Norby went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored Saturday against the Tigers.

Norby continues to play a prominent role in the Rockies' lineup, particularly against lefties. He's hit second in the order in six consecutive games against southpaws, and he's hit well overall since the start of September. Across 10 games, he's maintained a .273 average with a 10.5 percent walk rate, one home run, two RBI and six runs scored.

Seigler was removed from Saturday's game after experiencing pain in his right wrist following a swing, MLB.com reports. He hurt the wrist in the fourth inning and was eventually removed in the seventh.

Seigler, who was called up to Boston on Friday as a replacement for Eli White (foot), started at second base before departing. He was replaced by Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Seigler underwent further testing and evaluation following the game.

Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

Ramirez scored two runs for the second straight game and also tallied his first multi-hit performance of the month. The rookie infielder is batting just .161 through 31 September at-bats, and it seems like he could be starting to hit a wall in what's been a strong debut overall. Ramirez should continue to see regular time at second base in the short term, but the return of shortstop Dansby Swanson (oblique) from the injured list next week will shift Nico Hoerner back to the keystone, which figures to send Ramirez to the bench most days.

Brito went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 13-9 loss to Milwaukee.

Brito recorded his second three-hit effort and launched his second home run in a Cincinnati uniform. In the seven games since being added to the roster, he's gone 7-for-19 with a double, two homers and eight RBI. With news of Matt McLain experiencing soreness in his left shoulder and needing a few days off, Brito is a natural fill-in at second base.

Arroyo went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk, three total RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.

Arroyo was in the lineup for just the second time since his Sept. 6 call-up. He went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts prior to his big game Saturday, which checked off a lot of firsts in his young career. He has yet to carve out a steady spot in the lineup, but that could change once the Mariners are officially eliminated from playoff contention.

Young went 3-for-6 with a two-run home run, three additional RBI and two total runs scored in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.

Young and Michael Arroyo were both in the lineup Saturday against southpaw Gage Jump. Young has retained a starting role at second base since Arroyo was called up. Through 11 games in September, Young is 13-for-39 (.333) with eight RBI. He's batting .250 with a .706 OPS, 17 homers, 65 RBI, 71 runs scored, 18 doubles, four triples and three stolen bases across 148 contests this season.

Lee went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a triple, a walk, two runs and three RBI in an 11-7 win against the Rockies on Saturday.

Lee was one of three Tigers to log a trio of hits, and all three of those knocks went for extra bases. The infielder drove in a run with a double in the fourth inning and added a clutch two-run, two-out triple in the eighth. Lee was in need of a strong performance, as he'd gone 1-for-17 with nine strikeouts (albeit with six walks) over his previous six games. He's started three of Detroit's past five contests.

McLain was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers for unspecified reasons.

It's unclear why McLain was removed from the starting nine, but the Reds will likely offer an explanation in the near future. In the meantime, Juan Brito will move over to second base while Ke'Bryan Hayes enters the lineup to start at third.

Genao isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

Genao will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going 7-for-32 (.219) across his first 11 games of September. Travis Bazzana will start at second base while Genao sits, and Jose Ramirez will man the hot corner.

Basabe isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Basabe will retreat to the bench Saturday after starting six of the Giants' last seven games and going 3-for-19 with seven strikeouts in that span. Jonah Cox will fill in at the keystone and bat fourth.
