Rangers called up Profar.

since the All-Star break, the Reds have more wins in Houston than the Astros do

[MiamiHomer]

The season Chapman is having as a reliever is insane. Kimbrel as well.

Profar homered in his first AB. It was crushed.

Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez had said recently he would pick his spots where he might sit struggling second baseman Dan Uggla. But that plan changed as the Braves entered September. Gonzalez told Uggla Saturday he plans to use him only in a part-time role.

Martin Prado will start at second base for the foreseeable future, with Uggla backing him up. Jeff Baker and Tyler Pastornicky will be options as well.

“He just said something like ‘We’ve got to make a change and I don’t know how much playing time you’re going to get for these next 29 games,’” said Uggla, who sat in consecutive games for the first time all season on Monday. “And that was about it.’”

Uggla didn’t like it. He doesn’t like it when Gonzalez gives him a normal day of rest, like he did only twice in the Braves’ first 97 games this season. But Uggla, who has been out of the lineup four times in the past 12 games, has hit only .152 (37-for-243) in his past 73 games. His .208 batting average on the season is worst in the National League among every-day players.

“I understand what my numbers are,” Uggla said. “I’m not blind to any of that, but at the same time, I’m part of the team that got us to where we’re at right now. Basically numbers don’t mean anything to me, especially in September. But some people don’t see it that way. Do I agree with it? No. But it’s not my call. I don’t make out the lineup. All I can do is pull for my teammates and do what I can when I get an opportunity.”
