  • Nick Sogard SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Idle Sunday

    Sogard is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Sogard had started at right field or second base in four of the Red Sox's last five games, but he'll hit the bench Sunday while Rob Refsnyder and Romy Gonzalez occupy those respective positions. Since being called up from Triple-A Worcester on Sept. 3, Sogard has gone 7-for-21 with two doubles, two runs, one stolen base and four RBI in six games. He could continue to see fairly steady at-bats until the Red Sox get Wilyer Abreu (calf) back from the injured list.

  • Nathan Eaton LF | BOS

    Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Idle for series finale

    Eaton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Eaton will take a seat for the series finale after he made starts out of the outfield in each of the last four games while going 5-for-12 with a home run, a double, a walk, a stolen base, two RBI and three runs. Boston will go with a starting outfield of Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Rob Refsnyder from left to right Sunday.

  • 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.

  • Framber Valdez SP | HOU

    Astros' Framber Valdez: Falls to Atlanta

    Valdez (12-10) took the loss Sunday against Atlanta, allowing five runs on six hits and four walks over four innings. He struck out two.

    Valdez's rough stretch continued Sunday -- the southpaw is now 1-6 with a 6.41 ERA in his last eight outings. Overall, Valdez's ERA sits at 3.59 through 29 starts (180.1 innings) this season with a 1.22 WHIP and 173:62 K:BB. Valdez will look to right the ship his next time out, currently scheduled for next week at home against Seattle.

  • Royals' Salvador Perez: Drives in five Sunday

    Perez went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer and five total RBI in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Phillies.

    Perez extended Kansas City's lead to 6-2 with a homer off Aaron Nola in the sixth inning, his 28th this year, before adding two more RBI with a base hit in the seventh. Perez now has three homers and eight RBI in his last two games after going just 2-for-23 with no RBI in his previous six contests. Overall, the 35-year-old veteran is slashing .237/.278/.450 with 89 RBI and 51 runs scored across 589 plate appearances this season.

  • Royals' Noah Cameron: Sharp in eighth win

    Cameron (8-7) earned the win Sunday over the Phillies, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk across seven innings. He struck out seven.

    Cameron looked like he was headed for an early exit after giving up home runs to Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto in the first inning. However, the left-hander rebounded and held the Phillies scoreless over his final six frames, allowing just two more hits in an eventual 10-3 Kansas City victory. Cameron has gone seven innings in back-to-back starts, allowing just four runs while striking out 15 in that span. He's lowered his ERA to 2.98 with a 1.09 WHIP and 103:37 K:BB through 22 starts (127 innings) this year. Cameron is tentatively lined up to face the Blue Jays at home in his next outing.

  • Victor Robles CF | SEA

    Mariners' Victor Robles: Out of Sunday's lineup

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

    Robles started the previous two games and will hit the bench Sunday after going 1-for-6 with three strikeouts and a caught stealing. Dominic Canzone will start in right field and bat seventh against veteran righty Kyle Hendricks.

  • Angels' Logan Davidson: Making fifth straight start

    Davidson will start at first base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Davidson will draw his fifth straight start at first base after going 3-for-15 with a home run and a double over the past four games. The Angels appear content to give Davidson a look in a near-everyday role at the position until Nolan Schanuel (wrist) is cleared to make his return from the injured list.

  • Oswald Peraza 3B | LAA

    Angels' Oswald Peraza: Losing out on everyday role

    Peraza is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Peraza will take a seat for the second day in a row and for the third time in four games. Though Peraza had earned regular starts at first base to begin the month, he appears to have since been supplanted by Logan Davidson as the Angels' top option at the position.

  • Luis Rengifo 3B | LAA

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Sitting in second straight

    Rengifo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    For the second day in a row, Rengifo will take a seat in favor of rookie Christian Moore, who will cover second base and bat fifth in the series finale. At 69-80, the Angels are effectively eliminated from playoff contention, so it wouldn't be surprising if the club moved Rengifo into a utility role over the final two weeks in order to open up regular playing time for Moore, who is viewed as the organization's long-term future at the keystone.
