  • Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Moving back to reserve role

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

    Sosa had started at shortstop each of the last four games, but he'll shift back into a utility role for the regular-season finale and for the Phillies' playoff run. Trea Turner (hamstring) will reclaim the shortstop job after being activated from the 10-day injured list.

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: On bench Sunday

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Cracks three-run homer in win

    Schmitt went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.

    Schmitt put the Giants on the board and gave them a 3-2 lead with his long shot off Kyle Freeland in the third inning. It was Schmitt's 12th home run on the season, which is more than he tallied in the two years prior combined (11). He has a .707 OPS with nine runs, three homers and nine RBI in 78 plate appearances since Sept. 1.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Back in action Saturday

    Edman (ankle) will serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter and bat leadoff against the Mariners on Saturday.

    Ankle soreness has kept Edman from playing in the Dodgers' last two games, but a few days of rest now have the 30-year-old ready to return to the starting nine. In 10 games since returning from the injured list, he's gone 9-for-38 (.237) with a homer, five RBI and six runs scored.

  • Will Wagner 2B | SD

    Padres' Will Wagner: Rejoins Padres

    The Padres recalled Wagner from the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.

    Wagner was sent to the Padres' facility in Arizona following Xander Bogaerts' return from the injured list Tuesday, but the former will now be brought back onto the big-league roster to replace Ramon Laureano (finger). Wagner has slashed .222/.319/.278 across 145 plate appearances between the Blue Jays and Padres this season and will likely come off the bench most days while in San Diego.
