Max Schuemann SS | OAK
Athletics' Max Schuemann: Swipes seventh base Friday
Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a loss to the Orioles on Friday.
The Athletics strung together three singles as part of their five hits on the night, and Schuemann was able to parlay his one knock into his seventh stolen base of the season. The rookie has reached safely in seven of his last eight games, including four straight, a stretch that's resulted in a slight boost for his .229/.321/.330 slash line across the board and includes three of his steals for the campaign.

Jeremy Pena SS | HOU
Astros' Jeremy Pena: Another big performance
Pena went 3-for-5 with three RBI and three runs scored Friday against the Twins.
Pena delivered a pair of RBI singles and a sacrifice fly to account for his production. That continued a strong run, as across his last 15 games Pena has maintained a .298 batting average with two homers, 14 RBI and 11 runs scored. His .118 ISO across 86 games exactly matches his mark from 2023, though he's on pace to easily set new career highs in RBI and stolen bases while also hitting .285.

Romy Gonzalez SS | BOS
Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Contributes to win
Gonzalez started at first base and went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Yankees.
Gonzalez's fifth-inning homer was all the offense Boston mustered over the first eight innings before its late-game comeback. The utility infielder has mostly worked as a pinch hitter and fill-in at all four infield positions. Gonzalez is 9-for-26 (.346) with three steals, two doubles, a home run, four RBI and three additional runs over 14 games since being activated off the injured list in mid-June.

Dylan Moore SS | SEA
Mariners' Dylan Moore: Notches steal in win
Moore went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.
Moore has gone just 2-for-14 with two walks over his last seven games. The versatile 31-year-old continues to offer speed when in the lineup for the Mariners -- he's 14-for-16 on stolen base attempts this season, including a perfect 6-for-6 since the start of June. Getting on base is another story, as he's hitting just .207 with a .315 on-base percentage, eight home runs, 26 RBI, 31 runs scored, 14 doubles and three triples across 72 contests.

Bo Bichette SS | TOR
Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Back in action Friday
Bichette (forearm) will start at shortstop and bat second Friday against the Mariners.
Bichette was hit by a pitch during Wednesday's contest and had to sit out Thursday's game as a result, but he seems to be feeling well enough to play Friday. The 26-year-old has been having a down season at the plate, posting a career-worst .613 OPS in 308 plate appearances.
