John Peck SS | DET
Tigers' John Peck: Swipes another base in win
Peck went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Twins. He also stole a base.
Peck did a little bit of everything in the victory, including stealing his second base in as many games after getting a day off Tuesday. The 24-year-old is getting his first taste of MLB action and has become Detroit's primary option at shortstop, though veteran Javier Baez can still play there along with fellow rookie Kevin McGonigle when he's not covering third. If Peck performs well down the stretch, he'll put himself in position to be the Tigers' Opening Day shortstop in 2027.

Anthony Volpe SS | NYY
Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Returning to majors
The Yankees are expected to recall Volpe from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
The Yankees are going to need an extra infielder once they place Jazz Chisholm (thumb) on the injured list, and it will be Volpe who joins the parent club as the replacement. The 25-year-old has thrived since moving down to Triple-A in early August, slashing .295/.393/.667 with 10 homers, 31 RBI, 22 runs and eight steals across 122 plate appearances with the RailRiders. He's worked exclusively as a shortstop throughout his four seasons in the majors but has lately been working at second and third base in the minors, which could open up more avenues to playing time once he rejoins the Pinstripes.

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Will not play Wednesday
Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said that Henderson (foot) will not be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Henderson had to be lifted from Tuesday's contest after fouling a ball off his foot, and he remains sore. The Orioles are idle Thursday, so Henderson will aim to return to action Friday when Baltimore begins a road trip in Toronto.

Leo De Vries SS | ATH
Athletics' Leo De Vries: Slated for surgery
De Vries will undergo surgery to repair an anterior labrum tear in his right shoulder, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
De Vries is expected to require eight months to recover following his procedure, which will officially put an early end to his season and rule him out for the early portion of the 2027 campaign as well. The 19-year-old infield prospect will close the book on 2026 after slashing .287/.376/.453 with 13 homers, 55 RBI, 64 runs scored and 34 steals across 431 plate appearances at Double-A Midland.

Zachary Neto SS | LAA
Angels' Zach Neto: Logs four hits at Fenway Park
Neto went 4-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run during the Angels' 6-1 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday.
Neto's four hits Tuesday were his second most of the season, and he capped off his night with a two-run home run over the Green Monster to give the Angels a five-run lead. The 25-year-old shortstop has had his ups and downs this season but is enjoying a productive season overall. Neto has a .242/.321/.436 slash line with 19 steals (in 30 attempts), 24 home runs and 69 RBI over 626 plate appearances this year.

Kevin McGonigle SS | DET
Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Homers again Tuesday
McGonigle went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.
McGonigle provided all of Detroit's offense in the fifth inning with his 16th home run of the season, which was his second long ball in as many nights. After slowing down a bit in August with a .231 batting average and .697 OPS across 27 games, the rookie infielder is aiming to wrap up his debut campaign with a flourish. No matter how he finishes the year, McGonigle has done more than enough to establish himself as a rising fantasy star heading into 2027.

Gunnar Henderson SS | BAL
Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Leaves early Tuesday
Henderson was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians with an apparent foot injury, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.
Henderson fouled a ball off his foot during his at-bat in the eighth inning. He initially remained in the game, drew a walk and advanced to second on a Coby Mayo groundout, but he was then pulled after a visit from a trainer. He'll likely undergo imaging to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and the Orioles may provide more information on his health after the game.

Taylor Walls SS | TB
Rays' Taylor Walls: Shelved by hip flexor strain
The Rays placed Walls on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right hip flexor strain, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
Walls didn't play in his team's last game Sunday, so it seems he's been dealing with the injury for a few days. He'll be eligible to return Sept. 18, but it's unclear whether Walls has a chance to be ready on that date. Jorge Mateo will likely handle the bulk of the reps at shortstop while Walls is shelved.

Andres Gimenez SS | TOR
Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Plates two in loss
Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI double in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics.
Gimenez supplied the RBI double during Toronto's seventh-inning rally. He also homered to tie the game in the ninth, but the Athletics were able to walk it off in their half of the frame. Gimenez hasn't gone hitless in consecutive games since late July, providing a steady bat in the bottom third of the order. He's hitting .244 with a .652 OPS, nine homers, 54 RBI, 36 runs scored, 21 doubles, one triple and 20 stolen bases over 134 contests this season.

Kevin McGonigle SS | DET
Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Hits 15th home run in win
McGonigle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-4 win over the Twins.
McGonigle hit his 15th home run of the season and first since Aug. 23 to help lead the Tigers to a win. Since that Aug. 23 long ball, the 22-year-old infielder is batting just .157, a sign that he's maybe starting to hit a wall in what's been a very productive debut campaign overall. Even with the recent slump, McGonigle remains the favorite for AL Rookie of the Year honors, and his future as a fantasy asset appears to be bright.
