Edwards (thumb) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

Edwards will miss a sixth consecutive game Saturday as he continues to recover from a thumb injury he aggravated last week. Jared Serna will start at second base again and bat ninth; meanwhile, Edwards will have just one more opportunity to play again this year before the season ends Sunday.

Semien isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Washington.

Semien will step out of the starting nine Saturday after going just 1-for-19 across New York's last five games. Ronny Mauricio will replace him at second base and bat ninth.

Turang went 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 8-4 win over the Cardinals.

Turang contributed throughout the night before delivering the decisive hit in Milwaukee's four-run eighth inning. With the bases loaded and the game tied 4-4, he singled through the left side to score Jackson Chourio and David Hamilton, putting the Brewers ahead for good. Turang also collected two doubles earlier in the game, giving him two multi-hit performances over his last three contests. The star second baseman is ending the regular season on a sizzling note, hitting .368 with a 1.076 OPS in 22 games since the beginning of September.

Edman isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

Edman will move to the bench to begin Friday's contest after going 1-for-10 with a homer, three RBI and three runs scored during the Dodgers' last series against San Diego. Enrique Hernandez will fill in at second base and bat ninth.

The Dodgers optioned Freeland to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Freeland has appeared in just one of the Dodgers' last six games and will now be pushed off the active roster to make room for Dalton Rushing (elbow). Assuming he doesn't rejoin the big club during the team's final series, Freeland will close the book on 2026 with a .234/.327/.325 slash line alongside four homers, 21 RBI, 32 runs and four steals across 269 plate appearances.

Norby is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest versus the White Sox.

Norby has been a regular presence in the Rockies' lineup over the past month, but this marks the second straight game against a right-handed hurler that he's been on the bench. Adael Amador will cover second base and will bat second for Colorado.

Edwards (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game versus Atlanta.

It's the fifth straight absence for Edwards, who aggravated his left thumb injury last week. The Marlins have resisted putting Edwards back on the injured list, but it seems unlikely at this point that he'll return before the curtains close on the regular season. Jared Serna is getting another start at second base Friday in Edwards' stead.

Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly said Friday that the diagnosis on Arraez's left ankle sprain was "not a great one," Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

X-rays on Arraez's ankle came back negative, but additional imaging confirmed a sprain. While Mattingly did not provide a grade on the sprain, he noted that the second baseman remains stiff and sore. The Phillies will hold off on placing Arraez on the 10-day injured list -- which would rule him out until at least Game 3 of the NLDS -- but could make a roster move if Arraez's condition doesn't improve in the coming days. Bryson Stott has shifted back to second base, and Edmundo Sosa is starting at third base for the Phillies on Friday versus the Rays.

McLain is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Toronto.

McLain had started each of the last nine tilts, but he will begin Friday's festivities on the bench. Juan Brito will handle second base for the Reds, and he'll be situated in the No. 7 slot in the batting order.

Nunez is not in the lineup for Friday's tilt versus the Mets.

Nunez set a new Nationals record with his 48th and 49th stolen bases in his team's last game Wednesday against the Tigers, but he will begin Friday's series opener on the bench. CJ Abrams will be at shortstop and Jorbit Vivas will handle second base for the Nationals.
