  • Royals' Adalberto Mondesi: Steals 24th base

    Mondesi went 1-for-5 with a stolen base Saturday against the Twins.

    Mondesi only reached base once, but took advantage by swiping his 24th base of the season. He also extended his hitting streak to five games, during which he's swiped four bases, scored four runs and driven in four. Despite getting only 215 at-bats at the major-league level to this point, Mondesi will have the opportunity to end the season with 10 home runs and 25 stolen bases, an impressive campaign for the 23-year-old.

  • Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Notches eighth stolen base

    Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Mets.

    Bogaerts put the Red Sox up 1-0 in the first inning with his run-scoring single. He added a stolen base, his second in the past three games and eighth of the season. Bogaerts is off to a hot start to the month, as he's slashing a healthy .364/.440/.568 with two homers and three stolen bases through 13 games in September.

  • Aledmys Diaz 1B | HOU

    Blue Jays' Aledmys Diaz: Drives in three

    Diaz went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Yankees.

    Diaz came through with hits in the second and seventh innings to help the Blue Jays build an 8-1 lead. The 28-year-old has a .257/.292/.447 slash line with 17 home runs in 389 at-bats this season.

  • Mariners' Dee Gordon: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Gordon is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

    Left-hander Andrew Heaney is starting for the Angels, sending Gordon to the bench. Robinson Cano will slide over to second base for the Mariners, with Ryon Healy earning the start at first base.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Rays' Willy Adames: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Adames is out of the lineup against Oakland on Saturday, Steve Carney of 620 WDAE reports.

    Adames will receive a breather after going 1-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts during Friday's contest. In his place, Joey Wendle will start at shortstop while Brandon Lowe gets the nod at second base.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Doubles twice in win

    Ahmed went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, a walk and a run in a 4-2 triumph over the Astros on Friday.

    Ahmed has showed some solid gap power of late with five doubles over his last nine games, but he hasn't left the yard since he hit two home runs Aug. 4 against the Giants. That extended home-run drought has made it tough for fantasy owners in shallower settings to justify holding onto the shortstop, who doesn't offer standout production in any of the other four main rotisserie categories either.

  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Remains out Saturday

    Camargo (groin) is out of the lineup against Washington on Saturday.

    Camargo will miss a third straight game with a groin injury as Charlie Culberson gets another start in his absence. The club was hopeful that Camargo would've returned to action for Friday's series opener, but he wound up spending the night on the bench in order to get some additional rest. Manager Brian Snitker appears to be stressing some precaution with the 23-year-old, which shouldn't come as a major surprise since the Braves are sitting pretty atop the NL East. Consider Camargo day-to-day heading into Sunday's series finale.

  • Pablo Reyes RF | SD

    Pirates' Pablo Reyes: Pops first career homer

    Reyes went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Brewers.

    Making his third start in the last five games, Reyes launched the first big-league homer of his career, pushing his slash line to .375/.474/.625 in seven games since his promotion. While he's not a big-name prospect for the Pirates, the 25-year-old appears to be holding down the short side of a platoon with Adam Frazier in left field, giving him some NL-only fantasy appeal for the stretch run.

  • Royals' Adalberto Mondesi: Homers, collects steal

    Mondesi went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, two additional runs, and a stolen base in Friday's victory over the Twins.

    Hitting from the two-hole, Mondesi loaded up the stat sheet once again, as he's now collected a stolen base in three of his past four starts. He has also generated multi-hit outings in nine of his last 15 starts. Mondesi's recent hot streak has bumped his season average up to .286 to go along with eight home runs, 27 RBI and 23 steals over 221 plate appearances.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Remains on bench Friday

    Arcia is out of the lineup against Pittsburgh on Friday.

    Arcia wasn't listed in manager Craig Counsell's starting nine for the fifth time in the past seven games, as Jonathan Schoop once again gets the nod at shortstop. Dating back to Aug. 26, Arcia has gone just 7-for-33 (.212 average) with two RBI in his last 16 contests.
