  • Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Two steals in Saturday's win

    Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

    Cronenworth has hit safely in nine straight games, going 13-for-36 (.361) in that span. He has just one extra-base hit, a triple, during the streak. The infielder is now batting .223 with a .608 OPS, five home runs, nine steals, 31 RBI, 42 runs scored, 11 doubles and a triple over 102 contests this season.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Leaves early Saturday

    Edwards left Saturday's game against the Padres in the seventh inning with left thumb discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Edwards was checked out by a trainer after a foul ball during his plate appearance in the top of the seventh, and while he stayed in the game initially, the second baseman was replaced on defense the next half-inning. He just recently returned from a left thumb sprain, and De Nicola speculates Edwards might have aggravated that injury.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Getting rest Saturday

    Turang isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore.

    The Brewers will load their lineup with mostly right-handed bats Saturday against lefty starter Trevor Rogers, so the lefty-swinging Turang will move to the bench to begin the game.

  • Connor Norby 2B | COL

    Rockies' Connor Norby: Strong September continues

    Norby went 3-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored Friday against the Mariners.

    Norby continues to hit the ball well, as Friday's performance extended his hitting streak to six games. In that span, he's gone 11-for-25 with four doubles, four RBI, two stolen bases and four runs scored. Norby is making the case to stick with the Rockies or another big-league club in 2027 by maintaining a .309 average with 16 RBI and 18 runs scored across 33 games since joining Colorado.

  • Nate Furman 2B | SF

    Giants' Nate Furman: Placed on injured list

    The Giants placed Furman on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a right oblique strain, retroactive to Wednesday.

    Furman will be eligible to return from the IL for San Francisco's final two regular-season games, but with the Giants out of the race for a wild-card spot, they likely won't be in a rush to bring him back. Victor Bericoto (knee) was activated from the injured list to take Furman's place on the 28-man roster.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Mets' Marcus Semien: Riding pine Thursday

    Semien isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Semien has collected a base hit in each of his last six games and nine of his last 10, but the Mets will keep him on the bench to begin Thursday's contest while Brett Baty covers second base.

  • Adael Amador 2B | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: Exiting starting lineup

    Amador is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Padres.

    Amador has been an everyday player for the Rockies lately, but he will exit the lineup for Thursday's series finale. Troy Johnston is getting a turn in the designated-hitter slot for the Rockies.

  • Willi Castro 2B | COL

    Rockies' Willi Castro: Rules self out for season

    Castro (heel/knee) said Wednesday that he will miss the remainder of the 2026 season, MLB.com reports.

    Castro has been on the injured list since Sept. 5 due to left heel plantar fasciitis and right knee soreness, and rather than attempting to ramp back up with the hope of playing in the final week and a half of the season, he's instead elected to shut himself down. After joining the Rockies on a two-year deal over the winter, the 29-year-old slashed .260/.331/.417 with 15 home runs, 10 stolen bases, 65 runs and 56 RBI in 120 games during his first season in Colorado.

  • Ivan Johnson 2B | CIN

    Reds' Ivan Johnson: Shelved at Triple-A

    Triple-A Louisville placed Johnson on its 7-day injured list Sept. 10 due to an unspecified injury.

    After being optioned to Louisville on Sept. 4, Johnson played in just two games before being shut down with the injury. Prior to his demotion, Johnson had played sparingly at the big-league level over three stints with the Reds on the season, going just 1-for-16 with three walks and two stolen bases.

  • Matt McLain 2B | CIN

    Reds' Matt McLain: Steals base in win

    McLain went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers.

    This was the second game back from a shoulder injury for McLain. The stolen base was his 18th in 125 games, tying the career high he set last season over 147 regular-season contests.
