  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Cracks 29th homer in win

    Devers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Monday's 8-2 win over the Rockies.

    Devers launched a solo shot off right-hander Chase Dollander in the first inning and drew a walk in the fifth before coming around to score. The 28-year-old has been on fire recently, going 12-for-23 with 11 runs scored, 10 RBI, four home runs and two doubles in 28 plate appearances over his last six outings. He's up to 29 long balls this season, slashing .264/.383/.490 with 94 RBI, 83 runs scored and a stolen base across 622 plate appearances in 139 games between San Francisco and Boston.

  • Jahmai Jones 2B | DET

    Tigers' Jahmai Jones: Goes deep in four-hit game

    Jones went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, two RBI and two total runs scored in Monday's 10-8 loss to the Mets.

    Batting first against New York southpaw Sean Manaea, Jones continued to torment left-handed pitching with his first career four-hit game. The 28-year-old now has a .913 OPS against lefties this year, and he's hit all five of his home runs in those matchups, including one to lead off the contest Monday. Jones doesn't typically play against righties, which limits his fantasy upside, but he's worth using when he has the platoon advantage.

  • Marcell Ozuna DH | ATL

    Braves' Marcell Ozuna: Sitting out third straight

    Ozuna is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Cubs.

    Ozuna will take a seat for the third straight game and for the fourth time over the past six contests. Jurickson Profar will serve as Atlanta's designated hitter, and Jake Fraley will play left field while Ozuna is on the bench. Atlanta could continue to rotate multiple players in at DH down the stretch, resulting in unsteady playing time for Ozuna.

  • Bryan Ramos 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Moves up from Triple-A

    The White Sox recalled Ramos from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

    The 23-year-old third baseman got his first taste of the big leagues last season, appearing in 32 games with Chicago and slashing .202/.252/.333 with three home runs, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored and a 7:22 BB:K across 108 plate appearances. He's spent the entire 2025 season at Triple-A, producing a .218/.317/.391 slash line with 14 home runs and 13 stolen bases over 392 trips to the plate. Ramos is unlikely to be in line for regular playing time with the White Sox in September, at least not right away.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Out of lineup versus lefty

    Yoshida is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

    Yoshida had started in all three of the Red Sox's games versus Pittsburgh over the weekend and went 2-for-10 with two walks and one run, but he'll head to the bench Monday while the Guardians send lefty Parker Messick to the hill. Rob Refsnyder will replace Yoshida in the lineup at designated hitter.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Sitting against southpaw

    Keith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    After starting in each of the Tigers' last six games, the left-handed-hitting Keith will retreat to the bench while the Mets send southpaw Sean Manaea to the hill for the series opener. Keith is slashing just .143/.200/.167 over 45 plate appearances versus lefties this season.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Finishes month on sour note

    Yoshida served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 5-2 win over Pittsburgh.

    Yoshida ended August on a down note. Over the final 12 games of the month, he had a .412 OPS with one extra-base hit and zero RBI. He's now batting just .224 with a .609 OPS and two home runs since his return to Boston in early July. It's fair to wonder how long Yoshida's leash is at DH given the limited impact his bat has made. Once Wilyer Abreu (calf) is ready to come off the IL, Yoshida's playing time should take a hit.

  • Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: First start in four games

    Del Castillo started at catcher and went 2-for-3 with an RBI in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.

    Del Castillo was back in the starting nine after three straight games on the bench. With James McCann tending to a sore back, Del Castillo moves up the ladder to primary backup behind Gabriel Moreno. This was Del Castillo's fourth start behind the plate since being called up after the All-Star break.

  • Joc Pederson DH | TEX

    Rangers' Joc Pederson: Goes yard again

    Pederson went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an RBI double during Sunday's 9-6 win over the Athletics.

    The 33-year-old tagged J.T. Ginn for a two-run homer in the first inning, marking Pederson's fourth home run in his last 38 plate appearances spanning nine games. He had gone yard just four times in 195 plate appearances before the stretch. In those nine games, Pederson is 12-for-38 (.316) with 12 RBI and three doubles.

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Supplies early offense in win

    Devers went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Sunday's 13-2 win over the Orioles.

    Devers knocked in the Giants' first two runs in the romp, hitting a solo shot in the first inning before adding an RBI single in the third. He closed out August in good form, hitting five homers and supplying 12 RBI over his last 13 games of the month. He's now at a .262/.381/.484 slash line with 28 homers, 93 RBI, 81 runs scored, one stolen base and 30 doubles across 138 contests between San Francisco and Boston this year.
