  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Sitting Wednesday

    Rojas is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Brewers.

    He is 7-for-32 (.219) with one home run and one steal in seven games this month. Jon Berti is starting at shortstop and hitting leadoff.

  • David Fletcher 2B | ATL

    Angels' David Fletcher: Back-to-back two-hit games

    Fletcher recorded a pair of base hits across four at-bats Tuesday in the Angels' 8-0 loss to the Indians.

    Fletcher accounted for half of the Angels' hits in the loss and has opened the series against Cleveland with back-to-back two-hit games. The leadoff man is batting .280 since the All-Star break but hasn't offered much help in the counting-stats categories, logging 31 runs, 14 RBI, three steals and no home runs in the second half.

  • Joey Wendle 2B | ATL

    Rays' Joey Wendle: Keeps squaring up in win

    Wendle went 2-for-5 an RBI single, a triple and a run in an extra-innings win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

    Wendle continues to provide glimpses of the proficient hitter he'd proven to be over his first two seasons as the current campaign winds down. Tuesday's showing pushed his season average to .231, an admittedly mediocre figure that nevertheless is Wendle's highest of the season. The versatile 29-year-old has rediscovered his stroke in September, as he's now hitting .357 (10-for-28) over 29 plate appearances during the month and has a trio of multi-hit efforts in the last five games.

  • Royals' Adalberto Mondesi: First homer since return

    Mondesi went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the White Sox.

    It was the shortstop's eighth homer of the year and his first in eight games since recovering from the shoulder injury that cost him six weeks of action. Mondesi is slashing .265/.286/.382 since his return with a 1:12 BB:K, but his six steals have kept his fantasy value high while he shakes off the rust at the plate.

  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Slugs seventh homer

    Camargo went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Phillies.

    Camargo led off the second inning with a double, but was ultimately stranded at third base. He took matters into his own hands to lead off the eighth inning with a solo home run, his seventh homer of the season. Tuesday marked Camargo's first start since Aug. 15, and his .234/.280/.385 line in 97 games is nothing noteworthy.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Dodgers' Corey Seager: Drives in five

    Seager went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI against the Orioles on Tuesday.

    Seager paced the Dodgers' offense, first driving a 419-foot three-run homer in the first frame. He followed that up with a two-run shot just two innings later, bringing his season total to 16. While his overall body of work has been a disappointment, Seager now has three long balls in his past seven starts. He'll look to keep improving on his .263/.329/.463 line to close the campaign.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Could return this weekend

    Crawford (hamstring) has shown significant improvement and could return to action as early as this weekend, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

    GM Jerry DiPoto said Sept. 4 that Crawford would be sidelined for at least two weeks, but he's since demonstrated major improvement to lead to the shortened timeline. The Mariners are still likely to remain cautious with the 24-year-old's return with the playoffs out of the question.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Won't return until Thursday

    Arcia (personal) will rejoin the Brewers on Thursday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Previous reports held that Arcia would return from the paternity list Wednesday. He'll apparently be flying to meet up with the team that day but won't be back in the lineup until the following day. Hernan Perez has been starting at shortstop in his absence.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Headed for rehab stint

    Correa (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Correa is expected to get a chance to take the field for Game 3 of Round Rock's playoff series, assuming all goes well over the next few days. His return date is still up in the air.

  • Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Gets rare day off

    Bogaerts isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Bogaerts has been scuffling at the dish lately, finishing Boston's four-game series with New York just 2-for-16 with four strikeouts. Chris Owings starts at second base and will bat eighth Tuesday.
