  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Idle against southpaw

    Stott is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

    Stott will dodge a matchup with left-hander Sean Manaea on Saturday, giving way to Edmundo Sosa at the keystone. Stott is riding a five-game hit streak, though he's just 5-for-19 with a 30 percent strikeout rate during that stretch.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Andres Gimenez: Homers in Friday's win

    Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals.

    Gimenez has nine homers this year, three of which have come over 19 games in September. He's slugging .412 this month compared to .342 for the year, though he's routinely had fairly modest power numbers. Aside from the dip in power, his numbers this year look similar to his work in 2023. He's batting .253 with 62 RBI, 30 stolen bases, 64 runs scored, 21 doubles and a triple over 147 games in 2024.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: At DH Saturday

    Garcia (wrist) will DH and bat third Saturday against the Cubs.

    Garcia missed back-to-back games with soreness in his right wrist, but he'll return to the starting nine Saturday. Considering the pain is in his throwing arm, the Nationals could give Garcia a couple of days at DH before having him return to the field. Jose Tena is playing second base.

  • Romy Gonzalez 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Moves to third base mid-game

    Gonzalez entered Friday's game as a pinch runner and remained in the 4-2 extra-innings loss to the Twins. He was hitless in his lone plate appearance.

    Gonzalez initially played second base but eventually moved to third in the 11th inning, when Rafael Devers (shoulder) was removed from the game. Devers will undergo an MRI on Saturday and faces of the prospect of his season being over. That would create an opening at third base, where Gonzalez and Nick Sogard would likely fill in.

  • Reds' Jonathan India: Logs homer in win

    India went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 8-3 win over the Pirates.

    India went deep in the fourth inning, his 15th home run of the season and first in 14 games. He's hit safely in seven of the last nine contests, going 10-for-32 (.313) with five walks, four extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs scored during that stretch.

  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Sets new career high in homers

    Marte went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Friday's 7-4 win over Milwaukee.

    Marte homered in the first inning and drove in a run with a fifth-inning double. The home run was his 33rd, establishing a new career high for the second baseman, and he's up to 90 RBI.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Swipes bag in win

    Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

    Bogaerts has racked up three steals over his last five games, though this was his first multi-hit performance since Sept. 5. The 31-year-old has seen steady playing time at shortstop while Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) is on the mend. Bogaerts is up to a .261/.305/.375 slash line with 10 home runs, 13 steals, 39 RBI and 47 runs scored through 104 contests this year.

  • Vaughn Grissom SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Recalled from Worcester

    The Red Sox recalled Grissom from Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

    Grissom will take the spot on the 28-man roster vacated by Rob Refsnyder, who was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right forearm strain. Since being optioned to Worcester on Aug. 8 after being reinstated from the IL, Grissom has slashed .269/.407/.417 with five home runs and 24 RBI across 137 minor-league plate appearances. In the majors, he's slashing .148/.207/.160 with three RBI over 87 plate appearances.

  • Gavin Lux SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Avoiding southpaw matchup

    Lux is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    The lefty-hitting Lux will begin Friday's contest on the bench with southpaw Kyle Freeland taking the mound for the Rockies. Enrique Hernandez will start at second base and bat ninth.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Rejoining lineup as DH

    Keith (shoulder) is batting fifth as the designated hitter Friday against the Orioles.

    The 23-year-old sat out Wednesday against the Royals after he suffered a shoulder injury during Tuesday's contest, but he's back in the lineup following Thursday's team off day. Keith is hitting .315 through 14 games in September, though he hasn't supplied a ton of pop with just two extra-base hits.
