  • Bo Bichette 3B | NYM

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Perfect at plate Sunday

    Bichette went 4-for-4 with an RBI double and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-0 win over Oakland.

    The 23-year-old is riding a 10-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 17-for-40 (.425) with a home run, four doubles, five RBI and 11 runs scored. Bichette has lifted his batting average from .283 to .293 during the late-summer surge. He's collected 21 homers, 21 stolen bases, 25 doubles, 82 RBI and 103 runs scored through 132 contests.

  • Royals' Adalberto Mondesi: Swipes two bags

    Mondesi went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two steals in Sunday's 6-0 win over the White Sox.

    Mondesi did all his damage in the sixth inning where he singled, stole two bases and came around to score. He's swiped four bags in three games since returning from his lengthy stint on the injured list. Through 51 plate appearances, the speedy infielder is slashing .347/.360/.755 with five steals and 10 runs scored.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Exits Sunday's contest

    Rojas was removed from Sunday's loss to the Phillies with left trapezius soreness, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Rojas went 0-for-4 with a strikeout prior to being replaced in the field during the ninth inning. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but the 32-year-old will have Monday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery before missing any time.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Rips four hits Saturday

    Crawford went 4-for-5 with a two-run single, a double and two runs in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Crawford put together a prototypical leadoff effort and did more than just set the table by bringing home Jarred Kelenic and Jose Marmolejos with his timely fourth-inning knock. The veteran shortstop has been on a torrid stretch at the plate over the last eight games, posting a .353/.412/.833 slash line with two doubles, four walks and eight runs across 38 plate appearances.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Ahmed is not in the lineup Sunday versus Seattle.

    Ahmed went 1-for-4 with a double during Saturday's contest and will receive a day off after starting the past nine games. Josh Rojas will take over at shortstop while Andrew Young starts at the keystone.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Moves to injured list

    Adames was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a strained left quadriceps.

    Adames aggravated the quadriceps injury during Saturday's game against the Cardinals after starting the contest 3-for-3, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. It's unclear how long the 26-year-old is expected to be sidelined, but the Brewers are figure to be cautious with his return since a potential playoff run is on the horizon, especially since he already missed some time after originally suffering the injury in late August.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Plays hero in Saturday matinee

    Lindor went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in an 11-9 win over the Nationals during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

    The shortstop bailed the Mets out after they squandered a 9-0 lead in the matinee, taking Kyle Finnegan deep for a game-winning two-run shot in the top of the ninth inning. Lindor's long ball was his 12th of the year and first since July 11, although he missed much of the intervening time with an oblique strain, and since returning to action he's slashing just .205/.200/.385 through 11 games.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Mets' Javier Baez: Clubs 27th homer

    Baez went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored during an 11-9 win over the Nationals in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

    The infielder didn't start the nightcap but went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter. Baez took Erick Fedde deep in the second inning to help the Mets build a 7-0 lead through three frames, but the New York bullpen squandered that cushion and the matinee wound up going to extra innings. Baez is batting .250 (11-for-44) with three of his 27 homers on the season in 12 games since returning from a back injury.

  • Aledmys Diaz 1B | HOU

    Astros' Aledmys Diaz: Fills in for slumping Altuve

    Diaz started at second base and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 10-2 loss to San Diego.

    Altuve was given the day off Saturday in the midst of a dismal 4-for-37 funk, which caused him to show frustration during Friday's 6-3 win. Diaz, who had received regular at-bats as a fill-in at third base while Alex Bregman was unavailable, has been moved around the diamond to keep fresh, but he's 1-for-25 since Bregman returned to action Aug. 25. Saturday's start was his first since Tuesday.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Registers another three-hit effort

    Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 win over Philadelphia.

    Rojas followed his 3-for-3 effort Friday with another three hits Saturday, and he has collected eight hits and five RBI over his past 11 at-bats overall. The scorching stretch has pushed his season slash line to .279/.338/.417.
