Jonathan India 2B | KC
Royals' Jonathan India: Losing work to Massey
India isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.
Saturday marks the fourth consecutive game that will begin with Michael Massey at the keystone and India on the bench. India has still appeared in two of the Royals' last three contests, though it seems his time as the regular second baseman in Kansas City has come to an end.

Zack Gelof 2B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Officially placed on IL
Gelof was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a dislocated left shoulder.
It was already reported that Gelof was done for the season after suffering the injury in Friday's game against the Pirates. Max Muncy (hand) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move and should play regularly in place of Gelof down the stretch.

Christian Moore 2B | LAA
Angels' Christian Moore: Goes deep Friday
Moore went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Colorado.
Moore put the Angels on the board with a two-run homer that tied the score 2-2 in the second inning. The rookie second baseman has been flashing his power of late, belting three homers in six games since being called back up to the big leagues Sept. 13. His other two hits during that span have been doubles, though he's also struck out nine times in 20 plate appearances.

Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Reaches 30-30 mark
Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Baltimore.
Chisholm accounted for the Yankees' only runs in the game with his homer to right-center field in the seventh inning. The long ball was his 30th of the campaign (a career high) and, paired with his 30 thefts, put him in rarified air as just the third Yankees player with a 30-30 season (Bobby Bonds and Alfonso Soriano are the others). Juan Soto of the Mets is the only other MLB player to reach the 30-30 mark so far this season.

Marcus Semien 2B | NYM
Rangers' Marcus Semien: More baseball activity
Semien (foot) took live batting practice and did some running Friday, MLB.com reports.
Semien ramped up his activity this week and is hoping to get on the field with the limited time left in the regular season. The Rangers have lost five consecutive games and sit five games back of the final wild-card spot with eight left to play. Ultimately, whether Semien returns to the active roster may depend on the team's slim playoff hopes.

Michael Massey 2B | KC
Royals' Michael Massey: Fuels offense in rout
Massey went 4-for-5 with a homer, a double, a walk, three RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's 20-1 victory over the Blue Jays.
Massey set a new career best by tallying four hits in this contest while driving home four for the fourth time. His performance was highlighted by a 393-foot, two-run blast off Toronto starter Max Scherzer in the opening frame. Massey, who is currently fills a bench role in Kansas City, is now slashing .231/.257/.300 with three homers, 19 RBI and 16 runs scored across 262 total plate appearances.

Zack Gelof 2B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Out for season
Gelof dislocated his left shoulder during Friday's game against Pittsburgh, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Gelof suffered the injury while diving for a grounder in the fifth inning of Friday's contest, and he will ultimately have to miss the rest of the season. He'll close the book on 2025 with a forgettable .174/.230/.272 slash line to go with two homers, seven RBI, 12 runs scored and a steal through 101 plate appearances in the majors.

Zack Gelof 2B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Exits early Friday
Gelof was removed from Friday's game against the Pirates with a left shoulder injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Gelof appeared to be holding his wrist after making a diving play on a groundball in the fifth inning, but the issue has now been revealed to be in his shoulder. He was immediately replaced at second base following the incident and will presumably head in for imaging to determine the severity of his injury. Fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day until the team provides more details about the second baseman's status.

Brandon Lowe 2B | TB
Rays' Brandon Lowe: Taking seat
Lowe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Boston.
Lowe is out of the lineup for the second time in three games, a stretch that followed four consecutive starts at second base. In his last six games, Lowe is 6-for-26 (.231) with a homer and nine strikeouts.

Daniel Schneemann 2B | CLE
Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Sitting Friday
Schneemann is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Minnesota.
Scheemann isn't part of the starting nine for a third consecutive contest. Steven Kwan, Angel Martinez and C.J. Kayfus will fill the outfield from left to right.
