    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Adds another steal

    Edman went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Reds.

    Edman had multiple hits in six of his last nine games this season, picking up three steals while batting .371 (13-for-35) in that span. The utility man's production fell short of previous years in many areas, but his ability to seamlessly move between the middle infield and center field helped smooth things over in a difficult year for the Cardinals. He ends the campaign with a .248/.307/.399 slash line, 13 home runs, 27 steals in 31 attempts, 47 RBI and 69 runs scored across 137 contests.

  • Ronny Mauricio 2B | NYM

    Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Logs seventh steal

    Mauricio went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 9-1 loss to the Phillies.

    Mauricio had one of the Mets' two hits in the game. He slashed .248/.296/.347 with two home runs, seven steals, nine RBI and 11 runs scored across his first 26 major-league games. The infield prospect will likely have a chance to win a starting role for 2024 during spring training after holding his own over his first month in the majors.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: On base four times Sunday

    Stott went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Mets.

    Stott had gone 4-for-34 over a nine-game stretch without a multi-hit effort before putting the slump to rest in the regular-season finale. This season was a breakout year for the second baseman. He posted a .280/.329/.419 slash line with 15 home runs, 62 RBI, 78 runs scored and 31 stolen bases over 151 games, and he should be the starter at the keystone for the Phillies in the playoffs.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Not in Sunday's lineup

    India is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    India is 7-for-18 with three doubles and a homer over his past five games, but he'll head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. The 26-year-old enjoyed a modest rebound in 2023 with 17 homers, 14 steals, 61 RBI and a .745 OPS in 119 games.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Sitting out finale

    Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Garcia started the past 13 games but will head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. The 24-year-old posted a .404/.440/.702 slash line during that stretch, which boosted his season-long OPS to .686 to go along with nine homers, nine steals, 50 RBI and 60 runs in 480 plate appearances.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Moves to injured list

    Hoerner was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left knee contusion, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    The 26-year-old suffered the injury during Friday's loss to the Brewers and will shift to the injured list after the Cubs were eliminated from playoff contention Saturday. It doesn't seem to be a serious injury, so Hoerner should have a relatively normal offseason. He closes 2023 with a .283/.346/.383 slash line, nine homers, 43 steals, 68 RBI and 98 runs in 150 games.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Marlins' Luis Arraez: Sitting again Sunday

    Arraez (ankle) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Arraez made an appearance off the bench Friday but will be absent from the starting nine for the seventh consecutive game due to an ankle sprain. The Marlins have already secured their spot in the playoffs and are likely hoping the All-Star second baseman will be available for Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series on Tuesday.

  • Ha-seong Kim 2B | ATL

    Padres' Ha-Seong Kim: Goes 4-for-5 with two thefts

    Kim went 4-for-5 with a double, one run scored and two steals in Saturday's win over the White Sox.

    Kim snapped an 0-for-17 skid in a big way Saturday, collecting three singles and a double while stealing third base twice. The 27-year-old breakout player has slowed down at the plate in September, hitting just .184 with three doubles, zero home runs, seven RBI, eight runs and nine steals across 99 plate appearances. Despite his relatively lethargic finish, the third-year infielder took a huge step forward in the 2023 campaign, posting a .262/.354/.401 season-long slash line and collecting 140 hits, 75 walks, 17 home runs, 84 runs and 38 stolen bases over 151 games (621 plate appearances) -- all career highs.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Registers steal in win

    Edman went 2-for-5 with a walk, one stolen base and three runs scored in Saturday's 15-6 win over the Reds.

    Edman has hit well to close out the campaign, posting five multi-hit efforts over his last eight games. The utility man has maintained a .246/.305/.398 slash line through 136 contests. He's added 13 home runs, 26 steals, 47 RBI, 68 runs scored, 25 doubles and four triples. Edman's bat has been a bit subpar, but his defensive versatility has helped him maintain steady playing time for the Cardinals.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Sitting out nightcap

    Stott isn't in the Phillies' lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.

    After an 0-for-4 performance in Game 1 of Saturday's action, Stott will ride the pine with lefty Jose Quintana on the mound for New York. Edmundo Sosa will instead start at the keystone and bat fifth.
