  • 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.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Available off bench

    Hoerner (knee) won't start Saturday's game against the Brewers but will be available off the bench, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Hoerner fouled a ball off his knee Friday, and while he avoided a fracture, he's evidently too sore to start Saturday's must-win contest. Christopher Morel will handle second base in Hoerner's absence.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Sitting against southpaw

    Turang isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against the Cubs.

    Left-hander Jordan Wicks will be on the hill for the Cubs to begin Saturday's contest, meaning the left-handed bat of Turang will stay put in Milwaukee's dugout. Andruw Monasterio will fill in at the keystone and bat eighth.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Marlins' Luis Arraez: Still sidelined

    Arraez (ankle) remains on the bench for Saturday's game against the Pirates, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Arraez was able to appear off the bench Friday and grab a single in his first action since the previous Saturday as he nurses a left ankle sprain. He could be available in a similar capacity Saturday, but it will be Jon Berti who starts at second base.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Raps out two hits

    Garcia went 2-for-5 with a double and a run in Friday's 10-6 win over Atlanta.

    Since returning to the majors Sept. 8 after a five-week stint at Triple-A Rochester, Garcia has restored some faith that he might be the Nationals' long-term answer at second base. After going just 2-for-22 in his first eight games following his call-up, Garcia has caught fire at the plate and has climbed up the batting order accordingly. He's slashing .419/.457/.721 with seven extra-base hits over his last 12 games and has batted out of the No. 5 spot in five straight contests.

  • Jake Alu LF | WAS

    Nationals' Jake Alu: Slugs second homer

    Alu went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 10-6 win over Atlanta.

    The 26-year-old has been holding down a near-everyday role since the beginning of August, but despite playing regularly, he hasn't offered much fantasy utility outside of very deep mixed leagues or NL-only leagues. His home run Friday was just his second of the season, and Alu's contributions in other categories (.231 average, 16 RBI, 14 runs and five stolen bases in 49 games) haven't been enough to compensate for the lack of power.

  • Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Finding power to end season

    Rodgers went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Friday against the Twins.

    Rodgers led off the fifth inning with his fourth home run of the season, each of which has come in his last nine games. He's been limited to only 44 games after suffering a shoulder injury during spring training, though he's ultimately delivered a slash line remarkably similar to his 2022 campaign. Most importantly, Rodgers appears to be proving healthy before heading into the offseason.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Logs another multi-hit game

    India went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and two additional runs scored in Friday's 19-2 win over the Cardinals.

    India was one of the six members of the Reds' starting lineup to go deep in the win, which kept Cincinnati alive in the playoff hunt. He singled and scored in the first inning, then launched a two-run home run in the second. The second baseman scored a third run after being hit by a pitch in the fourth. After going 5-for-42 over the first 11 games since being activated off the injured list, India logged a third multi-hit effort over the last four contests, during which he's scored seven runs.

  • Alan Trejo SS | COL

    Rockies' Alan Trejo: Homers in loss

    Trejo went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Twins.

    Trejo has been mired in a 1-for-25 stretch but has now recorded four hits over his past two games, including Friday's blast. The utility player is hitting .226 with four homers, 26 RBI, 23 runs and five steals over 205 at-bats.
