  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Exits after HBP

    Chisholm was removed from Saturday's game against the Orioles after getting hit on the forearm by a pitch, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Chisholm immediately made his way into the dugout after taking a 97-mph sinker off his left forearm. The Yankees will presumably take him in for imaging to determine whether he suffered a fracture and should provide more information on his status in the near future.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Lifts three-run homer

    India went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.

    India's fourth-inning blast off Mason Barnett opened the scoring, but it was all the Royals could produce. India had gone over a month without a homer, batting just .203 (13-for-64) over 21 contests between long balls while missing time due to a wrist injury in that span. He's now at a .234/.324/.347 slash line with nine homers, 45 RBI, 63 runs scored, 29 doubles and no stolen bases over 135 contests. India held a starting role for much of the season but has slipped into a timeshare with Michael Massey and Adam Frazier in September.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Homer, three RBI in win

    Sosa went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Friday's 10-9 win over the Nationals.

    Sosa fell a triple shy of the cycle and drove in runs on three separate occasions, including on a solo homer in the fourth inning. The 25-year-old has hit safely in four of his past five games, tallying three extra-base hits and five RBI in that span. For the season, he's slashing .263/.292/.433 with 22 home runs, 75 RBI, 55 runs scored and two steals across 536 plate appearances.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: On bench Friday

    Massey is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

    Massey will start Friday's game on the bench even as the Royals go up against a right-hander (Mason Barnett). Jonathan India will step in at second base and bat seventh.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Back in lineup

    Holliday (knee) will lead off and play second base Friday against the Yankees, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Holliday was held out of the starting lineup in back-to-back games due to knee soreness, but he'll return to his regular spot at second base Friday. The standout 21-year-old underwent an MRI on Thursday, which confirmed he isn't dealing with any structural damage. Holliday has one hit and nine strikeouts in his last 28 at-bats.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Day off versus lefty

    Chisholm is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

    The left-handed-hitting Chisholm will get a breather as the Orioles send southpaw Trevor Rogers to the hill. Jose Caballero will get the start at second base and bat ninth for the Yankees.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Records second steal

    Massey went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Angels.

    Massey hadn't been in the lineup since Saturday, with two of his three games out of the lineup coming against left-handed pitchers. The lefty-hitting second baseman has two multi-hit efforts over his last three games but looks set to end the year in a timeshare as the Royals also try to keep Adam Frazier and Jonathan India involved at the keystone. Massey has posted an uninspiring .233/.258/.300 slash line with three home runs, two steals, 19 RBI and 17 runs scored over 268 plate appearances this season.

  • Leonardo Rivas SS | SEA

    Mariners' Leo Rivas: Scratched from Thursday's lineup

    Rivas was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Rockies for an undisclosed reason.

    Rivas was originally slated to start at second base while hitting ninth. It's unclear why he was removed from the lineup, but Jorge Polanco will take over at second base with Mitch Garver entering the lineup to serve as the catcher.

  • Jose Altuve 2B | HOU

    Astros' Jose Altuve: Logs two RBI in win

    Altuve went 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored during the Astros' 11-5 win over the Athletics on Thursday.

    Altuve was one of four Astros players to record two RBI or more in Thursday's series finale. He has tallied at least two hits in three of his last five games, going 7-for-17 (.412) with one steal and three RBI over that span.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Exiting starting nine

    Sosa is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Yankees.

    It appears to be a routine day off for Sosa, who had started each of the last four contests. Miguel Vargas will play first base and Curtis Mead will be at third base for the White Sox in the series finale.
