Henderson went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and one stolen base in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Rockies.

Henderson entered Sunday in a bit of a slump, having gone just 7-for-50 (.140) over his previous 13 contests. He was able to break that with a multi-hit effort, though he's now gone nine games without an extra-base hit. The shortstop is at a .276/.363/.527 slash line with 33 home runs, 16 steals, 80 RBI, 102 runs scored, 24 doubles and six triples over 136 games this season. He doesn't appear comfortable in the heart of the order -- Henderson is batting .248 across 39 games from third and fourth in the order (combined), while he's batting .287 over 97 games when atop the lineup.

Thomas went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.

Thomas was one of five Guardians to post multiple hits in the win. This was his third multi-hit effort in 29 games with the team since he was traded from the Nationals -- Thomas has hit .176 as a Guardian. That has dropped his slash line to .236/.316/.366 with eight home runs, 44 RBI, 52 runs scored and 31 stolen bases across 106 contests this season.

Gimenez went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.

Gimenez gave the Guardians an early lead with his first-inning solo shot, one of four homers for the team in the win. The second baseman has struggled to hit for power in 2024, but he has two homers over his last three games. He's gone 10-for-39 (.256) over his last 10 contests and now has a .251/.301/.335 slash line with seven homers, 54 RBI, 58 runs scored and 25 stolen bases through 129 games this season.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.

Ramirez's homer was the 250th of his career. He ranks second only to Jim Thome (337) in Cleveland franchise history. Ramirez hit .269 in August but made an impact with six homers and 14 stolen bases over 29 contests for the month and will be chasing his first 40-homer season in September. Overall, the third baseman has a .275/.331/.531 slash line with 34 homers, 105 RBI, 100 runs scored. 34 stolen bases, 31 doubles and one triple through 134 contests this season. Through Sunday's action, only Ramirez and Aaron Judge have 100 each of RBI and runs scored in 2024.

Herrin (arm) struck out two and hit one batter in a scoreless and hitless inning during Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.

Herrin exited Saturday's appearance after being struck in the arm by a batted ball, but he's no worse for wear after returning to the mound a day later. He's pitched five of the last seven days, so he may still be due some standard rest in the coming days. Herrin has been effective while seeing time in some high-leverage spots with a 2.10 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB over 55.2 innings while adding 14 holds.

Rooker went 4-for-5 with an RBI single in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

The Athletics stranded 11 men overall Sunday, but Rooker went 2-for-3 with runners in scoring position. That included a fifth-inning single that plated Jacob Wilson with Oakland's first run of the day, pushing Rooker's RBI total to eight over the last eight games. The multi-hit tally was also Rooker's third consecutive, and he now boasts a .295 average and elite .951 OPS across 503 plate appearances this season.

Brown went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple, a walk and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

Brown provided one of four multi-hit efforts on the afternoon for the Athletics, and his first triple of 2024 drove home Shea Langeliers in the 10th inning to snap a 2-2 tie. Brown now has multi-hit tallies in four consecutive starts, with Sunday's three-bagger his third extra-base hit in that stretch. His hot bat dates further back, however -- factoring in Sunday's production, the veteran outfielder boasts a .375 average across his last nine games.

Butler went 4-for-5 with a double and a stolen base in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

The red-hot leadoff man kept on wreaking havoc Sunday, posting his fifth multi-hit effort in the last six games and lacing a double for the third straight contest in the process. Butler also extended his hitting streak to 11 games, a stretch during which he's now hitting a blistering .435 with 11 extra-base hits, 13 RBI, two walks, three steals and 13 runs across 48 plate appearances.

Gelof went 3-for-5 with an RBI double, another two-bagger, a stolen base and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

Gelof was part of an afternoon that featured plenty of squandered opportunities with men on base by the Athletics, who parlayed 16 hits into only four runs. However, the young infielder did cash in on one of the two times he came to bat with runners in scoring position, driving in Seth Brown with his 10th-inning double to extend the Athletics' lead to 4-2 at the time. The multi-hit effort was Gelof's third in the last eight games, one of the better stretches of hitting for him during a season in which his slash line still stands at an anemic but moderately improving .206/.270/.371.

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.

Rojas has four multi-hit efforts over his last 12 games, going 9-for-32 (.281) with three extra-base hits and three steals in that span. The infielder hasn't been a big threat on the basepaths this year, going 9-for-13 on stolen-base attempts. Rojas has added a .234/.315/.351 slash line, seven home runs, 26 RBI, 44 runs scored, 18 doubles and two triples over 410 plate appearances, mainly serving as a strong-side platoon option at third base.
