Gelof went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Mariners.

Gelof has hit safely in five straight games to start September. He had homered in his three previous contests, but he wasn't able to extend his power streak in this game. Gelof continues to enjoy a strong bounce-back year, batting .260 with a .799 OPS, 17 home runs, 12 steals, 42 RBI, 63 runs scored, 14 doubles and two triples over 92 contests.

Muncy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Mariners.

Muncy has homered in consecutive contests, going 5-for-8 with three RBI in that span. The third baseman has been in the lineup for five of the last six games, splitting time between the hot corner and designated hitter. On the year, Muncy is batting .229 with a .695 OPS, nine homers, 29 RBI, 31 runs scored, nine doubles, two triples and three stolen bases over 74 games. He's finishing the year strong and should get ample opportunities to contribute down the stretch.

Caminero went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 extra-inning win over the Rangers.

Caminero now has three multi-hit games already in the month of September. After benefitting from hitter-friendly George M. Steinbrenner Field for home games in 2025, the All-Star third baseman has shown no ill effects from Tampa Bay moving back to pitcher-friendly Tropicana Field in 2026. He's slashing a robust .281/.365/.532 with 38 homers, 91 RBI and 87 runs scored across 620 plate appearances,

Okamoto went 4-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over Kansas City.

Okamoto broke a 2-2 tie in the third inning with a run-scoring double. After the Royals tied things up in the fourth, Okamoto again unknotted the score in the seventh frame with a single that plated what turned out to be the winning run. The rookie third baseman finished with the first four-hit effort of his MLB career while logging multiple knocks for the first time since Aug. 20. Okamoto is at a .233/.305/.445 slash line with 28 home runs, 23 doubles, 81 RBI, 73 runs and one stolen base through 137 games on the season.

Durbin is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the Orioles on Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Durbin will have a rare day off while Nick Sogard starts at the hot corner and Isiah Kiner-Falefa fills in at second base. Durbin has had his ups and downs at the plate this season and has gone 2-for-22 with one steal and a 3:7 BB:K over his last seven outings.

Loftin is not in the Royals' starting lineup against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Loftin will take a seat after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's 9-2 loss to Toronto. With Loftin opening Saturday's game on the bench, Josh Rojas will draw the start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Vargas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout during a 4-1 win over Minnesota on Friday.

Vargas clubbed a solo shot in the first to open the scoring for the White Sox. The 26-year-old is now up to 30 homers, marking the first time he's accomplished that feat in a season, and he reached the 30-homer milestone on the same night as teammate Colson Montgomery. Over 613 plate appearances this season, Vargas has slashed .251/.363/.488 with 77 RBI, 94 runs scored and 15 stolen bases.

Garcia (hamstring) is running at 80 percent while participating in baseball activities, per MLB.com.

Garcia hit the injured list Aug. 21 due to a left hamstring strain just four games after returning from a muscle strain in his left hand. The third baseman's progress in rehab is a positive sign and keeps a return before the end of the regular season on the table, though the Royals may ultimately err on the side of caution with the team far from playoff contention. In 73 games this season, Garcia has slashed .269/.324/.385 with three homers, 32 RBI, 34 runs and five stolen bases.

Gelof went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a triple, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the Mariners.

Gelof logged his third straight multi-hit effort, and he's had a homer in each of those games. The infielder is seeing steady playing time, and the hot bat will certainly help to keep him in the lineup. For the season, Gelof is batting .260 with an .802 OPS, 17 homers, 42 RBI, 61 runs scored, 14 doubles, two triples and 11 stolen bases over 91 contests. With one more long ball, he'll set a new personal best.

Muncy went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6 win over the Mariners.

Muncy had the first of the Athletics' four homers off Logan Gilbert in the third inning. Muncy has gone 14-for-49 (.286) over his last 15 games, adding three homers and six RBI in that span. For the second, the infielder is batting .224 with a .677 OPS, eight homers, 27 RBI, 29 runs scored, nine doubles, two triples and three stolen bases over 73 contests.
