  • Max Schuemann 2B | OAK

    Athletics' Max Schuemann: Drives in two Monday

    Schuemann went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in a win over the White Sox on Monday.

    The rookie snapped a 1-1 tie in the fourth with his single, which brought home JJ Bleday and Zack Gelof to give the Athletics a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Prior to Monday, Schuemann had gone 11 games without an RBI, a stretch during which he'd hit just .200 overall and a miserable .077 with runners on base. Despite those forgettable numbers, Schuemann may be in the early stages of a resurgence, now having hit safely in three of his past four games.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Knocks in two

    Pena went 2-for-4 with two RBI on Monday against the Rangers.

    Pena had a nine-game hitting streak spanning from July 14 to July 27, during which he hit .412 with six RBI and seven runs scored. He's slumped in eight games since by going just 4-for-30 with a 34.4 percent strikeout rate, though he showed signs of breaking out of that slide with his multi-hit performance Monday. Pena is up to 50 RBI on the season, 14 away from setting a new career high.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Emerging from slump

    Hamilton went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 9-5 win over Kansas City.

    Hamilton made a second consecutive start and could be emerging from a slump. Coming out of the All-Star break, Hamilton went 3-for-33 (.091) over 10 games before given a couple of days off over the weekend. That may have been the cure; Hamilton went 4-for-8 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two steals in starts Sunday and Monday.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Homers in win

    Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Astros.

    Seager turned on a Ryan Pressly four-seamer in the eighth inning for his fourth home run in the last four games. The blast tied the game at 2-2, setting up the extra frame. Seager's hit well since the All-Star break, posting a line of .313/.375/.578 with five homers, seven RBI and 11 runs scored over 17 games.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Homers as pinch hitter

    Gonzalez went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run against the Royals in Monday's 9-5 victory.

    Gonzalez entered the contest in the seventh inning as a pinch hitter for Dominic Smith and promptly smashed a 452-foot, two-run homer to center field. It was his second long ball in his past four contests after he had gone deep just once over his first 98 at-bats this season. Gonzalez's overall slash line of .283/.336/.453 is pretty solid, but he doesn't see the field often enough to be a viable fantasy asset in most formats -- he plays almost exclusively against left-handed pitchers and has started just once over Boston's past seven contests.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | OAK

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Takes batting practice

    Wilson (hamstring) took batting practice Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Wilson has been progressing well in his recovery from a strained left hamstring and participated in batting practice for the first time since being placed on the IL on July 21. Still, the Athletics are taking it slow with the 22-year-old, who isn't expected back for multiple weeks.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: On bench Monday

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Arizona.

    The lefty-hitting Schneemann will take a seat Monday, even though right-hander Zac Gallen is taking the mound for the Diamondbacks. He'll cede duties at shortstop to Brayan Rocchio, who will bat ninth.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Posts second steal

    Schneemann went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles.

    After sitting out the first two games of this four-game set versus the Orioles, Schneemann started the last two and went 3-for-6 with a double and a steal. The utility man was at shortstop for the first time in four games -- Brayan Rocchio has been clawing back some playing time at that position in what remains an open competition that could also include Tyler Freeman. Schneemann is slashing .227/.304/.429 with four home runs, two steals, 16 RBI and 12 runs scored over 135 plate appearances, but he's hitting just .200 (6-for-30) since the All-Star break.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Another three-hit day

    Henderson went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and two additional runs scored during Sunday's 9-5 win over Cleveland.

    Henderson has logged three hits in back-to-back games and tagged Gavin Williams for a two-run homer in the fifth inning Sunday. The long ball was the shortstop's 29th of 2024, a career-high mark. At 23 years old, Henderson has already emerged as one of the AL's top hitters and is slashing .293/.379/.567 in 506 plate appearances.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Reaches 20-steal mark

    Neto went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mets.

    Neto didn't have an extra-base hit over 12 games from July 21 to Aug. 2, but he's now hit a homer and a triple in his last two games. The shortstop's steal Sunday was his 20th of the year, and nine of them have come since the start of July. For the season, he's managed a .256/.320/.439 slash line with 14 home runs, 51 RBI, 49 runs scored, 23 doubles and one triple over 109 contests.
