  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Done for season

    The Rangers are expected to place Jung (wrist) on the 10-day injured list, ending his season, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Jung hasn't played since last Wednesday due to recurring discomfort in his surgically repaired right wrist. He is scheduled to be seen by a hand specialist Thursday in hopes of getting more information on the injury. Ezequiel Duran has started three of the last four games at third base and should continue to be the primary option at the position in the final week of the season. The Rangers are expected to promote either Dustin Harris or Sam Huff from the minors to take Jung's spot on the 28-man active roster.

  • Ernie Clement 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Three hits in loss

    Clement went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

    Batting second Sunday and getting another start at shortstop in the absence of Bo Bichette (finger), Clement continued a strong September that has seen him slash .292/.301/.389 in 18 games with a homer, two steals, four RBI and 10 runs. The 28-year-old infielder should retain a regular spot in the lineup over the final week of the season, and he's positioned himself for a prime role in the Blue Jays' 2025 plans.

  • Miguel Vargas 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Goes deep Sunday

    Vargas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

    Vargas took Yu Darvish deep to left center in the sixth to put the White Sox back up 2-1, though the lead would vanish in the eighth. Vargas picked up his first multi-hit game as a member of the White Sox and just his second home run and stolen base. In 36 games with his new team, Vargas is batting .122/.231/.200 with seven RBI, eight runs and a 15:38 BB:K in 138 plate appearances.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | HOU

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Goes deep in loss

    Bregman went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Angels.

    Bregman started the game's scoring with an RBI sacrifice fly in the third inning. He then ripped a two-run shot in the fifth before singling and scoring a run in each of the eighth and ninth innings. Bregman has gone deep twice in his last three games after hitting just two home runs in his previous 17 appearances. He now owns a .758 OPS with 55 extra-base hits and 78 runs scored through 141 games.

  • Jazz Chisholm 3B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Making push for 40 steals

    Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Athletics.

    Chisholm has been a flash on the basepaths with 10 steals over 19 games in September. He's up to 38 thefts on the season, and while he's been caught stealing 10 times, that volume puts him in position to push for a 40-steal campaign. In addition to the elite speed, he's slashing a reliable .256/.326/.434 with 23 home runs, 70 RBI, 74 runs scored, 19 doubles and four triples over 142 games between the Yankees and the Marlins this year.

  • Josh Rojas 3B | SEA

    Mariners' Josh Rojas: Resting against lefty

    Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    After starting in each of the previous three contests, the lefty-hitting Rojas will retreat to the bench while the Rangers send southpaw Andrew Heaney to the hill. Dylan Moore will replace Rojas as the Mariners' third baseman.

  • Royals' Maikel Garcia: Regaining playing time

    Garcia will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Garcia will pick up his fourth consecutive start and may have re-emerged as the Royals' preferred option at third base ahead of Adam Frazier and Paul DeJong. Since the beginning of September, Garcia has gotten on base at a poor .245 clip, but he's offered a bit of fantasy value with his speed (four steals).

  • Orioles' Emmanuel Rivera: Heads to bench Sunday

    Rivera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Rivera had started in each of the Orioles' last nine games while slashing .276/.333/.414 with one home run and two walks during that stretch, but he'll head to the bench for the series finale. With both Jordan Westburg (hand) and Ramon Urias (ankle) picking up starts in the infield in their returns from the 10-day injured list Sunday, Rivera could be at risk of falling into a part-time role during the final week of the season.

  • DJ LeMahieu 3B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Resumes baseball activities

    LeMahieu (hip) has been doing some baseball activities, including hitting off a tee, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

    LeMahieu landed on the injured list Sept. 9 due to a right hip impingement. The veteran infielder hasn't been ruled out from returning before the end of the regular season, though it's unclear how close he may be to being ready to play in games. LeMahieu will likely take on a bench role if he's able to play again this season, as the Yankees are set across the infield and have Giancarlo Stanton locked in as the everyday DH.

  • Rafael Devers 3B | BOS

    Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Will not require shoulder surgery

    Devers will not require offseason surgery after MRIs on both shoulders revealed inflammation, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Though he has had problems with both shoulders for a large chunk of the season, Devers' left (non-throwing) shoulder is considered to be the bigger issue. Thankfully, he looks like he'll be able to make a full recovery with extended rest. Devers was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, officially ending his season.
