Ezequiel Tovar SS | COL
Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Knocks in two
Tovar went 1-for-3 with two RBI on Tuesday against the Mariners.
Tovar went through a six-game hitless streak in mid-September, but he's followed that by collecting at least one hit in six of his last eight starts. He delivered a two-RBI single in the sixth inning of Tuesday's contest, giving him four RBI in that same eight-game span. Tovar is wrapping up a disappointing season, posting only 29 extra-base hits and a .141 ISO across 370 plate appearances.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Walks it off
Perdomo went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers.
The Diamondbacks were down a run entering the bottom of the ninth inning, but contributions came from the bottom of the order and eventually Perdomo produced a walk-off win. The shortstop singled in the game-winning run, and the two-hit night extended a hit streak to 12 games, during which he's slashing .409/.536/.682 with seven extra-base hits (two HR), nine walks, two steals and seven RBI. His strong finish highlights what has been a breakout season worthy of MVP consideration. Perdomo has a 6.9 fWAR (fifth in MLB) and 6.8 bWAR (third).

Bobby Witt SS | KC
Royals' Bobby Witt: Drives in pair
Witt went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 8-4 victory over the Angels.
Witt contributed to the hit parade with two hits base knocks, including a two-run double in the eighth inning that put the Royals' lead out of reach. The shortstop has finished the regular season strong, posting a 1.007 OPS with six extra-base hits and six RBI over his past eight games. While his 2025 numbers don't quite match his monster 2024 campaign (.977 OPS with 30 homers and 30 steals), he's still delivered an impressive .853 OPS with 44 doubles, six triples, 23 homers, 84 RBI and 37 stolen bases across 152 games.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Giants' Willy Adames: Posts steal in loss
Adames went 2-for-5 with a double, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Cardinals.
Adames played a big part in the Giants' third-inning rally, knocking in a run with a single, stealing second and scoring in that frame. This was the shortstop's first multi-hit effort since Sept. 13 versus the Dodgers -- he had gone just 3-for-30 with nine walks and 12 strikeouts over his previous nine games. He's now at a .226/.319/.417 slash line with 28 home runs, 84 RBI, 91 runs scored and 12 stolen bases over 156 contests in what's been a mixed bag of a first year with San Francisco for the 30-year-old.

Wilson has maintained a steady presence in the lineup, slashing .318/.362/.453 with 13 home runs, 25 doubles, 60 RBI, 62 runs scored and five stolen bases through 121 games overall.

Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Swats homer in loss
De La Cruz went 3-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Tuesday's loss to Pittsburgh.
De La Cruz's second-inning home run was the only source of offense for the Reds. It was his second long ball in his last four appearances after finally snapping a 43-game drought. He entered August with an .852 OPS, but he's now sporting a .784 OPS through 677 plate appearances. De La Cruz has 21 homers, 59 extra-base hits and 36 stolen bases this season.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Rangers' Corey Seager: Won't return in 2025
Manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that Seager (abdomen) will miss the rest of the season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Seager recently resumed light baseball activities after undergoing an appendectomy in late August, but the team won't bother rushing him back now that they sit five games back of a wild-card spot with only six left to play. Despite missing time this year with hamstring injuries in addition to his recent procedure, the 31-year-old slashed .271/.373/.487 while collecting 21 home runs, 50 RBI, 61 runs and three stolen bases across 102 games.

Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Activated Tuesday after delays
The Padres activated Bogaerts (foot) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
In a corresponding move Tuesday, the Padres optioned Will Wagner to the Arizona Complex League. It was initially thought Bogaerts would return during this past weekend or Monday, but he had delays regarding his pregame workouts for his fractured foot. The shortstop is batting second Tuesday at home versus the Brewers, who are sending lefty Bruce Zimmermann to the mound.
