  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Goes deep

    Camargo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Thursday against the Diamondbacks.

    Camargo took Zack Greinke deep in the sixth inning, his 16th home run of the season. While he has cooled off a bit since ending August by recording multiple hits in three consecutive games, Camargo has managed at least one hit in four of six games in September. The 24-year-old has built on a solid 2017 debut by hitting .276/.358/.460 across 399 at-bats.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Drives in three

    Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI on Thursday against the Braves.

    Ahmed was a main source of offense for the Diamondbacks on Thursday, driving a three-RBI double in the fourth inning. The double marked only his third extra-base hit since August 14, though they have all come in the past five games. However, he continues to log regular at-bats thanks to his strong defense, making him a viable option in deeper leagues.

  • Indians' Francisco Lindor: Drives in four

    Lindor went 4-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored Thursday against the Blue Jays.

    Lindor took Sam Gaviglio deep twice, bringing his total on the season to 33. After failing to homer in 22 consecutive games, Lindor now has four home runs in his past four games. While he has already set career-best marks in runs scored (117) and stolen bases (22), he is also likely to set new benchmarks in home runs, RBI and slugging percentage before the season comes to a close.

  • Mariners' Dee Gordon: Pair of hits out of bottom of order

    Gordon went 2-for-4 with a double in a win over the Orioles in Wednesday.

    Gordon had opened September with an 0-for-10 tally across his first three games, a modest slump he snapped out of Wednesday with his third multi-hit effort over the last six contests. The veteran's on-base percentage (.293) leaves plenty to be desired and is largely responsible for his banishment to the bottom of the order, but his 24 extra-base hits (17 doubles, five triples, two home runs) and 30 stolen bases certainly afford him a degree of fantasy utility.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Braves' Dansby Swanson: Returns to lineup

    Swanson (head) is starting at shortstop and hitting eighth Thursday against the Diamondbacks, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    Swanson has been cleared to rejoin the lineup after sitting out Wednesday's series finale against Red Sox with a head bruise. The shortstop will look to pick up where he left off prior to suffering the injury, as he's hitting an impressive .317/.371/.603 with five homers and two stolen bases over his previous 20 games.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Rockies' Trevor Story: Smacks three homers

    Story went 3-for-4 with three solo home runs in Wednesday's win over the Giants.

    Story took starter Andrew Suarez deep in each of his first three at-bats, including a mammoth 505-foot shot that set the record for the longest measured home run in the relatively brief Statcast era. The 25-year-old went deep twice Monday as well, with five RBI in that effort, and he's now 10-for-20 with five homers, 10 RBI and three steals since the start of September. Overall, Story has been incredibly productive across the board with a .298/.354/.566 line, 31 homers, 95 RBI and 25 steals in 31 tries.

  • Aledmys Diaz 1B | HOU

    Blue Jays' Aledmys Diaz: Bashes three-run homer

    Diaz went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and an additional run scored in Wednesday's win over the Rays.

    Diaz helped chase Tyler Glasnow in the first inning with his three-run homer, which put the Blue Jays up 6-0 in what was a seven-run inning. The 28-year-old also added a double and scored in the sixth inning. He's now hit safely in three straight games and is slashing .254/.291/.448 with 17 homers across 109 games this season.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Gets rest Wednesday

    Crawford is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Crawford has been a little banged up lately, missing three games last week with a sore knee. He'll get another night off while Alen Hanson picks up a start at shortstop in his place.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Correa is out of the lineup against Minnesota on Wednesday.

    Correa will receive a standard day off for the first time since returning from the DL on Aug. 10. Since that date, he's hit just .171/.260/.220 with one home run, 12 RBI and 20 strikeouts in 23 games. Alex Bregman will start at shortstop in his absence. Look for Correa to rejoin the lineup Friday in Boston.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Doubles twice in victory

    Arcia went 3-for-5 with three runs and two doubles in Tuesday's victory over the Cubs.

    Arcia isn't tearing the cover off the ball by any means, but since being recalled from the minors July 26 he has posted a respectable .273/.304/.364 slash line over 92 plate appearances. He has not hit higher than eighth in the batting order since the same date, but with him finding far more success at the plate than he did earlier this season, he's found himself in the lineup four times in the last five games.
