  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Resting after six-RBI game

    Crawford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    One of three San Francisco players to record six RBI in Tuesday's 23-5 victory, Crawford will get a well-deserved day off as the Giants wrap up their series at Coors Field. Daniel Robertson will fill in for Crawford at shortstop, batting eighth against Rockies lefty Kyle Freeland.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Swats fifth homer

    Adames went 3-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees.

    The shortstop picked up right where he'd left off at the end of August. Adames has three straight multi-hit efforts, and over his last 10 games he's batting .378 (14-for-37) with a 1.167 OPS. The hot streak has pushed his slash line on the season up to .316/.391/.579 with five homers, 15 RBI and 22 runs through 35 games.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Drives in six

    Crawford went 3-for-6 with a home run, a double, a stolen base, three runs and six RBI in a 23-5 rout over the Rockies on Tuesday.

    Crawford joined Alex Dickerson and Donovan Solano to form the first trio of teammates to each drive in six runs in one game in MLB history. Crawford fell a triple shy of the cycle with his performance, which included a three-run homer to right field in the sixth inning. The shortstop pushed his season slash line to .280/.353/.449 with the big effort. He also has four homers and 16 RBI this season.

  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Nursing sore abdomen

    Rojas was removed from Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays with abdominal soreness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    The 31-year-old went 1-for-3 with a double and a caught stealing prior to exiting at the start of the eighth inning. Rojas should be considered day-to-day until the team further updates his status.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Attempts to spark comeback

    Ahmed went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

    Ahmed took reliever Scott Alexander deep in the ninth inning to cut the deficit to three runs, but that was as close as it got. The 30-year-old Ahmed is slashing .242/.299/.387 with four homers, 19 RBI, 17 runs scored and two stolen bases through 36 contests. The homer Tuesday was just his fourth hit in his last 22 at-bats.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Collects three hits

    Edman went 3-for-7 with a double, a run and an RBI during Tuesday's 16-2 win over the Reds.

    The 25-year-old now has multiple hits in each of the past three games and is 15-for-43 (.349 average) over his past 10 contests. Edman has a .274/.343/.379 slash line with one homer, one steal, five doubles, 12 runs and 12 RBI in 25 games this season.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Posts three-hit game

    Anderson went 3-for-4 with a run scored in a loss to Minnesota on Tuesday.

    The White Sox couldn't muster much offense in the contest, but Anderson was up to his usual production, notching his 11th multi-hit game of the season. The 27-year-old has built upon a breakthrough 2019 campaign by upping his slash line to .345/.385/.600 this season. He has added six home runs and three stolen bases while scoring 26 runs.

  • Indians' Francisco Lindor: Smacks sixth homer

    Lindor went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Royals.

    Lindor took Matt Harvey deep in the first inning to notch his sixth homer of the campaign. The performance extended his hitting streak to eight games, four of which have been multi-hit efforts. Overall, Lindor has put together a .270/.325/.446 line with two stolen bases, 18 runs scored and 17 RBI across 160 plate appearances.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Enters September running hot

    Edman, who went 2-for-5 with a double and a run in a win over the Reds on Monday, hit .344 (11-for-32) with two doubles, three RBI, three walks, a stolen base and four runs over the final eight games of August.

    The versatile 25-year-old has pulled his season line out of the ditch with his current hot streak, as he's quickly boosted his average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage by 47, 47 and 25 points, respectively, in that stretch. Edman's current .261/.337/.364 slash line is beginning to progressively approximate the impressive .304/.350/.500 figures he generated during his 2019 rookie campaign, with a reduction in strikeout rate during that eight-game sample (16.7 percent, down from 19.4 percent) helping his cause.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Finishes August on tear

    Adames, who went 3-for-5 with a double in a win over the Yankees on Monday, finished August with a .333/.403/.633 slash line over his final 67 plate appearances.

    The hot-hitting shortstop will now look to keep up the stellar work at the plate over the last few weeks of the season. Adames has been putting plenty of good wood on the ball during the aforementioned stretch, belting seven doubles and three home runs while generating an elite 38.5 percent line-drive rate and 46.2 percent hard-contact rate. However, he's also struck out at an elevated 31.3 percent clip and benefited from an unsustainable .472 BABIP over the same period, so some September regression is possible if he doesn't begin making more consistent contact.
