  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Undergoes another wrist surgery

    Jung underwent tendon release surgery on his right wrist Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Jung missed most of the first four months of the season after having surgery to repair a fracture in the same wrist, and he went back on the injured list in late September with recurring discomfort. The hope is that, following this most recent wrist surgery, he will be able to have a normal offseason after 3-4 weeks of rehab. Jung had a .719 OPS with seven homers over 46 games with the Rangers this season.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Sitting out Game 4

    Cabrera is not in the lineup Thursday for Game 4 of the ALDS against the Royals.

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone has alternated starts at first base in the ALDS, with Cabrera starting Games 1 and 3 and Jon Berti handling the position in Games 2 and 4. Cabrera is 1-for-5 with a double and three walks in the series.

  • Jon Berti 3B | CHC

    Yankees' Jon Berti: Back at first base for Game 4

    Berti is starting at first base and batting ninth Thursday in Game 4 of the ALDS in Kansas City, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

    Berti received his first professional start at first base in Game 2 and will be back there in Game 4 as the Yankees try to close out the series. Oswaldo Cabrera -- who started Games 1 and 3 at first base -- will begin this contest on the bench.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Back at first base for Game 3

    Cabrera will start at first base and bat eighth Wednesday in Game 3 of the ALDS in Kansas City.

    Cabrera started Game 1 before yielding to Jon Berti in Game 2, but he will be back at first base for Game 3. The switch hitter went 1-for-4 with a double and three strikeouts in the first game of the series.

  • Jon Berti 3B | CHC

    Yankees' Jon Berti: Starting at first base in Game 2

    Berti is starting at first base and batting ninth Monday in Game 2 of the ALDS against the Royals.

    The 34-year-old Berti has never played first base before in the majors or minors, but he's been working out at the position in recent days and the Yankees feel comfortable enough with how he's looked there to throw him into the fire. Oswaldo Cabrera -- who started at first base in Game 1 and went 1-for-4 with a double and three strikeouts -- will begin the contest on the bench.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Starting at first base in Game 1

    Cabrera is starting at first base and batting eighth in Saturday's Game 1 of the ALDS against Kansas City.

    Cabrera played primarily at third base during the regular season but made five starts at first. Jazz Chisholm is locked into the starting role at the hot corner for the postseason, so Cabrera is needed much more at first base with Anthony Rizzo left off the roster due to a pair of fractured fingers. Ben Rice is also on the team's ALDS roster as an option at first base.

  • Bryan Ramos 3B | STL

    White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Shows power to close season

    Ramos went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Tigers.

    Ramos started 14 games in September after being recalled Sept. 4. He showed some decent pop by collecting three homers and five total extra-base hits in 59 plate appearances. He hit just .208, but a 23.7 percent strikeout rate isn't all that concerning. Ramos should be in position to compete for the starting third base job in 2025.

  • Darell Hernaiz SS | ATH

    Athletics' Darell Hernaiz: Contributes as in-game replacement

    Hernaiz entered Sunday's loss to the Mariners as a defensive replacement at third base in the seventh inning and went 1-for-1 with a two-run double.

    Hernaiz made things interesting during his only plate appearance, doubling home Seth Brown and Zack Gelof in the ninth inning to slice a four-run deficit in half. The young infielder played only 48 games at the major-league level during his rookie 2024 campaign, with a near two-month stay on the injured list due to an ankle issue playing a large part. Hernaiz finished with just a .192 average and .503 OPS across 135 plate appearances; however, the combination of his adequate 8.1 percent walk rate and 20.0 percent strikeout rate in his first brush with big-league arms and his career .294/.358/.424 minor-league slash line imply he could certainly take a notable step forward if he remains healthy in 2025.

  • Lenyn Sosa 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Strong finish to season

    Sosa went 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, three RBI and three runs Sunday against the Tigers.

    Sosa clubbed a three-run blast in the third inning, his eighth homer of the season. The three hits and three RBI matched his season highs. Over his final 14 games, Sosa posted eight multi-hit performances, going 20-for-49 (.408) with four homers, two doubles, 10 RBI and 10 runs.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Sitting Sunday after delay

    Bregman was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Guardians while it was in a rain delay, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    The game had been delayed for almost an hour when the team submitted a new lineup without Bregman, Jose Altuve or Kyle Tucker, as the Astros opted to not risk one of their veterans getting injured in subpar conditions ahead of the playoffs.
