  • Cody Freeman SS | TEX

    Rangers' Cody Freeman: Could finish season at 2B

    Freeman started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Minnesota.

    Freeman made a sixth consecutive start at second base and could finish out the regular season there as the primary starter, after the Rangers announced Marcus Semien (foot) was being shut down. Freeman has gone 4-for-19 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base during his six-start run.

  • Luke Keaschall 2B | MIN

    Twins' Luke Keaschall: Lifted early Tuesday

    Keaschall was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rangers with a left thumb injury, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.

    Keaschall's hand hit the bag hard during his steal of second base in the second inning, and he was eventually taken out of the game during the fourth frame. The Twins will take a closer look at him and should provide an update on his status in the near future.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Ruled out for 2025

    Manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that Semien (foot) will not play again this season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Semien resumed taking live BP and running Friday, but with the Rangers five games out of a wild-card spot with six to play, the team will pull the plug on its efforts to get the veteran infielder back in the lineup this year. He'll close the book on 2025 with a career-low .669 OPS alongside 15 homers, 62 RBI, 62 runs scored and 11 steals through 127 games. Cody Freeman projects to be the Rangers' primary second baseman for the remainder of the regular season.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Clubs another homer Sunday

    Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-1 extra-inning win over the Orioles.

    The game was tied 1-1 entering the 10th, and the Yankees exploded for six runs in the extra frame. One of those runs came on Chisholm's solo homer to right field. It was the second baseman's second homer over his past three games and marked his third straight contest with at least one RBI. Chisholm has a career-high 31 home runs and 79 RBI through 124 games on the campaign, and he's added 30 thefts for his first career 30-30 season.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Rays' Brandon Lowe: Reaches 30-homer mark

    Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Red Sox.

    Lowe achieved his second 30-homer season when he went deep in the sixth inning. Just two of those long balls have come in September, as his power has declined following a nine-homer performance over 25 games in August. The infielder is now at a .258/.309/.478 slash line with 81 RBI, 78 runs scored, 18 doubles and three stolen bases across 130 contests this season.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Records 10th steal

    Altuve went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, one RBI and one stolen base in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Mariners.

    This was Altuve's second multi-hit effort in a row but just his fourth such game in all of September. The 35-year-old is batting just .203 (13-for-64) over 18 games this month, adding three home runs and 10 RBI in that span. For the season, he's posted a .265/.327/.444 slash line with 26 homers, 75 RBI, 78 runs scored and 10 steals across 150 contests.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Reaches three times in loss

    Torres went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta.

    Torres extended his hitting streak to four games, with the last three contests being multi-hit efforts. The Detroit infielder is now slashing .261/.366/.398 across 140 games this year, and he's been a key offensive performer in his first season with his new team. Torres should continue to slot in as the No. 2 hitter for the Tigers as they look to wrap up a playoff spot.

  • Leonardo Rivas SS | SEA

    Mariners' Leo Rivas: Fading into reserve role

    Rivas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

    Rivas will be left out of the lineup for the third game in a row while the Mariners make an effort to get their best bats in the lineup. To that end, Jorge Polanco will once again cover second base, allowing Dominic Canzone to serve as the Mariners' designated hitter while Victor Robles occupies right field.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Taking seat Sunday

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Schneemann started both ends of Saturday's doubleheader when the Guardians went up against right-handed pitchers, going 1-for-9 with a solo home run and an additional run between the two contests. He'll sit against righty Simeon Woods Richardson on Sunday, opening up room in the lineup for George Valera.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Taking seat Sunday

    Massey isn't in the Royals' starting lineup Sunday versus the Blue Jays.

    Massey will begin the series finale on the bench after starting each of Kansas City's past three contests at second base. Adam Frazier will cover the keystone Sunday.
