  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Belts homer in win

    Edman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Giants.

    Edman has gone 6-for-28 (.214) over seven games since returning from an ankle injury, adding four RBI and five runs scored in that span. The 30-year-old's last homer had come July 29 versus the Reds, but he missed more than five weeks on the injured list between long balls. For the season, he's up to a .227/.277/.390 slash line with 13 homers, 48 RBI, 48 runs scored and three stolen bases over 93 contests.

  • Bryson Stott 2B | PHI

    Phillies' Bryson Stott: Handling everyday reps

    Stott went 2-for-3 with a walk and a double in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    With Trea Turner (hamstring) and Edmundo Sosa (groin) both on the injured list, Stott has started each of Philadelphia's last eight games to help pick up the slack. Stott had a weak .645 OPS through July 30, but he's fared far better at the dish ever since. Over his last 150 plate appearances, he's slashing .321/.393/.519 with 15 extra-base hits, 24 RBI, 21 runs scored and seven stolen bases to raise his OPS to .719 for the year.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Plates game-winning run

    Turang went 1-for-5 with one RBI in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning victory at St. Louis.

    Turang knocked home the automatic runner in the 10th with a single to give his club a 3-2 lead. Turang has anchored the division-leading Brewers with a .286 (18-for-63) average, two homers, two steals, 10 runs scored and nine RBI in 17 games this month. Overall, the 25-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic breakout season and is now slashing .286/.356/.436 with 18 homers, 24 stolen bases, 95 runs scored and 77 RBI across 632 plate appearances.

  • Nick Yorke 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Yorke: Goes deep in win

    Yorke went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Athletics.

    Yorke got the Pirates on the board with his first home run since making his season debut Sept. 2. The 23-year-old also notched his first multi-hit game Saturday and has now hit safely in three straight contests. For the year, he's gone 10-for-46 with three extra-base hits, six RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base across 48 major-league plate appearances.

  • Tim Tawa 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Riding pine Saturday

    Tawa isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

    The D-backs will keep Tawa on the bench Saturday after he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's series opener. His absence will allow Ildemaro Vargas to start at first base and bat eighth.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Ruled out for season

    Manager Joe Espada said Saturday that Rodgers (back/concussion) won't play again this season, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Rodgers initially landed on the injured list in June due to an oblique strain, but his time on the shelf has since been extended by a concussion, a nasal fracture and, most recently, back inflammation. With slightly more than a week left in the regular season, the 29-year-old will now shift his focus to getting ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. He's also due to become a free agent this winter.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Returning to action Saturday

    Edwards (wrist) will start at second base and bat third Saturday against the Rangers.

    Edwards missed six straight starts while nursing a wrist injury, though he was able to go 2-for-3 with an RBI off the bench Friday. Now fully recovered, he'll return to the starting nine and aim to end the season on a high note after slashing .243/.317/.324 across 41 plate appearances to begin September.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Losing work to Massey

    India isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Saturday marks the fourth consecutive game that will begin with Michael Massey at the keystone and India on the bench. India has still appeared in two of the Royals' last three contests, though it seems his time as the regular second baseman in Kansas City has come to an end.

  • Zack Gelof 2B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Officially placed on IL

    Gelof was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a dislocated left shoulder.

    It was already reported that Gelof was done for the season after suffering the injury in Friday's game against the Pirates. Max Muncy (hand) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move and should play regularly in place of Gelof down the stretch.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Goes deep Friday

    Moore went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Colorado.

    Moore put the Angels on the board with a two-run homer that tied the score 2-2 in the second inning. The rookie second baseman has been flashing his power of late, belting three homers in six games since being called back up to the big leagues Sept. 13. His other two hits during that span have been doubles, though he's also struck out nine times in 20 plate appearances.
