  • Eloy Jimenez DH | TOR

    White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Power surge continues

    Jimenez went 2-for-4 with a home run, double and two RBI in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Tigers.

    Jimenez is wrapping up his rookie campaign with a flourish, as the 20-year-old is batting .388 with eight home runs and 25 RBI in his last 23 games. His long ball Sunday was his 30th of the season and places him behind only the Mets' Pete Alonso (50) for tops among all rookies.

  • J.D. Martinez DH | NYM

    Red Sox's J.D. Martinez: Bangs out three hits

    Martinez went 3-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and two runs Sunday in the Red Sox's 7-4 win over the Rays.

    After missing three games with a groin injury, Martinez returned to the lineup for the final two contests of the weekend and didn't take long to begin raking again. While Martinez hasn't reported any setbacks with the groin coming out of either of his back-to-back starts, the Red Sox may choose to exercise caution with his usage anyway over the season's final week with the team already eliminated from postseason contention.

  • Franmil Reyes DH | WAS

    Indians' Franmil Reyes: Goes deep in victory

    Reyes went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

    Reyes capped the scoring for the Indians with a round tripper to right field in the seventh inning. The home run was his second in four games since returning from a two-game absence Thursday. The 24-year-old is slashing .243/.307/.505 with 36 homers and 79 RBI in 145 games between San Diego and Cleveland this season.

  • Yordan Alvarez DH | HOU

    Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Rakes four hits in win

    Alvarez went 4-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Sunday's 13-5 win over the Angels.

    It was Alvarez's second four-hit performance this month, but oddly enough, he somehow didn't drive in a run Sunday. Still, he boosted his season OPS to 1.103 with 52 extra-base hits and 77 RBI over 351 plate appearances.

  • Nick Solak 1B | PIT

    Rangers' Nick Solak: Hits bench amid skid

    Solak is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Solak drilled a home run in Saturday's 12-3 loss, but it was his only hit of the day and left him in a 3-for-23 skid over his past six contests. The Rangers will give the rookie a day to clear his head, allowing Ronald Guzman to crack the lineup in the series finale.

  • Mariners' Daniel Vogelbach: Dealing with neck issue

    Vogelbach is not in Sunday's lineup due to a sore neck, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

    The extent of the injury isn't known, though Vogelbach did exit Saturday's contest early. Tom Murphy is serving as the team's designated hitter Sunday in Vogelbach's absence.

  • Miguel Cabrera DH | DET

    Tigers' Miguel Cabrera: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Cabrera (knee) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Cabrera was scratched from Saturday's lineup with knee soreness and remains out Sunday. It remains unclear if Cabrera will return to assume his regular role prior to the close of the season, though it's safe to assume the team will take a cautious approach. Christin Stewart will handle the designated hitter duties in his place and bat fifth.

  • Mariners' Daniel Vogelbach: Not part of Sunday's lineup

    Vogelbach is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Vogelbach is hitting just .178 this month and .163 against lefties this season, so it doesn't come as much surprise he is being held out Sunday against Orioles starter John Means. Tom Murphy will serve as the Mariners' designated hitter.

  • Nick Solak 1B | PIT

    Rangers' Nick Solak: Swats fifth homer

    Solak went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 12-3 loss to the Athletics.

    Solak hit his third homer in his last nine games, an eighth-inning blast off reliever Ryan Buchter. The third baseman has started well in the majors, posting a .306/.409/.520 slash line with five homers, 16 RBI and 19 runs scored across 98 at-bats.

  • Mark Canha LF | TEX

    Athletics' Mark Canha: Scores thrice Saturday

    Canha went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, three runs scored and a walk in Saturday's 12-3 win over the Rangers.

    Canha was right in the middle of the Athletics' early rallies, scoring on a Ramon Laureano double in the first inning and a Sheldon Neuse single in the second. Canha topped it off with a solo shot in the fifth off Rangers reliever Shawn Kelley. Canha has homered in consecutive games, giving him 26 on the year to go with 59 RBI and 79 runs scored in 121 games.
