  • Mets' Daniel Vogelbach: Smacks two hits, including homer

    Vogelbach went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a 5-3 loss to Atlanta on Sunday.

    Vogelbach got New York on the board with a solo home run in the second inning and added an RBI single in the third before being pulled for pinch-hitter Francisco Alvarez in the fifth. The long ball was just the second for the 29-year-old since Aug. 22 as he's been patient at the dish with 15 walks and 15 hits during the 26-game stretch. Vogelbach is slashing .239/.361/.439 with 18 home runs, 45 runs and 59 RBI in 127 games.

  • Jesse Winker DH | NYM

    Mariners' Jesse Winker: Prevents shutout Sunday

    Winker went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Athletics.

    It took until the ninth inning, but Winker helped the Mariners avoid a shutout with his three-run blast. It was his first extra-base hit in 15 games, and his first homer since Aug. 17, as the outfielder has endured a rough second half of the campaign. The extended slump has dropped his slash line to .219/.344/.344 with 14 homers, 53 RBI, 51 runs scored and 15 doubles through 136 contests. On the bright side, he's hit safely in four of his last five games.

His two hits on the day marked his first multi-hit game since Sept. 7, a stretch in which he was slashing .133/.235/.150 entering Sunday. Despite being known for his prodigious power, he has not left the yard since Aug. 31.

    White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Steps out of lineup

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

  • Cubs' Christopher Morel: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Morel is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

  • Matt Carpenter DH | STL

    Yankees' Matt Carpenter: Won't return in regular season

    Carpenter (foot) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Sunday, meaning he won't be activated before the end of the regular season.

    He could still possibly return in the postseason if the Yankees make a deep run. Carpenter could get at-bats in Somerset in the meantime, though he is still walking around with a limp, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Stanton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Slugs 29th homer

    Stanton went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's victory over the Orioles.

    Stanton crushed a 447-foot homer to left field with two outs in the first inning to extend the Yankees' early lead and later added a single in the fifth. The outfielder had gone hitless in his last three games while striking out nine times over that span. Stanton will now look to build off the two-hit effort after hitting just .143 in September.

  • Joey Meneses 1B | ATH

    Nationals' Joey Meneses: Homers, drives in four

    Meneses went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and four RBI in a 13-4 win over the Phillies in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. He also scored four runs and drew a walk.

    Meneses had himself a day at the plate on Saturday, beginning with a three-run double with two outs in the second inning to put the Nationals up 4-1. He followed that up with a homer to lead off the fifth - his seventh long ball since the start of September, to go along with 22 RBI and 17 runs scored. It was also the rookie first baseman's 11th multi-hit game in that 27-game span.
