Massey went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians.

Massey reached on an error and scored on a Drew Waters homer in the third inning before adding a solo shot of his own in the fifth. Massey received steady playing time in September, hitting .236 with three homers, a steal, six RBI and 10 runs scored across 20 games. He's at a .247/.314/.392 slash line with four long balls, 15 RBI, 16 runs scored and three steals across 48 contests to begin his big-league career.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-4 loss to the Giants.

This was Rojas' first multi-hit effort since Sept. 11. The 28-year-old had a rough month, going 15-for-74 (.203), which cost him some playing time in combination with sloppy defense. He's been more good than bad in 2022 overall, logging a .264/.345/.376 slash line with eight home runs, 51 RBI, 64 runs scored and 21 steals in 120 games.

Rodgers went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Friday's 10-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Rodgers snapped an 0-for-15 skid that dated back to Sept. 13, though he had a minimal stay on the injured list with a hamstring issue in that span. He was the only Colorado batter to log multiple hits in Friday's blowout loss. The second baseman lifted his season slash line to .263/.321/.399 with the productive effort, and he's added 11 home runs, 61 RBI, 69 runs scored and 30 doubles through 132 contests.

Kim went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-1 loss to the White Sox.

Kim hit just .207 (19-for-92) in September, adding three home runs, four doubles, seven RBI, eight runs scored and two steals in 25 contests. The shortstop nonetheless has maintained a near-everyday role. He's at a .248/.320/.375 slash line with 11 steals, 10 homers, 56 RBI and 56 runs scored through 146 games this season.

Andrus went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 3-1 win over the Padres.

Andrus entered the contest 0-for-22 across his last five games, though he wasn't out of the lineup in that span. He was able to put the slump to rest Friday, and he also picked up his 16th steal of the year. The shortstop now owns a .247/.302/.390 slash line with 14 home runs, 52 RBI, 62 runs scored and 31 doubles through 144 contests.

Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and three RBI in Friday's win over the Reds.

Hoerner made the most out of having only one hit. He drove in two on a second-inning double, then recorded another RBI an inning later on a groundout. The shortstop is batting a robust .284 this season, though he does have just three hits across his last 20 at-bats. Despite some recent struggles, Hoerner remains a solid fantasy asset, particularly when he's swiping bases, as he has 19 steals in 21 attempts this year.

Marte (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list Friday.

He was originally listed as part of Friday's lineup, so it's unclear what the exact injury is, but Marte hasn't been 100 percent healthy for much of the season. Buddy Kennedy, who was recalled in a corresponding move, could get some opportunities over the final days of the season.

Villar is not in Friday's lineup against the Diamondbacks, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Villar has now sat three of the last four games after starting several in a row. Evan Longoria is starting at third base and hitting fifth.

Gonzalez isn't starting Friday against the Padres.

Gonzalez started the last two games and went 2-for-7 with a triple, a run, an RBI and four strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Josh Harrison starts at the keystone and bats ninth.

Frazier isn't starting Friday's game against Oakland, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The 30-year-old second baseman has a .564 OPS this season against left-handed pitchers, so he will sit in the dugout with Ken Waldichuk set to begin the game for the A's. Dylan Moore will fill in for him at second base and lead off the Mariners' lineup.
