  • Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL

    Braves' Ozzie Albies: On base three times Monday

    Albies went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Cubs.

    The second baseman has produced multi-hit performances in five of the last seven games, a stretch in which Albies is batting .393 (11-for-28) with three doubles, three homers and 11 RBI. He's had a down season overall due to lingering wrist issues, but a strong finish to 2025 should be enough to convince Atlanta that the 28-year-old still has a place in the team's future plans.

  • Nick Yorke 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Yorke: Receives call-up to Pittsburgh

    The Pirates recalled Yorke from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

    Yorke was a regular in the Pittsburgh lineup for the second half of September last season, but after failing to win a spot on the Opening Day roster coming out of spring training, he's spent the entire 2025 campaign to date at Indianapolis. The 23-year-old has been serviceable as an everyday player for Indianapolis with a .287/.348/.406 slash line, seven home runs and 17 steals over 440 plate appearances, but he didn't dominate enough at any point to earn a call-up to Pittsburgh until the active roster expanded to 28 men Monday. Yorke will likely stick with the Pirates throughout the final month of the season, but he could end up filling a utility role and may not be in line for steady playing time.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Continues to flash power

    Turang went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks Monday in a 10-8 loss to the Phillies.

    Turang got Milwaukee off to a quick start with a solo blast to lead off the bottom half of the first inning. The long ball was his second in as many days, and Turang has now gone deep 11 times across his past 28 contests. Over that stretch, he's slashing a robust .340/.407/.708 with 24 RBI, 23 runs and three stolen bases. The power surge has seemingly come out to nowhere -- prior to that 28-game stretch, Turang had homered just once over his previous 30 appearances.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Lifts 24th homer

    Marte went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-5 extra-inning loss to the Rangers.

    Marte was back at second base after three games at designated hitter. He hasn't been reported to have an injury, and his recent string of games in a non-fielding role could simply be part of the plan to keep both Blaze Alexander and Jordan Lawlar involved down the stretch. Marte's bat has been fine lately, as he's gone 11-for-41 (.268) over his last 11 games, but his homer Monday was his first extra-base hit in that span. For the season, he's posted a .290/.390/.527 slash line with 24 homers, 61 RBI, 76 runs scored and four stolen bases over 105 games.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Avoids major injury

    Schmitt (elbow) underwent X-rays, which came back negative, following Monday's 8-2 win over the Rockies, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Schmitt exited Monday's contest in the top of fifth inning after being struck by a pitch in the right elbow, but he appears to have avoided a major injury. The second baseman is considered to be day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's contest in Colorado.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Exits after HBP

    Schmitt exited Monday's game against the Rockies after being hit by a pitch in the top of the fifth inning, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Schmitt appeared to take a 95 mph sinker from Chase Dollander off the right wrist or forearm. He took his base but was removed in favor of Christian Koss following a Patrick Bailey strikeout. Prior to leaving, Schmitt went 0-for-1 at the plate with the hit-by-pitch. Consider him day-to-day for now.

  • Hye Seong Kim 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Back from IL

    The Dodgers activated Kim (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Back to full health after he had been on the shelf since July 28 due to shoulder bursitis, Kim will join the Dodgers following a nine-appearance rehab assignment in which he slashed .324/.368./412 with a 3:10 BB:K and a stolen base. During his time in the majors this season, Kim has seen playing time at second base, shortstop and center field, but he saw three starts in left field during his rehab assignment and could emerge as an option at the position with the Dodgers in September. Michael Conforto has served as Los Angeles' primary left fielder this season, but he's mustered a lowly .628 OPS through 414 plate appearances.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Quick ejection Monday

    Edwards was ejected from Monday's game versus the Nationals in the first inning for arguing balls and strikes, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Edwards' plate appearance to lead off the contest ended on a groundout to the catcher, and he evidently said some choice words to home plate umpire Brennan Miller to warrant a quick ejection from the game. Javier Sanoja took Edwards' spot at second base in the bottom of the first inning.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Goes through full workout

    Donovan (groin) went through a full workout Monday and will do so again Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    If he's able to get through Tuesday's workout without any issues, Donovan could then be sent out on a rehab assignment. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since mid-August with a left groin strain but could be activated from the 10-day injured list within the next week or so if all goes well.

  • Mets' Luisangel Acuna: Rejoins big club

    The Mets recalled Acuna from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

    Acuna, who has seen the vast majority of his playing time at second base with the big club this season, is expected to occupy a bench role in September. The 23-year-old righty hitter hit .303 with zero home runs and eight steals in 28 games at Triple-A and has batted .239 with zero home runs and 12 steals in 175 plate appearances with the Mets in 2025.
