Contreras started at first base and went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 4-1 win over Kansas City.

Contreras was activated off the injured list Sunday, and the Red Sox felt confident using him in the field. In addition to scoring Boston's final run, Contreras showed the hamstring wasn't an issue in the fourth inning, when he reached base on a throwing error and advanced to second.

Bazzana went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, three RBI, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Sunday's 9-2 win over Minnesota.

Bazzana helped increase the Guardians' lead with a run-scoring single in the fourth inning followed by a two-run homer in the sixth. He's up to 12 homers with 19 steals in 112 games. Just as it looked like the rookie was starting to fade, Bazzana's bat has awoken in September. Over the last eight games, Bazzana has gone 12-for-26 (.462) with five walks, two doubles, three home runs, 12 RBI and eight runs scored.

Adell went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Twins.

Adell hit a solo home run in the third inning and then doubled home a run in the ninth. The homer was his 21st of the season and snapped a 19-game drought. Since coming over from the Angels at the trade deadline, Adell has a .239/.316/.418 slash line with five home runs, nine doubles, 26 RBI and one steal over 36 contests.

Jung went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over Arizona.

Jung singled home a run during the Rangers' three-run fifth inning to increase their lead. This was his second game back from a calf injury, and Jung posted a second consecutive two-hit game with an RBI and a run scored. After a promising first half in which he posted an .819 OPS, Jung has been limited to just seven games since the All-Star break.

Seager went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

Seager tallied a trio of hits, kicking things off with a two-run blast in the first inning. The veteran shortstop has been on a power surge in September, crushing five homers through 12 contests this month. On the year, Seager is slashing .231/.323/.437 with 18 homers, 43 RBI, 54 runs and a stolen base in 90 games.

Latz picked up the save Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He allowed two runs on three hits and an intentional walk while striking out one over one inning.

Tasked with protecting a three-run lead, Latz played with fire by surrendering a pair of RBI doubles, though he ultimately shut the door and secured the victory. Sunday marked the southpaw's second save of September and 29th of the campaign in 32 attempts. Latz owns a strong 2.06 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 73:21 K:BB over 65.2 frames.

Arozarena went 3-for-5 with two homers and four total RBI in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Athletics.

Arozarena had a huge day at Sutter Health Park, including a two-run homer in the third inning and a solo blast in the seventh frame. The left fielder has swung a hot bat in September, slashing .298/.393/.596 with four homers, 13 RBI, 11 runs and two stolen bases in 12 contests. While 2026 hasn't gone as planned for the Mariners, Arozarena has delivered a strong campaign with a .276/.373/.476 slash line, 25 homers, 75 RBI, 99 runs and 22 stolen bases across 142 games.

Gelof went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI, two additional runs scored and two walks in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Mariners.

Gelof opened the scoring with a solo homer that left his bat at 106.4 mph down the left-field line in the first inning. The 26-year-old had been in a mini-funk entering Sunday, going 3-for-27 (.111) over his past seven contests. On the year, Gelof is slashing .252/.319/.461 with 18 homers, 46 RBI, 68 runs and 14 stolen bases in 99 games.

Butler went 2-for-4 with two homers, four total RBI and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Mariners.

Butler blasted off twice, driving a solo shot in the first frame and then emerging as the hero with a walk-off two-run homer. Sunday marked the outfielder's first multi-homer effort of the season, with 11 of his 16 long balls coming after the All-Star break. Overall, Butler is slashing .230/.321/.387 with 58 RBI, 57 runs and 10 stolen bases in 142 contests.

Manager Joe Espada said Sunday that he hopes Correa (ankle) will play "a game or two" with Triple-A Sugar Land this week, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

It will be the final week of the Triple-A regular season, so the Astros are hoping to get Correa into some minor-league action just ahead of the finish line. The veteran infielder has been sidelined since early May due to ankle surgery and said at the start of September that he had been sprinting at 95 percent effort, and it appears he's continued to progress in his rehab program. Rejoining the AL West-leading Astros during the final week of the regular season next week appears plausible for Correa.
