  • Max Schuemann 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Homer, three hits in win

    Schuemann went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

    Schuemann homered to give the Athletics a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning and fell a triple shy of the cycle in his first multi-hit game since Aug. 2. It was a much-needed boost for the 27-year-old, as he entered Tuesday in a 2-for-32 slump over his previous 10 games. On the season, he is hitting .233 with seven home runs, 30 RBI, 48 runs scored and 11 steals across 371 plate appearances.

  • Bo Bichette SS | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Works out at Fenway Park

    Bichette (calf) traveled with the Blue Jays on their road trip and was spotted fielding grounders at Fenway Park prior to Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Bichette will continue to work out with the team on its trip before eventually heading out on a rehab assignment. The shortstop's return to game action in the minors doesn't look to be imminent, however, so he realistically won't be ready to return from the 10-day injured list until at least mid-September. He's been shelved since late July with a moderate right calf strain.

  • Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Idle Tuesday

    Jimenez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    After making three consecutive starts -- and going 3-for-10 at the plate -- Jimenez will get the night off Tuesday. Will Wagner will play second base while Ernie Clement fills in at shortstop.

  • Tristan Gray SS | MIN

    Athletics' Tristan Gray: Claimed by Oakland

    The Athletics claimed Gray off waivers from the Marlins on Tuesday.

    Gray, 28, has spent the bulk of the 2024 season at Triple-A Jacksonville, slashing .240/.312/.454 with 17 home runs over 410 plate appearances. The infielder will report to Triple-A Las Vegas.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Reinstated from injured list

    The Athletics activated Wilson (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Reds.

    The 22-year-old suffered the hamstring strain during his major-league debut July 19, but he's ready to rejoin Oakland after gong 9-for-23 during a seven-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas. Wilson is the organization's top prospect and should take over as the primary shortstop for the stretch run. He's split his time in the minors this season between Las Vegas and Double-A Midland, and he's hit .423 with seven homers, two steals, 36 RBI and 44 runs in 48 games between the two affiliates.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Hits homer in nightcap

    Schneemann went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 9-4 loss to the Royals in the second game of Monday's doubleheader.

    Schneemann went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter in the matinee, but he logged his fourth multi-hit effort in five contests while starting at third base in the nightcap. The utility man has yet to lock down one steady spot in the lineup, but he's seen regular playing time between center field, shortstop and third base lately. With Lane Thomas struggling since he was traded from the Nationals, the Guardians may opt to have Schneemann handle a strong-side platoon role in center field eventually. For the season, Schneemann is slashing .239/.320/.413 with five homers, three stolen bases, 21 RBI and 15 runs scored over 58 games.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Slugs winning homer in matinee

    Witt went 2-for-6 with three walks, a double, a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Monday's doubleheader sweep of the Guardians.

    The AL MVP candidate took Hunter Gaddis deep in the eighth inning of the matinee to break a 3-3 tie and set the Royals on their way to winning both games. Witt has hit safely in 14 of the last 15 games, slashing .351/.448/.737 over that stretch with five homers, two steals, 10 RBI and 14 runs, and the 24-year-old is closing in on his second straight 30-30 campaign with 27 home runs and 27 stolen bases through 132 contests.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Swipes two bags in loss

    Caballero went 0-for-3 with two stolen bases in a Monday's loss to the Mariners.

    Caballero didn't get a hit in the contest, but he was still able to do what he does best, stealing second and third base after reaching on a fielder's choice in the fifth inning. The speedy utility man is up to 37 thefts on the campaign, most in the American League and tied for third in the majors. Caballero has produced modest fantasy stats otherwise, though, slashing .232/.291/.374 with nine homers, 37 RBI and 50 runs over 111 games.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Has three hits, steals base

    Volpe went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs in Monday's 5-2 win against the Nationals.

    Volpe got his eighth three-hit game of the season on Monday, and his second in the month of August. Volpe's 24th stolen base tied his total from last season, doing it in 28 fewer games this season. The 23-year-old has been successful as of late on the bases, with four swipes in his last seven games, and he's not been caught stealing since July 22.

  • Leonardo Rivas SS | SEA

    Mariners' Leo Rivas: Garnering sixth straight start

    Rivas will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Giants.

    Rivas will stick in the lineup for the sixth game in a row after after producing seven hits and drawing a walk over his last five starts. He seems to have displaced Dylan Moore as the Mariners' preferred option at shortstop at the moment, but Rivas' run of regular playing time will likely come to an end soon. J.P. Crawford (finger) kicked off a rehab assignment Saturday and should be ready to return from the injured list later this week to reclaim everyday duties at shortstop.
