Astros' Jeremy Pena: Another big performance
Pena went 3-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored Tuesday against the Rangers.

He extended his hitting streak to five games and has at least one hit in 21 of his last 26 games, during which he's recorded 12 RBI and 13 runs scored while hitting .281. Pena has performed particularly well to start the Astros' series against Texas, tallying five hits with an RBI and five runs scored in the last two games.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Three knocks in win
Henderson went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's win against the White Sox.
Henderson delivered RBI singles in the third and fifth innings for his first multi-RBI game since Aug. 18. Over his previous 24 games, he had driven in just five runs while producing a .592 OPS. Henderson is still in a power slump and his homerless drought stands at 20 games. He's slashing .272/.348/.440 with 64 RBI and 82 runs scored this season through 604 plate appearances.

Francisco Lindor SS | NYM
Mets' Francisco Lindor: Goes deep in win
Lindor went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's win against the Padres.
Lindor singled and scored a run in the first inning before ripping a home run in the second. It was his 27th long ball of the year and snapped a 14-game homerless drought. Lindor has gone deep just twice over his last 24 contests but still has a shot at his third straight 30-homer campaign. He's now slashing .265/.340/.454 with 60 extra-base hits and 105 runs scored through 149 games.

Anthony Volpe SS | NYY
Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Back in lineup Tuesday
Volpe (shoulder) is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday against the Twins.
The 24-year-old shortstop will return to the starting nine for the first time since Sept. 9. Volpe has been dealing with a partially torn left labrum since May, but he received a cortisone injection last week and has improved enough to re-enter the lineup. The 2025 campaign has mostly been a struggle for Volpe, who has a .661 OPS while taking a step back defensively with minus-9 OAA and plus-1 DRS, which are significant drops from the plus-14 OAA and plus-6 DRS he posted during the 2024 regular season. Volpe and Jose Caballero are likely to split reps at shortstop to close out the season.

Brooks Lee SS | MIN
Twins' Brooks Lee: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Lee is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.
Lee has a .178/.240/.289 slash line through 13 games in September and will take a seat Tuesday after starting the previous four contests. Ryan Fitzgerald will instead start at shortstop and bat eighth versus New York righty Cam Schlittler.

Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL
Braves' Ha-Seong Kim: Taking seat for nightcap
Kim is out of the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals.
Kim started at shortstop in the matinee and went 2-for-4 with two runs scored. The 29-year-old will head to the bench for the nightcap, allowing Nick Allen to pick up a start at shortstop.

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Lands on injured list
The Angels placed Neto on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Sept. 13, due to a left hand strain.
The 24-year-old shortstop hasn't seen the field since Thursday due to the injury. While Neto will technically be eligible to return for the final six contests of the regular season, the Angels will opt to shut down for the rest of the year, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. The 24-year-old will close out 2025 with a .257/.319/.474 slash line, 26 homers, 26 stolen bases, 62 RBI and 82 runs in 128 games.

Bo Bichette SS | TOR
Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Could be back in time for playoffs
Bichette could return in time for the postseason after a second opinion confirmed that the PCL sprain in his left knee will not require surgery, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
Bichette last played Sept. 6 and while he won't play again during the regular season, it seems there is optimism the shortstop can return in time for the playoffs. The Blue Jays have been using Andres Gimenez at shortstop of late in Bichette's stead.
