Jackson went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-8 loss to the Astros.

Jackson launched a 439-foot blast in the fourth inning before adding an RBI single in the eighth. The 25-year-old has made an immediate impact with the Orioles, slashing .339/.361/.492 with five extra-base hits, nine RBI and eight runs across 61 plate appearances while starting 15 of 20 games since his debut Aug. 1.

Abreu earned the save in Saturday's 9-8 win over the Orioles, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Abreu was called on to protect a one-run lead in the ninth and needed just nine pitches to notch his second save in as many days. The 28-year-old has now thrown 10 consecutive scoreless outings to start August, posting a 13:3 K:BB during that stretch. For the season, he owns a 1.52 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 89:25 K:BB across 59.1 innings while converting all three of his save chances since Josh Hader (shoulder) went on the injured list.

Schanuel exited Saturday's game versus the Cubs due to left wrist soreness.

Schanuel flied out to right field in the bottom of the fourth inning and was later removed from the contest in the top of the sixth with the Angels trailing 6-0. He went 0-for-2 at the plate prior to his departure. Consider Schanuel day-to-day ahead of Sunday's series finale with the Cubs.

Lewis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the White Sox.

Lewis struck out in each of his first three plate appearances, but he managed to get on the board in the eighth inning on a blast to left-center field. Lewis is now up to eight home runs on the season, three of which have come over his last six games, during which he's gone 7-for-22 (.318) with one steal, five runs and seven RBI.

Abel (2-3) took the loss against the White Sox on Saturday, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two across three innings.

Abel was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul ahead Saturday's start, his first in a Twins' uniform since being traded by the Phillies in late July. Abel yielded nine runs in his last two starts with Philadelphia, and that trend continued with his new team as he gave up six runs in the second inning, highlighted by a Colson Montgomery grand slam. Abel now sits at a 6.43 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 28 major-league innings this season. With Pablo Lopez (shoulder), Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) and David Festa (shoulder) still on the IL, Abel is slated to make at least a couple more turns in the Twins' rotation. Things won't get easier for Abel, as he's lined up to take on the Padres at home next weekend.

Robert went 2-for-4 with a steal, a solo home run and an additional run scored during Saturday's 7-3 win over Minnesota.

Robert supplied the White Sox an insurance run in the eighth inning on a solo blast to left-center field. He also recorded his 33rd steal in the third frame, which is sixth most in the majors this season. Robert is now on a six-game hitting streak and has an .857 OPS with 11 steals, five home runs and 18 RBI over 116 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Martin (5-9) came away with the win against the Twins on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out six across five innings.

Martin yielded at least two baserunners in two of the five frames he pitched, but he was able to limit the damage to two solo home runs from Kody Clemens and Matt Wallner in the second and fourth innings, respectively. Saturday marked just the fourth time Martin has recorded at least six strikeouts this season, and he has yielded three earned runs or less in five of six starts since the All-Star break. He now sits at a 3.93 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 80:35 K:BB across 112.1 innings this season. Martin will look for win number six in his next start, tentatively slated for next week at home against the Yankees.

Montgomery went 2-for-4 with a grand slam during Saturday's 7-3 win over the Twins.

Montgomery put the exclamation point on the White Sox's six-run second inning when he cleared the bases on a 412-foot blast to right-center field. Saturday marked Montgomery's eighth multi-hit game of the season, and he's hit home runs in consecutive games on six occasions this season, including two instances in which he's homered in three straight games. He now has a .229/.288/.528 slash line with 12 homers and 34 RBI across 156 plate appearances this season.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Royals.

Torkelson put the Tigers ahead 2-1 with a 408-foot homer in the fourth inning and later added a single in the sixth. The 25-year-old has hit safely in seven of his past 10 games, though he's managed just three extra-base hits, three RBI and five runs scored in that span. For the season, he's slashing .244/.337/.479 with 27 homers, 69 RBI, 70 runs scored and two steals across 522 plate appearances.

Paddack (5-11) earned the win against the Royals on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with one strikeout over five innings.

Paddack kept the Royals in check despite landing just 37 of 62 pitches for strikes and generating just one whiff. It was a solid rebound after the 29-year-old surrendered eight runs Sunday, though he's managed only nine punchouts across four August outings. He'll take a 4.98 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 97:32 K:BB over 137.1 innings into a road rematch with Kansas City next weekend.
