  • Max Anderson 2B | DET

    Tigers' Max Anderson: Putting together impressive season

    Anderson is performing well in the minors this season and will play in the Arizona Fall League, where he'll focus on defense and finding a good positional fit, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    Anderson has a .296 batting average, 29 doubles, 18 home runs, 82 RBI and an .830 OPS in 115 games between Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo this season. The 23-year-old, who primarily plays second and third base, has put himself into a position to potentially make his MLB debut at some point in 2026. Anderson will use the AFL assignment to focus on further developing his defensive versatility and finding the right fit, and if he continues to rake as well, his prospect stock should rise heading into next season.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Provides lone run in loss

    Schmitt went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Schmitt was the only Giant to hit safely in this game, which included his third-inning solo shot for the team's lone run. He had gone cold over the weekend, going 0-for-10 with two walks in three games against the Dodgers. Schmitt is up to 11 homers this year while adding 37 RBI, 30 runs scored, 14 doubles and a .240/.308/.406 slash line across 86 contests. He has not attempted a stolen base in 2025.

  • Dylan Moore LF | PHI

    Rangers' Dylan Moore: Nabs steal in loss

    Moore went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.

    Moore is now 6-for-19 with two home runs and two steals over 12 games with the Rangers. He continues to occupy a part-time role as a utility player in a reserve role. For the season, he's logged 14 steals, 11 homers, 25 RBI, 34 runs scored and a .204/.266/.384 slash line across 100 games between Texas and Seattle.

  • Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Could return Tuesday

    Sosa (groin) will complete a workout Monday with the hope of returning to the starting lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Sosa has remained sidelined since Friday due to groin soreness, but he's on the brink of a return. The team will have a better idea on whether he'll be back in the starting nine for Tuesday's matchup once Sosa completes his Monday workout.

  • Jack Winkler SS | HOU

    Marlins' Jack Winkler: Returned to minors

    The Marlins optioned Winkler to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

    Winkler appeared in three games since his promotion Sept. 5, going 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles. He'll head back to the minors to make room for the returns of Connor Norby (quadriceps), Graham Pauley (oblique) and Dane Myers (oblique) from the injured list and Tyler Phillips (personal) from the paternity list.

  • Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Remains on bench

    Sosa (groin) is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Dodgers, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Sosa will remain on the bench for a third contest in a row while dealing with right groin tightness. Bryson Stott will draw another start at shortstop while Weston Wilson handles second base against Los Angeles.

  • Marcus Semien 2B | NYM

    Rangers' Marcus Semien: Takes batting practice Monday

    Semien (foot) was spotted taking batting practice on the field Monday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    The team has yet to offer up a timeline for Semien's return after he went down with a broken left foot in late August, but it's a positive sign that he's progressed to taking on-field BP. Texas is a few games back from a wild-card spot, so the club would certainly welcome Semien back into the fold down the stretch if he's cleared for game action.
