  • 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.

  • Giants' Wilmer Flores: Blasts two-run shot Tuesday

    Flores went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 7-4 win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

    The homer was Flores' 15th of the year, and he now has one hit in four of his past five outings. The veteran slugger had 46 RBI through May 31, but he's cooled down dramatically ever since. Over his last 201 plate appearances (55 games), Flores is slashing a frigid .230/.303/.343 with five homers, five doubles and 20 RBI since the start of June.

  • Ivan Herrera C | STL

    Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Smacks two-run homer in victory

    Herrera went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Athletics.

    That's now two homers in as many days to open the month of September for Herrera, who has three long balls in his past five outings. The 25-year-old backstop also has an active eight-game hitting streak, during which he's batting .375 with six RBI and five runs scored. Herrera's OPS sits at a career-best .818 for the campaign as well.

  • Mike Trout CF | LAA

    Angels' Mike Trout: Scratched Tuesday

    Trout was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Royals due to a skin infection.

    Trout's infection will prevent him from starting Tuesday, and it's currently unclear if his absence will extend further into the Angels' series against Kansas City. Jo Adell will fill in as the Halos' designated hitter while Trout sits, opening up right field for Chris Taylor.

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | PIT

    Padres' Ryan O'Hearn: Riding pine Tuesday

    O'Hearn isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Baltimore, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    O'Hearn will get a day to rest Tuesday after going 11-for-40 (.275) with an RBI and five runs scored across his last 10 contests. His absence will allow Gavin Sheets to serve as San Diego's designated hitter while batting fourth.

  • Jesse Winker DH | NYM

    Mets' Jesse Winker: Likely out for season

    Manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Winker has been shut down from all activities and will likely miss the remainder of the season, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Winker has been on the injured list since mid-July due to back inflammation. He was given the green light to begin a rehab assignment last Wednesday but was shut down after going 0-for-5 with four strikeouts in two games with Single-A St. Lucie. With time running out for the 32-year-old to return to Queens this year, it now appears that he'll shift his focus to getting ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. Winker is due to hit free agency this winter.

  • Yordan Alvarez DH | HOU

    Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Getting breather Tuesday

    Alvarez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    It's the second day off Alvarez has received since he returned from the 60-day injured list a week ago, as the Astros don't want to overload him following a long absence. Yainer Diaz is in the designated hitter spot and Jose Altuve is playing left field Tuesday.

  • Jared Young 1B | NYM

    Mets' Jared Young: Back up with big club

    The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

    Young has posted a .964 OPS with 15 home runs in 66 games with Syracuse this season. He's managed three more long balls in 45 plate appearances with the Mets, though he's slashing only .171/.222/.415 with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate. Young is likely to be used mostly in a pinch-hitting role.
