  • Ha-seong Kim SS | ATL

    Braves' Ha-Seong Kim: Swats fourth homer

    Kim went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's win over the Tigers.

    The infielder took Chris Paddack deep in the eighth inning as part of a 10-1 rout. Kim has hit safely in seven straight games, batting .423 (11-for-26) over that stretch, and in 16 games since joining Atlanta he's slashing .316/.375/.439 with two of his four homers on the season, and 10 of his 15 RBI.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Goes deep in loss

    Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Reds.

    Swanson connected for his first home run in two weeks, giving him 23 long balls for the season. That's the most by the Chicago shortstop in his time with his team, as he hit 22 homers in 2023 and 16 homers last year. Swanson's career high in home runs is 27, which he recorded back in 2021 while playing for Atlanta. The 31-year-old also has 76 RBI and 17 stolen bases this season to round out his stat line.

  • Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Ends homer drought

    De La Cruz went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's 7-4 win over the Cubs. He was also caught stealing.

    De La Cruz helped break a 4-4 tie in the seventh inning when he hit the second of back-to-back home runs. The blast, his 20th of the season, was his first since July 31. In those 43 games in between homers, De La Cruz slashed .205/.255/.290 with just 10 RBI.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Drives in three in loss

    Abrams went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 12-6 loss to the Mets.

    Abrams smacked an RBI double in the third inning before adding a two-run homer in the fifth. The long ball was the shortstop's first since Aug. 23, and he's now on a modest four-game hitting streak despite batting just .238 in 16 September contests. For the season, he's slashing .264/.323/.442 with 18 home runs, 58 RBI, 89 runs scored and 31 steals across 604 plate appearances.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Sparks offense in win

    Lindor went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, one RBI and four runs scored in Friday's 12-6 win over the Nationals.

    Lindor scored each time he reached base and broke a 4-4 tie with an RBI single in the fourth inning. The shortstop is now riding an eight-game hitting streak, piling up 12 runs in that span. On the season, he's slashing .268/.344/.456 with 27 homers, 79 RBI, 111 runs scored and 30 steals across 694 plate appearances.

  • Mookie Betts RF | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Reaches 20-homer mark

    Betts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

    Betts stalled out with a month-long power drought from July 6 to Aug. 6, but he was able to turn things around in a big way. He reached the 20-homer mark Friday after missing that plateau last year. He's smacked six long balls and supplied 19 RBI over his last 15 contests, a span in which he's hitting a stellar .339 (21-for-62). Overall, Betts has a .260/.328/.413 slash line with 79 RBI, 93 runs scored, 22 doubles, two triples and eight stolen bases over 143 games.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Set for Monday return

    Bogaerts' (foot) on-field workout Friday was rained out, and he is now expected to rejoin the Padres on Monday for the start of a three-game series against Milwaukee, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Bogaerts was on track to return this weekend, but Friday's rainout delayed his progression, and his return date has been pushed back to Monday. The shortstop has been a full participant in baseball activities but is completing a running progression.

  • Braves' Jonathan Ornelas: Booted off 40-man roster

    Atlanta designated Ornelas for assignment Friday.

    The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Jhancarlos Lara. It's the second time Ornelas has been designated for assignment this season, as the Rangers booted him off their 40-man roster in May before trading him to Atlanta. He's spent most of the 2025 campaign at the Triple-A level, where he's slashed only .196/.295/.303 in 115 contests.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Logs steal in loss

    Adames went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Dodgers.

    Adames has gone cold at the plate, going 0-for-13 with four walks and six strikeouts over the first four games of the Giants' current road trip. However, the veteran shortstop has logged three steals over his last 11 games and is up to 11 thefts on 14 attempts this season. Adames has added a .226/.318/.420 slash line with 28 home runs, 82 RBI, 88 runs scored, 20 doubles and two triples through 151 contests.

  • Joseph Ortiz 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Sitting down Wednesday

    Ortiz isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Ortiz will receive a day off Wednesday after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's series opener. Andruw Monasterio will replace him at shortstop and bat ninth.
