  • Vaughn Grissom SS | LAA

    Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Placed on IL at Triple-A

    Grissom was placed on the 7-day injured list by Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday due to right foot inflammation, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Grissom lost the second base gig during spring training and has spent the entire 2025 season at Triple-A, where he owns a .270/.342/.441 slash line with 13 home runs, 48 RBI, 69 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a 37:73 BB:K across 418 trips to the plate. If he's able to get healthy, Grissom could be a candidate to join the Red Sox when rosters expand in September.

  • Javier Sanoja SS | MIA

    Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Drawing third start in four games

    Sanoja will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    The 22-year-old will occupy the hot corner for the third time in four games and appears to have settled in as the Marlins' preferred option at the position with Graham Pauley (oblique) on the injured list. Sanoja may move back into a utility role before long, however, as Connor Norby (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday and could be ready to return from the IL next week.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Swats 22nd homer

    Chisholm went 2-for-5 with a solo home run against Tampa Bay in a 13-3 win Tuesday.

    Chisholm's third-inning solo shot was one of nine homers the Yankees clubbed in the contest, tying a franchise record. The long ball was Chisholm's third in his past seven games, a span in which he's also stolen seven bases. While he's batting a modest .238 through 390 plate appearances this season, Chisholm has offered plenty of fantasy value with 22 home runs, 21 thefts, 57 RBI and 56 runs scored while having eligibility in most formats at second base, third base and the outfield.

  • Dylan Moore 2B | TEX

    Mariners' Dylan Moore: Picking up second straight start

    Moore will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    With Dominic Canzone tending to a bruised arm, Moore will draw a second straight start in right field, after he went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 loss. The Mariners have faced left-handed starters Tuesday and Wednesday, so the right-handed-hitting Moore may have been included in the lineup more so for matchup reasons than due to any major concern about the health of the left-handed-hitting Canzone, who should see the bulk of the starts in right field versus right-handed pitching.

  • Jeff McNeil 2B | ATH

    Mets' Jeff McNeil: Stays hot at plate

    McNeil went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a two-RBI double and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 8-1 win over Washington.

    McNeil delivered his third multi-hit performance in his last four games. His two-RBI double came off Nationals starter Jake Irvin while his ninth-inning homer was against Jackson Rutledge. McNeil has had an excellent August, slashing .302/.353/.429 with a 5:8 K:BB over 16 games.

  • Thomas Saggese SS | STL

    Cardinals' Thomas Saggese: Tallies three hits

    Saggese went 3-for-4 with a steal, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Marlins.

    Saggese notched a base hit in each of his first three at-bats, though the exit velocity did not top 80 mph on any of his knocks. He's been making good contact in August with a .300 batting average in 15 games and figures to see extended playing time in the short term with Brendan Donovan (groin) on the injured list while Nolan Gorman mans third base in the absence of Nolan Arenado (shoulder).

  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: Three hits, steal in narrow win

    Albies went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 11-10 win over the White Sox.

    Albies racked up at least three hits for the fourth time this year, and the steal was his 12th of the season. The second baseman has been a massive disappointment at the plate -- he has a .634 OPS in 2025 -- but he's at least fared slightly better over the past month of action. Over his last 118 at-bats (31 games), Albies is hitting .263 with three long balls, five doubles, 21 RBI and five pilfers.

  • Willi Castro RF | CHC

    Cubs' Willi Castro: Hits first Chicago home run

    Castro went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

    Castro has been scuffling a bit since joining the Cubs at the trade deadline, but he delivered a key blast to help lead Chicago to a 6-4 win in the first game Tuesday. It was the utility man's first home run with his new team and 11th overall this season. Castro is now batting .150 across 12 games in a Cubs' uniform, though he has at least provided defensive versatility, and his big homer could get him going at the plate.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Delivers walk-off walk

    Torres went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 1-0, 10-inning win over the Astros.

    Torres was the only player in the game to record multiple hits, but it was his walk that served as the key play in the pitchers' duel. The infielder drew a bases-loaded free pass in the bottom of the 10th inning to bring home a run and walk off the Astros. Torres has shown an improved eye at the plate this season, as his walk rate is a touch over 13 percent after sitting around 10 percent each of the last two years in New York. He's been a solid No. 2 hitter for a surging Detroit offense in his first season with the Tigers.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Snaps long homer drought in win

    Stott went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 win over Seattle.

    Stott clubbed his eighth homer of the year and his first since July 23 versus Boston. The speedy infielder hasn't led off for the Phillies since early June, but he's finally beginning to gain some momentum in August as he tries to climb his way back up the batting order. Through his first 43 at-bats of the month, Stott is hitting .326 with four doubles, eight RBI, nine runs scored and four steals.
