Nick Yorke 2B | PIT
Pirates' Nick Yorke: Idle Saturday
Yorke isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Atlanta.
Yorke will catch a breather Saturday after going 2-for-4 and scoring a run during Friday's victory. Spencer Horwitz will shift to second base while Yorke is on the bench, opening up first base for Rafael Flores.

Marcus Semien 2B | NYM
Rangers' Marcus Semien: Moves to 60-day IL
The Rangers transferred Semien (foot) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Semien has already been ruled out for the 2025 season due to a fractured third metatarsal and a Lisfranc sprain in his left foot. His move to the 60-day IL will simply act as a way to clear space on the 40-man roster for Dom Hamel, who was claimed off waivers from the Orioles on Saturday.

Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: X-rays on forearm negative
X-rays on Chisholm's left forearm came back negative following his removal from Saturday's game against the Orioles.
Chisholm left Saturday's contest after getting hit by a pitch in the fifth inning. He's also slated to undergo a CT scan to confirm the results of his X-ray, but it seems he managed to escape the incident without any structural damage. The Yankees may decide to sideline the 27-year-old infielder for Sunday's series finale to ensure he's fully healthy for the postseason, which would create an opportunity for Jose Caballero to pick up a start in the infield.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Exits after HBP
Chisholm was removed from Saturday's game against the Orioles after getting hit on the forearm by a pitch, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Chisholm immediately made his way into the dugout after taking a 97-mph sinker off his left forearm. The Yankees will presumably take him in for imaging to determine whether he suffered a fracture and should provide more information on his status in the near future.

Ketel Marte 2B | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: On bench Saturday
Marte is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.
Marte will get a breather for the Diamondbacks' penultimate game of the season. The star second baseman has a hit in seven straight games, going 12-for-30 (.400) with a pair of homers during that stretch. Connor Kaiser will fill in at second base.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Homers early in loss
Marte went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.
Marte extended his hitting streak to seven games, a span in which he has gone 12-for-30 (.400) with two homers and five RBI. The second baseman has 27 long balls this season, including four across 22 games in September. Overall, he's added a .283/.376/.512 slash line with 71 RBI, 86 runs scored, four stolen bases and 28 doubles through 125 contests.

Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT
Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Two hits in win
Gonzales went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored Friday against Atlanta.
Gonzales delivered an RBI single in the second inning as part of a three-run rally for Pittsburgh. He's had a quiet September, managing only 17 hits across 83 at-bats (.205) with seven RBI and seven runs scored in 21 games. Gonzales has just an 83 wRC+ across 400 plate appearances for the season, but he should be in the mix for regular playing time in Pittsburgh to begin 2026.

Jonathan India 2B | KC
Royals' Jonathan India: Lifts three-run homer
India went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics.
India's fourth-inning blast off Mason Barnett opened the scoring, but it was all the Royals could produce. India had gone over a month without a homer, batting just .203 (13-for-64) over 21 contests between long balls while missing time due to a wrist injury in that span. He's now at a .234/.324/.347 slash line with nine homers, 45 RBI, 63 runs scored, 29 doubles and no stolen bases over 135 contests. India held a starting role for much of the season but has slipped into a timeshare with Michael Massey and Adam Frazier in September.

Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC
Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Goes deep in rout
Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 12-1 win over the Cardinals.
Hoerner popped his seventh home run of the season in the first inning, as he was one of four Chicago players to go deep. The speedy infielder isn't known for his power -- his career high in homers is only 10 -- and he appears likely to finish with a single-digit total for the third straight year. Hoerner is a great source of steals, however, as he has 29 of them this season in 35 attempts, and he's swiped 103 bags since the start of 2023.

Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW
White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Homer, three RBI in win
Sosa went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Friday's 10-9 win over the Nationals.
Sosa fell a triple shy of the cycle and drove in runs on three separate occasions, including on a solo homer in the fourth inning. The 25-year-old has hit safely in four of his past five games, tallying three extra-base hits and five RBI in that span. For the season, he's slashing .263/.292/.433 with 22 home runs, 75 RBI, 55 runs scored and two steals across 536 plate appearances.
