez went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs Sunday against the Royals.

    Alvarez tallied multiple home runs for the second time in five games, bringing his total on the season to 30. His power has lagged for much of the campaign, but the recent surge has his ISO up to .257 along with a .571 slugging percentage through 128 games.

  • Justin Foscue 2B | TEX

    Rangers' Justin Foscue: Starts at first base

    Foscue started at first base and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over Oakland.

    While the Rangers have not yet been eliminated from the postseason, the club faces a long haul -- 9.5 games back of the third wild-card spot -- over the final month. That suggests opportunities for prospects like Foscue, who could get some run at first base ahead of Nathaniel Lowe, whose contract expires this offseason.
