  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Homers again Sunday

    Henderson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox.

    Henderson's sixth-inning homer gave the Orioles their margin of victory. The shortstop has gone deep four times over his last five games, adding eight RBI in that span. For the season, Henderson is slashing .288/.374/.562 with 33 homers, 77 RBI, 98 runs scored and 14 stolen bases over 123 contests. He should continue to be heavily involved in run production from the No. 3 spot in Baltimore's order.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Nationals' CJ Abrams: Swipes three bags

    Abrams went 2-for-4 with a walk and three stolen bases in Sunday's win against the Phillies.

    Abrams wreaked havoc on the basepaths, swiping three bases in a game for the third time this season. The 23-year-old entered Sunday's contest mired in an 0-for-14 slump with five strikeouts over his past four games, part of a rough August in which he has batted .189 with four extra-base hits and five stolen bases in 15 games. The young shortstop has put together a well-rounded season despite his recent struggles, batting .248 with 17 home runs, 59 RBI, 71 runs scored and 25 steals in 115 games played.

    Edwards continues to dominate on the basepaths, notching his eighth theft over his past seven games. The 25-year-old rookie has only one extra-base hit during that span, but his lofty .441 OBP has given him plenty of baserunning opportunities. Edwards is up to 21 steals in 23 attempts this season, slashing .350/.435/.427 with 24 runs scored and an impressive 26:29 BB:K in 43 games.

For the season, he's at a .277/.327/.423 slash line with 11 homers, 43 RBI, 59 runs scored and 10 stolen bases through 114 games.
