  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Adds another homer

    Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Red Sox.

    Seager has three homers over his last three contests, going 5-for-12 in that span. The shortstop's blast opened the scoring in the first inning Sunday. Seager is up to 22 long balls, 54 RBI, 55 runs scored, one stolen base, 14 doubles and a .277/.359/.491 slash line through 99 games this season, though he's batting a more impressive .391 (18-for-46) over his last 11 contests.

  • David Hamilton SS | BOS

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Two thefts in Sunday's win

    Hamilton went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, two stolen bases and two total runs scored in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Rangers.

    Hamilton sat out the first two games versus the Rangers after going 0-for-12 with five strikeouts over three contests versus the Mariners earlier in the week. The reset seemed to help, as the infielder put together his first multi-hit effort since July 14. His recent slump has taken some of the wind out of his sails -- he's at a .253/.307/.395 slash line with five home runs, 28 steals, 19 RBI, 38 runs scored, 13 doubles and a triple through 251 plate appearances. Hamilton will need to find more consistency at the plate to avoid ceding more work to Nick Sogard or Romy Gonzalez.

  • Eddys Leonard SS | DET

    Tigers' Eddys Leonard: Back in action at Triple-A

    Leonard (hamstring) has gone 1-for-7 over two games since being reinstated from Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list Friday.

    Leonard returned to action for Toledo earlier this weekend for the first time since straining his right hamstring June 25 while running the bases, per Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. The 23-year-old infielder has now had two extended absences this season, as he was also sidelined from April 8 through May 20 with a left oblique strain.

  • Rays' Jose Caballero: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Caballero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Houston.

    Caballero started the previous four games but will head to the bench Sunday after going 2-for-16 with two doubles, a walk and nine strikeouts during that stretch. Curtis Mead will start at third base and bat third in the series finale versus the Astros.

  • Darell Hernaiz SS | OAK

    Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Hitless in return to action

    Hernaiz (ankle), reinstated from the injured list earlier in the day, started at second base and went 0-for-4 in a loss to the Dodgers on Saturday.

    The rookie infielder logged his first big-league action since May 7 after finally overcoming a troublesome ankle injury. Hernaiz had hit well during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas, but it wouldn't be surprising if his timing against major-league arms, which was still very much a work in progress at the time of his placement on the IL, takes a while to develop.

  • Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Moving to bench Sunday

    Jimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Jimenez will exit the starting nine for the series finale in New York while the Blue Jays open up a spot on the left side of the infield for Luis De Los Santos, who will cover third base in his first MLB start. Ernie Clement will slide over to shortstop in place of Jimenez, who has served as the Blue Jays' primary option at the position since Bo Bichette (calf) landed on the shelf July 20. Jimenez hasn't offered much to get excited about from a fantasy perspective, as he's slashing .143/.196/.167 with zero home runs or stolen bases in 15 games since the All-Star break.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Posts four RBI in win

    Neto went 2-for-3 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Saturday's win over the Mets.

    Neto walked in his first trip to the plate before going on to score the Angels' first run on a Kevin Pillar single two batters later. The shortstop went on to add an RBI single in the fifth followed by a three-run homer in the seventh, which proved to be the game winner. The long ball was Neto's third since the start of July, while the multi-hit performance was his first since July 21 against Oakland. He's batting .241 (7-for-29) over his last 10 contests with five RBI and six runs scored.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Three-hit effort Saturday

    Henderson went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Guardians.

    Henderson saw an eight-game hitting streak snapped Friday, but he bounced right back with his first three-hit effort since July 19. The shortstop batted .276 in July, just a touch worse than his .288 average through 110 contests overall. For the season, he's added a .934 OPS, 67 RBI, 90 runs scored, 28 home runs, 14 stolen bases, 22 doubles and six triples. With Colton Cowser getting more run atop the order versus right-handers and short-side platoon specialist Austin Slater getting a look at leadoff versus southpaw Joey Cantillo on Saturday, Henderson has been hitting third in the order, which gives him a better chance to generate RBI.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Picks up steal in win

    Walls went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Astros.

    Walls recorded just his fifth hit in his last 16 games. Despite the struggles with getting on base, he's logged three steals during his slump, in part thanks to drawing eight walks over those contests. He's posted a punchless .156/.277/.193 slash line with no home runs, six steals, four RBI and 12 runs scored over 130 plate appearances this year. He appears to still be the Rays' preferred shortstop despite adding nothing with the bat and also being a poor fielder -- per Statcast, he has recorded a -4 mark in Outs Above Average in his first year exclusively at the position.

  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Homers again in win

    Volpe went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Volpe hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning and added an RBI single in the seventh. The shortstop is enjoying an eight-game hit streak in which he has homered four times and logged five multi-hit efforts. On the season, he is batting .261 with 11 homers, 44 RBI, 72 runs scored and 19 steals across 500 plate appearances.
