  • Jahmai Jones 2B | DET

    Tigers' Jahmai Jones: Tallies three hits in loss

    Jones went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta.

    The Detroit outfielder got the start with Atlanta sending Joey Wentz to the mound, and as he often does, Jones delivered against a southpaw. He's sporting a .935 OPS with six home runs in 94 at-bats against opposite-handed pitching this season. His platoon role limits his fantasy ceiling, but Jones remains a good daily option versus lefties.

    Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Will prep as catcher this offseason

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Saturday that Herrera will prepare exclusively as a catcher this offseason, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Herrera last saw action at catcher June 19, as he's been used as a full-time designated hitter since rejoining the Cardinals on July 13 following a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring strain. The move to the DH-only role was made in order to help keep Herrera healthy, but it was also due to his defensive shortcomings. Per Jim Hayes of FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, Herrera will undergo elbow surgery this offseason to correct an issue that's prevented him from getting his arm in the proper position to make throws to second base. In addition to recovering from surgery, Herrera will focus on improving his game calling. Marmol noted that Herrera's chances of sticking at catcher will "play out" during spring training, but the team is heading into the offseason expecting him to factor into the picture behind the plate. Herrera will likely finish 2025 with 14 games played (13 starts) at catcher, so he won't have eligibility at the position in most fantasy leagues entering next season. However, he should have a good chance to regain that eligibility early on in 2026.

  • George Valera CF | CLE

    Guardians' George Valera: Pops first career homer

    Valera went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Twins.

    Getting the start in right field and hitting seventh, Valera took Joe Ryan deep in the second inning, one of four Cleveland long balls off the right-hander in a 6-0 victory. It was Valera's first career big-league homer, and through his first 10 MLB games he's batting .269 (7-for-26) with two doubles, three runs, three RBI and a 4:9 BB:K.

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Launches homer in loss

    Devers went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Dodgers.

    The Giants couldn't hold a 4-0 lead from the first inning, and Devers' blast in the seventh wasn't enough to forge a comeback. The infielder had gone just 5-for-47 (.106) over 13 games between long balls. Through 156 games between the Red Sox and San Francisco this season, he's at a .251/.370/.469 slash line with 32 homers, 105 RBI, 94 runs scored, 31 doubles and one stolen base.

  • Shohei Ohtani DH | LAD

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Hot stretch continues

    Ohtani went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs scored in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Giants.

    Ohtani's power is surging again, just as the Dodgers look to secure the NL West title. He's homered four times over his last five games and is up to 53 long balls on the year. The two-way superstar has added a .283/.395/.623 slash line, 99 RBI, 141 runs scored, 19 stolen bases, 24 doubles and eight triples over 152 contests. Ohtani is one homer away from matching his career high from last year, and he's one RBI away from securing his third season of at least 100.

  • Mike Trout CF | LAA

    Angels' Mike Trout: Hits 400th career homer

    Trout went 1-for-2 with a walk in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Rockies.

    The homer was the 400th of Trout's career. He hasn't hit for a lot of power lately, supplying just three homers and six doubles over 42 contests since the start of August. For the season, the 34-year-old has 22 long balls, 59 RBI, 67 runs scored and two stolen bases over 124 contests.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Hits three-run homer in win

    Stanton went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Orioles.

    Stanton opened the scoring with a three-run blast off Tomoyuki Sugano in the first inning. While the 35-year-old has gone just 10-for-55 with 28 strikeouts in September, he has still managed four homers and 10 RBI in that span. For the season, he's slashing .268/.341/.575 with 21 home runs, 56 RBI and 33 runs scored across 256 plate appearances.

  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Suzuki isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Reds.

    Suzuki has gone 1-for-8 with two walks and an HBP since returning from an illness, and the Cubs will now give him a day to reset. Willi Castro will start in right field Saturday while Moises Ballesteros serves as the DH.

  • Blue Jays' George Springer: Reaches 30 homers

    Springer went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Royals.

    The veteran outfielder led off the game with his 30th homer of the year, but it was the only bright spot for the Blue Jays in an ugly 20-1 rout. It's the first time Springer has reached the 30-HR plateau since 2019, and his 101 runs on the season represent the first time he's hit triple digits in that category since 2018. He's finishing out the 2025 regular season on a high note, slashing .328/.416/.642 over 17 games in September with six home runs, 11 RBI and 17 runs.

  • Marcell Ozuna DH | ATL

    Braves' Marcell Ozuna: Resting Saturday

    Ozuna isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Detroit.

    Ozuna will retreat to the dugout Saturday after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's series opener. Drake Baldwin will replace him as Atlanta's designated hitter, allowing Sandy Leon to start at catcher.
