  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Two hits, steal in win

    Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 14-3 win over the Dodgers.

    Perdomo supplied a two-run double during the Diamondbacks' eight-run second inning. He had gone seven games without a multi-hit effort prior to Sunday, batting .136 (3-for-22) in that span. The shortstop is enjoying a breakout campaign, slashing .278/.345/.393 over 73 contests after missing over two months with a torn meniscus in his right knee early in the season. Perdomo has added three home runs, 29 RBI, 47 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 288 plate appearances.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Matches career best with four hits

    Swanson went 4-for-6 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win against Washington.

    Swanson matched his career-best mark with four hits Sunday and has now recorded an RBI in six consecutive games. After a lackluster start to the season, the 30-year-old has quietly provided excellent fantasy value since Aug. 1, batting .287 with 10 extra-base hits, 21 runs scored, 22 RBI and eight stolen bases in 106 plate appearances.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Goes deep Sunday

    Lindor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

    Lindor struck out three times but got a hold of one in the fourth to put the Mets up 1-0. He's now reached safely in 30 straight games and is one home run away from his second consecutive campaign with 30-plus homers. Lindor is enjoying one of the best offensive seasons of his 10-year career and now slashing .269/.339/.492 with 29 homers, 80 RBI, 94 runs, 25 steals and a 50:115 BB:K in 625 plate appearances.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Getting Sunday off

    Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    He will retreat to the bench while Tommy Edman picks up the start at shortstop Sunday. Since returning from the injured list Aug. 7 after recovering from forearm tightness, Rojas has sizzled at the plate with a .349/.364/.460 slash line to go with 10 RBI and 10 runs in 19 games.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Getting afternoon off

    Crawford is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Crawford will receive a breather for the series finale after he had started in each of the Mariners' three games since he returned from the injured list Wednesday. Leo Rivas will step in at shortstop for Crawford, while Victor Robles will serve as the Mariners' leadoff batter.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Returning to bench Sunday

    Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Moore had started each of the last four games while going 3-for-11 with two doubles and a stolen base, but he'll retreat to the bench while the Angels send right-hander Caden Dana to the hill. The utility man should continue to pick up regular starts against left-handed pitching, but his playing time versus righties may be more sporadic in September.

  • Tristan Gray SS | MIN

    Athletics' Tristan Gray: Joins big club

    The Athletics recalled Gray from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

    The 28-year-old was claimed off waivers by Oakland on Tuesday, and he'll move up to the big leagues Sunday with MLB rosters expanding to 28 players. Gray has been productive at the Triple-A level this season with a .249/.322/.472 slash line and 18 homers in 103 games.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Padres' Nick Ahmed: Links up with San Diego

    Ahmed signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Sunday.

    The 34-year-old elected free agency last week after being designated for assignment by the Giants, and he'll continue his 2024 tour of the NL West with San Diego. Ahmed has played in 69 games between the Dodgers and Giants this season and has a .232/.271/.300 slash line with two home runs and two steals.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Sitting in series finale

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    After starting in each of the Guardians' previous six matchups with right-handed pitchers, the lefty-hitting Schneemann will retreat to the bench Sunday while righty Mitch Keller takes the hill for Pittsburgh. Lane Thomas will start in center field as a replacement in the lineup for Schneemann, who closed August with a .294/.373/.373 slash line to go with one home run and two stolen bases.

  • Darren Baker 2B | CHW

    Nationals' Darren Baker: Receives call-up

    The Nationals selected Baker's contract from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

    The son of longtime manager and former MLB outfielder Dusty Baker, Darren will get his first taste of the big leagues at age 25. The left-handed Baker lacks power (no home runs in 483 plate appearances at Triple-A), but he makes good contact (18.8 percent strikeout rate, .285 average) and brings speed to the table (38 steals in 43 attempts). He'll serve in a utility role for the Nationals in September and saw action at second base, left field and center field for the Triple-A club this season.
