  • JJ Wetherholt 2B | STL

    Cardinals' JJ Wetherholt: Taking seat for finale

    Wetherholt is not in the lineup for Sunday's game in Milwaukee.

    Wetherholt will grab a seat for Sunday's regular-season finale while Cesar Prieto covers second base. Assuming he does not appear off the bench Sunday, Wetherholt will finish his rookie season with a .242/.339/.365 batting line, 17 home runs, 14 stolen bases and a 64:104 BB:K.

  • Rays' Richie Palacios: Drives in four in rout

    Palacios went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and four RBI in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Phillies.

    Palacios drove in runs in three separate trips to the plate, highlighted by a two-run single in the sixth inning. The 29-year-old has been swinging a hot bat in September, hitting .306 with five homers and 18 RBI while also swiping six bags. With one game left in the regular season, he's slashing .238/.333/.378 with 10 home runs, 57 RBI, 51 runs scored and 17 steals across a career-high 395 plate appearances.

  • Michael Arroyo 2B | SEA

    Mariners' Michael Arroyo: Raps out three hits

    Arroyo went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Angels.

    This is Arroyo's second multi-hit effort in a row and his fourth overall. The 21-year-old is now batting .353 over 14 games in the majors, adding one home run, two stolen bases, four RBI and five runs scored. Arroyo's plate discipline is already evident -- he has a 5:6 BB:K, and that should help him as he tries to make a full-time adjustment to the majors moving forward.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Crushes go-ahead homer Saturday

    Turang went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run during the Brewers' 3-2 win over the Cardinals on Saturday.

    Turang gave the Brewers the lead for good in the fifth inning with a 421-foot, two-run homer to center field. It was the 21st home run of the season for the second baseman, and he's one RBI away from reaching 100 for the first time in his major-league career. Over his last five games, Turang has gone 8-for-21 with six RBI and five extra-base hits (including two homers).

  • Hao Yu Lee 2B | DET

    Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Reaches four times in win

    Lee went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

    Lee continued his strong recent stretch of a play with another multi-hit performance. Over his last eight games, the rookie infielder is batting .371 with a home run, four runs scored and four RBI. Lee will get one more chance to add to his stats if he's in the lineup Sunday before turning his attention toward 2027. The 23-year-old has shown plenty of promise and figures to be a key part of Detroit's future plans.

  • Nicky Lopez 2B | TEX

    Rangers' Nicky Lopez: Leaves Saturday's game

    Lopez (ankle/heel) was removed from Saturday's game against the Twins, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Per Wilson, Lopez tweaked his left ankle/heel while trying to beat out a bunt at the top of the third inning, and he initially stayed in defensively before being replaced by Cody Freeman in the fourth. The Rangers should have an update on Lopez's status for Sunday's game once the veteran infielder undergoes more tests.

  • Brandon Lowe 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Brandon Lowe: Belts homer No. 35

    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Tigers.

    The veteran second baseman took Justin Verlander deep in the fourth inning, in the future Hall of Famer's final career start. Lowe has put together an impressive first season with the Pirates, slashing .260/.331/.493 in 150 games with 35 homers and 96 RBI, the second-highest totals of his career after his 39-homer, 99-RBI eruption for the Rays in 2021.

  • Chase Meidroth 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Sitting again Saturday

    Meidroth (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

    Meidroth will get another day off to recover from a hamstring issue that's been bothering him as the White Sox aim to get him as healthy as possible for the postseason. Sam Antonacci will start at second base as a result, opening up left field for Randal Grichuk.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Out again Saturday

    Edwards (thumb) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

    Edwards will miss a sixth consecutive game Saturday as he continues to recover from a thumb injury he aggravated last week. Jared Serna will start at second base again and bat ninth; meanwhile, Edwards will have just one more opportunity to play again this year before the season ends Sunday.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Mets' Marcus Semien: Resting Saturday

    Semien isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Washington.

    Semien will step out of the starting nine Saturday after going just 1-for-19 across New York's last five games. Ronny Mauricio will replace him at second base and bat ninth.
