Pederson went 1-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Athletics.

Pederson smacked a seventh-inning double to extend a hit streak to eight games, easily his best stretch of a trying season. He's gone 10-for-33 with five extra-base hits, nine RBI and six runs scored during the streak. The Rangers are finally getting what they paid for when they signed Pederson to a one-year, $18.5 million contract this past winter with a player option for 2026 -- he's slashing .277/.338/.554 with five home runs and 12 RBI over 23 contests in August.

Larnach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

The Padres are having right-hander David Morgan open the contest, but since lefty Kyle Hart is projected to work in bulk relief, Larnach will take a seat. His absence will open up the DH spot for Byron Buxton.

Manzardo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday in a 4-3 win against Seattle.

Manzardo's sixth-inning long ball gave Cleveland a 3-0 lead and proved critical in a one-run game. It also marked the second straight contest in which the slugger has gone deep following a 13-game homer drought. Manzardo is up to 23 home runs and 60 RBI on the season while slashing .235/.316/.464 over 431 plate appearances.

Rooker went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 9-3 loss to the Rangers.

Rooker has gone 7-for-14 with four extra-base hits over his last four games. The designated hitter has added four RBI in that span. While he hasn't had a longer hit streak during August, he's also been able to keep his slumps short. The 30-year-old is up to 27 homers, 78 RBI, 86 runs scored, five stolen bases, 34 doubles, three triples and a .273/.345/.500 slash line across 137 games this season.

Stanton isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

Stanton will receive a day off Saturday after going 0-for-7 with a run scored and three strikeouts over the first two games of the series. It will instead be Jasson Dominguez, Trent Grisham and Cody Bellinger in the outfield for New York, with Aaron Judge working as the DH.

Manzardo went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.

Manzardo's sixth-inning blast aroused a dormant Guardians' offense, which scored runs in the final four innings to pull out a victory over the team they are chasing for a wild-card spot. The blast was Manzardo's 22nd of the season and snapped a 13-game drought without going deep. He batted just .136 (6-for-44) during that stretch.

Polanco went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Guardians.

Polanco staked the Mariners to a 4-0 lead with a two-run homer in the first inning. The 32-year-old has now hit safely in each of his past seven starts, posting five extra-base hits, seven RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base during that stretch. On the season, he's slashing .255/.318/.465 with 21 homers, 61 RBI, 50 runs scored and six steals across 423 plate appearances.

Santander (shoulder) will travel with the Blue Jays to Cincinnati early next week and should begin a rehab assignment after that, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Santander has been running, taking batting practice and hitting off a high-velocity pitching machine and is close to being cleared for game action. The switch hitter has been on the shelf with a subluxation of his left shoulder since late May. Santander could return to the Blue Jays' active roster by mid-September if all goes well.

Jimenez agreed to a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays on Friday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Jimenez slashed .278/.335/.397 with three home runs in 167 plate appearances with Triple-A Durham in the Rays organization before being released in July. He will give the Blue Jays some experienced depth at Triple-A Buffalo in the corner outfield and at designated hitter.

Alvarez is out of the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Rockies, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Alvarez started in both of the past two days upon his return from the 60-day injured list, but he will get a breather for Thursday's matinee. Jose Altuve will occupy the designated-hitter spot and Mauricio Dubon will cover left field in the rubber match.
