  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Walls is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Walls started Friday and Saturday and will sit for Sunday's series finale after going 1-for-7 with three strikeouts. Jose Caballero is starting at shortstop and batting seventh.

  • Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Returns to lineup

    Jimenez (finger) is starting at second base and batting seventh against St. Louis on Sunday.

    Jiminez was set to return from a two-game absence due to a foot injury Saturday, but he was a late scratch due to a finger injury. He appears to be over both issues and will be in action for the series finale. Since Aug. 1, Jiminez is slashing .247/.381/.471 with four home runs, 14 RBI and a 30.5 percent strikeout rate across 105 plate appearances.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Two hits, stolen base in win

    Pena went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's win over the Angels.

    Pena posted hits in two of his first three at-bats while also stealing second and coming around to score a run over that stretch. It marked the shortstop's second straight two-hit performance and the fifth in his last nine games. Over that span he's batting .282 (11-for-39) with one homer, three RBI and three runs scored. The stolen base was his 17th of the season and his second this month.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Twins' Carlos Correa: On bench Sunday

    Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    The veteran shortstop went 1-for-2 with a double Saturday in his return from a two-month absence due to plantar fasciitis, and he'll head to the bench Sunday for the early afternoon series finale. Correa didn't play in any rehab games prior to being reinstated from the injured list, so it won't be surprising if the Twins continue to get him regular rest days as he gets back up to speed.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Logs three hits in win

    Story went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Yankees.

    Story, who hit .167 over his first five games since returning from a shoulder injury, may be getting his timing down against MLB pitching. This was his second straight multi-hit effort, and he's gone 5-for-8 including a home run in that span.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Belts 37th home run

    Henderson went 2-for-3 with a homer, two RBI, two runs and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Tigers.

    Henderson went deep Saturday, his 37th home run, which tied Marcell Ozuna for the fifth most in MLB in the process. Henderson is on pace for 40 homers this season, which would make him the fifth shortstop in history with 40 or more in a season. Henderson also had a double against the Tigers, and he now has 72 extra-base hits this season, which is the fifth most by an Orioles shortstop in a single season in franchise history.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Tops 100 RBI for first time

    Witt went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Pirates.

    His first-inning solo shot off Mitch Keller gave Witt his first career 100-RBI campaign, but he didn't rest on his laurels. The 24-year-old has put together an MVP-caliber season, slashing .333/.385/.599 with 31 homers, 28 steals, 102 RBI and 121 runs -- aside from the stolen bases, all those numbers represent career highs for Witt.

  • Jacob Amaya SS | CHW

    White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Out of Saturday's lineup

    Amaya is not in Saturday's lineup against the Athletics.

    Amaya has started 12 of the White Sox's last 13 games at shortstop since being recalled Aug. 30. He's hit .257 with two RBI and two runs scored in that span. Nicky Lopez will take over at shortstop in Amaya's place.

  • Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Scratched from lineup

    Jimenez was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals due to a right index finger contusion, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Jimenez was set to return from a two-game absence caused by foot soreness. He's now dealing with a new injury, and it's unclear how long he will be sidelined.

  • Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Returns to lineup

    Jimenez (foot) will start at shortstop and bat eighth Saturday versus the Cardinals.

    Foot soreness prevented Jimenez from starting the Jays' last two contests, though he was able to appear as a pinch hitter Friday. Now back in the starting nine, he'll look to turn things around at the plate after starting the month 3-for-16 across eight games.
