  • Chase Meidroth 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Flashes power and speed in rout

    Meidroth went 1-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Tigers.

    Meidroth stole a base and came around to score in the second inning before launching a two-run homer in the fifth. The 25-year-old has gone hitless in four of his past 10 games, but he has managed five extra-base hits, seven RBI and nine runs scored in that span. For the year, he's slashing .268/.343/.401 with 15 home runs, 58 RBI, 87 runs scored and four steals across 629 plate appearances.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Powers up Sunday

    Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with two home runs, one double, five RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Marlins.

    Cronenworth hasn't displayed much power overall this year, but he tapped into some Sunday. He has gone 16-for-40 (.400) during his 10-game hitting streak, adding nine RBI in that span. For the season, the veteran infielder is batting .229 with a .637 OPS, seven homers, 36 RBI, 45 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and nine stolen bases over 103 contests. He is still likely to fall short of the 10-homer mark for the first time since his rookie year in the shortened 2020 campaign.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Cracks solo shot in loss

    Altuve went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday in a 4-2 loss to Atlanta.

    The veteran second baseman snapped a lengthy power outage, as he had lost gone deep Sept. 3 versus the White Sox. Altuve has a modest five-game hitting streak going, though Sunday marked his first RBI since Sept. 4 against Arizona. The 36-year-old has shown signs of decline in 2026, slashing a pedestrian .249/.307/.402 with 16 homers, 45 RBI, five stolen bases and 67 runs scored over 545 trips to the plate.

  • Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Could return Tuesday

    Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Chisholm (thumb) could be reinstated from the injured list as early as Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    The second baseman landed on the shelf after sustaining a thumb sprain Sept. 8 versus Colorado, and it appears he'll be able to rejoin the Yankees after missing a little more than the 10-day minimum. Chisholm had a hot start to September prior to the injury, going 6-for-18 with a homer, two walks and three runs through five games.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: On bench Sunday

    Edwards (thumb) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Edwards departed Saturday's game due to discomfort in his left thumb, which was initially checked out after he hit a foul ball. The 27-year-old returned from the injured list last weekend after missing two weeks due to a sprain in the same thumb, so he may have aggravated the injury. Javier Sanoja will shift to second base while Graham Pauley starts at the hot corner.

  • Rays' Ben Williamson: Back from IL

    Tampa Bay reinstated Williamson (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

    Williamson has been out since Aug. 7 due to a hamstring strain. Before being sidelined, the 25-year-old was slashing .247/.309/.332 with three homers, 26 RBI and eight stolen bases in 270 plate appearances. The Rays designated Jake Fraley for assignment to make room for WIlliamson to rejoin the club.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Brandon Lowe: Hits clutch homer in win

    Lowe went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Royals.

    Lowe hit what proved to be the game-winning blast in the bottom of the eighth inning. It continued a strong run by the 32-year-old, who's hit safely in 10 of his past 11 games while going deep in four of his last five. For the year, he leads all second basemen with 33 long balls while slashing .262/.332/.494 with 93 RBI, 92 runs scored and two steals across 630 plate appearances.

  • Donovan Walton 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Donovan Walton: Perfect at plate in loss

    Walton went 3-for-3 with a home run, four RBI and a stolen base in Saturdays' 12-6 loss to the Guardians.

    Walton did all he could in a losing effort, driving in runs on three separate occasions while tallying a homer and a steal in the same game for the first time in his career. The 32-year-old journeyman's production has been a mixed bag over his past 10 games -- he's gone hitless six times but has gone deep three times and recorded three multi-hit performances. For the season, he's slashing .269/.367/.458 with eight long balls, 29 RBI, 35 runs scored and three stolen bases across a career-high 247 plate appearances.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Logs steal in loss

    Keaschall went 1-for-5 with a double, a stolen base, one RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Angels.

    Keaschall opened the scoring with an RBI double in the third inning, then swiped third base and scored on a groundout. There's been no slowing down for Keaschall late in the season -- he has gone 26-for-80 (.325) over his last 21 contests, a span that includes eight multi-hit efforts. For the season, he's batting .278 with a .757 OPS, 19 steals, nine home runs, 46 RBI, 76 runs scored, 26 doubles and one triple over 146 games.

  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Two steals in Saturday's win

    Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

    Cronenworth has hit safely in nine straight games, going 13-for-36 (.361) in that span. He has just one extra-base hit, a triple, during the streak. The infielder is now batting .223 with a .608 OPS, five home runs, nine steals, 31 RBI, 42 runs scored, 11 doubles and a triple over 102 contests this season.
