Willy Adames SS | SF
Rays' Willy Adames: Slugs ninth homer
Adames went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and a walk in a win over the Athletics on Sunday.
Adames' red-hot second half continued Sunday, as his fourth multi-hit effort of the month brought his September average to .350. The rookie also snapped a 16-game homerless streak with his fourth-inning solo blast, giving him multiple extra-base hits in a game for the first time in his young career.

David Fletcher 2B | ATL
Angels' David Fletcher: Season in jeopardy
Fletcher (hamstring) will not travel with the club for its upcoming series with the Athletics, and he may not return before the season ends, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Fletcher was diagnosed with a strained left hamstring after coming up lame on his lone hit Sunday. The Halos' second baseman will be re-evaluated Monday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the rookie shut down with just 12 games left on the schedule. Kaleb Cowart -- who entered Sunday's contest in place of Fletcher -- should absorb the majority of starts at the keystone.
