  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Gets aboard three times in win

    Henderson went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and one stolen base in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Rockies.

    Henderson entered Sunday in a bit of a slump, having gone just 7-for-50 (.140) over his previous 13 contests. He was able to break that with a multi-hit effort, though he's now gone nine games without an extra-base hit. The shortstop is at a .276/.363/.527 slash line with 33 home runs, 16 steals, 80 RBI, 102 runs scored, 24 doubles and six triples over 136 games this season. He doesn't appear comfortable in the heart of the order -- Henderson is batting .248 across 39 games from third and fourth in the order (combined), while he's batting .287 over 97 games when atop the lineup.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Getting afternoon off

    Crawford is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Crawford will receive a breather for the series finale after he had started in each of the Mariners' three games since he returned from the injured list Wednesday. Leo Rivas will step in at shortstop for Crawford, while Victor Robles will serve as the Mariners' leadoff batter.

  • Dylan Moore LF | PHI

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Returning to bench Sunday

    Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Moore had started each of the last four games while going 3-for-11 with two doubles and a stolen base, but he'll retreat to the bench while the Angels send right-hander Caden Dana to the hill. The utility man should continue to pick up regular starts against left-handed pitching, but his playing time versus righties may be more sporadic in September.

  • Tristan Gray SS | MIN

    Athletics' Tristan Gray: Joins big club

    The Athletics recalled Gray from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

    The 28-year-old was claimed off waivers by Oakland on Tuesday, and he'll move up to the big leagues Sunday with MLB rosters expanding to 28 players. Gray has been productive at the Triple-A level this season with a .249/.322/.472 slash line and 18 homers in 103 games.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Sitting in series finale

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    After starting in each of the Guardians' previous six matchups with right-handed pitchers, the lefty-hitting Schneemann will retreat to the bench Sunday while righty Mitch Keller takes the hill for Pittsburgh. Lane Thomas will start in center field as a replacement in the lineup for Schneemann, who closed August with a .294/.373/.373 slash line to go with one home run and two stolen bases.

  • Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Taking seat Sunday

    Rafaela is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Rafaela started the previous five games but will sit Sunday after going 2-for-16 with a double and a homer during that span. Nick Sogard will receive a start at shortstop while Romy Gonzalez mans the keystone.

  • Dylan Moore LF | PHI

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Productive in Saturday's loss

    Moore went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Angels on Saturday.

    The veteran slotted in at the keystone and delivered his second double in the last three games as part of his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 9. Moore also recorded his career-high 28th steal following his fourth-inning single, allowing him to close out August with an impressive eight pilfers in 11 attempts across 23 games. Moore's defensive versatility and above-average pop should continue affording him near-everyday playing time during the final month of the regular season.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Slugs 29th homer

    Witt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to Houston.

    Witt hit a solo shot in the eighth inning for the final run of the contest. It was his 29th long ball of the season, moving him to within one homer of reaching 30 for the second consecutive campaign. In 28 games during August, Witt batted .310 (35-for-113) with 10 home runs, 20 RBI, 25 runs and three stolen bases.

  • Jose Caballero 2B | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Drives in four

    Caballero went 2-for-5 with four RBI on Saturday against the Padres.

    Caballero drove in runs in three of his five plate appearances, highlighted by a two-RBI single in the fourth inning. He's started nine of the Rays' last 10 games at a combination of second base, third base and shortstop, and in that time, Caballero has gone 7-for-37 with three doubles, seven RBI and two stolen bases.

  • Max Schuemann 2B | NYY

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Rings up 12th steal in win

    Schuemann went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Rangers on Friday.

    The rookie recorded his 12th steal of the campaign after getting plunked in the ninth inning, and he subsequently came around to score on Lawrence Butler's double. Schuemann drew another start at third base while Jacob Wilson filled in at shortstop Friday, and the first-year duo looks poised to remain in that arrangement on most days down the stretch.
