    Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Notches steal in loss

    Tovar went 2-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    This was Tovar's fourth multi-hit effort over eight games in August. He's now batting .364 (12-for-33) for the month while adding six doubles, five RBI and two steals. Overall, the shortstop appears to be settling in nicely during the second half after an injury-plagued first three months of the season. He's now slashing .274/.316/.452 with six homers, 20 RBI, 27 runs scored and four steals over 50 contests in 2025.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Gets on base four times

    Perdomo went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Rockies.

    Perdomo has hit safely in eight of his last nine games and has a trio of three-hit efforts in that span. The shortstop's steady hitting has helped him maintain a starting role for the vast majority of the season. He's up to a .283/.383/.429 slash line with 11 home runs, 75 RBI, 64 runs scored and 17 stolen bases through 116 contests, putting him on pace for a career year across the board in his fourth big-league campaign.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Three hits, steal in win

    Swanson went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Cardinals.

    Swanson had gone 13 games without a multi-hit effort, batting just .174 (8-for-46) with two homers, eight RBI and 19 strikeouts in that span. He was seeing the ball well in this contest, which also allowed him to swipe his first bag since July 22 versus the Royals. The recent slump now has him at a .250/.297/.415 slash line with 18 homers, 55 RBI, 65 runs scored and nine steals across 114 games this season.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Homers in loss

    Henderson went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 11-3 loss to the Athletics.

The shortstop has hit safely in 11 of his past 14 games, tallying three homers, 14 RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases during that stretch. For the year, he's slashing .284/.354/.466 with 14 long balls, 50 RBI, 66 runs scored and 15 steals across 458 plate appearances.

    Walls was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Mariners due to a left groin injury, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

In 18 games since the All-Star break, Walls has slashed .236/.263/.418 with three steals, seven doubles, one home run and nine RBI in 59 plate appearances.
