  • Diamondbacks' Brandon Drury: Collects two hits Saturday

    Drury went 2-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Giants.

    The double was Drury's team-leading 35th of the season. Drury remains in a timeshare at second base with Daniel Descalso but offers more fantasy upside of the two thanks to his superior power.

  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Pirates' Adam Frazier: Not starting Sunday

    Frazier is out of the lineup Sunday against the Brewers.

    Sean Rodriguez will be deployed at second base Sunday while Frazier gets the day off after starting five consecutive games. Frazier will likely return to the lineup Monday against the Brewers.

  • Padres' Yangervis Solarte: Rides pine Saturday

    Solarte is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

    Erick Aybar will get the start at shortstop against lefty Tyler Anderson. Solarte has a sub-.650 OPS overall since his return from an oblique injury in late July, and he's batting just .198/.269/.245 against left-handed pitching for the season.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Mets' Amed Rosario: Back in action

    Rosario (hip) is back in the lineup Saturday against the Braves, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

    Just as Rosario turned the page on a finger issue, he hurt his hip flexor, but evidently it was a minor injury as the 21-year-old is set to return after missing one start. Rosario didn't do much initially upon his arrival to the big leagues, but he's batting .312/.340/.484 with four homers and five steals in his last 27 games.

  • Logan Forsythe 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Logan Forsythe: Out of Saturday's lineup

    Forsythe is out of Saturday's lineup against the Nationals, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

    He will sit for a second straight game and is hitting just .200/.282/.343 with one home run in 35 at-bats this month. Chase Utley will lead off and man the keystone against righty A.J. Cole.

  • Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Excused from team

    Hernandez has been excused from the team for the time being to attend to a personal matter, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

    Hernandez's grandfather passed away, so the team has allowed him to return to Puerto Rico to be with his family. It remains to be seen when he will be ready to return to the team, and who will fill his role in his absence.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Mets' Amed Rosario: Held out Friday

    Rosario (hip) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Rosario was replaced in the fifth inning of Thursday's game after injuring himself during an at-bat. The club has yet to release any information regarding the 21-year-old's condition, but he should be considered day-to-day for the time being. In his place, Jose Reyes will draw the assignment at shortstop.

  • Logan Forsythe 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Logan Forsythe: Not in Friday's lineup

    Forsythe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

    Forsythe will occupy a seat on the bench for the second time in the past three games after going 1-for-3 with an RBI and a double during Wednesday's contest. In his place, Chase Utley draws a start for the series opener.

  • Elvis Andrus 2B | ARI

    Rangers' Elvis Andrus: Goes hitless in series finale

    Andrus went 0-for-3 at the dish in Thursday's 10-4 loss to the Mariners.

    After a red-hot August and strong start to September, Andrus has cooled off over the past six games, going 3-for-19 with three walks. The minor slump shouldn't prompt Andrus' fantasy owners to take him out of the lineup, as he's been one of the top performing shortstops all season and should play nearly every day with the Rangers still fighting for a playoff spot.

  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Mets' Amed Rosario: Leaves early Thursday

    Rosario exited Thursday's game against the Cubs with a hip flexor injury, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Rosario was injured during an at-bat in the fifth inning. The extent of his setback has not been determined, but his expect his status to be updated when more details are released.
