    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Homers in loss

    Crawford went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Rangers.

    Crawford took Nathan Eovaldi deep in third inning for his second home run over his last five games and his fifth this month. He continues to be one of the Mariners' more impactful hitters, as he now has a hit in 12 of his last 13 games and is slashing .281/.349/.491 over that span. His 17 home runs on the year nearly double his previous career high of nine from 2021, while his 58 RBI and 91 runs scored also are career-best totals.

    Mateo drove in the second run of the game with an RBI groundout in the second, then doubled and later scored on an Adley Rutschman double in the fourth. Mateo had seven multi-hit efforts over the first month of the season, but Sunday was only his fifth such performance since. Entering Sunday, Mateo had hit only .172 over 233 at-bats since the start of May, though he is now hitting .280 over 25 September at-bats.

    Story is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

  • Nick Allen SS | HOU

    Athletics' Nick Allen: Productive out of bottom of order

    Allen went 1-for-2 with a walk and two runs in a win over the Tigers on Saturday.

    Allen was able to set the table nicely for both Esteury Ruiz and Ryan Noda out of his No. 8 spot in the order, coming across to score on the former's third-inning home run and the latter's eighth-inning double. The young shortstop's season slash line is still sitting at an unsightly .208/.252/.269, however, and he has just a single extra-base hit, a double, over his last 22 games.

    Pena went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Royals.

The second-year shortstop hasn't matched his power output from 2022, but his walk rate and on-base percentage have risen while his strikeout rate has decreased, indicating a better approach at the plate. For the year, Pena has a .262/.323/.383 slash line with 10 home runs, 13 steals, 51 RBI and 81 runs scored over 143 contests.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Not starting Saturday

    Neto isn't in the Angels' lineup Saturday against Minnesota, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Neto is slashing just .122/.217/.220 across his last 10 games, so he'll get a day off to regroup after striking out three times Friday. David Fletcher will take over at shortstop and bat ninth.
