  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Triple, home run in win

    Witt went 2-for-5 with a triple, a solo home run and a second run scored in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Phillies.

    Witt led off the Royals' four-run sixth inning with his sixth triple of the season before extending the lead to 9-3 with an opposite-field shot off Max Lazar, his 22nd homer this year. Witt had gone six games without an extra-base hit prior to Sunday, going just 4-for-22 (.182) in that span. Overall, he's slashing .292/.350/.501 with 79 RBI, 94 runs scored and 36 steals through 631 plate appearances this season.

  • Ryan Ritter SS | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Ritter: Back in action Sunday

    Ritter (undisclosed) will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Ritter was held out of the lineup for each of the previous five games due to an unspecified issue, though he was able to make an appearance off the bench in Saturday's 11-3 loss. He reached base in his lone plate appearance when he was hit by a pitch, but he was able to stay in the game and is now ready to reclaim a starting role in the series finale.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Remaining on bench Sunday

    Neto (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Neto sustained a hand injury while taking a swing Thursday and will sit Sunday for the third consecutive game. The Angels have a team day off Monday, so the shortstop will have an extra day to recover before Tuesday's series opener in Milwaukee. Denzer Guzman will pick up another start at shortstop for the Halos.

  • Joseph Ortiz 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Ortiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals.

    Ortiz started the past 11 games after coming off the injured list to begin September, but he'll hit the bench Sunday after posting a .206/.229/.206 slash line during that span. Andruw Monasterio will take over at shortstop after delivering a walk-off single Saturday.

  • Luke Williams SS | ATL

    Braves' Luke Williams: Back in majors

    Atlanta selected Williams' contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

    The utility man was outrighted to Gwinnett last weekend after being designated for assignment by Atlanta, but he's back in the big leagues with Jake Fraley (oblique) landing on the injured list. Williams has gone 4-for-30 with five stolen bases in 44 MLB games this season and is unlikely to see much playing time while up with the big club.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Swipes base Saturday

    Swanson went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and two RBI in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Rays.

    Swanson swiped his 16th bag of the season in 19 attempts, and he also increased his RBI total to 74. The shortstop set a new career high last year with 19 steals, and that number is within striking distance if he stays active on the basepaths down the stretch in 2025. Swanson is also sitting at 22 home runs this season, which is five away from tying his career best.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Tallies two RBI

    Pena went 1-for-5 with two RBI on Saturday against Atlanta.

    Pena delivered a two-RBI double in the second inning to put the Astros up 3-0. It was his fourth double and fifth extra-base hit across 11 games in September. He's also driven in six, scored four runs and stolen a base in that span.

  • Jared Triolo 3B | PIT

    Pirates' Jared Triolo: Goes deep late in win

    Triolo went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a 5-1 win against the Nationals on Saturday.

    Triolo capped a late Pittsburgh offensive surge with a 409-foot solo blast in the ninth inning. The long ball was the only extra-base hit by either team in a game that featured strong starting pitching on both sides. Triolo finished with his third straight multi-hit performance, and he's gone 6-for-14 with three extra-base hits during that span.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Hits 10th homer

    Crawford went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Angels.

    Crawford connected in the fourth inning for his 10th homer of the season, though this was his first since Aug. 3 versus the Rangers. The shortstop has four multi-hit efforts over his last seven games, going 9-for-25 (.360) in that span. For the season, he's at a .264/.353/.362 slash line with 51 RBI, 64 runs scored, eight stolen bases and 22 doubles across 145 contests.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Two hits, stolen base amidst slump

    Henderson went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Toronto.

    Henderson is still mired in quite the cold spell so far in September, batting .143 (5-for-35) with a lone RBI in his first 10 games of the month. The star shortstop has taken a step back this season following an outstanding 2024 regular season, when posted a career-best .893 OPS over 159 outings, but he still has a realistic shot at recording his second straight 20-homer, 20-steal campaign. Henderson is hitting .270 with 16 long balls, 62 RBI, 81 runs scored and 23 pilfers across 525 at-bats.
