  • Adam Frazier 2B | LAA

    Angels' Adam Frazier: Registers first steal

    Frazier went 2-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Thursday's 7-0 win over the Rangers.

    Frazier has gone 4-for-14 with two RBI over six games since he returned from a two-month absence due to elbow inflammation. He's in a reserve role for now, though he could see a short-term bump in usage while Oswald Peraza (hand), who is day-to-day, remains sidelined. Frazier is hitting .221 with a .621 OPS, one home run, eight RBI, 16 runs scored, five doubles, one triple and one steal over 107 plate appearances this season.

  • Vaughn Grissom 1B | LAA

    Angels' Vaughn Grissom: Records first steal of season

    Grissom went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 7-0 win over the Rangers.

    Grissom has gone 14-for-58 (.241) over his last 15 games, adding four extra-base hits and six RBI with a 1:15 BB:K in that span. The infielder's been seeing more time at third base lately to cover for a slumping Denzer Guzman, though Guzman had a three-hit effort while playing shortstop Thursday. Grissom would likely be in more of a utility role if the Angels were getting quality at-bats from around the infield, but he's managed to carve out pretty steady playing time for himself. Grissom is hitting .249 with a .692 OPS, seven home runs, 47 RBI, 31 runs scored, 16 doubles and a steal over 80 contests this season.

  • Nicky Lopez 2B | TEX

    Rangers' Nicky Lopez: Swipes bag Thursday

    Lopez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 7-0 loss to the Angels.

    Lopez entered the contest just 1-for-12 over his last six games. The steal was his first since July 2 versus the Tigers, and he hasn't been particularly active since that date with just two stolen-base attempts. On the year, the infielder is batting .268 with a .621 OPS, one home run, 20 RBI, 19 runs scored, three doubles, one triple and five steals over 211 plate appearances.

  • Oswald Peraza 2B | LAA

    Angels' Oswald Peraza: Expected to take swings Thursday

    Peraza (hand) is set to take some swings prior to Thursday night's contest against the Rangers, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

    Peraza is not in the starting lineup Thursday after suffering a left hand contusion in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers. Manager Kurt Suzuki said that Peraza can play defense, but the team wants to ensure that he feels comfortable at the plate. The 26-year-old can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

  • Brice Turang 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Brice Turang: Dealing with left knee injury

    Turang (knee) is not in the starting lineup Thursday night against the Dodgers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Turang is dealing with left knee pain, and he underwent an MRI on Thursday. Manager Pat Murphy did not rule the second baseman out past Thursday's contest, but Turang is expected to get a second opinion following the MRI. If Turang is forced to miss any action moving forward, David Hamilton and Ji Hwan Bae would be the top two candidates to fill in for him at second base.

  • Andy Ibanez 2B | NYM

    Andy Ibanez: Let go by Mets

    The Mets released Ibanez on Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

    Over 38 games at four different levels (including 31 contests with Triple-A Syracuse), Ibanez slashed .310/.338/.469 with five home runs and 22 RBI across 157 plate appearances. However, in his brief time in the majors with the Athletics and Mets in 2026, he has recorded only two hits in 23 at-bats.

  • Nasim Nunez 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Nasim Nunez: Exiting Thursday's lineup

    Nunez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

    It's a routine day off for Nunez, who had started each game in August before Thursday's breather. Jorbit Vivas will fill in at second base for the Nationals.

  • Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC

    Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Rare day off Thursday

    Hoerner is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Nationals.

    After starting each of the previous 13 games, Hoerner will get a breather on the final day of the Cubs' road trip. Pedro Ramirez will cover second base in Hoerner's stead.

  • Henry Godbout 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Henry Godbout: Returns from IL, heads to Double-A

    Godbout (hand) has gone 0-for-9 with three strikeouts over his first two games at Double-A Portland since being assigned to the affiliate Tuesday after being reinstated from High-A Greenville's 60-day injured list.

    Godbout slashed .277/.410/.492 with seven home runs and two stolen bases over 34 games with Greenville before hitting the shelf June 2 after fracturing his left hand and requiring surgery. The 23-year-old shortstop kicked off a rehab assignment at Single-A Salem on July 31, and after playing in five games in the Carolina League, the Red Sox decided that he was ready to make his Double-A debut.

  • Cole Young 2B | SEA

    Mariners' Cole Young: Absent from Seattle lineup

    Young (head) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

    Young was removed from Wednesday's contest due to dizziness. He's no longer experiencing dizziness but is still not feeling great, per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. With southpaw Max Fried on the bump for the Yankees, it make sense to give the left-handed-hitting Young a day off. Brendan Donovan is sliding over to second base, and Weston Wilson will play third base for the Mariners.
