  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Pilfers pair of bases

    Keaschall went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases and a run scored in Sunday's 5-1 victory at Kansas City.

    The Minnesota rookie was credited with a swiping home on double-steal attempt in the sixth to give his team a 4-0 lead. Since returning from a forearm injury Aug. 5, Keaschall has produced like a star for the Twins, batting .313 (36-for-115) with four homers, six steals, 20 RBI and 15 runs scored across 29 contests. Overall, the 23-year-old is now slashing .321/.405/.485 with 11 stolen bases, 22 RBI and 19 runs scored in 153 total plate appearances.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Reaches 20-homer mark

    Sosa went 2-for-4 with a homer, a walk, three RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-4 victory over the Tigers.

    The 25-year-old Venezuelan walloped a titanic 451-foot solo shot off Detroit starter Charlie Morton in the third to tie the contest at 3-3. Sosa has been a great source of power since the All-Star break, launching 11 long balls while batting .256 (44-for-172) with 34 RBI and 23 runs scored in 44 games. Across 485 total plate appearances, the Chicago infielder is now slashing .263/.295/.435 with 65 RBI and 50 runs scored.

  • Luis Rengifo 3B | LAA

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Resting up Sunday

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

    Rengifo will get the afternoon off Sunday after he started in each of the Angels' last eight contests. Chris Taylor will fill in for Rengifo at second base and will bat fifth.

  • Padres' Jose Iglesias: On bench for third straight vs. RHP

    Iglesias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Iglesias will hit the bench while Jake Cronenworth shifts over from shortstop to make his first start at shortstop since the 2022 season. With Xander Bogaerts (foot) out indefinitely, the Padres could prioritize offense over defense by phasing out Iglesias and leaning more heavily on Cronenworth and Luis Arraez in the middle infield, which would open up a regular spot in the lineup for the hot-hitting Gavin Sheets. Iglesias had already sat out the Padres' previous two matchups against right-handed starters, though San Diego went with Mason McCoy rather than Cronenworth at shortstop in both of those contests.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | HOU

    Astros' Ramon Urias: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    Urias started five straight games from Aug. 31 to Sept. 4, but he finds himself on the bench Sunday for the third straight game while in the midst of a 5-for-28 (.179) slump. Mauricio Dubon is receiving the start at second base in the series finale for Houston.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | KC

    Royals' Adam Frazier: Left out of lineup Sunday

    Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    After starting the last five games and going 3-for-16 with one home run, one double, two walks, three runs and two RBI, Frazier will receive a breather. The Royals will go with Michael Massey at second base and Randal Grichuk in left field in the series finale.

  • Hye Seong Kim 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Third straight start vs. RHP

    Kim will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    After being activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Kim came off the bench for the ensuing two contests, but he's now started in three straight games with right-handers on the mound for the opposition. The rookie could end up holding down a strong-side platoon role at the keystone until Tommy Edman (ankle) returns from the IL.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Gimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Gimenez started the previous 20 games and will receive a day off after posting a .185/.243/.292 slash line during that stretch. Davis Schneider is manning the keystone in Sunday's series finale for Toronto.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Pops two-run double in win

    Schneemann started at second base and went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rays. He was also caught stealing.

    Schneemann was integral to the win, which vaulted Cleveland above Tampa Bay in the postseason chase. He popped a two-run, bases-loaded double to left-center to put the Guardians on top in the fourth inning. He later led off the ninth with a single and scored the game-winning run. The offense came out of nowhere for Schneemann, who entered the contest on a 1-for-25 skid over the previous eight games.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Resting Sunday

    Holliday is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    The Orioles will give Holliday a couple of days to catch his breath with a team day off coming Monday. Holliday had made 12 consecutive starts at second base, but he'll yield to Luis Vazquez on Sunday.
