  • Scott Kingery 2B | CHC

    Angels' Scott Kingery: DFA'd on Saturday

    Kingery was designated for assignment Saturday.

    This is the second time Kingery has been DFA'd this season, with the previous move taking place Aug. 11. The veteran infielder has struggled at the plate during his time with the Angels, slashing a measly .148/.207/.185 with one stolen base and 11 strikeouts over 29 plate appearances. Kingery's 40-man roster spot has been assumed by Denzer Guzman, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Returns to big-league club

    The Angels recalled Moore from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

    Moore struggled in his first taste of the majors earlier this season, slashing .195/.287/.336 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 14 runs and no stolen bases over 130 plate appearances. He posted a meager .561 OPS over 10 games with Salt Lake after getting sent down Sept. 1 but will nonetheless get another look with the major-league squad. Moore is starting at second base and batting fifth Saturday versus Seattle, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com.

  • Luis Rengifo 2B | MIL

    Angels' Luis Rengifo: Taking seat Saturday

    Rengifo isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Seattle, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Despite collecting a base hit in each of the first two games of the series, Rengifo will retreat to the bench to begin Saturday's contest. Christian Moore will start at second base instead during his first day back in the majors and bat fifth against right-hander Bryan Woo.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Out of Saturday's lineup

    Dubon isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Dubon will get a chance to rest his legs Saturday after going 1-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's blowout victory. His absence will move Jose Altuve to second base while Zach Cole starts in left field.

  • Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Sitting down Saturday

    Jackson isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Jackson will get a chance to catch his breath after slashing .225/.279/.475 over 43 plate appearances through 10 games in September. His absence will allow Dylan Carlson, Colton Cowser and Dylan Beavers to start across Baltimore's outfield.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Belts homer No. 25

    Altuve went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 11-3 win over Atlanta.

    The 35-year-old took Dane Dunning deep in the sixth inning, giving Altuve his 25th homer of the season -- the fourth time he's reached that milestone in his career. He's been struggling down the stretch, batting just .146 (6-for-41) so far in September, but Altuve will remain an everyday player for the Astros as they battle the Mariners down the stretch for the AL West crown.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: On bench Friday

    India is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

    India made three straight starts after being activated from the injured list Tuesday, and he'll get a breather Friday. The second baseman went 3-for-10 with six strikeouts during those three starts. Michael Massey will play the keystone and bat seventh.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: First start at shortstop since 2022

    Gimenez will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Friday's game versus the Orioles.

    Gimenez has played six innings at shortstop this season, but this will be his first start at the position since 2022. It's possible he could play the position more regularly down the stretch while Bo Bichette (knee) is sidelined. With Gimenez at shortstop, Isiah Kiner-Falefa will be at second base for the Blue Jays on Friday.

  • Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Out at Triple-A with oblique injury

    Bazzana was removed from Thursday's game at Triple-A Columbus due to left oblique soreness, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    It's not being called a strain at this juncture, but even if the injury is deemed minor, there's a good chance it will end the top prospect's season. Bazzana had been heating up lately with Columbus, posting a 1.163 OPS with four home runs over nine September contests. The 23-year-old missed a chunk of time earlier this season with a right oblique strain.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Day off Friday

    Lowe is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Cubs.

    It's the first day off since Aug. 4 for Lowe, who went 1-for-12 with six strikeouts during this week's series versus the White Sox. Richie Palacios will play second base and bat seventh for the Rays.
